    The Longer You Live The Older You Get: Baby Boomer Life Experiences , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
    Baby Boomers experienced a world growing up that is very different from the one we live in today. Some say it's better, and some say it's worse. We can all agree it's very different. These are humor columns about being a Baby Boomer. Baby Boomers came of age in a time when there were water fountains instead of hydration stations. Our childhood was filled with playing outside. When we were forced to stay inside it was tantamount to being punished. We spoke to people in person and understood body language. There was no cyber world. We all had to learn how to deal with reality. There were no computer games. There were pick-up sports based on who had a baseball, football, basketball, or other sports equipment. Playing a game depended on if the sports equipment owners were willing to share. Card games were played with real cards. We camped out without adults, went on bike hikes, swam in creeks, and more. Now we're middle age or older. Our bodies are changing, and the world around us continues to make less and less sense. This book is about the many common things experienced by Baby Boomers. Just like the song from the group The Who, I'm "talkin' 'bout my generation". ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James H Kiser.

    Recipe for a Happy Life: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min
    There's more than one recipe for a happy life. Hannah Goodman doesn't grow up like most kids on the Upper East Side. Her mother, Gray, is an award-winning photojournalist with little time for the banalities of child-rearing, and when she's not jetting off to follow the latest scoop, she's camped out at the Hotel Chelsea. The closest thing Hannah's got to a traditional matriarch is her grandmother - a glamorous widow six times over with a sprawling Hampton's estate. But Gray is determined that her daughter resist the siren song of the trust fund set, and make her own way in the world. So Hannah does just that - becoming a successful lawyer in New York City, and dating a handsome musician. Hannah has it all, or so it seems, until one hot June day the carefully constructed pieces of her life break apart. When she throws it all in and seeks solace at her grandmother's estate, she discovers that where happiness is concerned, you don't have to stick to the recipe. From Brenda Janowitz, the author of Jack with a Twist and Scot on the Rocks, comes a charming, clever, and romantic novel about three generations of women with a culture all their own. ungekürzt.

    Man & Horse: The Long Ride Across America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 711min
    In 1974, a disenfranchised young man from a broken home set out to do the impossible. With $100 in his pocket, a beat-up cavalry saddle, and a faraway look in his eye, John Egenes saddled his horse Gizmo and started down the trail on an adventure across the North American continent.Their seven-month journey took them across 11 states, from California to Virginia, ocean to ocean. As they left the pressing confinement of the city behind them, the pair experienced the isolation and loneliness of the southwestern deserts, the vastness of the prairie, and the great landscapes that make up America.Across hundreds of miles of empty land, they slept with coyotes and wild horses under the stars, and in urban areas, they camped alone in graveyards and abandoned shacks. Along the way, John and Gizmo were transformed from inexperienced horse and rider to veterans of the trail. With his young horse as his spiritual guide, John slowly began to comprehend his own place in the world and to find peace within himself.Full of heart and humor, Egenes serves up a tale that's as big as the America he witnessed, an America that no longer exists. It was a journey that could only have been experienced step by step, mile by mile, from the view between a horse's ears. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Egenes.

    Gladesmen: Gator Hunters, Moonshiners, and Skiffers: Florida History and Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
    Few people today can claim a living memory of Florida's frontier Everglades. Glen Simmons, who has hunted alligators, camped on hammock-covered islands, and poled his skiff through the mangrove swamps of the glades since the 1920s, is one who can. Together with Laura Ogden, he tells the story of backcountry life in the southern Everglades from his youth until the establishment of the Everglades National Park in 1947. During the economic bust of the late 20s, when many natives turned to the land to survive, Simmons began accompanying older local men into Everglades backcountry, the inhospitable prairie of soft muck and mosquitoes, of outlaws and moonshiners, that rings the southern part of the state. As Simmons recalls life in this community with humor and nostalgia, he also documents the forgotten lifestyles of south Florida gladesmen. By necessity, they understood the natural features of the Everglades ecosystem. They observed the seasonal fluctuations of wildlife, fire, and water levels. Their knowledge of the mostly unmapped labyrinth of grassy water enabled them to serve as guides for visiting naturalists and scientists. Simmons reconstructs this world, providing not only fascinating stories of individual personalities, places, and events, but an account that is accurate, both scientifically and historically, of one of the least known and longest surviving portions of the American frontier. The book is published by University Press of Florida. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James R. Marshall. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/002116/bk_acx0_002116_sample.mp3.

    Layla and Max grew up together, telling secrets, playing games, and sharing everything. As adults, however, they have drifted apart, and when Max shows up at Layla's house in the middle of the night, it has been more than a year since she has seen him. His eyes seem to say that he is the same best friend who she camped out with in the backyard with and experimented with for her first kiss. His body, however, seems to suggest differently. Layla is conflicted as to whether she should go on the offered road trip he has suggested. Max always saw Layla as the girl next door. She was his first crush and his first kiss, but it ended there. No matter what, though, she has always been the first person he thinks of when he is upset, and when his girlfriend breaks his heart, he heads straight for Layla. In just one year she has changed into a stunning woman who stirs desires in him that Max struggles to hide. Hoping a road trip, like when they were young, will reconnect their friendship and get him over his girlfriend, he convinces Layla to go along with him. Once they get out on the road, however, his attention turns away from childhood games and into much more adult pursuits. Can sex between best friends turn their connection into lasting passion, or will they lose their friendship and each other forever? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kendall Taylor.

    The Camel Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 969min
    The Camel Club by best-selling sensation David Baldacci is the exciting first instalment of a breathtaking series. The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days camped opposite the White House, hoping to expose corruption wherever he finds it. But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy theorist misfits known as The Camel Club, accidentally witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. Especially when the authorities are seemingly happy to write it off as a suicide. For Secret Service agent Alex Ford, monitoring the 'investigation', the suicide verdict doesn't ring true. As punishment for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, he is reassigned to bodyguard duties. His abilities are tested to the limit when he is sent to protect the President during a visit to his hometown, where a terrorist cell has spent months plotting an event that will shake the world. Meanwhile, America's powerful intelligence chief Carter Gray is unnerved when he glimpses the face of an old acquaintance in Arlington Cemetery - but it is the face of a man supposedly long dead.... And as The Camel Club is poised to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Washington's highly secretive corridors of power, Alex Ford finds out that his worst nightmare is about to happen.... The Camel Club is followed by The Collectors, Stone Cold, Divine Justice and Hell's Corner. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Davis.
