Title: An Accidental Life

Subtitle: A Collection of Musings and Writings from the Wreckage

Author: Pete Geissler

Narrator: Richard Henzel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-19-16

Publisher: The Expressive Press

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

When I bounced the idea of An Accidental Life off Jim Browne, my financial manager with a keen understanding of the human condition, he said that all of us benefit from serendipity, from the accidental life. (We in fact met by happy accident.) He added that my life was and is typical, or perhaps a tad off the norm. Surely he's correct in that we all benefit from fortuitous events, but I think he's incorrect in that such events in my life are typical or normal. I feel quite strongly, and without a scintilla of evidence, that I outrank most other people in both number and impact of life-changing events, or, perhaps, I am just more aware of them. I'm betting that you'll agree after you hear about the many accidental happenings that shaped my life and, by extension, my writings. Enjoy and, I hope, relate.

Title: Stereoless in Seattle

Subtitle: Why I Tried to Unionize Car Stereo Installers and Failed

Author: Jon Keehner

Narrator: Charlie Ahl

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-16

Publisher: ZCT LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The car stereo industry in many consumers' minds ranks up there just above the used car business.

But should it?

Stereoless in Seattle: Why I Tried to Unionize Car Stereo Installers and Failed takes a light-hearted look at the car stereo industry through the eyes of someone who lived it for the better part of 25 years.

It is a revealing, humorous, and sometimes shocking perspective on the car stereo business, as well as a foreshadowing testament to the future of skilled labor in America.

Anyone who has ever worked for a living will find something they can appreciate in this book!

Members Reviews:

Great read.

As an installer from the late 90's on up I can relate to so much in this book. Also having worked for the same company many years later in sales and management, I can say that all of it is true even to this day. A true to life glimpse into the fast paced world of mobile electronics, complete with substance abuse, employee abuse, and corporate politics. I couldn't put it down.

Great Read. Great piece of Seattle 12volt History.

Once I started reading this book, I could not stop reading it. Growing up in the 12volt industry in Seattle, I knew a lot of these stories from one side or another but is was awesome to hear it from the horses mouth. ANYONE that has worked in the Car Stereo business in Western Washington should read this book, anyone that has ever worked on a car should read this book.

I was riveted the whole time and laughing to the point of tears more than once.

Thank You for writing a great record of our youth!----BZ

My husband has a car stereo installer and he enjoyed this book and has even passed it along to friends. Definitely very interesting and a must to read.

Thanks for the memories Jon!!

This was a great read. I was one of the young salesman that had the pleasure of working with Jon. I actually knew many of these people, and shared many of these experiences. This book brings back many excellent memories and also shed light on what was really going on behind the curtain during the golden age of mobile electronics.

Great read, once I started I could not put it down. Great job Jon in bringing to light the crookedness of the corporate world. Being Keehner's assistant manager at the time this took place, reading this book brings back a lot of memories. As the corporate world takes over, the 12volt industry will never be the same as it was in the 90's. Congratulations Jon in following through with your dreams. JH773

Et forsg p - med hans eget liv som eksempel - at forklare hvad Hells Angels str for, og hvad HA-broderskabet betyder. Samtidig er det en jenvidneberetning, et tidsdokument fra dengang i firserne hvor Hells Angels for alvor kom i offentlighedens - og i saerdeleshed mediernes - sgelys i Danmark.

Det er historien om de kbenhavnske motorcykelklubbers bandekrige. Fra knallerter til maskinpistoler. Fra naevekamp p gadehjrner og i barer til mord.

MIT LIV udkom frste gang i 1985 og er siden genoptrykt i adskillige oplag. Forfatteren har til denne nye, let reviderede udgave forsynet bogen med et nyskrevet forord.

Title: Settling In

Subtitle: At Home in My Sky

Author: Rebecca McLendon

Narrator: Leigh Townes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-04-16

Publisher: Rebecca McLendon

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

"Most pilots over the age of 30 remember Gordon Baxter, who wrote the 'Bax Seat' column in Flying Magazine for over 25 years. 'Bax' could paint a word picture of the romance and joy of flight like no other. Well, a new Gordon Baxter has been born! This time it is a female version of him, and her name is Rebecca McLendon! Becky's latest book, Settling In: At Home in My Sky is a sequel to her first book, The Day I Grew Wings, which was excellent, but as a pilot, I felt that there was something missing in it. She was a student pilot at the time and was thinking, Do I really have what it takes to be a pilot? I can say Becky does have what it takes to be a pilot. She has come of age as a pilot. Becky now writes with authority on the subject of flying while still incorporating the romance and joy Baxter portrayed. Some of her expressions remind me a lot of him. Settling In: At Home in My Sky is Becky's signature book. It is a motivational study for any person who is thinking about flying, especially young girls who wonder if there is a place for them in aviation. It is also a great review for old aviators like me, who may have forgotten what it took to get where we got." (Mike Trahan, Delta 767 captain, retired)

Members Reviews:

Reading my mind!

Sharing her love for flying, Becky encourages her friends, like me, to do the same while reminding us of our responsibilities to our passengers and the "Pilot Nation". Another great job friend!

Title: Poking Chocolates & Other Rude Habits (en route to the Sweet Life)

Author: Cia Chester McKoy, Nancy W. Unsworth

Narrator: Cia Chester McKoy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-09-15

Publisher: Cia Chester McKoy

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Spiced with compelling anecdotes, Poking Chocolates tracks the author as she bumps into the rich, odd and famous in search of the sweet life.

With Stevie Wonder on the radio, Costa and I sang our way into Harvard Square, parked illegally and scoured bulletin boards looking for cheap housing. Unhampered by the drag of tradition, we were soaring helium balloons. Delighted to be free!

After an inspiring eight months with me, the man who had shared my bed and life decided he was definitely gay. I'd always been a fierce champion of personal freedom, so why would I feel crushed?

Needing a diversion after Costa left, I met with a handful of writers that summer in the home of Anne Sexton, a Pulitzer-Prize winning poet. When I'd left home at 17, Princeton had been a stimulating pit stop, but it left me hungry. Not one of my college professors seemed to care about my enlightenment. Sexton was famous for a sexy brand of alchemy, digging deep for what was true and transforming her lousy love life into passionate poetry. Had I stumbled on an all-purpose mentor?

Heading out on a quest for she's-not-sure-what, the author leaves her Kennedy-esque life of easy privilege to find the More she couldn't quite define. Whether slicing spam for Grandma Grunt on Martha's Vineyard or eating coddled eggs with Lady Chichester in London, whether tripping on MDA in her mother's garden or scrapping for justice in a courtroom, the cross-cultural puddle jumping lands her in dozens of unexpected territories, both ideological and geographical. Funny and fast-paced, Cia's serendipitous tour leads to an encounter on a country road in England that upends her life.

Figuring It Out

I enjoyed this very honest autobiography about a very honest individual who is amusing, eccentric, bigger-than-life, and at the same time thought-provoking. Cia Chester's escapades made me smile, laugh out loud, and ponder - sometimes all three on one page. Watch out, though. Judging from my experience, the story of her transformation just might happen to you.

Great read!

Well written. Highly engaging, You will not want to put the book down, and when you come to the end, will want more. Nice update chapter by the co-author at the back of the book.

Buy it now :)

Great read!

Reading this book for a summer reading program. It is funny and engaging. The author is a delight. Wonderful sharing of her life experiences. .

You will meet a very surprising person!

Welcome Cia. I loved the book. I found myself laughing out loud. I want to read the next book& poetry.

Titel: Adolf Hitler Teil 1: Die Jahre bis 1939 (Menschen, Mythen, Macht)

Autor:: Clemens von Lengsfeld

Erzähler: Gert Heidenreich

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 3 hrs and 35 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-02-15

Herausgeber: Griot Hörbuchverlag GmbH

Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Adolf Hitler wird in diesem Hörbuch nicht als menschenabgehobenes Monster dargestellt, sondern als einer, der in Mittäterschaft mit vielen Millionen das Menschenmögliche möglich gemacht hat. Das Werk beleuchtet das Geflecht aus Tätern, Mitläufern, Opfern und spürt einer Gemeinschaft von Profiteuren nach, die sich in unterschiedlichsten Kreisen an dem Unrecht bereichert haben.

Hitler traf mit seiner NSDAP-Clique auf eine Bevölkerung, die in der autoritätsgläubigen Gesellschaft des Kaiserreichs sozialisiert worden war und deren Väter noch auf den "Mythos Bismarck" eingeschworen waren - jenen "eisernen Kanzler", der Deutschland mit unnachgiebigem Führungswillen von einer ursprünglichen Nicht-Nation zu einer Nation zusammengeschweißt hatte. Traumatisiert von der Vernichtungsindustrie des Ersten Weltkrieges, empfand die nachgewachsene Generation den Versailler Friedensvertrag als Schmach. Die Mehrzahl war zudem von den als unfähig geschmähten Regierungen der Weimarer Republik enttäuscht.

Nur allzu gerne, dies alles abstreifend, war man darum bereit, dem prophetisierenden Gebell des ehemaligen Kleinbürgers aus dem österreichischen Waldviertel zu glauben und diesem willig Gefolgschaft zu leisten.

Title: We Bombed in New London

Subtitle: The Inside Story of the Broadway Musical Late Nite Comic

Author: Brian Gari

Narrator: Brian Gari

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-30-15

Publisher: Waterlogg Productions

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

We Bombed in New London tells the true story of one man's tenacious fight to get his musical mounted. From its romantic inception to its eventual demise and then the score's resurrection in cabarets and recordings, this audiobook takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of the theatrical world with all its excitement, disappointment, laughter, and hope.

Packed with memories, this book documents composer/lyricist Brian Gari's minute-by-minute development of his musical. Fortunately, he saved every scrap of paper, tape, and calendar to account accurately for why and when certain steps were taken that eventually led to the sad dissolution of this promising musical.

Members Reviews:

Interesting but bitter

Bought this during the discount sale and glad I did as after listening then listened to CD of the show. Wasn't that bad but as someone who goes regularly to theatre I can hear the flaws and it's a nice score. The book gives you a good insight into the life and painful death of a musical that perhaps could have been better off Broadway due to inexperienced people.

Title: Farewell to the East End

Author: Jennifer Worth

Narrator: Anne Reid

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-26-15

Publisher: Orion Publishing Group

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The hit BBC TV series Call the Midwife is based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, chronicling her life as a midwife in London in the 1950s. Farewell to the East End is the third book in the trilogy. Following on from the best-selling Call the Midwife and Shadows of the Workhouse, Jennifer brings her story to a conclusion.

Postwar life could be a struggle - the devastating effects of TB, dangerous backstreet abortions, people driven to extremes by poverty...but there was also warmth and humour.

Like Megan'mave, the identical twins who share the same browbeaten husband; the eccentric Sister Monica Joan; and gauche debutante Chummy, who wants to be a missionary. Farewell to the East End shines a light on the lives, culture and stories of a bygone era and is both moving and heartwarming in equal measure.

Members Reviews:

Superb; recommend the "trilogy"

If anyone has watched the Masterpiece Theater's "Call the Midwife" that's on television right now and wanted more in-depth information about the TV characters, I highly recommend this series. Aside from the writing itself, which flows naturally and is an enjoyable read, this book follows the series very closely and goes into much more depth about the characters on the show, the lives of the midwives and nuns, and about what life and midwifery was like in the East End in the 50s. Not that married (or even unmarried for that matter) women had much of a choice about being pregnant in that time, they all deserve kudos for their bravery and endurance. As a woman living in modern times and in which birth control methods are readily accessible (at least in my state; given the direction of some legislation, I no longer take birth control for granted), as are hospitals with sterile equipment, well-trained doctors and nurses, and pain-numbing medication(!) available, I cannot imagine giving birth under the conditions these women did. I hope we never go back TO a time like that, frankly. Birth is a miracle, and pregnancy wondrous, but it is also always an unknown risk, so kudos to mothers everywhere, then and now.

Worth is worth reading

It's hard to say whether the writing or the story itself is the best thing about Jennifer Worth. Her prose is rich and delicious, and the true stories are so compelling that even a lesser writer could tell and sell them. But Worth has it all, and this and her few other books are like a gourmet meal. How sad that such a gifted writer left us so early. She captured poorest London from its Dickins-era roots to to its post-war uprooting, preserving the flavor, the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful of the place and its people.

Wonderful and enlightening!

This last of the trilogy by Jennifer Worth about working as a midwife and nurse in the east end of London in the fifties, did not disappoint. The characters feel like family and the reader feels like a fly on the wall as the decades slip away. The sole fault with the entire series is; that it came to an end!

More Detail than the novel

This edition goes into much more detail than the novel, "Call the Midwife." You'll learn more about the patients that were treated and the lifestyle of that time. It's highly recommended if you crave more of a "Midwife" fix.

Farewell to the East End

Real-life portrayal of the poorest of the poor in post-war Londaon was captivating, enthralling and page-turning for me.
