No Way But Gentlenesse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
Born and raised in the South Yorkshire mining village of Hoyland Common, it seemed all too likely that Richard Hines would end up working in the pits, especially when, unlike his older brother Barry, he failed the 11+. Crushed by this, and persecuted by the cruelty of his teachers, Richard spent his time in the fields. One morning, he came across a nest of kestrels. Instantly captivated, he sought out ancient falconry texts from the local library. With just these books and some ingenuity, Richard learned to 'man', or train, his kestrel, Kes, and in the process grow into the man he would become. Richard and his experiences with kestrels inspired Barry's classic novel A Kestrel for a Knave. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Keeble.

A Long Long Way , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
With acclaimed works like The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty, Irish author Sebastian Barry has earned a reputation as a "master storyteller" ( The Wall Street Journal). In A Long Long Way he has created an unforgettable portrait of the horrors of war through the story of Willie Dunne, a young man who leaves his native Dublin in 1914 to join the Allies on the Western Front. Caught between the catastrophic violence he encounters there and the growing political tension at home over Irish independence, Willie finds himself confronting unbearable choices regarding family, patriotism, and the devotion he feels toward his regiment. A deeply affecting portrayal of personal struggle and the consequences of war, this is one of Barry's most powerful accomplishments. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Cormack.

Jennifer Government , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min
The irreverent author of the cult classic Syrup hits his target in this satire on the wages of big capital. In Max Barry's hilarious vision of the near future, the world is run by giant American corporations, and employees take the last names of the companies they work for; The Police and The NRA are publicly traded security firms, and the U.S. government may only investigate crimes if they can bill a citizen directly. When lowly Merchandising Officer Hack Nike unwittingly signs a contract that involves shooting teenagers to build up street credibility for Nike's new line of $2,500 sneakers, he goes to The Police, only to be pursued by Jennifer Government, a tough-talking agent with a bar-code tattoo under her eye, the consumer watchdog from hell. ungekürzt.

The Suburban You: Reports from the Home Front , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
Mark Falanga is a slick urban dweller, at the top of his game professionally, with a gorgeous corporate executive wife and a hip coterie in the coolest neighborhood in the city. But when baby makes three, Mark and his family enter the twilight zone called the suburbs, where public schools are good, many wives stay home, and children ride their tricycles in the driveway. With the dry wit of David Sedaris and Dave Barry's love of the absurd, Falanga details his new, suburban landscape from the point of view of a bewildered but gung ho everyman. From the complex political pecking order in the neighborhood, with its ultracompetitive block parties and its consuming holiday-card rivalry, to the surprises lurking on every corner, such as the 12-year-old pyromaniac next door, The Suburban You describes in slyly understated prose the vicissitudes of life in the 'burbs. ungekürzt.

Car Talk, Dead Bugs and a Burnt T-Bird, June 7, 2014, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on Car Talk, Gary's mother-in-law is blaming him for her car catching fire after he worked on the carburetor. Can Tom and Ray get Gary off the hook, and, more importantly, get his mother-in-law out of his house? Elsewhere, Barry's noticing a plethora of dead bugs on his windshield, and thinks driving faster should reduce the casualty rate. Also, Denise may have bitten off more than she can chew by giving into her mid-life-crisis impulse buy of a vintage Volvo; Alan is considering a sitz bath to get his truck to start shifting; and Darlene can't decide which bubble-headed friend's advice to follow on filling her gas tank, so she's turning to two more bubble-heads.

Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
Did you ever wish that you really understood money? Well, Dave Barry wishes that he did, too. But that hasn't stopped him from writing a book about how to understand money. In it, Dave explores (as only he can) such topics as: How the U.S. economy works, including the often-overlooked role of Adam Sandler. Why it is not a good idea to use squirrels for money. Strategies that will give you the confidence you need to try for a good job, even though you are, let's be honest, a no-talent loser. Why corporate executives, simply by walking into their offices, immediately become much stupider. An absolutely foolproof system for making money in the stock market, requiring only a little effort (and access to time travel). Surefire tips for buying and selling real estate, the key one being: Never buy, or for that matter sell, real estate. How to minimize your federal taxes, safely and legally, by cheating. Why good colleges cost so much, and how to make sure your child does not get into one. How to reduce the cost of your medical care by basically not getting any. Estate planning, especially the often-overlooked financial benefits of early death.But that's only the beginning! Dave has also included in this book all of the important points in a book written by Donald Trump, so you don't have to read it yourself. Plus he explains how to tip; how to negotiate for everything, including bridge tolls; how to argue with your spouse about money; and how much allowance to give your children (three dollars is plenty). He also presents, for the first time in print anywhere, the Car Dealership Code of Ethics ("Ethic Seven: The customer is an idiot"). Also there are many gratuitous references to Angelina Jolie naked. You can't afford NOT to buy this book! Probably you need several. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/001065/bk_brll_001065_sample.mp3.
