    No Time to Spare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
    From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, and with an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, a collection of thoughts - always adroit, often acerbic - on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le Guin has taken listeners to imaginary worlds for decades. Now she's in the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where her voice - sharp, witty, as compassionate as it is critical - shines. No Time to Spare collects the best of Ursula's blog, presenting perfectly crystallized dispatches on what matters to her now, her concerns with this world, and her wonder at it. On the absurdity of denying your age, she says, "If I'm 90 and believe I'm 45, I'm headed for a very bad time trying to get out of the bathtub." On cultural perceptions of fantasy: "The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is 'escapism' an accusation of?" On her new cat: "He still won't sit on a lap. I don't know if he ever will. He just doesn't accept the lap hypothesis." On breakfast: "Eating an egg from the shell takes not only practice, but resolution, even courage, possibly willingness to commit crime." And on all that is unknown, all that we discover as we muddle through life: "How rich we are in knowledge, and in all that lies around us yet to learn. Billionaires, all of us." ungekürzt.

    Clean House: Exposing Our Government's Secrets and Lies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min
    From the New York Times best-selling author of The Corruption Chronicles comes a devastating exposé of the scandals of Obama's second term. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton reveals what the largest watchdog agency in America has uncovered in its battles against Obama's secrecy. Clean House takes us through incriminating documents from the attack in Benghazi, Hillary Clinton's secret emails, the IRS scandal, and the Obamacare swindle. As the president of Judicial Watch, America's largest nonpartisan government watchdog, Tom Fitton has investigated the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations. Judicial Watch is the group that helped impeach Bill Clinton and took the Bush White House secrecy all the way up to the Supreme Court. Since the beginning of the Obama administration, this grassroots group has filed over 700 open-records demands and dozens of lawsuits, including a successful fight over the secret Obama White House visitor logs. Americans are rightly worried they are losing their country. How did five congressional committees miss the smoking gun on Benghazi? How did Hillary Clinton keep a secret email server quiet for years? Does the IRS audit you because of your politics? Did the first American target of Obama's drone program work for the US government? How did Congress commit fraud to get Obamacare taxpayer subsidies? In Clean House Tom Fitton answers these questions and provides shocking evidence of the corruption endemic to the Obama White House. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne.

    True Crime Stories: Monsters and Criminals from the Last 250 Years: Sickly Serial Killers from the Past , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    How are serial killers made? Perhaps if someone could answer this question, then the police and the community would be able to prevent people from killing in the first place. As it is, this question remains unanswered, though many different hypotheses are put forward by the experts.Until a method for preventing crimes before they are committed is developed, then all the authorities can do is be reactive in the case of serial killers. This is of course exactly what plays into the hands of those who commit such heinous crimes. Being a concerned citizen, though, is certainly a weapon we can all employ in the fight against serial killers.In this audiobook, you will discover seven killers who stopped at nothing to feel invincible. From those who had problems in their childhood to those who had a loving parent; from those who had a certain incident set them off to those who did it to see if they could get away with it - not all serial killers can be pigeonholed for law enforcement officials, unfortunately. Here is a preview of what you'll learn:"The Legacy of Being Bad""Her Boyfriend, Her Killer""Behind Hartford Road""The Psycho Banker""His Day of Retribution""Colin's Life""The Unpredictable Sean"Much, much more!Get this audiobook today!If you've always found stories of true crime, serial killers, and mysterious murderers interesting, then get this audiobook now!  ungekürzt.

    Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
    The best-selling novelist and memoirist delivers her most intimate and powerful work: a piercing, life-affirming memoir about marriage and memory, about the frailty and elasticity of our most essential bonds, and about the accretion, over time, of both sorrow and love. Hourglass is an inquiry into how marriage is transformed by time - abraded, strengthened, shaped in miraculous and sometimes terrifying ways by accident and experience. With courage and relentless honesty, Dani Shapiro opens the door to her house, her marriage, and her heart and invites us to witness her own marital reckoning - a reckoning in which she confronts both the life she dreamed of and the life she made and struggles to reconcile the girl she was with the woman she has become. What are the forces that shape our most elemental bonds? How do we make lifelong commitments in the face of identities that are continuously shifting and commit ourselves for all time when the self is so often in flux? What happens to love in the face of the unexpected, in the face of disappointment and compromise - how do we wrest beauty from imperfection, find grace in the ordinary, desire what we have rather than what we lack? Drawing on literature, poetry, philosophy, and theology, Shapiro writes gloriously of the joys and challenges of matrimonial life, in a luminous narrative that unfurls with urgent immediacy and sharp intelligence. Artful, intensely emotional work from one of our finest writers.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dani Shapiro.

    The Spook Lights Affair: A Carpenter and Quincannon Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
    A debutante's missing body, murder most foul, and weird spectrallights in the fog make for a thrilling gas light-era tale of mystery and detection. In 1895 San Francisco young debutantes don't commit suicide at festive parties, particularly not under the eye of Sabina Carpenter. But Virginia St. Ives evidently did, leaping from a foggy parapet in a shimmer of ghostly light. The seemingly impossible disappearance of her body creates an even more serious problem for the firm of Carpenter and Quincannon, Professional Detective Services. Sabina didn't want to take the case, but her partner John Quincannon insisted it would serve as entrée to the city's ultra rich and powerful. That means money, and Quincannon loves the almighty dollar - which is why he is hunting the bandit who robbed the Wells Fargo office of $35,000. Working their separate cases - while Sabina holds Johnoff with one light hand - the detectives give readers a tour of the city the way it was. From the infamous Barbary Coast to the expensive tenderloin gaming houses and brothels frequented by wealthy men, Quincannon follows a danger-laden trail to unmask the murderous perpetrators of the robbery. Meanwhile, Sabina works her wiles on friends and relatives of the vanished debutante until the pieces of her puzzle start falling into place. But it's an oddly disguised gent appearing out of nowhere who provides the final clue to both cases - the shrewd "crackbrain" who believes himself to be Sherlock Holmes. ungekürzt. Language: English.
