Car Talk, A Cavalcade of Cheapskates, June 4, 2011, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on Car Talk, everyone wants to be a shade tree mechanic. First, Andrew in South Carolina is wondering if a degree in Nuclear Engineering qualifies him to change the clutch on his Ford Escort, then Susan wants to know if her husband can fix the collapsing headliner in their Olds Cutlass. His qualifications? He's not just a cheapskate, he's a tall cheapskate. And, Lydia is looking for a car she can fix herself during a cross-country road trip inspired by Thelma & Louise, without the killing. Also, from the "Doesn't anyone screen these calls" department, Christina's Land Cruiser's doors are unlocking themselves on left turns, and Matt wants to know why a cold soda would melt leather seats. All this, plus the debut Puzzler from the "Semi-Putrid" series, and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: June 4, 2011] Language: English.

My Planet: Finding Humor in the Oddest Places , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
Follow New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach - but be careful not to trip - as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eye. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as the column "My Planet," detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Did we mention neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, humor is hidden in the most unlikely places, which means that nothing is off limits. Whether she is dwelling on her age or talking about the pros and cons of a bedroom night light - "A married couple can best be defined as a unit of people whose sleep habits are carefully engineered to keep each other awake" - Roach finds a lesson, a slice of sarcasm, or a dash of something special that makes each day comical and absolutely priceless. In keeping with our mission - curating the best listens in the land - Reader's Digest editors neatly packaged these timeless (and hilarious) Roach essays together for the first time. ungekürzt.

Boiled: A Facile Restaurant Short Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min, (USK 18)
Boiled is the next installment of 10 erotic romance short stories by Jacey Conrad and Gia Corona. The series focuses on the love lives of members of the Facile restaurant staff, each story centering around a different couple. All Jason Parker wanted to do was throw a nice anniversary dinner for his parents at Facile, just one nice dinner that his parents didn't end up planning, cooking, or funding. It's too bad that his family seems hell-bent on ruining it. Between his older brother stealing credit for the planning, his uncle stealing the silverware, and his sister' stealing everyone's joy, it's enough to send Jason running for the comfort of Facile's bourbon supply. The only thing keeping him sane in this quagmire of dysfunction is the table's waitress, Gen Ferrar, who is handling his family circus like a ringmaster. Short, sassy, and shrewd, Gen knows how to handle all sorts of problem diners - the cheapskates, the grabby drunks, the bitter pills. She's just never had so many of those types at one table. Watching Jason, a genuinely nice guy just trying to do something considerate, putting up with 10 kinds of rudeness from his relatives makes her even more determined to make this dinner perfect. She will do whatever it takes, even if it means providing a very special brand of stress relief when his temper threatens to boil over. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Ronconi.

Rules for Virgins: Wherein Magic Gourd Advises Young Violet on How to Become a Popular Courtesan While Avoiding Cheapskates, False Love, and Suicide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min
In her startlingly sensual story Rules for Virgins, beloved best-selling author Amy Tan (The Joy Luck Club, The Bonesetter’s Daughter) takes us deep into the illicit world of 1912 Shanghai, where beautiful courtesans mercilessly compete for the patronage of wealthy gentlemen. For the women, the contest is deadly serious, a perilous game of economic survival that, if played well, can set them up for life as mistresses of the rich and prominent. There is no room for error, however: Erotic power is hard to achieve and harder to maintain, especially in the loftiest social circles. Enter veteran seducer, Magic Gourd, formerly one of Shanghai’s “Top Ten Beauties” and now the advisor and attendant of Violet, an aspiring but inexperienced courtesan. Violet may have the youth and the allure, but Magic Gourd has the cunning and the knowledge without which the younger woman is sure to fail. These ancient tricks of the trade aren’t written down, though; to pass them on to her student, Magic Gourd must reach back into her own professional past, bringing her lessons alive with stories and anecdotes from a career spent charming and manipulating men who should have known better but rarely did. The world of sexual intrigue that Tan reveals in Rules for Virgins actually existed once, and she spares no detail in recreating it. But this story is more than intriguing (and sometimes shocking) historical literary fiction. Besides inviting us inside a life that few writers but Tan could conjure up, the intimate confessions of Magic Gourd add up to a kind of military manual for the War of the Sexes’ female combatants. The wisdom conveyed is ancient, specific, and timeless, exposing the workings of vanity and folly, calculation and desire that define the mysterious human heart. ungekürzt. Language: English.
