Three laugh out loud audiobooks to get you through Valentine’s Day

Sick of romance and chick-lit this Valentine’s Day? Here at Mediajist we’ve put together our top three side-splitting audiobooks you can chuckle along to. All available on Mediajist for download today!

One. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams

This is one of the funniest books ever written. The much-loved Sci-fi comedy classic is worth your listening time in any medium. Follow Arthur Dents and Ford Prefects’ adventures around the universe with the delightful twist of Stephen Fry’s narration.

Two. Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me Ben Karlin (editor), various authors

This is all about the men who get dumped and get over it without becoming morons. It’s a collection of short stories from the underdogs of breakups. Some are sweet; some are tales of woe. If you’ve ever had your heartbroken and stamped on, and even if you are not quite ready to laugh about it, this is the book for you.

Three. Where’d You Go, Bernadette? Maria Semple

This is a delightfully fun story primarily told through emails of a mom from Seattle sitting on the edge of a nervous breakdown—ridiculing homeowners, married life, private schooling and TED talks. This novel displays the disappointment and misgivings of upper-class society. Maria’s comic genius shines throughout this audiobook.
