Summary

America’s favorite comic strip heroine navigates the perils of being a modern woman in this hilarious collection. 
 
By now, we’re all familiar with Cathy’s battles among the four basic guilt groups: food, Mom, love, and career. Women can identify with Cathy Guisewite’s hilarious portrayal of the universal struggles of modern femininity. A confirmed chocoholic, Cathy often consoles herself with one more trip to the fridge, then pays for it with frightening excursions in department store dressing rooms. Mom pushes Cathy to find the man who will give her grandchildren. As for her career, Cathy struggles to be a superstar, even though her desk looks like a disaster area. 
 
In fact, Cathy’s all-too-recognizable life is what endears her to devoted readers. Her countless fans look on their cartoon heroine as a best friend, someone who really knows the trials and tribulations of the working single woman. From Internet dating to Christmas catalog fiascoes, from winter-flu one-upmanship at the office to kitchen technique discussions with Mom, Cathy puts her finger on the kinds of situations that women face in their real lives on a daily basis. In this Cathy collection, I’d Scream Except I Look So Fabulous, our favorite cartoon character once again shows why her popularity soars. Who can’t relate to the discomfort fashion sometimes dictates in order to be trendy.

    The Beloved Vagabond is a 1906 novel written by William John Locke. It is the most famous work of Locke. In nineteenth century France an architect decides to disguise himself as a tramp.  Excerpt from the book:  "It is the story of Paragot, the belovéd vagabond—please pronounce his name French-fashion—and if I obtrude myself on your notice it is because I was so much involved in the medley of farce and tragedy which made up some years of his life, that I don't know how to tell the story otherwise. To Paragot I owe everything. He is at once my benefactor, my venerated master, my beloved friend, my creator. Clay in his hands, he moulded me according to his caprice, and inspired me with the breath of life. My existence is drenched with the colour of Paragot. I lay claim to no personality of my own, and any obiter dicta that may fall from my pen in the course of the ensuing narrative are but reflections of Paragot's philosophy. Men have spoken evil of him. I propose to write his apologia."

    In Best Sister Ever we meet Martin, hard at work in an empty office, dismantling the company he has built from the ground up. His bankruptcy cost him his life's work and his marriage. With hardly any money left, he retreats to a small cottage somewhere in the woods in Holland. 
His sister Kate, 16 years his junior, finds him there and takes him to London. She hooks him up with a job in showbusiness and so begins a mad, hilarious and occasionally erotic adventure, in which Martin meets several amazing women who do much to rebuild his confidence. Martin ends up on stage and as a TV sidekick, but will he get back his IT career? And what is Kate's secret? 
You'll laugh until you cry over this immensely funny and deeply touching romance story, of a love that truly lasts a lifetime. Prepare to fall in love, because once you have met Kate, Melody, Martin and their friends, you will want to live in their world. 
This mildly erotic but mostly outrageously funny romp dazzled Literotica readers and has inspired seven more books to date. Ron Dudderie is a comedy genius, who effortlessly switches between heart stopping drama and riotous fun. 
This audiobook is slightly abridged, to make it accessible to a broader audience.
