Title: How to Murder Your Life

Author: Cat Marnell

Narrator: Cat Marnell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-02-17

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

At the age of 15, Cat Marnell unknowingly set out to murder her life. After a privileged yet emotionally starved childhood in Washington, she became hooked on ADHD medication provided by her psychiatrist father. This led to a dependence on Xanax and other prescription drugs at boarding school, and she experimented with cocaine, ecstasy - whatever came her way. By 26 she was a talented 'doctor shopper' who manipulated Upper East Side psychiatrists into giving her never-ending prescriptions; her life had become a twisted merry-go-round of parties and pills at night and trying to hold down a high-profile job at Condé Nast during the day. With a complete lack of self-pity and an honesty that is almost painful, Cat describes the crazed euphoria, terrifying comedowns and horrendous guilt she feels lying to those who try to help her. Writing in a voice that is utterly magnetic - prompting comparisons to Bret Easton Ellis and Charles Bukowski - she captures something essential about both her generation and our times. Profoundly divisive and controversial, How to Murder Your Life is a unforgettable, charged account of a young female addict so close to throwing her entire life away.

In his quest to find adventure, Crawford undertook a savage journey of danger, drugs, sex, and alarming illness. What resulted is The Gringo: one part literary tale of two lonely years in the Amazon jungle and one part gonzo-journalism account of life in the Peace Corps, an agency wandering aimlessly through the 21st century. Filled with sharp humor and eye-opening observations about the human condition, this is an unforgettable story that grabs the listener and doesn't let go.

Titel: Winston Churchill: Der späte Held

Autor:: Thomas Kielinger

Erzähler: Gert Heidenreich

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 13 hrs and 22 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 12-08-16

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill - ein Jahrhundertpolitiker. Und eine "Marke", die der Meister der Selbstinszenierung gekonnt in Szene setzte. Die Utensilien: Zigarre, Gehrock, die Kollektion seiner Hüte und Zylinder, der rote Morgenmantel. Sein Zeichen: das V-Siegesfingerzeichen.

"Wir sind doch alle Würmer. Aber ich glaube, ich bin ein Glühwurm", hat Churchill (1874-1965) in jungen Jahren einmal verkündet. Als Mitglied des englischen Hochadels erhielt er eine militärische Ausbildung und versuchte, talentiert und ehrgeizig, in die Fußstapfen seines berühmten Vorfahren, des Herzogs von Marlborough zu treten. In Englands Kolonialkriegen kämpfte er als Soldat, wurde Kriegsberichterstatter, erlebte und überlebte Abenteuer und saß mit 25 Jahren im britischen Unterhaus.

Thomas Kielinger würdigt in dieser Biographie das "Allroundgenie": den Politiker, der fast jeden Ministerposten seines Landes innehatte, den zweifachen Premierminister, aber auch den Maler, den charismatischen Redner, den Schriftsteller, der 1953 den Nobelpreis für Literatur erhielt, und den Ehemann und Vater. Der innige Briefwechsel zwischen Churchill und seiner Frau Clementine lassen noch einen ganz anderen Aspekt aufblitzen.

Und dann kam der Zweite Weltkrieg. 1939 holte Chamberlain den fast 65jährigen Churchill ins Kabinett. Churchill rief sofort zum entscheidenden Widerstand gegen Hitler-Deutschland auf, "um die ganze Welt vor der Pestilenz der Nazi-Tyrannei zu bewahren" und führte sein Land bis zum siegreichen Kriegsende.

50 Jahre nach Churchills Tod erzählt Thomas Kielinger einfühlsam und fesselnd die wechselvolle Lebensgeschichte dieser faszinierenden Persönlichkeit.

Meet Woody. Former journalist. Die-hard Oasis fan. High energy. Low sperm count. Training to be a vicar. Obviously.

In them he lays bare his joys and struggles as he attempts to reconcile his calling as a vicar with his life as a party-loving journalist, footie-freak, and incorrigible extrovert.

Becoming Reverend is a compelling and original account of how faith can work in the midst of a messy life, combining family, fertility, faith, and friendship with the story of a divine - but unlikely - calling.
