Recommend a short book that I can listen to on a 4-5 hour drive

I have a 4-5 hour drive coming up this weekend, and I'd like to listen to (and finish, as there will be other people in the car) an audio book.

On the same drive, I recently listened to Sh*t My Dad Says, which was a perfect length and appropriately light. Recommendations don't necessarily have to be humor books (what's David Sedaris's shortest book?), but humor or fiction is preferred.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Christopher Moore has a few short books on audio cd:

http://www.amazon.com/You-Suck-CD-Ch...1204755&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.com/Stupidest-Ange...1204755&sr=8-5

You suck is pretty good but just a word of warning it's a follow up to a previous book so there may be some references you may not get. Still a funny book.

Stupidest Angel is a standalone story and i found it to be the funniest of all moores books.

Great suggestions -- thank you! I haven't read much of Moore -- just looked through Lamb at a friend's house, and it seemed pretty darn clever.
