Planet Lazy: A Science Fiction Comedy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min

What is Planet Lazy? None of the scientists have heard of it, and there's no record of it ever existing. Yet people swear that they've been there. One day, they vanished from Earth and wound up in a place where everything they'd ever wanted came on a silver platter, and there was no urgency to do anything, you know, productive. Join the fat, socially awkward, will-probably-die-a-virgin Karturian as he navigates our strange universe of anorexic giants, diplomatic zombies, talking cats, a whole planet of women who have never seen a man before, and much, much more on his voyage to the mythical Planet Lazy. What is the answer to 7 + 7 ÷ 7 + 7 x 7 - 7 = ? How do you hide cigarette smoke from your parents? Does Cheese Whiz go better with pancakes or waffles? What are cats REALLY thinking? How do you become a quadrillionaire by cutting your work in half and using Facebook likes? What do you do if you're out in space and really have to use the bathroom? ...just a few of life's more pertinent questions that Karturian hopes to answer on his journey. Hilarious, surreal, unpredictable, fun, and strangely moving at times, this social satire is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Kilgore Trout and Venus on the Half-Shell. Planet Lazy throws modern-day issues and news topics into a comedic food processor and spits them out into a scrumptious sci-fi pate. The topics include eating disorders, low birthrate, cell cryopreservation, patriarchal and matriarchal societies, intercultural relationships, global warming, unethical technological and medical advancements, volunteering in impoverished nations, free-range farming, the robot apocalypse, lazy entrepreneurship, and everyone's obsession with cats! ungekürzt.

This Body's Not Big Enough for Both of Us: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min

Joss Whedon...can't possibly write All The Things That Are Kind of Like This. So hallelujah that Edgar Cantero - a Barcelona native whose first language is Spanish, but who spits pop-culture in English like the savviest geek in, say, Sheboygan posting on Tumblr - is writing some of them. (The Austin Chronicle)From the New York Times best-selling author of Meddling Kids comes a mind-blowing, gender-bending, genre-smashing romp through the entire pantheon of action and noir. It is also a bold, tautly crafted novel about family, being weird, and claiming your place in your own crazy story.In a dingy office in Fisherman's Wharf, the glass panel in the door bears the names of A. Kimrean and Z. Kimrean. Private Eyes. Behind the door there is only one desk, one chair, one scrawny androgynous P.I. in a tank top and skimpy waistcoat. A.Z., as they are collectively known, are twin brother and sister. He's pure misanthropic logic, she's wild hedonistic creativity. The Kimreans have been locked in mortal battle since they were in utero...which is tricky because they, very literally, share one single body. That's right. One body, two pilots. The mystery and absurdity of how Kimrean functions, and how they subvert every plotline, twist, explosion, and gunshot - and confuse every cop, neckless thug, cartel boss, ninja, and femme fatale - in the book is pure Cantero magic.Someone is murdering the sons of the ruthless drug cartel boss known as the Lyon in the biggest baddest town in California - San Carnal. The notorious A.Z. Kimrean must go to the sin-soaked, palm-tree-lined streets of San Carnal, infiltrate the Lyon's inner circle, and find out who is targeting his heirs, and while they are at it, rescue an undercover cop in too deep, deal with a plucky young stowaway, and stop a major gang war from engulfing California. They'll face every plot device and ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: January LaVoy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/006298/bk_rand_006298_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Und es schmilzt

Ein Roman, der alles gibt und alles verlangtMit einem Eisblock im Kofferraum fährt Eva in ihr Heimatdorf. Jahrelang ist sie nicht dort gewesen. Und sie hat nie zurückgeblickt - bis eine Einladung ihrer beiden ältesten Freunde alles wieder hochspült. Die Schubkarre, in der sie den Hauptpreis, einen Farbfernseher, und ihre betrunkene Mutter vom Gemeindequiz nachhause karren musste; die Schlinge, die der Vater ihr im Schuppen zeigte; den Sommer, in dem Evas Freunde zu ihren dunkelsten Dämonen wurden; den Sommer, den Eva seit jeher zu vergessen versucht. Damals war sie machtlos. Diesmal wird sie sich Gehör verschaffen. Und das wird so schnell keiner vergessen.Lize Spit wurde mit »Und es schmilzt« zum literarischen Shootingstar.

The Best of Me

What could be a more tempting Christmas gift than a compendium of David Sedaris's best stories, selected by the author himself? From a spectacular career spanning almost three decades, these stories have become modern classics and are now for the first time collected in one volume. For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler's lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say 'give it to me' in five languages and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. But if all you expect to find in Sedaris's work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery, more fellow-feeling than derision. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. In these pages, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms - at long last - with the other. Taken together, the stories in The Best of Me reveal the wonder and delight Sedaris takes in the surprises life brings him. No experience, he sees, is quite as he expected - it's often harder, more fraught and certainly weirder - but sometimes it is also much richer and more wonderful. Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led David Sedaris to be called 'the funniest man alive' (Time Out New York), The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing - quite often at himself - and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time.
