If you want to read more of Pepys (and I highly recommend it) then https://www.pepysdiary.com/ is great, and I also did over the course of 14 months a thoroughly produced PD ebook for Standard Ebooks with all of the footnotes added back in that Gutenberg missed: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/samuel-pepys/the-diary

This is also fun; the diary in realtime (currently on 1667, so a bit late for the plague): https://twitter.com/samuelpepys

The comments on the Pepys diary website, especially on the spicier entries, are absolutely hilarious.

Just noticed that Audible has the diary in two volumes - 79 hours in total!
