Title: Dusty Subtitle: Reflections of Wrestling's American Dream Author: Howard Brody, Dusty Rhodes Narrator: Kerry Woodrow Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: There has been much said about Dusty Rhodes, the 'American Dream', over the years by both his fans and peers. Aside from the frequent fictional prose penned by wrestling magazine journalists and internet smart marks that run rumor-mill websites, however, there has not been much written about him. Until now. With the exception of a select few, there has been no bigger name or personality in the annals of pro wrestling history than Dusty Rhodes. Of those few, none of them can claim the compelling back story Rhodes shares in Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream of an industry plagued with political loyalties and disloyalties, greedy promoters, manipulative bookers, destructive personalities, multi-millionaires, and great leaders. Behind the "million-dollar smile" and the million dollar gate receipts is a man with a story to tell - not just of tall tales, yarns, and fabrications, but of a life filled with aspirations, dreams, disappointments, challenges, controversies, angst, conflict, success, and reflection. Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream is the story of a transformation from mediocrity to superstardom. It is the story of how the boy Virgil Runnels Jr. became the man Dusty Rhodes and truly lived the 'American Dream'. This is his story. Editorial Reviews: Virgil Riley Runnels, Jr,. is a wrestler (and former journalist) better known as Dusty Rhodes, "The American Dream". Dusty, written with Howard Brody, is the story of a man whose dreams have come true through a larger-than-life career. In chatty, expletive-laden prose, Rhodes takes the listener from his first wrestling match to the heights of the sport, and includes accounts of his friendships with other famous wrestlers like Andre the Giant and his rival Ric Flair. Kerry Woodrow tells Rhodes story with a deep southern drawl and a conversational tone.

Title: Tim Richmond Subtitle: The Fast Life and Remarkable Times of NASCAR's Top Gun Author: David Poole Narrator: Christine Padovan Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Tim Richmond was, fellow NASCAR driver Kyle Petty said, "a stranger in time." In one regard, the flashy, flamboyant driver from Ashland, Ohio, was years ahead of the trends in a sport that would soon enjoy explosive growth in popularity. Women who were NASCAR fans loved him - and so did their husbands and boyfriends. Richmond believed he could use his stardom in racing as a springboard to a second career as an actor, and he had the Hollywood good looks to make that a realistic dream. At the same time, Richmond was also a throwback. He pushed his race cars hard, too hard at times, driving every lap like he was hauling moonshine through the mountains of the Carolinas with a revenuer on his rear bumper. Those who saw him drive still compare him to veterans like Curtis Turner and Joe Weatherly, who ran as hard off the track as they did off of it. In the early 1980s, however, Richmond stood out. He was not from the South; he had not grown up slinging a stock car through the dirt on red-clay ovals. He had, in fact, never raced at all until he was 21. And just 10 years later, after making a splash in the Indianapolis 500 as a rookie, he was emerging as one of the brightest stars and greatest talents in NASCAR's Winston Cup Series. Richmond's star was bright, but its light went out too soon. As he neared stock car racing's zenith, Richmond's life took a tragic turn. A man who thrived on the affection he felt from those who enjoyed watching him compete spent his final months almost completely shut off from that world. Tim Richmond: The Fast Life and Remarkable Times of NASCAR's Top Gun tells the memorable story of a born racer and how he raced headlong through life with the throttle wide open and his wheels burning rubber at almost every turn. Editorial Reviews: From Tim Richmond's days as a young boy racing his go-kart on his father's factory floor to his tragic and untimely death at age 34, David Poole provides an extensive, penetrating look at one of racing's legendary figures with Tim Richmond: The Fast Life and Remarkable Times of NASCAR's Top Gun. Christine Padovan's captivating, lively delivery perfectly encapsulates Richmond's freewheeling spirit and the kinetic energy of Poole's prose. Her skillful performance makes this experience as bracing and compelling as a NASCAR race, making it difficult to pause after pressing play.

Title: Drinking with Men Author: Rosie Schaap Narrator: Rosie Schaap Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Rosie Schaap has always loved bars: the wood and brass and jukeboxes, the knowing bartenders, and especially the sometimes surprising but always comforting company of regulars. Starting with her misspent youth in the bar car of a regional railroad, where at age 15 she told commuters fortunes in exchange for beer, and continuing today as she slings cocktails at a neighborhood joint in Brooklyn, Schaap has learned her way around both sides of a bar and come to realize how powerful the fellowship among bar patrons can be. In Drinking with Men, Schaap shares her unending quest for the perfect local haunt that takes her from a dive outside L.A. to a Dublin pub full of poets, and from small-town New England taverns to a character-filled bar in Tribeca. Drinking alongside artists and expats, ironworkers and soccer fanatics, she finds that these places offer a safe haven, a respite, and a place to feel most like herself. In rich, colorful prose, Schaap brings to life these seedy, warm, and wonderful rooms. Drinking with Men is a love letter to the bars, pubs, and taverns that have been Schaaps refuge, and a celebration of the uniquely civilizing source of community that is bar culture at its best.

Title: Unstoppable Subtitle: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion Author: Anthony Robles, Austin Murphy Narrator: Chike Chukwuma Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 09-27-12 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The powerful and inspiring story of an all-American wrestler who defied the odds Anthony Robles is a three-time all-American wrestler, the 2011 NCAA National Wrestling Champion, and a Nike-sponsored athlete.

Doctors could not explain to his mother, Judy, what led to the birth defect, but at the age of five, the one-legged toddler scaled a fifty-foot pole unassisted. From that moment on, Judy knew without a doubt that her son would be unstoppable. When Anthony first began wrestling in high school, he was the smallest kid on the team and finished the year in last place. Yet Anthony's family and coaches supported his decision to continue, and he completed his junior and senior years with a 96 - 0 record to become a two-time Arizona State champion. In college, Anthony had to prove all over again that he could excel. Despite hardships on and off the matincluding the temptation to quit school and get a job to help his family when they lost their home to foreclosure - Anthony focused his determination and became a champion once again. Since winning the national championship in March 2011, Anthony has become a nationally recognized role model to kids and adults alike. But Unstoppable is not just an exciting sports memoir or an inspirational tale of living with a disability. It is also the story of one man whose spirit and unyielding resolve remind us all that we have the power to conquer adversity - in whatever form.

O'Donnell Narrator: Ken Kliban Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: At the height of World War II, with the Third Reich's final solution in full operation, a small group of Jews who had barely escaped the Nazis did the unthinkable: They went back. Spies now, these men took on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. They Dared Return is their story - a tale of adventure, espionage, love, and revenge. Critic Reviews: "There are so many remarkable things about They Dared Return one barely knows where to begin.... [It] compares easily to the most engaging thrillers you might care to read, but the fact that none of this is fiction makes the story all the more compelling. A compelling and thought-provoking book. (January magazine) "Armed with research in the National Archives, confidential documents and personal interviews, O'Donnell tells a heart-stopping tale of sabotage by men and women who placed everything on the line against a seemingly unstoppable tyranny." (Publishers Weekly)

Title: Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me Subtitle: A Memoir... of Sorts Author: Ian Morgan Cron Narrator: Ian Morgan Cron Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-11 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: "When I first discovered the grainy picture in my mothers deskme as a towheaded two-year-old sitting in what I remember was a salmon-orange-stained lifeboatI was overwhelmed by the feeling that the boy in the boat was not waving and laughing at the person snapping the photo as much as he was frantically trying to get the attention of the man I am today. The boy was beckoning me to join him on a voyage through the harrowing straits of memory. He was gambling that if we survived the passage, we might discover an ocean where the past would become the wind at our back rather than a driving gale to the nose of our boat. This [audio] book is the record of that voyage." Critic Reviews: Ian Cron writes with astonishing energy and freshness; his metaphors stick fast in the imagination. This is neither a simple memoir of hurt endured, nor a tidy story of reconciliation and resolution. It israther like Augustines Confessionsa testimony to the unfinished business of grace. (Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury) Ian Cron has the gift of making his human journey a parable for all of our journeys. Read this profound book and be well fed, and freed. (Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., author of Everything Belongs) Ian Morgan Crons story is a compelling one Each turn of the page will draw you closer to God. (Craig Groeschel, author of The Christian Atheist)
