Silly Woman, Big Rigs Are for Men: Third Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min

Here's an eye-opening look at the world of truck driving from the driver's seat. This audiobook allows you to experience the reality of what it's like to drive one of those smoke-belching monstrous 18-wheelers while sitting safely in your recliner. Mary Ellen doesn't realize in her quest for financial stability that she's stepping out of the box and squarely into the all-male bastion of trucking. Still, our female protagonist finds the strength to come out of every situation ready to face the next challenge. Her experiences include navigating endless unfamiliar cities, prior to GPS and cell phones, to backing her tractor-trailer into places she's sure a car wouldn't fit. But she overcomes it all. The author takes you behind the wheel with her as you are swept from one adventure to the next, such as driving through a raging Wyoming blizzard to making deliveries at the infamous Hunts Point Market in New York City, where, for the first time, she considers carrying a gun. She shows the listener how this job is much more than just driving; it's a lifestyle. This is a story you'll find hard to pause. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Catherine Edwards.

Truckers: True Gay Erotica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min, (USK 18)

Hard-driving truckers climb out of their big rigs and get down to business in this raw, lusty collection. Truckers have long been ingrained in the American popular imagination, celebrated in movies like Smokey and the Bandit and many a country-western ballad. They're also a favorite queer sexual icon, joining such types as sailors, cops, firemen, and other guys who "service society". For some gay men, life on the road conjures up images of hairy, sweaty, blue-collar joes traveling from town to town in their big 18-wheelers, pulling into all-night diners, gas stations, cheap motels, and highway rest stops for food, rest, companionship - and sex. These erotic encounters are the subject of this collection of trucker tales. Editor Johnny Hansen has assembled 19 true stories of men who deliver much more than what's back in the trailer. In one story, a four-way pileup in a highway men's room gives new meaning to the word "convoy". In another, a 19-year-old experiences first love - and lust - on a cross-country tour with a strapping Mack driver. In this one-of-a-kind collection, "good buddies" from across the U.S. reveal their hottest experiences on - and on the side of - the road. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Darren Douglas.

Zombie Road: Convoy of Carnage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min

The people that killed the world were fiendishly clever. After decades of planning, the contagion was unleashed, and overnight hundreds of millions died and came back as rampaging, undead monsters. The living that had been lucky enough to survive the first day of carnage, lucky enough to be in the right place, and lucky enough that some of them had the skills to survive soon found out there was much more to worry about than just zombies. In the high desert on the outskirts of Reno, there is an old truck stop frequented by a mix of hard caliber truckers, day tourists, musicians, and travelers. They have survived the chaotic first hours of contact with the undead and now must make their way across the country to a location they believe is safe. Zombies are only the beginning of their troubles as they try to cover the thousands of miles of open road with their hastily armored 18-wheelers. Gunny, a long haul trucker doing one of the few jobs available to him as a disgraced soldier, is unwillingly saddled with the job of getting these survivors to the safe zone. With a motley crew of truck drivers, college kids, veterans, a drug dealer, and a rock star, they are racing the clock to make it before time runs out. The last text he had received from his wife before the cell towers went down told him she was trapped in a high-rise in downtown Atlanta and their son was in detention, stranded in the basement of the school he attended. Gunny just wanted to drop the hammer, steal some guns, and blast his way in to rescue them, but duty called. He had to get these people to safety first, then he could recruit the best of this crew to help him save his family. If they survived the journey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric A.

Dave Hill Doesn't Live Here Anymore , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min

With his signature matter-of-fact humor, comedian and musician Dave Hill explores his increasingly close relationship with his recently widowed father in a series of painfully funny essays you will want to listen to again and again by the fire, at the beach, in a truck stop men's room, or just about anywhere. It's your call, really. These days Dave has just the right amount of spare time to write books at home, preferably in his underwear, but things weren't always perfect. When he found himself pushing 30 while still living with his parents in Cleveland, unsuited for anything but what an "employment expert" vaguely called a career in "art, music, writing, or entertainment", he decided to visit some friends in New York for the weekend and never left. However, getting his life together wasn't as easy as he'd hoped, and even an illegally subletted, rent controlled fifth-floor walk-up studio apartment with a (for the most part) working toilet wasn't glamorous enough to erase the fact that his four siblings were all married with steady jobs and actual human offspring. And in recent years, Dave's father had grown tired of loaning him cash and living alone in the empty family home, neither of which made much sense to Dave, but whatever. Through the process of his father's eventual move to a retirement community, Dave and his dad bonded over the things in life that really matter: scorching-hot rock jams, the gluten allergy craze, 18-wheelers, Italian food (pizza and spaghetti), and whatever else could possibly be left after that. Meanwhile, Dave discovered his late-blooming manhood via experiences as disparate and dangerous as a visit to a remote Mexican prison, where he learned that people everywhere love the Eagles, and a martial arts class that pushed his resolve and his groin to their limits. In Dave Hill Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Hill's voice is sharp, carefree, and laced with just the right amount of profanity, and he is - ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Hill.
