  Tales from the Strip , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 548min, (USK 18)

  My name is Andy, and I'm a male stripper. Throughout the years, I guesstimate to have performed at over 600 shows. That includes male revues, bachelorette parties, stripograms, private one-on-ones, office visits, just about any event that your mind can conjure up. Some of these tales are insane; some even seem unbelievable at times. While writing this memoir, more than once, I'd sit back and take a break, wondering, "Did that really happen?" When I embarked upon the task of writing out all these adventures, it was difficult for me to rack through my brain and recall details that I believed, at one point, would never erase from my memory. While it does sound tempting to add a little sugar and spice to an already juicy tale, I’m old school in the sense that, to me, nothing tastes better than the real thing. For my selfish reasons alone, I needed to compose these stories as accurately as possible, as the "wow" factor never trumps authenticity in my book. Without further ado, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. These, dear friends, are my Tales from the Strip.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Espinoza Long. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/150178/bk_acx0_150178_sample.mp3.

  The Skeptical Yogi: Yogananda's Autobiography Under a Microscope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 360min

  I first read Yogananda’s justly famous Autobiography of a Yogi when I was just 11 years old. In those days (circa 1967), I was a great fan of baseball, particularly the Dodgers, and when I first spotted the book at my local North Hollywood Public library, I thought it must be about Yogi Berra, the famous catcher for the New York Yankees, so I naturally picked it up for a closer reading. However, after I got home I soon realized my mistake. It was rather about an Indian mystic who had come to America in 1920 to share his views on spirituality and what he had learned from his associations with various saints and sages, particularly his own guru Sri Yukteswar of Serampore.I devoured the book in slow chunks and loved every chapter of it since it opened up a hitherto unknown world to me. Since I was raised Roman Catholic and attended St. Charles elementary school, we were not taught about other religions. Learning about Hinduism and its various practices was like opening a window on a windy Santa Ana day in December. It was both refreshing and invigorating. Yogananda’s tome transported me to another time and place and forever changed my philosophical outlook on all things religious.I guesstimate that I have reread Autobiography of a Yogi over 50 or so times, such was my fondness for its enchanting and beguiling stories of meeting the perfume yogi, the saint with two bodies, and the tiger tamer, and more. The book has gone through many editions since its first printing in 1946 and today is widely available worldwide and has been translated into over 50 languages.Steve Jobs was so taken by Yogananda’s book that he made sure that everyone attending his funeral in 2011 received a copy of it in a special brown box. Job’s biographer, Walter Isaacson, recounts that the founder of Apple had the digital version of the book downloaded on his iPad and read it at least once a year.However, as much I dearly loved reading Autobiography ungekürzt.
