Title: Rotten Evidence: Reading and Writing in an Egyptian Prison

Author: Ahmed Naji

Narrator: Michael Rahhal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:23:48

Language: English

Release date: 08-27-24

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

In February 2016, Ahmed Naji was sentenced to two years in prison for violating public decency, after an excerpt of his novel Using Life reportedly caused a reader to experience heart palpitations. Naji ultimately served ten months of that sentence, in a group cellblock in Cairos Tora Prison.

Rotten Evidence is a chronicle of those months. Through Najis writing, the world of Egyptian prison comes into vivid focus, with its cigarette-based economy, homemade chess sets, and well-groomed fixers. Najis storytelling is lively and uncompromising, filled with rare insights into both the mundane and the grand questions he confronts.

How does one secure a steady supply of fresh vegetables without refrigeration?

Write and revise a novel in a single notebook? Make a wall hook out of a razor?

Fight boredom? And, most crucially, how does one make sense of a senseless oppression: finding oneself in prison for the act of writing fiction. Genuine and defiant, this book stands as a testament to the power of the creative mind in the face of authoritarian censorship.

Ahmed Naji confronts what happens when ones fundamentally unserious, oversexed youth dovetails with an authoritarian, utterly self-serious regime.Zadie Smith, author of The Fraud

Title: Watford Forever: How Graham Taylor and Elton John Saved a Football Club, a Town and Each Other

Author: Elton John, John Preston

Narrator: Alex Jennings

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:23:10

Language: English

Release date: 08-27-24

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, Sports & Recreation, Europe, Soccer

Summary:

The unforgettable story of Watford Football Clubs seemingly impossible rise from the Fourth to the First Division, led by the unlikely duo of Hornets manager Graham Taylor and rock starturned-owner, Elton John.

Long before English soccer became an American passion, Watford Football Cluba team located in a working-class industrial town that time and prosperity had passed bylanguished at the bottom of the English Football League. Despite their pitiful record, the club enthralled a local boy by the name of Reginald Dwight, who began attending games with his father, an avid fan, in 1953.

More than twenty years later, having shed his given name, Elton John had become the most successful rock star in the world. With his six-inch platforms, spangled jumpsuits, and peroxide-colored hair, Elton was glamorous, gay, and seemingly a universe away from the village where he had supported Watford FC, yet his boyhood love of Watford and its dogged players remained. When tempted to buy the sputtering team in 1976, everyone begged Elton not to invest, but they were his team, as they were his fathers, and he refused to believe that Watford was beyond redemption.

Watford Forever, then, is the remarkable account of Elton Johns ownership of Watford FC, and its transformational journey to the top of the First Division under iconic manager Graham Taylor, who was, in the words of award-winning journalist John Preston, as traditional as Elton was unconventional. Inspiring, funny, and ultimately heartrending, this is a tribute to soccers unlikeliest duo as Elton and Taylora straight-talking former fullback with literally no interest in rock musicboth beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a community.

Immersed in the grit of Seventies Britain, Watford Forever tells the story of this indissoluble bond, revealing how the power of sports and respect for the other brought about a reclamation whose reverberations can be felt to this day.

Summary:

Morley Swingles Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom.I highly recommend this engrossing book.Vincent Bugliosi, Author of Helter Skelter

In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor who is also a terrific storyteller shares more than thirty legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Morley Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system from crime scenes to courtrooms.

Swingle takes readers on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment. Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who saves lives in his day job, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humorand shares the occasional Perry Mason moment.'

If Tom Wolfes Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels surely captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.Robert H. Dierker, Jr.

Swingle has written an interesting, easily approachableand rareaccount of daily life as a prosecuting attorney.I am unaware of any prosecutor who writes better than Swingle.The book is refreshing.Mark Twain almost certainly would have enjoyed it.Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer.Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.Forward, Reviews of Indie Books

Those who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham will enjoy this book.Lithuanian Librarian

Title: Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passage

Author: Chris Bruno

Narrator: Chris Bruno

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:00:01

Language: English

Release date: 08-24-24

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Health & Wellness, Men's Health, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

All men must reckon with midlife. The time comes for every man where he realizes the morning of his life will soon turn towards afternoon. There is just as much behind as there is ahead, and the passage into a new season is about to begin. But many men have little sense of what this new season could or should entail, and we struggle knowing how to navigate it. We lack a vision for what it means to become a godly 'Sage.'

The manhood journey is cyclical rather than linear, and the further along we travel, we find ourselves once again at the beginning. To truly become a Sage, we must go deeper and in reverse to recover those parts of us we exiled, forgot, lost, or never fully knew. Men who successfully navigate midlife emerge with a vision for who God originally made them to be. But men who go on living their lives without an awareness of their own deep need for this intentional work simply grow old, believing their best years are behind them rather than ahead. To become a Sage is the highest calling of God on men. It is the pinnacle of manhood, and yet the vast majority of men settle for a too-small story as they pass the midlife mark. This passage into the second half is God's invitation to His bigger story.

If the task of the first passage is to find the man within the boy and call him forth, the task of the second passage is to find the boy within the man and bring him home.

Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passageinvites men into an intentional journey through midlife and into the Sage.

Julian Jilly Tetanich is a retired mafia contract killer who now owns a Pittsburgh bar full of colorful characters and whose best friend happens to be a slightly lapsed fantasy football-loving Catholic priest. When rogue Archangel Uriel descends from above with his God Squad sidekicks, they try to enlist Jilly to perform one more hit and save his immortal soul. All Hell breaks loose as the forces of good and evil prepare for this comedic showdown. Jilly will have to decide whether he should stick to his guns or dust them off one last time.
