  The celebrated author of The Age of Innocence offers a biting satire of Jazz Age society in this tale of indulgence, infidelity, and family dysfunction. Nona Manford is in love with the wrong man—or at least, she’s in love with a man whose wife won’t grant a divorce. When she isn’t preoccupied with her own romantic dilemma, Nona is busy trying to save the marriage of her stepbrother, Jim. But Jim’s wife, Lita, is desperate to escape her domestic role for a life of dancing, champagne, and glamour. And meanwhile, the family’s older generation isn’t faring much better.  An instant bestseller when it was first published in 1927, Edith Wharton’s Twilight Sleep is both a scathing satire of Jazz Age frivolity and a psychologically probing portrait of a family coming apart at the seams.

  Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles Stoddard are the four San Francisco Bohemian writers of the 1860s who set the course for American literature. This Mark Twain Valentine audiobook tells the story of their love triangle. 
  Mark Twain made sure that his full true-life story would not be told for 100 years after his death, so this story has never been heard publicly before! 
  Make a date with your sweetheart to listen​ in!  
  Mark Twain became a credited author for the first time while in San Francisco, a hundred years before the Summer of Love, with the publication of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain and the other San Francisco Bohemian writers were in their twenties at the time. The de Young brothers were in their teens when they started the San Francisco Chronicle with Mark Twain as a reporter! 
  Bret Harte was the leader and mentor of San Francisco’s Bohemian writers, and Mark Twain competed with Bret for the attention of the enchanting poet Ina Coolbrith.​ This is the story of how that turned out​... details kept from the public for over 160 years. 
  Ina held salons in her home on Russian Hill for her Bohemian friends and their patrons, which became the foundation for the Bohemian Club. Ina later became Oakland’s first librarian (where she mentored Jack London) and became the first poet laureate of any state. But the love triangle occurred during an earlier, more tumultuous time as the American Civil War was being brought to a close and San Francisco grew in sophistication. 
  This two-hour audiobook is important California history told with the droll sarcasm unique to Mark Twain. It should not be missed!

  An outrageous "novel" by the author of I Smell Esther Williams.In this fiendishly original novel, Mark Leyner is a leather-blazer-wearing, Piranha 793-driving, narcotic-guzzling monster who has potential rivals eliminated by his bionically enhanced bodyguards, has his internal organs tattooed, and eavesdrops on the erotic fantasies of Victoria's Secret models–fantasies that naturally revolve around him. Leyner's jet-propelled roller derby through the cultures of celebrity, cyberpunk, and rabid egotism is exhilaratingly bizarre, exhaustingly funny—and you'd better hope it's just fiction.

  Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets. 
   
  Secrets from her mother: 
  1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching TV. 
   
  … From her boyfriend: 
  2. I’m a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks. 
  3. I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. 
   
  … From her colleagues: 
  4. When Artemis really annoys me (which is pretty much every day), I feed her plant orange juice. 
  5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times. 
   
  …Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: 
  6. My G string is hurting me. 
  7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV. 
  8. I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is… 
   
  …until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. After all, she’ll never see him again. 
   
  But on Monday morning, Emma’s office is abuzz about the arrival of Jack Harper, the company’s elusive CEO. Suddenly Emma is face-to-face with the stranger from the plane, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her. 
   
  Things couldn’t possibly get worse... Until they do.
