I've got a month or so of SPSS data analysis and I am fine listening to music, but would rather listen to some nice stories instead!

I know Walminski listens to them too

Has anyone any recommendations?

It might not be what you're after, or very fashionable (!) but I'm personally completely addicted to Agatha Christie audiobooks - you can download them from Itunes for around £8-£10. I think its something to do with the way everything fits together so neatly at the end, it's reassuring when things you're working on are so complicated and seemingly without end!

well so far I've bought sean lock stand up. I'm tempted to buy something like terry pratchett.
