    How to F*ck a Woman: An Insider's Guide to Love and Relationships , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 364min, (USK 18)
    Brazen, uproarious, slyly prescriptive, and always entertaining, Ali Adler is a sex and relationship guru who knows what women want. As a lesbian, she has both the equipment and the experience to give straight men (and the women who love them) advice about how to get more sex and do it well. In her day job as a comedy writer and TV producer, Ali is sometimes the only woman in a room full of fellow potty-mouthed comedy writers; in these bastions of bad sex jokes she became legendary for offering frank reality checks, and for translating female sexuality into words a man could understand. In her book How to F*ck a Woman - which turns out to be about 20 percent explicit instruction, 80 percent relationship advice, and 100 percent hilarious - she brings together essential advice for men (even the ones who insist they could write this book) and the women who want their lovers to truly understand them, both mind and body. ungekürzt.

    The Golden Slipper and Other Problems for Violet Strange , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
    The Golden Slipper and Other Problems for Violet Strange, by Anna Katherine Green. Narrated by Christianne Lupher.    Seventeen-year-old Violet Strange, a debutante in Gilded Age New York, could never be suspected of moonlighting as an operative at a hard-boiled detective agency. Petite, gabby, and dimpled - a darling of balls and teas - she charms all she meets, slyly gaining access to crime scenes and cleverly teasing out clues no one else perceives. But her prospects will be destroyed if her detective work comes to light, and her father, a financier with implacable ideas of propriety, is "quite capable of cutting her off with a shilling". Why would a society belle of such wealth and privilege risk all for this "uncongenial" pursuit? Anna Katherine Green, the mother of the detective novel, introduces the world to the first "girl detective" in this delightful collection of nine stories published in 1915. ungekürzt.

    The Kid Who Ran for President , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 155min
    Some kids want to be President when they grow up. Twelve-year-old Judson Moon wants to be President right now! "Grown-ups have had a thousand years to mess up the world," Judson explains. "Now it's our turn." But running for President is hard. You have to kiss a zillion babies and shake a zillion hands, and say a zillion 'hellos'." There's the tough decision about which girl in your school you should ask to be First Babe. Also, selling 80 million cups of lemonade is a slow way to finance a campaign. And there's an unfair constitutional provision against kids running for President that needs to be changed. Dan Gutman's entertaining account of Judson's quest for the White House slyly mixes lessons about U.S. history and government with a story full of unexpected twists. Scott Shina's hilarious narration will have listeners laughing as they hum "Hail to the Chief". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Shina.

    The Suburban You: Reports from the Home Front, Hörbuch, Digital, 278min
    Mark Falanga is a slick urban dweller, at the top of his game professionally, with a gorgeous corporate executive wife and a hip coterie in the coolest neighborhood in the city. But when baby makes three, Mark and his family enter the twilight zone called the suburbs, where public schools are good, many wives stay home, and children ride their tricycles in the driveway. Nothing is the same ever again. With the dry wit of David Sedaris, and Dave Barry's love of the absurd, Falanga details his new, suburban landscape from the point of view of a bewildered but gung-ho everyman. From the complex political pecking order in the neighborhood, with its ultracompetitive block parties and its consuming holiday-card rivalry, to the surprises lurking on every corner, such as the 12-year-old pyromaniac next door and the suspiciously broad-shouldered "lady" on the commuter train, The Suburban You describes in slyly understated prose the vicissitudes of life in the 'burbs.

    A gripping and timely novel that follows Sigrid - the dry-witted detective from Derek B. Miller's best-selling debut Norwegian by Night - from Oslo to the United States on a quest to find her missing brother. She knew it was a weird place.

But now police Chief Inspector Sigrid Ødegård has to leave her native Norway and actually go there - to that land across the Atlantic where her missing brother is implicated in the mysterious death of a prominent African-American academic. America. Sigrid is plunged into a United States where race and identity, politics and promise, reverberate in every aspect of daily life. Working with - or, if necessary, against - the police, she must negotiate the local political minefields and navigate the backwoods of the Adirondacks to uncover the truth before events escalate further. Refreshingly funny, slyly perceptive, American by Day secures Derek B. Miller's place as one of our most imaginative and entertaining novelists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Mangan.

    Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min
    I can imagine few more enjoyable ways of thinking than to read this book. —Sarah Bakewell, New York Times Book Review, front-page review Tackling the "darkest question in all of philosophy" with "raffish erudition" (Dwight Garner, The New York Times), author Jim Holt explores the greatest metaphysical mystery of all: why is there something rather than nothing? This runaway best seller, which has captured the imagination of critics and the public alike, traces our latest efforts to grasp the origins of the universe. Holt adopts the role of cosmological detective, traveling the globe to interview a host of celebrated scientists, philosophers, and writers, "testing the contentions of one against the theories of the other" (Jeremy Bernstein, Wall Street Journal). As he interrogates his list of ontological culprits, the brilliant yet slyly humorous Holt contends that we might have been too narrow in limiting our suspects to God versus the Big Bang. This "deft and consuming" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) narrative humanizes the profound questions of meaning and existence it confronts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Menasche.

    Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
    The Pulitzer Prize-winning author offers his first major work of nonfiction, an autobiographical narrative as inventive, beautiful, and powerful as his acclaimed, award-winning fiction. Manhood for Amateurs is the first sustained work of personal writing from Michael Chabon. In these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, one of our most brilliant and humane writers presents his autobiography and his vision of life in the way so many of us experience our own: as a series of reflections, regrets, and re-examinations, each sparked by an encounter, in the present, that holds some legacy of the past. What does it mean to be a man today? As a devoted son, as a passionate husband, and above all as a father, Chabon's memories of childhood, of his parents' marriage and divorce, of moments of painful adolescent comedy and giddy encounters with the popular art and literature of his own youth, are like a theme played by the mad quartet of which he now finds himself co-conductor. At once dazzling, hilarious, and moving, Manhood for Amateurs is destined to become a classic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Chabon.
