Help me chose an audio book

I've got 2 free credits for audible but can't chose what to get.

I am notoriously fussy about what I pick up to read. I tend to read trash quite a lot and I think it's because I fear reading things that are too emotional (not sure what that says about me). I read 'chick lit' or action/thrillers.

I'm after something that I can listen to while crocheting, but I'm also due to have DC2 any day now so may want to listen while bfing at night etc. But that also means I will be in a hormonal/sleep deprived state so nothing gruesome, or about children being murdered or anything!

I like non-fiction books, because I like to feel like I have learned something (to make up for the usual trash that I read). One of the books I am considering is the Tony Blair autobiography.

I'm open to suggestions really.

Thanks Butterfly. I looked at Bad Science, but I think Ben Goldacre might piss me off with his smug knowallism Grin. Might be inclined to actually read the book.

In the end I went for the Tony Blair biog and The American Wife.

I'm a day late and a dollar short with this recommendation as you've already chosen your audiobooks, but 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett is a brilliant audiobook and I've also heard good things about 'Restless', by William Boyd.
