Title: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Author: Benjamin Franklin Narrator: Fredd Wayne Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-06 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 177 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Ben Franklin's own lively story of his early years is a unique, fascinating, and influential look at this American founding father. It has been taught in schools as a moral tract, as a guide to self-improvement, and as the Great American Success Story. It also is relished both for its insight into colonial life and the mind of the man who most affected the development of our democratic form of government. Finally, it is savored for its language; Franklin's wit, his well-turned phrase, and his humanity shine through. (P)1997 The Audio Partners, Inc.

Title: Two Lives Author: Vikram Seth Narrator: Vikram Seth Format: Abridged Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-05 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Shanti Behari Seth was born on the eighth day of the eighth month in the eighth year of the twentieth century; he died two years before its close. He was brought up in India in the apparently vigorous but dying Raj and was sent by his family in the 1930s to Berlin, though he could not speak a word of German, to study medicine and dentistry. It was here, before he migrated to Britain, that Shanti's path first crossed that of his future wife. Helga Gerda Caro, known to everyone as "Henny" was also born in 1908, in Berlin, to a Jewish family, cultured, patriotic, and intensely German. When the family decided to take Shanti as a lodger, Henny's first reaction was, "Don't take the black man!" But a friendship flowered, and when Henny fled Hitler's Germany for England just one month before war broke out, she was met at Victoria Station by the only person in the country she knew: Shanti. Vikram Seth has woven together their astonishing story, which recounts the arrival into this childless couple's lives of their great-nephew from India, the teenage student Vikram Seth. The result is an extraordinary tapestry of India, the Third Reich and the Second World War, Auschwitz and the Holocaust, Israel and Palestine, postwar Germany and 1970s Britain. Two Lives is both a history of a violent century seen through the eyes of two survivors and an intimate portrait of their friendship, marriage, and abiding yet complex love. Part biography, part memoir, part meditation on our times, this is the true tale of two remarkable lives, a masterful telling from one of our greatest living writers. Critic Reviews: "This lovely book...examines great and fearful events seen through extraordinary lives....Clear and elegant....A most unusual, worthwhile book." (Publishers Weekly)

Title: Shooter Subtitle: The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper Author: Jack Coughlin, Casey Kuhlman, Donald A. Davis Narrator: Dick Hill Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-05 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 509 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Gunnery Sergeant Jack Coughlin is a divorced father of two who grew up in a wealthy Boston suburb. At the age of 19, although he had never even held a gun, he joined the Marines and would spend the next 20 years behind the scope of a long-range precision rifle as a sniper. In that time, he accumulated one of the most successful sniper records in the Corps, ranging through many of the world's hotspots. During Operation Iraqi Freedom alone, he recorded at least 36 kills, 13 of them in a single 24-hour period. Now Coughlin has written a highly personal story about his deadly craft, taking readers deep inside an invisible society that is off-limits to outsiders. This is not a heroic battlefield memoir but the careful study of an exceptional man who must keep his sanity while carrying forward one of the deadliest legacies in the U.S. military today. Critic Reviews: "The 3rd Battalion has a veteran sniper, Staff Sergeant Jack Coughlin, for whom the war in Iraq was only the latest of many wars; he fought in Mogadishu, too. On the first day of battle at the Diyala Bridge, he had 11 kills. He is one of the best snipers in the Marine Corps, perhaps the very best. When I asked one of his commanders about his skills, the commander smiled and said, 'I'm just glad he's on our side.'" (Peter Maas)

From his birth in April 1921, it spans his extraordinary career as actor, playwright, film star, and director, confirming his early belief that he is 'irrevocably betrothed to laughter'. Ustinov's renowned gift for mimicry is exploited to the full in Dear Me. Eccentric relatives, school masters, sergeant majors, and manic Hollywood moguls are all brought unforgettably to life. ©1997 Peter Ustinov; (P)2004 Random House Audiobooks

Title: The Journals of Lewis and Clark Author: Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Nicholas Biddle (ed.) Narrator: Norman Dietz Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: When President Thomas Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Purchase - the vast, unknown lands between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico - he promptly established an expedition to map America's new frontier. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark outfitted the "Corps of Discovery," and on May 14, 1804, 45 men in 3 boats set off up the Mississippi. The trip took 2 years and 4 months, and the record of the expedition contained in the journals of its courageous leaders is a fascinating story of adventure, hardship, and discovery. Excerpted from History of the Lewis and Clark Expedition edited by Nicholas Biddle and narrated by Norman Dietz, The Journals of Lewis and Clark recreates the history and spirit of the men who mapped the frontier. Editorial Reviews: Norman Dietz, named by AudioFile magazine as one of the "Best Voices of the Century", performs the foundational true adventure saga of American history, The Journals of Lewis and Clark. Edited by Nicholas Biddle, the journals are the harrowing, illuminating, and important account of the two-year expedition begun in 1804 by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in an effort to map the vast territory west of the Mississippi and south of Canada. Suffering comrades deaths, Indian confrontations, and experiencing the grandeur and the desolation of the West, The Journals of Lewis and Clark is like a real-life Odyssey set in the young American republic.
