    A Book About Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
    Science writer Jonah Lehrer explores the mysterious subject of love. Weaving together scientific studies from clinical psychologists, longitudinal studies of health and happiness, historical accounts and literary depictions, child-rearing manuals, and the language of online dating sites, Jonah Lehrer's A Book About Love plumbs the most mysterious, most formative, most important impulse governing our lives. Love confuses and compels us - and it can destroy and define us. It has inspired our greatest poetry and defined our societies and our beliefs, and it governs our biology. From the way infants attach to their parents to the way we fall in love with other people to the way some find a love for God or their pets to the way we remember and mourn love after it ends, this book focuses on research that attempts, even in glancing ways, to deal with the long-term and the everyday. The most dangerous myth of love is that it's easy, that we fall into the feeling, and then the feeling takes care of itself. While we can easily measure the dopamine that causes the initial feelings of "falling" in love, the partnerships and devotions that last decades or longer remain a mystery. This book is about that mystery. Love, Lehrer argues, is not built solely on overwhelming passion but, fascinatingly, on a set of skills to be cultivated over a lifetime. ungekürzt.

    Carl has had the week from hell, and when a weird old lady tries to talk to him at the bus stop on a Friday night, it is the last straw. Maybe, he is a little rude to her, but so what? She seems nuts, anyway, fingers covered in silver rings in bizarre shapes and hair skewered with a wicked-looking pin.“You wouldn’t last one day as a lady, you mark my words” she says ominously.All he wants is a quiet weekend to relax, but the first thing he hears when he wakes up the next morning is his girlfriend demanding to know who the hell he is and what he’s done with her boyfriend.“Abby, I’m your boyfriend. Remember? Do you remember?”“How can you be my boyfriend when you’re a woman?” demanded Abby, her voice frosty now.Carl still had no idea what was going on. “A...woman?” He noticed for the first time that his own voice was different. It was higher. Glancing down at his hands again, he realized what exactly was different about them. They looked more delicate. They looked more feminine.Now, Carla is about to embark on a weekend of figuring out how to handle her new body, and after the initial bumpy landing, her girlfriend Abby is only too happy to join her in that project.

    Bad Boy Erotica: Enticing the Bad Boy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min, (USK 18)
    She stared at the reflection of the woman in the mirror, turning this way and that, and watching the way the bedroom lights glinted off everything from her silver halter-style gown to her freshly manicured nails. The expensive clothes, the real jewelry - things she had never owned her entire life - did nothing to make Sarah feel at home in the role she was about to play. She was about to be a rich woman on the prowl, and it just wasn't her. She didn't want it to be her. But she didn't have a choice. Turning away from the mirror, she took a deep breath and grabbed the Prada clutch off the bed. She'd anticipated this moment for weeks. This was it. Glancing around the luxurious hotel suite on her way to the door, she tried not to think about just how much money she was spending on the damn suite. It was beautiful, of course, all 1,432 square feet of rich solid woods, sumptuous fabrics and expensive artwork - though an abstract painting of random color splotches wasn't exactly her idea of fine artistry. But what did she know? She'd only submersed herself in this ridiculous world 36 hours ago; a world of people with far too much money and nothing better to do than show it off, in her opinion....

    Roaring to Go: Becoming Me, Part 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min, (USK 18)
    She had my chain in her hand and she kissed me. I thought that I was immune to those kinds of womanly charms, but apparently I was just waiting for the right woman to come around to grab me by the throat. I felt the robe open up and she took a step back to admire my body from afar. She still held my hand and she spun me around for her amusement. Adrian had said his piece and was now more than content to watch this display of Sapphic love. It wasn't necessarily love. This was just a physical need that was burning up inside me to taste her wolf and the woman that it was attached to. She took me by the hand and I went with her willingly, glancing over my shoulder to see that Adrian was smiling and following along. I could tell that he was aroused and that was pretty damn evident from his pulsing manhood. He couldn't lie to me or August. He liked the idea of a three-way dance. We went up the stairs and it didn't look like she was going to take no for an answer. That was the one thing that she probably had in common with Dexter. It was too bad that she was not one that sired me. If she did, I probably would have gladly submitted to her will and be damn happy about it. Warning - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is not suitable for all ages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leigh DeSalles.

    Clinical psychologist and Georgetown University PhD research student Joey "G" Weston has a passion for Oneirology - the study and analysis of dreams. But that passion proves to be a doubled-edged sword when word gets out that G has discovered and demonstrated the ability to consciously manipulate and freely move about in his dreams. Things heat up as news of his abilities goes viral and entices various governmental agencies to pursue him in an attempt to exploit him...or eliminate him altogether. G quickly discovers the power, tenacity, and unfettered reach of the US Government as he is sequestered by one agency, only to be rescued by yet another, in a quest to validate, test, and exploit his abilities - all in the interest of national security and covert advantage. G eventually finds that he is not the only one who possesses the ability to travel about and manipulate his dreams when he continues to cross paths with one man who seems to be aware of G's presence while dreaming. The two share glancing encounters at first but eventually confront each other in the alter-conscious domain. G discovers the man to be none other than Khalid Abdul-Hakim, the world's most wanted terrorist. Hakim is none too happy that he has been discovered and is driven to eliminate the one man who can track his movements and thwart his motivations. In a world where nothing is as it first appears, this clandestine novel brings both reality and alter-reality together in support of parallel storylines that merge into a fascinating ending that leads G to a final encounter with Hakim where he discovers how to rid the world of the elusive terrorist mastermind inside the dream state. ungekürzt.

    Hallowed Ground , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
    She died, Chessie said. "She died, rose, and nearly died again. She comes. The crows know her - the crows guide her. She follows the sound of a crying child. She follows the drag of un-kept promises on her heart." - Chessie - Hallowed Ground "They came in the night with their creak-wheeled wagons and patchwork tents, rolling down through the gulch and up the other side to pitch camp. In Rookwood, they called it 'Dead man's Gulch,' and in Rookwood, names were important. If you walked too far through that God-forsaken, dust-drowned ditch, you were bound to drag your boots through bones. If you felt something sharp dig into your heel, it could be a tooth taking a last bite of something hot and living. The Deacon stood in silent shadows watching their progress, occasionally glancing up into the pale, inadequate light of the waning moon." When a man known only as The Deacon set up camp outside Rookwood, a murder of crows took to unnatural, moonlit flight. The crows came to Rookwood; trouble soon to follow. Things were already strange in that God-forsaken town, but no one could have predicted the forces and fates about to meet in a dust-bowl clearing in the desert. A Preacher. A Demon. An Angel. A Gunslinger. From Steven Savile, International bestselling author of Silver, The Last Angel, and The Sufferer's Song, and David Niall Wilson, Bram Stoker Award-winner David Niall Wilson, author of Deep Blue, This is My Blood, & Heart of a Dragon, comes a tale of the old west, magic, enlightenment and damnation readers have said is like Stephen King's The Gunslinger meets Daniel Knauf's Carnivale ungekürzt.

    Purity: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1500min
    A magnum opus for our morally complex times from the author of Freedom. Young Pip Tyler doesn't know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she's saddled with $130,000 in student debt, that she's squatting with anarchists in Oakland, and that her relationship with her mother - her only family - is hazardous. But she doesn't have a clue who her father is, why her mother chose to live as a recluse with an invented name, or how she'll ever have a normal life. Enter the Germans. A glancing encounter with a German peace activist leads Pip to an internship in South America with The Sunlight Project, an organization that traffics in all the secrets of the world - including, Pip hopes, the secret of her origins. TSP is the brainchild of Andreas Wolf, a charismatic provocateur who rose to fame in the chaos following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now on the lam in Bolivia, Andreas is drawn to Pip for reasons she doesn't understand, and the intensity of her response to him upends her conventional ideas of right and wrong. Purity is a grand story of youthful idealism, extreme fidelity, and murder. The author of The Corrections and Freedom has imagined a world of vividly original characters - Californians and East Germans, good parents and bad parents, journalists and leakers - and he follows their intertwining paths through landscapes as contemporary as the omnipresent Internet and as ancient as the war between the sexes. Purity is the most daring and penetrating book yet by one of the major writers of our time. This audiobook includes a bonus conversation with the author. ungekürzt. Language: English.
