  When Stetson Jeff Stetson takes some time to think about a clue he picked up in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, he realizes that his hero, Ranger Johnstone, may have hidden some kind of precious cargo that he stole from the Russians in Havana somewhere in Belize. Precious... and potentially lethal. Could it be nukes? Of course it could. But what if the shadow organization A.S.P. beats him to it? Between encounters with sharks and agents from the counter-shadow organization R.A.T.S., will Jeff survive long enough to get out of sunken submarines and a cave with the bones of a male Mayan princess? Will he be able to jump the sharks? And who could possibly come to his aid when he's been betrayed? One thing is for sure, A.S.P. has raised the bar and threatens global security unless Stetson Jeff can beat them to the punch.In the fourth book in the Stetson Jeff Adventures, the authors have taken a silly story and turned a corner. Jeff has become nothing less than a Modern American Tall Tale.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  About the hand of Ermengarde Stubbs, the daughter of a moonshiner and a farmer, two lovers are vying – the landowner Hardman and Ermengarde's childhood friend, Jack Manly. The former, ominous and unscrupulous, desires Ermengarde's hand solely because there is a vein of gold on her parents' estate (of which the landowners are unaware). 
  A parody of Horatio Alger's romantic-adventure novels about achieving the American Dream. It could also mock Fred Jackson, who wrote sentimental stories for "The Argosy" magazine.

  Never give up, especially on yourself. 
  In L.L. Kirchner’s Pushcart-nominated memoir of “resistance and surrender… [the author’s] voice is humble and self-aware” (Kirkus Reviews) as she undertakes a desperate post-divorce search for nirvana, leaving behind university halls in the Persian Gulf for the streets of Manhattan and, ultimately, a sex cult in India. 
  Between the gym her family owned and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner believed she was grounded in all things wellness. But after a tumultuous year in Qatar, which included the discovery that she'd never have children, her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone. 
  Fearing a return to her substance use disorder, she tries to regain trust in the universe through yoga, meditation, chanting, boyfriends, more yoga… Each brings some relief, but her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until illness forces her to reckon with the gift her mother had always given her—hope. 
  In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty — and a second date. 
  What people are saying about Blissful Thinking: 
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings awareness & normalcy to taboo questions about mental health, sex, our life's purpose. -Goodreads Review 
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book felt like a friend cozying up to me and telling her stories of exploration and loss with humor and vulnerability. -Goodreads Review 
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like humorous tales of spirituality seeking, addiction, cults, psychology, and relationship drama of all kinds, you'll love this witty, engaging memoir. -Goodreads Review

  The Ecclesiazusae

  Aristophanes

  In The Ecclesiazusae, Aristophanes presents a biting satire on radical social reform and gender roles in ancient Athens. The play follows a group of women, led by the intelligent Praxagora, who disguise themselves as men to gain entry into the Athenian assembly. Once inside, they pass laws transferring power to women and institute a bold experiment: communal ownership of property and even shared access to spouses, aiming to create an idealized egalitarian society. Through absurd situations, sharp dialogue, and comic exaggeration, Aristophanes explores themes of justice, equality, and the nature of governance. While mocking the notion of utopian socialism, the play also offers a critical reflection on the failures of Athenian democracy and the societal role of women. A provocative blend of humor and political commentary, The Ecclesiazusae challenges contemporary norms with Aristophanes’ signature wit and theatrical flair.

  Slowness - A Novel

  Milan Kundera

  ""Irresistible. . . . Slowness is an ode to sensuous leisure, to the enjoyment of pleasure rather than just the search for it."" — Mirabella 
  Milan Kundera's lightest novel, a divertimento, an opera buffa, Slowness is also the first of this author's fictional works to have been written in French. 
  Disconcerted and enchanted, the reader follows the narrator of Slowness through a midsummer's night in which two tales of seduction, separated by more than two hundred years, interweave and oscillate between the sublime and the comic. 
  Underlying this libertine fantasy is a profound meditation on contemporary life: about the secret bond between slowness and memory, about the connection between our era's desire to forget and the way we have given ourselves over to the demon of speed. And about ""dancers"" possessed by the passion to be seen, for whom life is merely a perpetual show emptied of every intimacy and every joy.
