Ramblebook by Adam Buxton The story of Adam Buxtons life and upbringing might not sound like the most fascinating listen，but his fans will know that he switches between humour and bitterness to produce a show thats regularly as moving as it is funny.Ramblebook is about the authors childhood，friendships，and 1980s pop culture.The audiobook is better than the hard copy because Buxton is such a friendly guide. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson The word friendly was invented to describe Bill Bryson，and youre reminded why when you hear him read his own books.Brysons genius lies in his ability to write about hard subjects- from Shakespeare to the human body- while making them seem so easy.It will teach you about everything from the Big Bang to modern physics，without ever feeling like a lesson. Alan PartridgeNomad by Steve Coogan Sometimes you just want to hear something funny，in which case，this，the third volume in Alan Partridges memoirs （回忆录） is perfect.Having a comedian- particularly one with a voice as recognisable as Partridges- makes more sense than reading the text.As a rule，books by comedians almost always work better on audio. The Best of Me by David Sedaris If youve heard the humourist David Sedaris read his autobiographical （自传的） stories on Radio 4，youll know what to expect and are probably already a fan.Listening to the audiobook means youre listening to his story，in its own unique voice. 1.
