    Schön verrückt
    Die vorliegende Autobiografie Wolfgang Beckers dokumentiert den steinigen Weg eines Reporters, der sich in der Welt von Rechtsextremisten, Geheimdiensten und Organisierter Kriminalität bewegte und schließlich verrückt wurde. Aufgewachsen als Kuckuckskind mit zahlreichen Ersatzvätern, Schulzeit mit Drogenkarriere, bewegte Studentenjahre mit Atomkraft-Nein-Danke und Hausbesetzungen sowie investigativer Journalismus über Verfassungsschutz und Neonazis. Daraus wird der Stoff für eine Paranoia, die schließlich immer wieder in die geschlossene Psychiatrie führt. Die bereits in der Kindheit angelegte bipolare Störung entfaltet sich in anhaltenden Depressionen und schizophrenen Schüben: Nicht immer schön verrückte Episoden im Zwiespalt einer Person mit zwei Gesichtern. Erzählt wird auch über die Liebe zum Leben, zu Frauen und zu seinen Kindern. Und über die Suche nach Heimat, in Niedersachsen aber vor allem in Südfrankreich und auf der Kanareninsel La Gomera. Das Buch schildert die beharrlichen Versuche, einen Ausweg aus der manisch-depressiven Erkrankung zu finden und ist damit gleichzeitig ein Beitrag zur Selbsttherapie. Ein bewegtes Stück aktueller Zeitgeschichte, ein Mutmach-Buch für Betroffene und ein Erfahrungsbericht aus dem Leben eines Post-68ers, der an der Leichtigkeit des Seins verzweifelte und letztlich doch sein Seelenheil fand.

    Mitten im Sturm
    GraceNormale Menschen lernen sich in einer Bar kennen. Oder an der Uni. Okay, vielleicht auch im Baumarkt. Als ich Eric Delany kennenlernte, versteckte ich mich gerade unter einem Espressoautomaten, stahl dem Fremden dann den Kaffee praktisch von den Lippen und ließ mir erklären, wo ich Wandfarbe für meine Wohnungstür finden würde. Jap, eher nicht normal. Paranoia und Schlafmangel lassen grüßen. Aber Eric ist Militärpolizist, also ist unser Schicksal ohnehin besiegelt. Denn ein Polizist ist definitiv das Letzte, das ich in meinem Chaos brauche. Zumindest dachte ich das ...EricGrace Souza ist ein Wirbelwind auf zwei Beinen. Klein, blond, atemberaubend und ein Haufen Ärger. In der einen Minute ist sie witzig und frech. In der nächsten verängstigt oder sauer auf mich, nur weil ich Schneewittchen nicht mag. Es macht mich wahnsinnig, dass ich in ihrer Gegenwart leichter atmen kann, obwohl sämtliche Alarmglocken läuten. Dass Grace in irgendwelchen Schwierigkeiten steckt, ist klar. Als die Leichen in ihrem Keller aber plötzlich an ihre Tür klopfen, wird mein Bedürfnis, Grace zu beschützen, schlagartig zu so viel mehr ...

    Red Moon Rising: Sputnik and the Hidden Rivals That Ignited the Space Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 694min
    On October 4, 1957, a time of Cold War paranoia, the Soviet Union secretly launched the Earth's first artificial moon. No bigger than a basketball, the tiny satellite was powered by a car battery. Yet, for all its simplicity, Sputnik stunned the world.Based on extensive research in the US and newly opened archives in the former USSR, Red Moon Rising tells the story of five extraordinary months in the history of technology and the rivalry between two superpowers. It takes us inside the Kremlin and introduces the Soviet engineer Korolev, the charismatic, politically-minded visionary who motivated Khruschev to support what others dismissed as a ridiculous program. Korolev is virtually unknown to most Americans, yet it is because of him that NASA exists, that college loan programs were started in the U.S., and that Kennedy and Johnson became presidents. Character driven, suspenseful, and dramatic, Red Moon Rising unveils the politics, people, science, and mindset behind a critical and transformative world event. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other: The Story of Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 772min
    One of the most tragic stories of the 1990s rock world was that of singer Shannon Hoon and his band, Blind Melon. Despite scoring one of the decade’s most enduring singles and videos, “No Rain”, and a quadruple-platinum hit with their 1992 self-titled debut album (in addition to touring alongside rock’s biggest names), Hoon could not overcome a dangerous drug addiction. Only two records into a promising career, Hoon was dead from an overdose at the age of 28. A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other is the first book to tell the group’s story - culled from more than 50 exclusive interviews (including the surviving band members and those closest to the band). “I am honored that Greg has painstakingly accounted for what the hell happened during those crazy times. He has summed up all the chaos, jubilation, and paranoia that is Blind Melon.” (Brad Smith, Blind Melon bassist) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Prato.
