    Gathering of the Titans: The Tol Chronicles, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 596min
    In book two of the Tol Chronicles, the once-thought-mythical race of titans turns out to be not so mythical after all. And as they stream in from all corners of N'plork to occupy their rediscovered underground metropolis, Tol has some very serious peacekeeping to do. That is, when he's not busy being a globe-hopping goblin of justice, chasing a would-be assassin, taking down a pretentious crime boss, and foiling an insidious kidnap plot while coping with too much magic, transdimensional ne'er-do-wells, questionable flying machines, and a frequently interrupted romance. ungekürzt.

    Megadeth: A Rockview Audiobiography, Hörbuch, Digital, 17min
    Megadeth grew from the sacking of Dave Mustaine from Metallica at the end of 1982. Dave was always incredibly outspoken - almost to the point of self destruction. Of Metallica he raged, " I love Metallica's music, but I hate Lars and the super pretentious James Hetfield." You can say what you like about Dave Mustaine and his Megadeth pals, but when it boils down to song writing and turning out superbly produced albums, there are few to touch them.This is not an artist or record company approved music release and sound quality may vary. Dave Ellefson talks freely about Mustain's struggle with booze and his superb writing technique. Language: English. Narrator: Rockview.

    The Mystified Magistrate: And Other Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min
    The great virtue of this volume is that it reveals a lighter, comic side of Sade. He was a man obsessed, like many great writers, and his obsessions are still present here: his hatred of all things pretentious, his loathing of a corrupt judicial system, his damning of hypocrisy and false piety. One of the great anarchists of all time, he was nevertheless far from mad (as many pretended) and these works of fiction shed another light on this most feverish of minds. But however heavy the subject, The Mystified Magistrate is infused with a light touch; it is revealing but never offensive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ken Kliban.

Suddenly, pandemonium strikes when a live mouse jumps out from the serving dish at another table. Unfortunately, the diners are Erskine-Brown with an attractive colleague that he's romancing.

    Lucky Jim
    'A brilliantly and preposterously funny book' Guardian'A flawless comic novel ... I loved it then, as I do now. It has always made me laugh out loud' Helen Dunmore, The TimesJim Dixon has accidentally fallen into a job at one of Britain's new red brick universities. A moderately successful future in the History Department beckons - as long as Jim can stave off the unwelcome advances of fellow lecturer Margaret, survive a madrigal-singing weekend at Professor Welch's, deliver a lecture on 'Merrie England' and resist Christine, the hopelessly desirable girlfriend of Welch's awful son Bertrand. Inspired by Amis's friend, the poet Philip Larkin, Jim Dixon is a timeless comic character, adrift in a hopelessly gauche and pretentious world, in a witty campus novel that skewers the hypocrisies and vanities of 1950s academic life.With an introduction by David Lodge

    Eliza , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 122min
    Eliza was the first volume of the Eliza Stories by Barry Pain (1864-1928). It was published in 1900 and was the first of these stories that appeared in cheap editions and were sold on railway bookstalls. The stories were hugely popular and made Pain's name. Although the book is titled Eliza, it is her husband who is its comic hero. The husband, whose name we never learn, is an overbearing, pretentious prig who believes he is right about everything but is constantly undermined and proved wrong by his long-suffering wife. He is without doubt one of the great comic creations in the tradition of Mr Pooter in The Diary of a Nobody. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Roy Macready.
