Notes from an Even Smaller Island
Knowing nothing of Singapore in the 1990s, a young Englishman, Neil Humphreys, arrives in the land of air-conned shopping centres and Lee Kuan Yew. From the aunties in the hawker centres to expats dressed as bananas, from Singlish to kiasuism, and from Singaporeans at home to Singaporeans abroad, Humphreys explores all aspects of Singaporean life, taking in the sights, dissecting the culture and illuminating each place and person with his perceptive and witty observations. Written by someone who is at once both insider and outsider, the book is a wonderfully funny and disarmingly honest portrait of Singapore and its people.- Shop: buecher

Guns ‘N’ Rosè , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
Norton needed a holiday - anywhere - as long as it was out of Bondi. Price was only too willing to oblige - Les could have his house at Terrigal. All he had to do was look after George Brennan's nephew for a week while he was there. Sounded okay to Norton, and it was better than spending his own money. Jimmy Rosewater was young, cool and the original brown-eyed handsome man. He loved good wine, going to restaurants, going line-dancing, and the ladies loved him. This suited Les nicely. But, Jimmy was also supposed to be in jail. Before he knows it, Norton is fighting off the usual yobbos looking for trouble, sex-crazed feral aunties and getting shot at by feral bikies. That was during the quieter moments...and all the time Les has a feeling Jimmy's up to something... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dino Marnika.

Wolves & Roses: Fairy Tales of the Magicorum , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose has a problem. She is descended from one of the three magical races - shifters, fairies, or witches. That makes her one of the Magicorum, and Magicorum always follow a fairy tale life template. In the case of Bryar, that template should be Sleeping Beauty. Trouble is, Bryar is nowhere near the Sleeping Beauty life template. Not even close. She does not like birds or woodland creatures. She cannot sing a note. And she certainly cannot stand Prince Philpot, the so-called His Highness of Hedge Funds that her aunties want her to marry. Even worse, Bryar finds herself attracted to a hottie werewolf named Knox and is under attack by evil mummy-zombies. If Bryar cannot figure out who - or what - she really is, it might cost both her and Knox their lives...as well as jeopardize the very nature of magic itself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Sayers: Tried and Tested at the Highest Level , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
Coming from a huge close-knit family of street traders long before it was legalized, Stephen Sayers spent his early years on the barrows, witnessing constant brushes with the law. Aunties and uncles were frequently incarcerated and a hatred and distrust of authority swelled within the younger members of the family. The scene was set. Standing alongside his brothers and cousins in vicious street fights and feuds with rival gangs, they've been linked to multi-million pound armed robberies, extortion, unsolved gangland murders, and protection rackets. Those links made them a formidable force in the criminal underworld. Stephen gives us a first-hand account of growing up as a Sayers and living up to the reputation the name carries. He didn't just carve out a criminal career, he wrote it in blood on the streets. If you've heard the rumors...if you believe them...the Sayers run Newcastle. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Abstinence: Open Discussion Guide on Sexuality for Parents/Mentors and Young People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
Many people wrestle with the challenge of finding out the best way to discuss this important subject of abstinence and premarital sex with their young ones. In our society today where everybody is afraid of being wrong or hurting somebody’s feelings, this book offers an easy way to openly discuss this issue. Parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and mentors are encouraged to purchase this book for themselves and their young ones, and make out time for the discussion. If we fail to do this, then our young people will have no option than to learn from their peers, television, social media, or experiment. Most of these would be far from the standard that would enrich their lives and prepare them to navigate the world as an adult in the face of varying standards that destroy rather than build up. I would therefore encourage you to join this movement to build up the lives of our young people, uphold godly standard, and eradicate premarital sex in our society. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Good Enough Husband , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 552min
I should have told Ben about Michael. I should never have told Michael about Ben....One day, I was watching one of my aunties battle cancer. She was older, never married - alone. That day, I decided I never wanted to be like her. So I looked around. and there was Michael. He worked on Wall Street. He was available. Most of all, he was into me. I let him catch me, then I made the biggest mistake of my life: I married a guy I didn’t love. Maybe if I’d loved him, we’d have connected in bed and I wouldn’t have woken in the mornings feeling exploited. Maybe if I’d loved him, our infertility would have been manageable. But I didn’t love him, not like I should have. So I left. I needed to have some time alone to think. I never thought I’d meet someone. I never thought a guy like Ben would come into my life. But he did, and I want with him all the things I should have wanted with Michael. Ben is my future. Unfortunately, Michael won’t stay in my past.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael T.

The Case of the Missing Servant , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
Meet Vish Puri, India’s most private investigator. Portly, persistent and unmistakably Punjabi, he cuts a determined swathe through modern India’s swindlers, cheats and murderers. In hot and dusty Delhi, where call centres and malls are changing the ancient fabric of Indian life, Puri’s main work comes from screening prospective marriage partners, a job once the preserve of aunties and family priests. But when an honest public litigator is accused of murdering his maidservant, it takes all of Puri’s resources to investigate. How will he trace the fate of the girl, known only as Mary, in a population of more than one billion? Who is taking pot shots at him and his prize chilli plants? And why is his widowed ‘Mummy-ji’ attempting to play sleuth when everyone knows Mummies are not detectives? With his team of undercover operatives – Tubelight, Flush and Facecream – Puri ingeniously combines modern techniques with principles of detection established in India more than two thousand years ago -- long before ‘that Johnny-come-lately’ Sherlock Holmes donned his Deerstalker. The search for Mary takes him to the desert oasis of Jaipur and the remote mines of Jharkhand. From his well-heeled Gymkhana Club to the slums where the servant classes live, Puri’s adventures reveal modern India in all its seething complexity. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The world needs more great men! The production of more great men is best accomplished by other great men! History has proven that men take pride in standing on the shoulders of other great men that have gone on before them. We need more healthy role models in fatherhood, brotherhood, and manhood.
