    Publisher's Summary:
    Road Dog is comedian, actor, and writer, Dov Davidoff's unflinching memoir told through reflections of twelve months on the road. Davidoff travels across the country from college campuses to local theaters doing stand-up comedy and telling it like it is. He's been known to wax poetic about everything from encounters with large fake breasts, to people who have too many kids, to magnum condoms the size of CD cases. He is hilarious and relatable and will have you laughing at yourself in no time.
    But there's more to the road dog life than TV features and sold out comedy shows, there's a dark underbelly and Dov knows it well. His memoir chronicles the highs and often very low lows of performance life with honesty, clarity, and humility. Dov takes listeners from his fractured childhood days spent in a New Jersey junkyard with a gruff Jewish father and commune-loving hippie Protestant mother to the intense hyperactive persona that his fans know and expect discussing the relationships, drugs, and demons that he has fought along the way. With an eye for self-reflection, and a penchant for hilarious irony, Dov pulls back the curtain on a life hard-made on the road.

    Title: A Newfoundlander in Canada

    Publisher's Summary:
    Following the fantastic success of his best-selling memoir, Where I Belong, Great Big Sea front man Alan Doyle returns with a hilarious, heartwarming account of leaving Newfoundland and discovering Canada for the first time.
    Armed with the same personable, candid style found in his first book, Alan Doyle turns his perspective outward from Petty Harbour toward mainland Canada, reflecting on what it was like to venture away from the comforts of home and the familiarity of the island.
    Often in a van, sometimes in a bus, occasionally in a car with broken wipers "using Bob's belt and a rope found by Paddy's Pond" to pull them back and forth, Alan and his bandmates charted new territory, and he constantly measured what he saw of the vast country against what his forefathers once called the Daemon Canada. In a period punctuated by triumphant leaps forward for the band, deflating steps backward, and everything in between - opening for Barney the Dinosaur at an outdoor music festival, being propositioned at a gas station mail-order bride service in Alberta, drinking moonshine with an elderly churchgoer on a Sunday morning in PEI - Alan's few established notions about Canada were often debunked, and his own identity as a Newfoundlander was constantly challenged. Touring the country, he also discovered how others view Newfoundlanders and how skewed these images can sometimes be. Asked to play in front of the queen at a massive Canada Day festival on Parliament Hill, the concert organizers assured Alan and his bandmates that the best way to showcase Newfoundland culture was for them to be towed onto stage in a dory and introduced not as Newfoundlanders but as "Newfies". The boys were not amused.
    Heartfelt, funny, and always insightful, these stories tap in to the complexities of community and Canadianness, forming the portrait of a young man from a tiny fishing village trying to define and hold on to his sense of home while navigating a vast and diverse and wonder-filled country.

    A Newfoundlander
    Alan Doyle is always entertaining.He tells the stories of the early days of Great Big Sea in this new book.It's great!
    One of the best 10 books I read in 2017! Wicked.
    As an Australian I wasn't familiar with Doyle's music, I stumbled onto the author via a random and then fanatical viewing of "Republic of Doyle". I dug into the incredibly talented cast including supporting actors (which included Doyle) and I'm happy I did.
    The book is touching yet funny, deep yet maintains its momentum - one of the best 10 books I read in 2018. And the audio book had me speaking like a Newfoundlander for weeks in my own head.
    For months at work I'd find myself laughing about stories from "A Newfoundlander in Canada" and saying 'yes b'y, 'wicked', 'deadly', 'whatta yat?' and 'best kind' ... I felt like I was let into a very special (and funny) Club, and my host was sir Alan Doyle.
    Fantastic
    A fantastic listen from beginning to end. Add it to your collection and you will not be disappointed!
    never better
    wicked, touching, and simply honest. Alan makes you want to explore Canada. But at the same time know that home is always the best.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Male literary friendships are the stuff of legend; think Byron and Shelley, Fitzgerald and Hemingway. But the world's best-loved female authors are usually mythologized as solitary eccentrics or isolated geniuses. Coauthors and real-life friends Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney prove this wrong, thanks to their discovery of a wealth of surprising collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, playwright Anne Sharp; the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Bronte; the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and Harriet Beecher Stowe; and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship fired by an underlying erotic charge.
    Through letters and diaries that have never been published before, A Secret Sisterhood resurrects these forgotten stories of female friendships. They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always - until now - tantalizingly consigned to the shadows.

    A look at the friendships of Austen, Bronte, Elliot and Wooff with other literary women and the influence on life and work
    I was a little disappointed when I got this because I thought the book was about a literary friendship of Austen, Bronte, Eliot and Woolf! Of course, on reflection, that didn't even make sense. This book is about these four famous women and a close female friend of each. However, if like me, you were looking to read about the friendships of famous women writers, half of these sections still fit the bill--George Elliot's friendship with Harriet Beecher Stowe and Virginia Woolf's close friendship with Katherine Mansfield. Unsurprisingly, all of the friendships are "literary", as Anne Sharp (Jane Austen's friend who also had been a family employee) was a struggling playwright and Mary Taylor (the friend who pushed Charlotte Bronte to get her work out there) was an aspiring writer.
    As the forward by Margaret Atwood points out, it was hard for women writers to be taken seriously, to have the opportunity to build an audience for their work and they were often resented by male writers once they did achieve success. So it wasn't surprising that friendships would be an important source of support between literary women struggling to succeed in a male dominated field (two published under names that did not reveal their true gender) . These are literary "sisters", but just like real-life sisters, their relationships are complicated--supportive at times, competitive at times, caring but sometimes self-centered and selfish, ultimately beneficial to both. As the authors observe, much has been made of the friendships of male writers -- it is easy to think of so many in England and the U.S. throughout literature--but women's relationships with other women have largely been ignored.

    Publisher's Summary:
    The remarkable true story of acclaimed opera singer Charity Tillemann-Dick, who received not one but two double lung transplants and went from struggling to draw a single breath to singing at the most prestigious venues in the world.
    Charity Tillemann-Dick was a vivacious young American soprano studying at the celebrated Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest when she received devastating news: her lungs were failing, her heart was three and a half sizes too big, and she would die within five years. Inexplicably, despite her fatal pulmonary condition, she could still sing. Medical experts advised Charity to abandon her musical dreams, but if her time was running out, she wanted to spend it doing what she loved.
    In just three years, she endured two double lung transplants. Teetering between life and death, she slowly learned to breathe, walk, talk, eat, and sing again. With new lungs and fierce determination, she eventually fell in love, rebuilt her career, and reclaimed her life. Over a decade after her diagnosis, she has a chart-topping album, performs around the globe, and is a leading voice for organ donation.
    Weaving Charity's extraordinary tale of triumph with those of opera's greatest heroines, The Encore illuminates the indomitable human spirit. It's the story of confronting devastating challenges with love: the intimate love of a mother for her daughter, a man for a woman, a doctor for her craft, and a singer for her music. Ultimately, grace from God and strangers enabled the work of love to save one young woman's breath and allowed her to reclaim her life.

    an incredible story by &about an incredible person
    Such a powerful story full of grace! I especially loved the narration by the author.
    Remarkable, Heartrending, Joyful, Sublime
    These are the words that occur to me as I wrap up my listen of The Encore. An incredible written work, and a beautiful performance. Powerful as the book itself is, I kept thinking how wonderful it is to listen to Charity telling and singing her storyin her own words, with her own voice. I am in awe of this woman and her sheer will to live and thrive against the odds. Hers is a story that will not soon be forgottenwith a message of hope and encouragement for all of us.
    Inspiring, interesting and thought provoking
    There is nothing like hearing a memoir read by the author herself. This story takes the listener on a interesting and thought-provoking journey through tragedy, trial and triumph. Acknowledging it is a memoir, o still would have liked a paragraph or two here and there noting what her siblings or husband were thinking at various points, such as during the wedding prep, just to round out the story more.
    A truly remarkable story
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Encore to be better than the print version?
    Yes. I have been following Charity Tillemann-Dick's career for several years. I first bought the print version, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I downloaded the audio version when I learned that she sings in it.

    Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians
    Publisher's Summary:
    From the golden-haired, curly-headed half of Simon & Garfunkel - a memoir (of sorts): artful, moving, lyrical; the making of a musician; the evolution of a man, a portrait of a lifelong friendship and collaboration that became one of the most successful singing duos of their time.
    Art Garfunkel writes about his life before, during, and after Simon & Garfunkel...about their folk-rock music in the roiling age that embraced and was defined by their path-breaking sound. He writes about growing up in the 1940s and '50s (son of a traveling salesman), a middle class Jewish boy, living in a red brick semi-attached house in Kew Gardens, Queens, a kid who was different - from the age of five feeling his vocal cords "vibrating with the love of sound"...meeting Paul Simon in school, the funny guy who made Art laugh; their going on to junior high school together, of being 12 at the birth of rock 'n' roll, both of them "captured" by it; going to a recording studio in Manhattan to make a demo of their song "Hey Schoolgirl" (for $7!) and the actual record (with Paul's father on bass) going to number 40 on the national charts, selling 150,000 copies....
    He writes about their becoming Simon & Garfunkel, taking the world by storm, ruling the pop charts from the time he was 16, about not being a natural performer but more a thinker...touring; sex-for-thrills on the road, reading or walking to calm down (walking across two continents - the USA and Europe). He writes of being an actor working with directors Nicolas Roeg (Bad Timing) and Mike Nichols ("the greatest of them all")...getting his master's in mathematics at Columbia; choosing music over a PhD; his slow, unfolding split with Paul and its aftermath; learning to perform on his own, giving a thousand concerts worldwide, his voice going south (a stiffening of one vocal cord) and working to get it back...about being a husband, a father, and much more.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Garfunkel reveals flashes of real insight about the transcendent power of music and the inner workings of a singer's life." (
    Publishers Weekly)

    Accept This Book For What It Is...and Isn't
    I'm reviewing the Audible version. I knew what I was in for when I saw him in concert in Plymouth, MA in June 2017. His voice, once so perfect, was now a 'work in progress' as Art said. But given his age and accepting of the limitations of time the concert was fine. But...in between songs he would quote some of the rambling passages from this book. 'So there I was, drinking my freshly squeezed..lah, de, dah, de dah.' on and on nonsense. It was uncomfortable and he came across so full of himself it was insufferable at times. But...his voice brings back so many memories, as flawed as it may be in spots by age, use and health.
    So why buy the Audible book? I wanted to hear 'the voice' in the cohesiveness of the book with an open mind instead of snippets and to see if his poetic style might grow on me...and it did...to a degree. Sure, would have preferred an autobiography. Nonetheless, like I said, I knew what I was buying unlike some others and it has grown on me a bit since I was coming at it a bit differently.

    Title: What I Found in a Thousand Towns

    Publisher's Summary:
    A beloved folk singer presents an impassioned account of the fall and rise of the small American towns she cherishes.
    Dubbed by The New Yorker as "one of America's very best singer-songwriters", Dar Williams has made her career not in stadiums, but touring America's small towns. She has played their venues, composed in their coffee shops, and drank in their bars. She has seen these communities struggle but has also seen them thrive in the face of postindustrial identity crises.
    Here, Williams muses on why some towns flourish while others fail, examining elements from the significance of history and nature to the uniting power of public spaces and food. Drawing on her own travels and the work of urban theorists, Williams offers real solutions to rebuild declining communities.
    What I Found in a Thousand Towns is more than a love letter to America's small towns, it's a deeply personal and hopeful message about the potential of America's lively and resilient communities.
    Members Reviews:
    She found herself.
    A fine, fine book, from the crisp clarity of its style -- hardly a sentence over four lines! -- to its three-point, three-part organization, taking you from one specific town to another, coast to coast. Dar's career has not been traveling from ampitheatre to amphitheater, it's been from coffeehouse to coffeehouse - personally, I prefer the term, 'listening room,' but what can you do, usage rules, right? -- and a largepercentage of her CD sales have been, I would guess, right off the stage, out of her suitcase. Which fits what she's preaching - you don't begin with a revolution, you begin with a hill not being used yet for sledding, and you go on from there to develop community. Don't you? Have you tried? Dar Williams has, and she reports back: success, in a thousand small towns, Moab (Utah) to Phoenixville (PA), and back on the road again. It's an inspiring story, well-told, and it's clear what you should now do isn't it? Buy the book, through Amazon - easy right now, right? - or, if you follow the idea here, at a local bookstore with a small, well-sifted inventory. Your mind will thank you.
    I
    100 towns....a huge yes
    A great resource for anyone interested in community development. She also gives enough peeks into her own life to give fans a better sense of knowing.

    A little bit airy fairy and wandering, but that is the essence of the author's intent. It is a valuable subject, just wish it was a lot more focused.
    How People Made Their Towns GREAT Again
    Far Williams writes a song about America's towns and what people can do to rebuild and revitalize them from the inside.
    An inspiring read with enough success stories and ideas to give anyone a myriad of ideas to rebuild, rebrand or strengthen their own community.
    The Folksinger's Guide to a Better, Smarter Hometown
    As a touring musician, Dar Williams has witnessed the ways certain cities have evolved over the last quarter century. Some small to medium-sized American communities emerged from the malaise of the middle 1990s stronger, smarter, and prepared to face the tech-savvy new generation, while others didnât.

    Publisher's Summary:
    A memoir by the influential Grammy Award-winning singer and actor - son of journalist Loudon Wainwright, former husband of Kate McGarrigle and Suzzy Roche, and father of Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche, and Lexie Kelly Wainwright - a captivating meditation on relationships and creativity from the patriarch of one of America's great musical families. With a career spanning more than four decades, Loudon Wainwright III has established himself as one of the most enduring singer-songwriters who emerged from the late '60s. Not only does he perform regularly across America and in Europe, but he is a sought after actor, having appeared in such movies as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Sleepwalk with Me and TV series ranging from M*A*S*H to Person of Interest to Parks and Recreation.
    There is probably no singer-songwriter who has so blatantly inserted himself into his songs about parents, grandparents, children, siblings, and wives. As he puts it in "So Many Songs": It's taken so long to finally see / My songs about you are all about me. The songs can be laugh-out-loud funny, but they also can cut to the bone. In his memoir, Wainwright continues to emphasize the personal. He details the family history his lyrics have referenced and the fractured relationships in the Wainwright family throughout generations: the alcoholism, the infidelities, the competitiveness - as well as the closeness, the successes, and the joy. Wainwright reflects on the experiences that have influenced his songwriting, including boarding school, the music business, swimming, macrobiotics, sex, incarceration, and something he calls Sir Walter Raleigh syndrome.
    The book is very much about being a son - a status that dominates many of Wainwright's songs. But it is also about being a parent, a brother, and a grandfather. Wainwright's song lyrics are represented throughout the book, amplifying his prose and showing the connections between the songs and real life. He also includes excerpts and selections from his father's brilliant LIFE magazine columns - and, in so doing, reestablishes his father as a major essayist of his era. A funny and insightful meditation on family, inspiration, and art, Wainwright's memoir will thrill fans, listeners, and anyone who appreciates the intersection of music and life.

    Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians
    Publisher's Summary:
    Maximum Volume offers a glimpse into the mind, the music, and the man behind the sound of the Beatles. George Martin's working-class childhood and musical influences profoundly shaped his early career in the BBC's Classical Music department and as head of the EMI Group's Parlophone Records. Out of them flowed the genius behind his seven years producing the Beatles' incredible body of work, including such albums as Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Abbey Road.
    The first book of two, Maximum Volume traces Martin's early years as a scratch pianist, his life in the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War, and his groundbreaking work as the head of Parlophone Records, when Martin saved the company from ruin after making his name as a producer of comedy recordings. In its most dramatic moments, Maximum Volume narrates the story of Martin's unlikely discovery of the Beatles and his painstaking efforts to prepare their newfangled sound for the British music marketplace. As the story unfolds, Martin and the band craft numerous number one hits, progressing toward the landmark album Rubber Soul - all of which bear Martin's unmistakable musical signature.
    Members Reviews:
    Extremely informative but tiresome accents
    I've been waiting for this book/audiobook for a long time, for an informed and detailed telling of George Martin's work in the EMI studios with the Beatles during the 1960s. In that regard, this one excels, covering each recording session (and the songwriting work leading up to it) in compelling detail.
    As for the narration, I realize there are a lot of quotes from George Martin, the Beatles, etc. in the written book and that they must be incorporated into the audiobook. But, as with Volume 1 of Lewinson's Tune In, substandard or lazy Liverpudlian accents quickly detract from the excellent story. Paul Woodson, the narrator for this audiobook, is American born but spent a few childhood years in the UK. Still, neither his uppercrust George Martin accent or the foursome's heavy Scouse accents are done very well. Everything else is excellent.

    Publisher's Summary:
    For the first time, the final years of one of the world's most captivating rock showmen are laid bare.
    When Freddie Mercury died in 1991, aged just 45, the world was rocked by the vibrant and flamboyant star's tragic secret that he had been battling AIDS. That Mercury had even been diagnosed came as a shock to his millions of fans, with his announcement coming less than 24 hours before his death.
    In Somebody to Love, biographers Mark Langthorne and Matt Richards skilfully weave Freddie Mercury's incredible pursuit of musical greatness with Queen, his upbringing and his endless search for love with the story of a terrible disease that swept across the world in the 1980s, as medical treatment fought to catch up with it despite underfunding, social ignorance and homophobia.
    With brand-new perspectives from Mercury's closest friends and fellow musicians, this unique and deeply moving tribute casts a very different light on both his death and the origins of AIDS itself.
    An intimate listen, like Freddie and his art, it will stay with you for a long time.
