300 Words to Sound Smarter and Be More Respected , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
This title is laser-focused on making you sound smarter and becoming more respected by using a larger, more sophisticated vocabulary. Simply has systematically excluded words here that did meet this goal - words that are perfectly good in some contexts, but will not make you sound smarter. These include slang and popular-culture words, such as angst, avant-garde, Catch 22, kitsch, red herring, and white elephant. Then eliminated were those words whose meanings are often misconstrued, such as disinterested and complement/compliment. And finally, we eliminated were words that sound awkward in speech, such as accolade, baroque, epiphany, philistine, tete-a-tete, tryst, unrequited, and waft. Included words sound appropriate in conversation, work seamlessly, and will not be interpreted as "show off" words. The final test was that the words had to be those that people nodded slightly at when heard, because they enhance meaning and do not elicit any slight grimaces. We worked hard to eliminate those grimace words! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Deaver Brown. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/smag/000127/bk_smag_000127_sample.mp3.

Of Mice and the Man of La Mancha: A Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
If Steinbeck were to translate the works of Miguel de Cervantes, without any knowledge of 16th-century Spanish, this is how it might turn out. A knight errant and an idiot seek employment at a small slug ranch in Salinas. (Say that five times fast!)Don Quixote smiled a pitiful smile. “Why, you don’t need to have money to battle the dragons of the world, to fight for right and vanquish wrong. To fight for yourselves would be a grand start. To be the champions of your own destiny.”Moe looked over at Lenny. “He fights dragons?”Don Quixote chuckled. “Tell him Sancho. Tell him about the dreaded dragon that was threatening the countryside.”Lenny nodded vigorously. “That’s right. And George showed him what for, too. He wopped that old windmill, and tore its sheets. And then he went round, and round, and round on one of its arms.”Larry laughed. “You fought a windmill?”Don Quixote. “I didn’t win that bout, but I think it has more respect for me.” ungekürzt.

Terry of the Double C , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min
“Mr. Stocker said if I could make my way here by this evening there would be a job waiting. I’m here.” On his first full day of work on the Lazy-S, Terry was led to the horse stable by Big Mike. “I spect you know what a shovel is, and that over there is a wheelbarrow. Spect you know that too. Your job, for now, is to keep this barn clean and the horses fed, watered, and groomed. You ever been around horses before?” Terry nodded, but Mike wasn’t looking his way, so he simply followed the nod with “some.” Terry needed two things that summer. One was to put away a few dollars towards the cost of college, the other was a rest from his chaotic home life. If the path to his future started in the stable, he would make the best of it.Cattle, cowboys, a brush with a cougar, and, of course, a beautiful rancher’s daughter, all lead the young and inexperienced Terry on an adventurous path into adulthood, all in the shadow of the magnificent snow topped Rockies. ungekürzt.

To Prussia with Love: Misadventures in Rural East Germany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
'We-have-a-house-in-the-country?'. Lena nodded solemnly. 'Where?'. I almost shouted, briefly rattling the table. 'No, wait, don't tell me - it's Todi in Umbria, right? The old manor house, the one with the lemon groves'! 'Alt-Globnitz'. 'Alt-Globnitz?'. Suddenly I felt cold. 'Alt-Globnitz. It's a really nice place. You will love it'. In a desperate attempt to save his relationship with girlfriend, Lena, and take a break from the world of journalism, Germany correspondent Roger Boyes agrees to make a great escape from the easy urban lifestyle of Berlin and decamp to the countryside. Roger has hopes for southern Italy, but Lena has inherited a run-down old schloss in deepest, darkest Brandenburg. Needing a form of income, they decide to set up a B & B with a British theme. Enter unhelpful Harry and his Trinidadian chef cousin, a mad Scot to advise them on re-branding Brandenburg, some suicidal frogs, and a posse of mad tourists. It all culminates, naturally, in a cricket match between the Brits and the Germans on an old Russian minefield. Farce meets romance in this follow-up to the successful A Year in the Scheisse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Bowles.

Will Mother Nature give a devastating blow that will end their love before it starts?

Deadly Circumstances: Mary O'Reilly Paranormal Mysteries, Book 16 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
The bedroom door flew open with a powerful crash. "What the...?" Mary exclaimed. Mike nodded. "Yeah, well see, that's the problem," he said with a sigh. "You brought someone home with you tonight." "What?" "And it looks like she's not real happy about your relationship with Bradley," he said. "I have a jealous ghost in my house?" Mary asked, astonished. Mike shook his head apologetically. "No, sweetheart," he said. "You have a jealous poltergeist in your home." As if on cue, the drawers in Mary's dresser opened, and her clothing started flying across the room. Mary turned back to Mike. "Really?" she asked. "Like I need this now?" She walked into the center of her bedroom and immediately was hit in the face by a pair of her own underwear. And this time she was sure of it. She heard a giggle, and then suddenly the entire room was filling with swirling clothing. Bradley came running into the room and the ruckus ended. "What happened?" he asked. "I think I just met one of your former girlfriends," Mary said, pulling a pair of underwear from out of her neckline. "And I don't think she was very happy to meet me." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Spencer. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/063057/bk_acx0_063057_sample.mp3.
