  STUPIDO TURISTA - He went to...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Some men have a midlife crisis. Francesco Marchese went to Puglia. 
  At fifty-eight, retired, and quietly certain that somewhere between the corner office and the car payment he lost the thread of himself, Francesco Marchese does something his careful, efficient life never prepared him for: nothing. Five weeks alone in his family’s ancestral stone house in southern Italy, with bad Italian, no plan, and the unsettling feeling that somewhere along the way he became very good at living someone else’s life. 
  What he finds there is Rio — the version of himself that never made it to the surface. A man who runs cliff paths above the Adriatic before breakfast. A man who dances the Tarantella until midnight and means it. A man who is, for the first time in a very long time, fully awake. 
  And what he discovers, in the olive groves and the village streets and the long conversations with a Pugliese guide who listens the way people used to listen, is that it is not too late. Not for any of it. 
  Stupido Turista is a novel about what it means to finally show up for your own life. About the version of yourself that waits, patient as an ancient olive tree, for you to come back and claim it. 
  For readers of Ann Patchett, Mary Beth Keane, and Fredrik Backman.

  NHOJ - A Memoir That Started...

  As a journalist and author, John Lazenby has spent more than forty years chronicling the tales of others. But for much of his life he closely guarded his own compelling story – a long and challenging struggle with childhood dyslexia, unable to read or write at a time when neurodiversity was rarely considered or recognised. Sent away to boarding school at the age of seven, John's future pivoted on the life-changing intervention of a teacher who finally understood the boy whom no one else could teach.
  In this warm and poignant memoir, John traces his misadventures through the unforgiving education system of the 1960s, when illiteracy was viewed as a character defect that could be rectified by stern discipline and regular beatings, and takes us on an evocative visit to the not-so-distant past, introducing the kind and eccentric family who never gave up on him – and the array of teachers who did.
  We follow the intrepid progress of a boy who could write only one word – his name, spelled backwards – to a man who finally found his true calling after a series of setbacks and false starts, only to make the late discovery that he had travelled through life unaware of a second neurodiversity, hiding in plain sight. Heart-warming, hilarious, raw and shocking, NHOJ is a tribute to overcoming challenges, ignoring barriers and holding on to hope in a world that initially seems to have no place for you.

  Combat biographies of seven ace pilots flying for the Nazi German air force during World War II, featuring in-the-cockpit accounts of aerial dogfights. Whether providing support for the blitzkrieg in Poland and France, bombing British cities and industrial centers, or attacking Allied fighters and bombers in the light of day and dark of night, the Luftwaffe revolutionized aerial warfare and experienced some of World War II’s most harrowing combat. For the pilots who carried out these missions, every flight meant possible death and certain danger. Franz Kurowski puts readers in the cockpit with seven of these men—three day-fighter, on night-fighter, one close-support, and two bomber pilots—who were among the most successful ever to take to the skies.

  FIVE DECADES. A DOZEN STRETCHES BEHIND BARS. ONE SENTENCE WITH NO END DATE.  
  Bang Bang Ray Hill is a true crime legend in the making; a British gangster memoir from a man who lived every page of it. 
  Growing up hard on the wrong side of the tracks in 1950s London, Ray became a career criminal by his teens: an armed robber, a bare-knuckle prize-fighter, and an enforcer trusted by some of Britain's most feared criminal firms. 
  He crossed paths with the underworld's most notorious faces, rubbed shoulders with the era's most infamous names, and served time across five different decades of the UK prison system; watching crime, punishment, and the criminal underworld itself change beyond recognition. 
  Through it all, Ray lived by a code that even fellow villains respected: there were lines Ray Hill would not let anyone cross.But surviving the streets was only half the fight. Addiction, an indeterminate prison sentence with no fixed release date, and one final, desperate job pushed him to the very edge of his life. 
  This is a true crime memoir. 
  A prison memoir. 
  A story of violence, survival, and the long road out the other side. 
  Told entirely in Ray's own unfiltered voice.
