    Capital Punishment: An Indictment by a Death-Row Survivor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
    Billy Wayne Sinclair was only 21 when he heard the Louisiana judge pronounce these words: "I hereby sentence you to death in the electric chair." It was the culmination of a botched holdup committed the year before in which Billy had accidentally shot and killed a man. Billy spent the next 40 years in Angola Prison - one of the country’s worst - six of those years on death row. When in 1972 the Supreme Court struck down the death penalty as arbitrary and capricious, Billy was re-sentenced to life without parole. Finally released in 2006, he now examines the death penalty in great detail, from ancient history - an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth - to the present. Informed by his own experience and his decades-long studies, this book offers important information about, and insights into, a subject that is as heated and controversial today as it ever was. ungekürzt.

    I, Strahd: The Memoirs of a Vampire: Ravenloft: Strahd, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history. He turned to the first page and read: I, Strahd, Lord of Barovia, well aware certain events of my reign have been desperately misunderstood by those who are better at garbling history than recording it, hereby set down an exact record of those events, that the truth may at last be known.... He caught his breath. By all the good gods, a personal journal? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Boehmer.

    Evolution Can't be True Because I Don't Like Bananas: My Ponderings on Mr. Darwin's Flawed Theory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    Here again, I will be gracing another major subject with my irreproachable wisdom and my brain-flipping intelligence, in this audiobook. I doubt that there is a single evolutionist who can match wits with me because I am a student of life and of nature. My own self-administered studies are far greater than those that can be offered by universities and schools (not to degrade the importance of them for most people) or by attaining educational degrees and credentials (also very important for the right people). I need none of these things personally because I have already attained an education on my own, that far exceeds those that would provide me an officially-recognized expertize on any of the subjects I address. No, it is rather my own students - those who follow my written dissertations and teachings, who supply me with the credentials of an expert. Now here we go, into those golden gates of my chapters, which will forever change your brain for the better. You will in fact become 'brain-flipped,' so brace yourself and delve into my words of infallible wisdom! I hereby grant you permission to proceed! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Heart Broken , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 348min
    How much grief can a heart bear before being tested to the ultimate limit? The war is over, Sanderson is home, and life is good… until the Army comes knocking. They have charged Sanderson with murder and sentenced him to “hang by the neck until dead” - unless he can track down and bring to justice the notorious outlaw William Quantrill. With Sanderson gone, Charlotte is left to endure a complicated pregnancy and battle a rash of hydrophobia that threatens Cotton, Achilles, and the entire the countryside - Sanderson included. “Captain Sanderson Redding?” An Army officer in blue stepped forward, a scroll in his hands. “Good morning, gentlemen. How can I help you?” Sanderson's voice was cool and ever polite, but his grip tightened on her hand. Charlotte tried to count the soldiers, but more kept appearing from the woods. “Captain Redding, on behalf of the United States of America, I hereby charge you with the murder of Lieutenant Robbinson Lantz.” Sanderson's eyes widened. “Also got a list of other lesser crimes, but they don't really matter since you gonna hang for murder anyway.” ungekürzt.

    Dewitched (Witchless in Seattle Mysteries, #3) (eBook, ePUB)
    I, ex-witch Stevie Cartwright, do hereby solemnly swear to avoid future murder-mystery shenanigans, nosiness, tomfoolery, and any further crazy killer inflicted pain to my person, so help me goddess… Hah! Like I could help myself? But after busting my butt (literally!) on the last murder case in my beloved hometown of Ebenezer Falls, WA, I could use a nice long break. I was determined to take the time to enjoy the company of my bat familiar, Belfry; my British ex-spy ghost, Win; our adorable St. Bernard rescue, Whiskey; and of course our gorgeous home, Mayhem Manor, freshly and lovingly renovated. Until shazam-a dead man invites himself to our fancy housewarming party! When my mother's husband number five ends up deep-sixed in my parlor, it's not like I can't NOT try to solve this mystery, right? Especially if I ever want Mom to leave so I can get back to my semi-peaceful existence. But our work is definitely cut out for us this time. With Belfry's rascally bat family visiting and the two hundred or so guests, acrobats, mimes, cooks, catering staff, orchestra members-and a surprise guest who throws me for a loop in the house-suspects sure aren't a problem. Looks like it's time for another spirit-filled, witchless adventure in Ebenezer Falls!

    The Adventures of Cancer Bitch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
    Wisenberg may have lost a breast, but she retained her humor, outrage, and skepticism toward common wisdom and most institutions. While following the prescribed protocols at the place she called Fancy Hospital, Wisenberg is unsparing in her descriptions of the fumblings of new doctors, her own awkward announcement to her students, and the mounds of unrecyclable plastic left at a survivors' walk. Combining the personal with the political, she shares her research on the money spent on pink ribbons instead of preventing pollution, and the disparity in medical care between the insured and the uninsured. When chemotherapy made her bald, she decorated her head with henna swirls in front and an antiwar protest in back. During treatment, she also recorded the dailiness of life in Chicago as she rode the L, taught while one-breasted, and attended High Holiday services and a Passover seder. Wisenberg's writing has been compared to a mix of Leon Wieseltier and Fran Lebowitz, and in this book, she has Wieseltier's erudition and Lebowitz's self-deprecating cleverness: "If anybody ever offers you the choice between suffering and depression, take the suffering. And I don't mean physical suffering. I mean emotional suffering. I am hereby endorsing psychic suffering over depression." From The Adventures of Cancer Bitch: ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Excursion to Tindari: Inspector Montalbano, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    The fifth in the hit Italian crime series, Excursion to Tindari is another darkly comic detective story featuring Inspector Montalbano. Maybe a phrase, a line, a hint somewhere would reveal a reason, any reason, for the elderly couple's disappearance. They'd saved everything.... There was even a copy of the 'certificate of living existence', that nadir of bureaucratic imbecility.... What was the protocol, to use a word dear to government offices? Did one simply write on a sheet of paper something like 'I, the undersigned, Salvo Montalbano, hereby declare myself to be in existence', sign it, and turn it in to the appointed clerk? A young Don Juan is found murdered in front of his apartment building early one morning, and an elderly couple is reported missing after an excursion to the ancient site of Tindari - two seemingly unrelated cases for Inspector Montalbano to solve amid the daily complications of life at Vigàta police headquarters. But when Montalbano discovers that the couple and the murdered young man lived in the same building, his investigation stumbles onto Sicily's brutal New Mafia, which leads him down a path more evil and more far-reaching than any he has been down before. Excursion to Tindari is followed by the sixth novel in the Inspector Montalbano series, The Scent of the Night. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Meadows.

    Quit Smoking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
    Form good habits...be a good person is the universal motherly advice every one of us can recall when we scratch the realm of our memories. Tiny tots and youngsters are forever bound, protected, and guided by their seniors and elderly in order to help them on to tread the path laid on time tested principles of honesty and good behavior. Yet sometimes unknowingly they take the forbidden route just to prove things for the heck of it.Due to the extreme stress, strain, and stretch of the competitive world, any person today is more susceptible to succumb to pressure and buckle under it. Here's where the need for addiction in any form arises, which provides only temporary solace rather than erasing the real cause. We sometimes latch on to it and slowly get further and further suck into its false whirlpool, leading us to lose our willpower.An addiction simply adheres itself to our self-belief, eroding it gradually by digging into it. We just remain a shadow of our previous selves hereby taking a shortcut to a track that leads us to more acute physical and mental problems. Any addiction can be overcome, any bad patch overridden if only we could endure it by facing it head-on, keeping the following lines from Kipling in mind:If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith 60 seconds worth of distance runYours is the earth and everything that's in itAnd - which is more - you'll be a man! ungekürzt.
