    Why Odin Drinks (eBook, ePUB)
    Norse Mythology retelling for fans of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Calvin & Hobbes Ever woken up being a God, but not knowing how to God properly? Poor Odin must restrain his brothers, who create offensive weapons such as mosquitoes and celery; placate his future-telling wife, Frigg, who demands sweatpants with pockets; listen to Loki's Helpful Questions; hang himself from Yggdrasil for nine days with a spear through his side (as you do); teach everyone about nutritional values of kale (but NOT celery); meet a Wise Dom, Sir Daddy Mímir, in order to outwit those who outwit him; and, most importantly, prove he is The All-Father, while his brothers are, at best, Those-Uncles-We-Don't-Talk-About. This nearly (except in Vanaheim) universally acclaimed retelling of the Gods' first millennium answers way too many questions, including ones on Freyr's entendre, horse designing… and why Odin drinks.

    Never Say "Moist" at Wyndover College , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
    The war of words at Wyndover College begins with a single shot: a taboo placed on the word “moist” to placate a first-year student who finds the word repulsive. But then, things escalate when an anonymous voice of opposition takes on the college’s strongly pro-student president and his latest innovative program to keep students happy. As the initially well-received “Word-Free” program gains traction, it divides the college. The enthusiastic mid-level official charged with implementing this concept finds that it’s increasingly difficult to manage, and his efforts are continuously undercut by the imaginative opposition of the Contrarian - a figure who posts creative, snarky messages in a wide range of settings. ungekürzt.
