Packed full of historical significance, suspense, and romance, this is an audiobook that you do not want to miss. Recruited as the personal driver for Hitler in Italy, Pino is faced with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command. But none of that matters when his parents force him to become a German soldier. He didn’t ask for war with the Nazis, and he certainly didn’t expect to meet the beautiful Anna. Waving goodbye to his childhood, he joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps. It is the incredible tale of Pino Lella, an Italian teenager during World War II. These are the most laugh-out-loud audiobooks of all time.Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, this book topped the Amazon Charts and is soon to be a major television event, starring Tom Holland. That said, occasionally, a book will get to me, and I find it much easier to laugh when I hear it out loud rather than reading it off a cold, dead page. Though I’ve spent much of my "career" as a comedian attempting to make people laugh with words, a book often feels stale, dry, and at best, more winsome than funny. It’s more rare to find myself laughing from books I’ve read.
If you didn’t know anything about Plath, and you read a book about a woman toying with the idea of suicide after spending a month in a hellish internship program in New York City, and ultimately deciding suicide is not the answer… isn’t that what dark comedy is supposed to do? To walk right up to the worst subjects in life and thumb your nose at them? Regardless of plot, the acerbic narrator's observations sound more like Larry David than Virginia Woolf. For instance, I laugh every time I read Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.
I guffaw at extremely sad and poignant moments in movies. I’m not the first person to point out that humor is like porn: what works for me may not work for you. I often find myself laughing at stuff others don’t find funny.
