stephen fry is always great, but for this iconic book, I think you really need the voice of Stephen Moore.

This brand-new unabridged audio book of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved The Hobbit is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor, director and author, Andy Serkis. 

 Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day, to whisk him away on a journey ‘there and back again’. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon…

The prelude to THE LORD OF THE RINGS, THE HOBBIT has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century.

Listen to an excerpt of Helen Wan's THE PARTNER TRACK, read by Catherine Ho.

Ingrid Yung's life is full of firsts. A first-generation Chinese American, the first lawyer in her family, she's about to collect the holy grail of "firsts" and become the first minority woman to make partner at the venerable old law firm Parsons Valentine & Hunt.

Ingrid has perfected the art of "passing" and seamlessly blends into the old-boy corporate culture. She gamely banters in the corporate cafeteria, plays in the firm softball league, and earnestly racks up her billable hours. But when an offensive incident at the summer outing threatens the firm's reputation, Ingrid's outsider status is suddenly thrown into sharp relief. Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, commanding Ingrid to spearhead the effort. Only she's about to close an enormous transaction that was to be her final step in securing partnership.

For the first time, Ingrid must question her place in the firm. Pitted against her colleagues, including her golden-boy boyfriend, Ingrid begins to wonder whether the prestige of partnership is worth breaching her ethics. But can she risk throwing away the American dream that is finally within her reach?

Directed by James Burrows by James Burrows with Eddy Friedfeld, read by James Burrows

&quot;IRRESISTIBLE!&quot; --The Boston Globe Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide (&quot;A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have&quot;) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox--the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel! &quot;[A] WHIMSICAL ODYSSEY...Characters frolic through the galaxy with infectious joy.&quot; --Publishers Weekly Available for purchase at: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0804191859?tag=pgus-20">Amazon - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?ISBSRC=Y&ISBN=9780804191852&cm_mmc=Random%20House-_The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852-_-The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852-_-The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">Barnes & Noble - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-10876509?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852&url=http://www.booksamillion.com/p/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy/Douglas+Adams/9780804191852">Books A Million - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780804191852?aff=PenguinGroupUS">IndieBound - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780804191852?utm_source=randomhouse&utm_campaign=randomhouse&utm_content=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852">Powell's - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=VD9*lkiWNd8&subid=&offerid=183959.1&type=10&tmpid=273&u1=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-CD-1-9780804191852&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-ng.do%3F&RD_PARM2=search_query%3D9780804191852%2526ic%3D16_0%2526Find%3DFind%2526search_constraint%3D3920">Walmart - Audiobook (CD format)</a><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?term=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy&entity=audiobook&at=11l3IH&ct=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215">Apple - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?url=http://www.audible.com/search?advsearchKeywords=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy+Douglas+Adams&source_code=COMA0213WS031709&SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215">Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-11117375?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215&url=http://www.audiobooks.com/search/book/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">audiobooks.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">downpour - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?SID=The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy-DN-1-9780739322215&url=http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/search/book/The+Hitchhiker%27s+Guide+to+the+Galaxy">eMusic - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a>

Mindfulness - Finding Peace In A Frantic World - Guided Meditations

Meditation One: Mindfulness Of Body And Breath

The final work from the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning writer, actor, and musician, drawn from his transformative last days &#160; In searing, beautiful prose, Sam Shepard&rsquo;s extraordinary narrative leaps off the page with its immediacy and power. It tells in a brilliant braid of voices the story of an unnamed narrator who traces, before our rapt eyes, his memories of work, adventure, and travel as he undergoes medical tests and treatments for a condition that is rendering him more and more dependent on the loved ones who are caring for him. The narrator&rsquo;s memories and preoccupations often echo those of our current moment&mdash;for here are stories of immigration and community, inclusion and exclusion, suspicion and trust. But at the book&rsquo;s core, and his, is family&mdash;his relationships with those he loved, and with the natural world around him. Vivid, haunting, and deeply moving, Spy of the First Person takes us from the sculpted gardens of a renowned clinic in Arizona to the blue waters surrounding Alcatraz, from a New Mexico border town to a condemned building on New York City&rsquo;s Avenue C. It is an unflinching expression of the vulnerabilities that make us human&mdash;and an unbound celebration of family and life.

Spy of the First Person by Sam Shepard, read by Michael Shannon

"A lush debut; Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose." --Alexandra Fuller, author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight How long can you protect your heart? For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens. Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

#1 New York Times bestseller &ldquo;Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.&rdquo; &mdash;Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this&#160;New York Times&#160;bestseller &#160; Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world&rsquo;s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In&#160;The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers&rsquo; capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments&mdash;from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga&mdash;that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain&rsquo;s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk&rsquo;s own research and that of other leading specialists,&#160;The Body Keeps the Score&#160;exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal&mdash;and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., read by Sean Pratt

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER &bull; From the Academy Award&#174;&ndash;winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN &ldquo;Unflinchingly honest and remarkably candid, Matthew McConaughey&rsquo;s book invites us to grapple with the lessons of his life as he did&mdash;and to see that the point was never to win, but to understand.&rdquo;&mdash;Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck I&rsquo;ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. &#160; Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life&rsquo;s challenges&mdash;how to get relative with the inevitable&mdash;you can enjoy a state of success I call &ldquo;catching greenlights.&rdquo; &#160; So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. &#160; Hopefully, it&rsquo;s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot&rsquo;s license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears. &#160; It&rsquo;s a love letter. To life. &#160; It&rsquo;s also a guide to catching more greenlights&mdash;and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too. &#160; Good luck. The short dust jacket included with this hardcover edition is an intentional design choice.
