A heartwarming novel about the surprise of second chances in the autumn of your life.

Tolya has woken from a long illness to find his memory gone. Tidied away in a sanatorium, with only the view of a pine tree for entertainment, he is delighted when young doctor Vlad decides to make a project of him. With a keen listener by his side and the aid of smuggled homemade sugary delights, Tolya's boyhood memories return, revealing dark secrets....

Two Cousins of Azov is a tender and wonderful story of two men who, in the autumn of their years, have the chance to learn that memories can heal as well as haunt.

Title: P.U.N.C.H.

Author: Tisha Bender

Narrator: Tisha Bender

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-03-17

Publisher: Tisha Bender

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

The complacent Maximillian Dreyfuss, head of a recently formed online university, was pleased, amongst other things, with the name P.U.N.C.H.; an acronym for posting University Network Courses Here, thought up by Letty from the Religious Studies Department, with whom he'd been enjoying a brief affair at that time. Punch also refers to the alcohol served in the occasional P.U.N.C.H parties on campus, as well as the emotional and sometimes physical blows Maximillian delivers to those around him. All was going well in the P.U.N.C.H. empire, with increasing numbers of online classes and eager students each semester, but then events take a surprising plunge and no virtual stone is left unturned in this insightful and humorous send-up of academic life on the web.

Members Reviews:

I recommend a little dose of Dr

These days humor is everywhere we don't expect to see it. In all honesty I can't recall the last time I read a novel that made me smile or laugh out loud. Thankfully Tisha Bender has rectified the situation with her latest novel, P.U.N.C.H. So if our American political landscape has you down in the dumps, or if you are finding that winter is dragging along too slowly, I recommend a little dose of Dr. Bender's very clever cure-all.

Who says academia is for the lofty-minded?

This is a very entertaining and well-written tale of academia with a twist. I look forward to many more from this author!

Great Escape

It took me a while to get into this book and I found I had to listen to the beginning several times, but it was worth it. Was it "Great literature " ...no, was it great escapism...definitely!

Title: Don't Worry

Subtitle: It's Just a Dream

Author: Lee Davidson

Narrator: Craig Long

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-17

Publisher: 1950

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Lee Davidson takes the concept of journaling about dreams a step up in a collection of 31 comedic short stories about his own shut-eye narratives.

As the protagonist in his stories, Davidson embraces the illogical aspects of dreams and wanderings of the imagination, as they place him in strange and humorous allegorical situations.

The dreams that Davidson depicts are similar to those that you may have had. In some dreams, he goes back to the halls of his high school, to the days of final exams and young crushes. In others, he's at work when a series of exceedingly strange situations occur, or he's exploring important places from his past.

Davidson's stories also include dreaded scenarios from which anyone is eager to awake. He'll suddenly find himself naked in a public place, hoping that no one notices. Ex-lovers haunt his life in unpredictable ways. Worst of all, he gets trapped in nightmarish automated menu loops when calling customer service.

As you journey through Davidson's subconscious, be prepared to laugh and find yourself enthralled in larger-than-life circumstances that can take place only in dreams.

Members Reviews:

Just - fantastic and complex dreams.

As I knew the writer, I expected the book to be - "the book." It is quite sardonic and witty. Many people will identify with the weirdness of dreams - how real life gets all mixed up with fantastic events. I recommended the book as a good read, as one can read its chapters on the run, ie, on the train or on a bus - without needing to follow a plot, as in a fiction book. I recommend it to people who like to laugh and also, reflect about life.

Good job!

Over the top, far more than I expected. Good job!

Herr Schreiber ist Schriftsteller, ein überzeugt erfolgloser zumal. Für alle Fälle hat er seine Ablehnungsschreiben in Kalbsleder binden lassen. "Das macht einen besseren Eindruck - für die Nachwelt", meint er. Dann blitzt ihm unverhofft die Idee zum ganz großen Roman auf - und sein literarischer Hürdenlauf kommt so richtig in Fahrt.

Diese Frau weckt dieses gewisse Rotweingefühl: ein bisschen trunken, ein bisschen traurig und dabei unendlich selig.

The life of a fugitive

This is the second novel I read by Susan Choi, who is a recent discovery for me. Her writing is complex and rich. The first novel I read by her was "My Education," which was pretty amazing. This one was written earlier and concerns a young woman who became involved in anti-establishment terrorism during the Vietnam war. She is wanted by the law and on the run, living an anonymous life, when another underground friend puts her in the position of having to protect three other revolutionaries who are on the FBI most wanted list. She in no way wants to be in this position, but has little choice. The way her relationship with the others evolves, particularly with the heiress (shades of Patty Hearst) who was kidnapped and then espoused her captors' ideals, is the crux of the story. Susan Choi is able to create characters who come to life with minute details and longer, in-depth delving. She changes POV a couple of times, but mostly we are looking through the lens of the heroine, who may have been too young and too in love when she started out on this path. However, that's not a conclusion the author presses. The characters are always given full responsibility for their actions and reactions.

I recommend this book. The only drawback might be that sometimes Choi's descriptions feel a little too long and repetitive, as if each paragraph was a meditation. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I found myself getting impatient in a couple of places.

Novel based on recent historical events

The writing in this novel alternates between very attractive and very wordy. This particular novel is based somewhat on the kidnapping of Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army, but the author adds another character who was on the outside of that situation. The psychology of the main narrator fits in with other non--fiction narratives that I have read.

Dark and a little dreary

Although it was beautifully written, it was such a dark novel, that I found it hard to come to terms with. I do remember the Patty Hearst case and that was why I thought I would enjoy it. I didnât NOT enjoy it, but it was hard to relate to and just didnât keep me as riveted as I would have liked. Some passages seemed to go on forever in an almost stream of consciousness way. I preferred the parts that involved a little more action in bringing the story forward. Still, an interesting read, but a little too pedantic for me.

Exceptional book which moves beyond real life connection

This is the type of book I typically avoid, but before I had a chance to run I was drawn in by this engrossing account of one fugitive trying to help three more people continue their evasion of the police. I was not far into the book (okay, chapter two) when I realized I was in a fictional account of the Patty Hearst story.

Kann es beim Bestatter zu viele Leichen geben? Wie bringt man einen Finnen dazu, mehr als drei Worte zu sagen? Ist man in einem Pyjama im Supermarkt underdressed oder kommt es auf die Accessoires an? Alles Fragen, die Maggie Abendroth nicht beantworten will. Sie hat definitiv andere Sorgen. Maggie ist 37, pleite und wohnt wieder in ihrer alten Heimat Bochum auf 22 qm - ohne Aussicht. Ihr neuer Job als Aushilfssekretärin bei einem Beerdigungsinstitut stellt ihre Nerven zusätzlich auf eine harte Probe.

Bei "Pietät Sommer" ist alles unheimlich: der schweigsame Kollege Herr Matti, ihr blasierter Chef Herr Sommer - und die tote Kundschaft im Keller sowieso. Als dann auch noch ihre Lieblingsorganistin für Trauerfeiern plötzlich verstirbt, steckt Maggie ihre Nase in Dinge, die sie eigentlich nichts angehen. Gemeinsam mit Freundin Wilma, Herrn Matti und Ex-Kommissar Kostnitz begibt sie sich auf Spurensuche.
