    Stoner & Spaz , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
    For 16-year-old Ben Bancroft - a kid with cerebral palsy, no parents, and an overprotective grandmother - the closest thing to happiness is hunkering alone in the back of the Rialto Theatre and watching Bride of Frankenstein for the umpteenth time. The last person he wants to run into is drugged-up Colleen Minou, resplendent in ripped tights, neon miniskirt, and an impressive array of tattoos.But when Colleen climbs into the seat beside him and rests a woozy head on his shoulder, Ben has that unmistakable feeling that his life is about to change. With unsparing humor and a keen flair for dialogue, Ron Koertge captures the rare repartee between two lonely teenagers on opposite sides of the social divide. His smart, self-deprecating protagonist learns that kindred spirits may be found for the looking - and that the resolve to follow your passion can be strengthened by something as simple as a human touch. ungekürzt.

    The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
    Fans will rejoice as New York's most charming burglar returns to action. Greenwich Village bookseller Bernie Rhodenbarr has perfected the art of breaking and entering, as well as that of clever repartee. Bernie gets plenty of opportunity to exercise both his wit and his lock-picking muscles, as he juggles old friends, new "employees," potential girlfriends, and various criminal charges. Bernie is seriously considering retiring from his life of crime, now that his used bookstore is finally turning a small profit. Then his nasty new landlord raises the rent - by $10,000 a month - and Bernie is hard pressed to resist the temptation to supplement his income. But when a dead body turns up, and an invaluable baseball card collection is missing, who will believe that Bernie had nothing to do with it? Narrator Richard Ferrone's deadpan delivery offers the perfect contrast to Bernie's giddy misadventures. It would be a crime to miss this fabulous performance. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Cabin Pressure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 168min
    Anyone looking to let off some steam is bound to find something to love in Cabin Pressure. The combination of snappy repartee and brilliant voice-acting makes this a side-achingly funny experience from start to finish.  Stephanie Cole ("Doc Martin"), Benedict Cumberbatch and Roger Allam ("The Thick Of It") star in the complete first series of the hit sitcom about the pilots of a tiny charter airline for whom no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult. Written by John Finnemore, writer for The News Quiz, and That Mitchell & Webb Sound. Run by the forbidding divorcée Carolyn Knapp-Shappey (an unfortunate marriage, namewise, but in Carolyn's opinion, marginally better than Carolyn Shappey-Knapp), her two pilots are the smooth, experienced and almost-certainly-fired-by-a-big-airline-for-all-round naughtiness Douglas, and struggling almost-competent pilot and sweaty man Martin. All-round help is provided by Carolyn's near-idiot son, Arthur.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, Benedict Cumberbatch.

    Hemovore , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min
    Mark Hansen thought working as artist's assistant would be glamorous, especially if that artist was a vampire. Black tie events, witty repartee, gracing the pages of the local style section. Didn't happen. Not even once. Jonathan Varga is an enigma. True, he's quiet, generous, and scrupulously polite. But he has zero social life, refuses to be interviewed or photographed, and insists he can only consume feline blood. Why supermarket blood won't suffice, Mark hasn't asked. He's rarely at a loss for words - he can dish an insult and follow it with a snap as quick as you can say "Miss Thang." But one look at Jonathan's black-as-sin gypsy eyes, and Mark's objections drain away. So he endures the perpetual grind of their routine: Jonathan hiding in his studio, swiping black paint onto black canvases. Mark hurling insults while he buffs the office to a shine with antiviral wipes. Each of them avoiding the other in a careful choreography...until a blurb in Art in America unleashes a chain of harrowing events neither of them could foresee. As secrets from Jonathan's past are brought to light, it becomes clear that all his precautions weren't nearly enough. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joel Leslie.

    Run like Hell: The Cassidy Chronicles, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    See how it all got started! See the first steps on their epic journey across the shattered countries of America!JM Leitch, author of The Zul Enigma, said this: "Run like Hell doesn't fall into the weighty adventure sci-fi type of novel I usually choose - it is also a lighthearted futuristic romance - but having said that, it's beefed up with good science and is a well-constructed and well-written book. The main characters are charming and original and dazzle the reader with their quick and witty repartee."Set 100 years in the future, the book opens with the wedding of two female friends - Kendra (Ken) Foster-Briggs, exotic actress and film producer and Aiyana Cassidy (Cass), half Irish/half Native American graduate from MIT with a doctorate in optical engineering, to Derek James, a man of independent means.The only problem is, instead of the reverend marrying them, he pulls a gun on them, forcing them to run like hell. Surviving a second attack, the two ladies leave Derek behind, and after working out Cass is the target, Ken arranges new identities and a safe place for them both to lay low until they can sort out the mess they find themselves in. ungekürzt.

    Pride and Prejudice [Blackstone Audio] , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 688min
    The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby. Mr. Bingley enhances his instant popularity by hosting a ball and taking an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy, Bingley’s even wealthier friend, makes himself equally unpopular by his aloof disdain of country manners. Yet he is drawn, in spite of himself, to the spirited and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet, who proves to be his match in both wit and pride. Their sparkling repartee is a splendid performance of civilized sparring infused with unacknowledged romantic tension. Pride and Prejudice delightfully captures the affectations and rivalries of class-conscious English families in an age when status and security for women hung entirely on matrimonial ambitions. Austen’s characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England. It is also the source of some of the most memorable characters ever written, from the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth is one of the finest comic passages in English literature, to the beloved heroine Elizabeth, whom the author herself deemed “as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carolyn Seymour. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/004186/bk_blak_004186_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
