    “Maybe you have to get more panties, honey.” She frowned at him. “More panties? But I already have enough of those. Why do I need more?” “Because from now on I want to wear your panties when I go to work every morning.” “Every morning?” “Yes, Laura. Every morning, I want to wear the panties you used the previous day.” She gaped at him. “The ones I have used?” “Yes, dear. So that means you don’t wash them until I have worn them too and returned from work. Okay?” She nodded. “Okay, dear. I understand.” “I love you,” he kissed her and left. As he drove off, Laura smiled to herself. She was glad that he had agreed to do her bidding.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Daisy Miller is one of Henry James' shorter and earlier novels. It was written in 1878. It portrays the confused courtship of a headstrong American girl by Winterbourne, a compatriot of hers who is much more sophisticated. His pursuit of her is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates they meet in Switzerland and Italy. Her lack of understanding regarding social mores of the society she so desperately wishes to enter ultimately leads to a very unexpected ending. In addition to being a very good story, the novel serves as both a psychological description of the mind of a young woman and an analysis of the traditional views of a society to a clear outsider. This continues to be one of James's most popular works. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Killavey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/jimc/000224/bk_jimc_000224_sample.mp3.

    As a lifelong eater, Blount always got along easily with food - he didn't have to think, he just ate. But food doesn't exist in a vacuum; there's the global climate and the global economy to consider, not to mention Blount's chronic sinusitis, which constricts his sense of smell and, consequently, his taste buds. So while he's always frowned on eating with an ulterior motive, times have changed. Save Room for Pie grapples with these and other food-related questions in Blount's signature style. Here you'll find lively meditations on everything from bacon froth to grapefruit, kobe beef to biscuits. You'll also find defenses of gizzards, mullet, okra, cane syrup, watermelon, and boiled peanuts; an imagined dialogue between Adam and Eve in the Garden; words and stories from Robert E. Lee, Louis Armstrong, and Frederick Douglass; and, of course, some shampooed possums and carjacking turkeys. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roy Blount, Jr..

    Good work, Balancer. I frowned at the title. "All I did was transport her here, Raile." "Yes, so you did," he agreed in a tone that clearly didn’t agree with me at all. "Perhaps you don’t consciously realize this, Garth, but its little things like this that are restoring balance to Chahir. No task can be done in just one stroke of effort; it takes many strokes, and much sustained effort." He’s right. I started reviewing all of the things I had done over the past two years, memories flicking through my head almost too fast to follow. Each choice led to another; my choice to leave my home in Tobadorage and seek refuge in Hain led directly to my actions now, bringing a Queen into exile. And each choice, each action on my part, had started the chain reaction that was bringing magic back into Chahir. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark McClain Wilson.
