Just finished Mistborn and loved it. Looking for things that are exciting but don't require too too much brainpower. Also enjoyed sappy stuff like Anita Blake.

I like listening to Mindy Kaling's book. It's just a collection of her thoughts on things, but the way it's written it's just like having a friend chatting with you while you drive/commute. I love it.

Duuuude, listen to The Leviathan Chronicles. It's a freaking audio adventure and it's amaaaaaazing!
My favorite audiobook is Under the Dome by Stephen King. It's a really compelling story and it's read by Raul Esparza, who is an incredible talent: I think he has to do like 100+ voices in that book, and they're all distinct enough that you can actually tell them apart.
...napalm and silly putty... Because who needs a plot with characters and stuff amirite?

I Partridge always brings the lolz.
I like listening to the ricky Gervais show. It's not an audiobook but more of a perpetual discussion between Ricky Gervais, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington, and it's frickin hilarious.
This one, if it was real. I'd listen the shit out of it.
Since you liked Mistborn... I've been listening to Brandon Sanderson's new series, Stormlight Archive. The first book is The Way of Kings, and I've really enjoyed it so far. Just a heads up, though, it's very long (45 hours-ish).
I really enjoyed Moab Is My Washpot written and narrated by Stephen Fry. It's about his school years and how he was generally terrible when he was growing up. It's really funny though, and the way he narrates it is great.
Have you tried the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton (writer of Anita Blake)? I like it a hundred times more than Anita, personally.
Any of the Sue Grafton Alphabet Mystery series is pretty funny and good to listen to. World War Z on audiobook is pretty freaking amazing as well.
