Abraham - Bruce Feiler - audio book

''Exquisitely written... 100 percent engaging. " —Boston Globe

At a moment when the world is asking ''Can the religions get along?" Abraham stands as the shared ancestor of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. He holds the key to our deepest fears—and our possible reconciliation.

Bruce Feiler set out on a personal quest to better understand our common patriarch. Traveling in war zones, climbing though caves and ancient shrines, and sitting down with the world's leading religious minds, Feiler discovers the untold story of the man who defines faith for half the world.

Both immediate and timeless, Abraham is a powerful, universal story, the first ever interfaith
portrait of the man God chose to be his partner. Thoughtful, perceptive, and inspiring in a
way that has endeared Bruce Feiler to readers around the world, Abraham offers a rare vision of hope that will redefine what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves.

Bruce Feiler is the New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including Walking the Bible and Where God Was Born. He is also the writer/presenter of the PBS series Walking the Bible, a frequent contributor to NPR, and a contributing editor at Gourmet and Parade.

The phenomenon of Abraham!

John Mignano from Warburton - 12 May 2007

I found it interesting how 3 religions have developed views of Abraham that are opposing, even though it's based on the same historical data. Usually it's easier to focus only on race, gender and sexual issues, rarely do we talk about diversity of religion. This audiobook explores Abraham as an important figure in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, so people of all major world religions could find something to take away in his/her life's meaning as important to their beliefs.

The CEO of the Sofa - P.J. O'Rourke

The CEO of the Sofa -audio book - P.J. O'Rourke

New York Times bestselling author P.J. O'Rourke has toured the fighting in Bosnia, visited the West Bank disguised as P.J. of Arabia, lobbed one-liners on the battlefields of the Gulf War, and traded quips with Communist rebels in the jungles of the Philippines. Now in The CEO of the Sofa, he embarks on a mission to the most frightening place of all - his own home. Ensconced on the domestic boardroom's throne (although not supposed to put his feet on the cushions), he faces a three-year-old who wants a cell phone, a freelance career devoted to writing articles like "Chewing-Mouth Dogs Bring Hope to People with Eating Disorders," and neighbors who smell like Democrats ("That is, using smell as a transitive verb. When I light a cigar they wave their hands in front of their faces and pretend to cough."). Undaunted - with the help of martinis - by middle age, P.J. holds forth on everything from getting toddlers to sleep ("Advice to parents whose kids love the story of the dinosaurs: Don't give away the surprise ending") to why Hillary Clinton's election victory was a good thing ("We Republicans were almost out of people to hate in the Senate. Teddy Kennedy is just too old and fat to pick on").

And P.J. leaps (well, groans and pushes himself up) from the couch to pursue assignments such as a high-speed drive across the ugliest part of India at the hottest time of the year, a blind (drunk) wine tasting with Christopher Buckley, and a sojourn at the U.N. Millennial Summit, where he runs the risk of perishing from boredom and puts readers in peril of laughing themselves to death.

The Mile High Club - Kinky Friedman

The Mile High Club- audio book - Kinky Friedman

On a flight from Dallas to New York, a private detective meets a gorgeous and enigmatic woman who resists all his attempts to plumb her depths. When the plane lands, the detective - our hero, Kinky Friedman - finds that he's still holding the woman's bright pink suitcase, which she asked him to watch, but the beautiful passenger has disappeared. Confident that he'll find the mystery woman again, Kinky holds on to the bag. Sure enough, she does turn up, but not before Kinky has excited the interest of an array of "suits" from the State Department, been party to a thwarted kidnapping attempt by Arab terrorists, and found a dead Israeli agent parked on the toilet of his downtown Manhattan loft.

Employing the able-bodied assistance of his usual sidekicks, the Village Irregulars, Kinky attempts to discover the secrets behind the many visitors to his loft, who include the suddenly affectionate woman from the plane and her very angry brother.

No other writer combines intriguing mystery with bawdy one-liners quite like Kinky Friedman. Raunchy, offbeat, and hilarious, The Mile High Club, complete with a surprise ending, is Kinky at his considerable best.

Bitten audio book - Kelley Armstrong

Bitten - audio book - Kelley Armstrong

I've got to get out of here - I don't have a lot of time left.
Philip doesn't stir when I slip from the bed. There's a pile of clothing tucked underneath my dresser so I won't have to risk the squeaks and groans of opening drawers and closets. I pick up my keys, clasping my fist around them so they don't jangle, ease open the door and creep into the hallway. My legs now itch as well as hurt and I curl my toes to see if the itching stops. It doesn't. It's too late to drive to a safe place now-the itching has crystallized into a sharp burn. I stride out onto the streets, looking for a quiet place to Change.

Young, beautiful, and successful, Elena Michaels seems to have it all. Her happy, organized life follows a predictable pattern: filing stories for her job as a journalist, working out at the gym, living with her architect boyfriend, and lunching with her girlfriends from the office. And once a week, in the dead of night, she streaks through a downtown ravine, naked and furred, tearing at the throats of her animal prey.

Elena Michaels is a werewolf.

The man who made her one has been left behind, but his dark legacy has not. And though Elena struggles to maintain the normal life she's worked so hard to create, she cannot resist the call of the elite pack of werewolves from her past. Her feral instincts will lead her back to them and into a desperate war for survival that will test her own understanding of who, and what, she is.
