Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeon's First Years , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
When Michael Collins decided to become a surgeon, he was totally unprepared for the chaotic life of a resident at a major hospital. A natural overachiever, Collins' success in college and medical school led to a surgical residency at one of the most respected medical centers in the world, the famed Mayo Clinic. But compared to his fellow residents, Collins felt inadequate and unprepared. All too soon the euphoria of beginning his career as an orthopedic resident gave way to the feeling he was a counterfeit, an imposter who had infiltrated a society of brilliant surgeons. This story of Collins' four-year surgical residency traces his rise from an eager but clueless first-year resident to accomplished chief resident in his final year. With unparalleled humor he recounts the disparity between people's perceptions of a doctor's glamorous life and the real thing: a succession of run-down cars that are towed to the junkyard, long weekends moonlighting at rural hospitals, a family that grows larger every year, and a laughable income. ungekürzt.

Lord Jim , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 854min
Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad, originally published in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900. Originally intended as a short story, the work grew to a full-length novel as Conrad explored in great depth the perplexing, ambiguous problem of lost honor and guilt, expiation, and heroism. The story tells of Jim, a young, good-looking, genial, and naive water-clerk on the Patna, a cargo ship plying Asian waters. One night, when the ship collides with an obstacle and begins to sink, acting on impulse, Jim jumps overboard and lands in a lifeboat, which happens to be bearing the unscrupulous captain and his cohorts away from the disaster. The Patna, however, manages to stay afloat. The foundering vessel is towed into port - and since the officers have strategically vanished, Jim is left to stand trial for abandoning the ship and its 800 passengers. Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, 1857 - 1924) was a Polish-born British novelist. He is considered as one of the greatest novelists in the English language.

Drive Me Wild , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 527min
When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing.I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful.Problem is, she’s stranded in my small town, and I’m hiding a protective streak underneath my broody exterior that runs deep. So I offer her a place to stay and keep my hands to myself.For exactly one night.If only she weren't so gorgeous. So funny. So eager to please. She’s a disaster behind the wheel, but she drives me wild without even trying - at work, at home, in the back of my truck...I can’t get enough of the way she makes me feel.But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.So when it comes time for her to leave, there’s nothing I can do but let her go.No matter how much it hurts to say goodbye. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Paradise Salvage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 863min
In his tantalizing debut novel, Paradise Salvage, at once a taut thriller and a lyrical coming-of-age story, John Fusco marvelously traces the unforgettable trajectory of 12-year-old Nunzio Paradiso's last summer of innocence. Each new wreck towed into Paradise Salvage is a desultory gift from Fortune, a random opportunity for discovery. Sometimes it's a handful of loose change under the upholstery or an old copy of Vue magazine with a Betty Page centerfold under the front seat. But on a hot summer day in 1979, in the trunk of an abandoned Pontiac Bonneville, Nunzio uncovers a secret that will change his life. In the blink of an eye, all evidence is lost to the crusher, and only his older brother Danny Boy believes Nunzio's story. Enlisting the help of his father's renegade cousin, an ex-cop with a dark history of his own, they embark on a bizarre and dangerous journey that proves to be as much one of personal discovery as an unraveling of the mystery behind the corpse at Paradise Salvage. A story of innocence lost and justice found, of ambition frustrated and dreams realized, and the difference between generations of a family struggling to reconcile the traditions of the past with the demands of the present, Paradise Salvage glows with heart and marks the debut of a gifted storyteller. ungekürzt.

A Newfoundlander in Canada: Always Going Somewhere, Always Coming Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
Following the fantastic success of his best-selling memoir, Where I Belong, Great Big Sea front man Alan Doyle returns with a hilarious, heartwarming account of leaving Newfoundland and discovering Canada for the first time. Armed with the same personable, candid style found in his first book, Alan Doyle turns his perspective outward from Petty Harbour toward mainland Canada, reflecting on what it was like to venture away from the comforts of home and the familiarity of the island. Often in a van, sometimes in a bus, occasionally in a car with broken wipers "using Bob's belt and a rope found by Paddy's Pond" to pull them back and forth, Alan and his bandmates charted new territory, and he constantly measured what he saw of the vast country against what his forefathers once called the Daemon Canada. In a period punctuated by triumphant leaps forward for the band, deflating steps backward, and everything in between - opening for Barney the Dinosaur at an outdoor music festival, being propositioned at a gas station mail-order bride service in Alberta, drinking moonshine with an elderly churchgoer on a Sunday morning in PEI - Alan's few established notions about Canada were often debunked, and his own identity as a Newfoundlander was constantly challenged. Touring the country, he also discovered how others view Newfoundlanders and how skewed these images can sometimes be. Asked to play in front of the queen at a massive Canada Day festival on Parliament Hill, the concert organizers assured Alan and his bandmates that the best way to showcase Newfoundland culture was for them to be towed onto stage in a dory and introduced not as Newfoundlanders but as "Newfies". The boys were not amused. Heartfelt, funny, and always insightful, these stories tap in to the complexities of community and Canadianness, forming the portrait of a young man from a tiny fishing village trying to define and hold on to his sense of home while navigati ungekürzt.

What the Hail: Hail Raisers Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 394min
He's wanted her since he repossessed her car and made her cry.Baylor Hail knew two things. One, he hated crying females. Two, it was even worse when he was the one to make that female cry. He never meant to do anything but his job, but when one thing leads to another, suddenly all he can think about is the broken woman whose car he towed.She's wanted him since he patted her back and told her it was okay to cry even though she knew he was lying. Nothing ever goes right for Lark. Not when she got married. Not when she tried to leave her abusive husband, and not when she arrived in a new town with a fresh, clean slate. That clean slate came courtesy of a secret organization that specializes in helping abused women find a way out. They set her up with a whole new life. It just turns out that it happened to be right smack dab in the middle of another woman's old one. That woman also happens to be down on her luck, something that Lark learns the hard way when on her first day there, her car is towed by a handsome stranger. It's been two years since she's felt any kind of sexual attraction toward a man, and she reacts badly. We're talking full-on, hysterical breakdown as he loads her car onto his tow truck while looking at her like she's lost it.Maybe being crazy isn't all that bad. The next thing she knows, she's spending time with the sexy stranger, and life couldn't be better - even though she still doesn't have a car. She thinks she's in the clear, that she's got it all figured out...well, that is, until her ex-husband finds her again.Now the ball is in her sexy stranger's court as he decides whether or not her kind of crazy is worth getting killed over. Turns out, for Baylor Hail, maybe it is. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mason Lloyd, Kendall Taylor.

Why RVs Provide the Best Housing Option for People Who Love to Travel the World, the Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in an RV, and Why Mobile Homes Are the Most Affordable Housing Option , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 131min
This essay sheds light on why RVs provide the best housing option for people who love to travel the world and elucidates the advantages and disadvantages of living in an RV. Moreover, why mobile homes are the most affordable and best housing option for non-travelers and the advantages and disadvantages germane to owning a mobile home are delineated in this essay. Furthermore, how to earn substantial money online so that you can afford to buy an RV or mobile home is expounded upon in this essay. For frequent travelers, the recreational vehicle provides the best housing option and is able to render traveling an affordable activity. This is because by traversing countries in an RV, you can circumvent paying the enormous premium prices that hotels and motels charge for lodging. This is because the RV conveniently provides you with access to lodging from anywhere. “Research has revealed that by traveling in a motorhome, a family can save as much as 78% of what they would otherwise spend on traditional travel. While the price of gas is usually high, it pales in comparison to paying for airfare, renting hotel rooms, always eating out, and renting cars when you get to your destination” (“Six Advantages of”, n.d.). RV owners keen on parking anywhere else other than in a RV park have been discovered to park “in the mountains, on the beach, and even in Wal-Mart parking lots” (“Six Advantages of”, n.d.). RVs provide the optimal housing option for people who love to travel. Unlike traveler trailers, RVs do not need to be towed behind a vehicle to be hauled around. Moreover, RVs are easier to maneuver around than traveler trailers, which are longer, heavier, and more conspicuous than RVs. Fortunately, in spite of their smaller size, RVs can provide nearly all amenities in one convenient place that can be found in a stick-built home or a manufactured home. RVs can be thought of as motor homes that can be driven almost anywhere. RVs are spacious vehicles and provid ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Darcey Kobs.
