20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Ultimate Classics,)173 reviews
Jules Verne
Audio Literature, 1996
Excellent, Updated Translation
For those rereading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea after many years of telling yourself it was time to read it again, you will find William Butcher' translation quite a surprise. Not only quite accurate but you find additional chapters, not found in earlier translations. The sixty pages of "Explanatory Notes" puts a whole new slant on the story.

The 22 Biggest Mistakes Managers Make and How to Correct Them 1 review
James K. Van Fleet
Audio Literature, 1995
The 23rd Mistake
The 23rd Mistake is buying this book. I bought the unabridged audiotape. If you have been to b school, have managed for more than a couple years or manage in a professional service business, do not waste your time with this book. It was all I could do to get through the first tape but since I had spent good money I forced my self to listen to the whole thing. The advice is not only pretty ...

The 50 Greatest Mysteries of All Time 1 review
Audio Literature, 1998
A Lazy Man's Compendium
The lazy man is Penzler. I was caught bookless and had to have something quickly a couple of days ago, so I picked this up on the title alone. I read widely, but my weakness has always been mysteries, preferably of the who-done-it variety with psychological insights. I've read historial and contemporary, procedurals and cozies..lots and lots of English and American writers. So I figured...The 50 ...

The 12th Planet (Earth Chronicles, No 1)168 reviews
Zecharia Sitchin
Audio Literature, 1997
Pioneering Work!!
Consider Dr. Sitchin the godfather of alternative archeology. He dares to explore the impossible, the mystique, the risque, the controvesial and he put his spin on it with a powerful intellect and a perfect luingistic command. His books are spatial-historical encyclopedias and you will enjoy this book. A rich variety of topics from the very depth of ancient history brought back to us under a new ...

The 13 Clocks 35 reviews
James Thurber
Audio Literature, 1994
Watch Out For the Todal, by Rory Haglund
Watch out for the Todal
James Thurber's The Thirteen Clocks is a delightful tale for people of all ages. I was first introduced to this seemingly conventional story at age five when my father read it to me as a pleasant bedtime story. It was not until I could read for myself that I began to notice what sets this story apart from so many other children's stories--its characters and great ...

365 Health and Happiness Boosters4 reviews
M. J. Ryan
Audio Literature, 2000
Increase Your Happiness Now
This little book is chock full of helpful suggestions
from the very "easy to get along with" author, MJ
Ryan. What I love the most about this book is
that Ms. Ryan offers such a variety of ideas AND
she shares ideas that DON'T work for her that
MAY be helpful to you. She doesn't make those
ideas WRONG, she simply says "I don't value
this but many do" such as Walking Meditation... and

C. E. Crimmins, Thomas Maeder
Audio Literature, 1996
I Couln't Stop Laughing!
This is simply a hilarious audio casette. You will laugh so loud that you will disturb the neighbors. I have listened to it five times. And each time, it becomes funnier and funnier. If you are hypersensitive, I wouldn't buy this cassette. The authors really lampoon so many of our favorite icons. Order this audio casette and have the time of your life!

Actual Innocence12 reviews
Barry Siegel
Audio Literature, 1999
Tense courtroom drama
The title of L.A. Times reporter Siegel's second legal thriller refers to an actual legal term intending not only to find fault with the state's case but to prove "actual" innocence. A novel idea.
His series protagonist, successful California defense attorney Greg Monarch might be wiser to refer his emotionally troubled old flame Sarah Trant's death row appeal to someone more neutral, but even ...

Surrender the Pink 13 reviews
Carrie Fisher
Audio Literature, 1990
Funny and eloquently written
I have to say that I didn't know anything about Carrie Fisher before I started reading Surrender the Pink. So I just enjoyed the book without having any preconceived notions about it. For the first 60 pages or so I didn't find the plot all too engaging, but it kind of picked up when Dinah travelled east. What I really enjoyed about this book were the language, mostly the dialogues. There is ...

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Ultimate Classics)357 reviews
Mark Twain
Audio Literature, 1993
American Classic
Twain's Huckleberry Finn has derived much controversy from its use of the "n" word in the dialogue as well as what some believe are stereotyped characters within the novel. As some have noted in defense of Twain, Twain's main object was to portray and depict the typical Southern dialect of this time period, and so his use of the word was to mainly show that this was a common expression used. This ...

Abuse of Power15 reviews
Audio Literature, 1997
The Nixon Legacy.
There is only one word to describe many of these conversations....chilling. Nixon's arrogance and ruthlessness were astounding! What a terrible shock it must have been for men like Haige and Kissinger to learn this was all on tape. That anyone could listen to these tapes and proclaim that Nixon was a good president is unbelievable! Clinton lied about his sex life. That was embarrassing, I agree. ...

Adventures of Brother Cadfael: The Summer of the Danes/Brother Cadfael's Penance/The Heretic's ...1 review
Ellis Peters
Audio Literature, 1996
The best, and not-so best, of Ellis Peters
Ellis Peters has made the medieval mystery novel what it is today, setting high standards not only for historical accuracy but for believable characters, well-thought-out plots, and exquisite writing. Unfortunately, she doesn't always live up to these standards herself. This package comprises some of the high points of the series: Monk's Hood, St. Peter's Fair (which has a far more satisfying ...
