Scott Adams, Read by Scott Adams. Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel
Taking a look into the Weasel Zone of American corporations--the giant gray area between good moral behavior and outright felonious activities--Adams builds on his popular comic strip and looks into work, home, and everyday life, exposing the way of the weasel for everyone to see. (Abridged CD)
 
Dave Barry. Read by Johnny Heller. Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up

In this collection of heartwarming essays, the bestselling author ponders what it takes to survive the rigors of contemporary living. (Unabridged Cassette & CD)
George Carlin. Read by George Carlin. Napalm & Silly Putty
Carlin waxes wickedly philosophical in this hilarious new collection of razor-sharp observations. The bestselling author of "Brain Droppings" proves once again that he's one comic who can successfully make the transition from stage to page with his ironic take on life's annoying universal truths. (Abridged CD)
Garrison Keillor. Read by Garrison Keillor. A Prairie Home Companion: 25th Anniversary Collection

P.J. O'Rourke. Read by Dick Hill. The CEO of the Sofa
Humorist O'Rourke embarks on a mission to the most frightening place of all--his own home, where he holds forth on a variety of topics, including a three-year-old who wants a cell phone, his career as a freelance writer, Hillary Clinton's election victory, how to get toddlers to sleep, and neighbors who smell like Democrats. (Unabridged Cassette)
David Rakoff. Read by David Rakoff. Fraud
A hilarious collection of essays that single-handedly raises self-deprecation to an art form. (Unabridged CD)
David Remnick, Henry Finder [Eds.]. Read by Patrick Frederic, Byron Jennings, Julie Halston, Michael Goz, Chris Gannon, Faith Prince. Fierce Pajamas: Selections from an Anthology of Humor Writing from the New Yorker
This audio gathers together, for the first time, the funniest work of more than thirty New Yorker contributors. Pieces offer perspectives on the heights of fame, the depths of social embarrassment, and the ups and downs of love and sex. Such well-loved sketches as Thurber's 'The secret life of Walter Mitty' take their place alongside light-hearted essays on food, film, and flights of fancy that follow an apparently simple premise to the point of no return, and sometimes well beyond. (Unabridged CD)
David Sedaris. Read by David Sedaris. Me Talk Pretty One Day
A recent transplant to Paris, humorist David Sedaris, bestselling author of "Naked", presents a collection of his strongest work yet, including the title story about his hilarious attempt to learn French. (Cassette & CD)
