If you're finding it tough to carve out the time to read these days, consider switching over to audiobooks. These narrated works really make the stories come alive, immersing you in their world and providing the perfect respite from the grind of your daily commute, workout, or house chores. Get your lit fix with these 17 best-selling audiobooks.

Pro tip: Instead of paying upwards of $20 for one-off purchases, sign up for Audible (the first month is free!) and select a new audiobook to enjoy every month. At $15 a month, it's far more reasonable for avid audiobook listeners, and you get to keep all of the books you download, whether or not you stick with your membership.
