Available to listeners for the first time, Sucker’s Portfolio showcases a collection of seven never-before-published works from Kurt Vonnegut, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Short, sardonic, and dark, these six brief fiction stories and one non-fiction piece are consummate Vonnegut with piercing satire and an eye for life’s obscene inanity. Also available for the first time is an unfinished science-fiction short story, included in the appendix.

When they first spotted the 1878 stone farmhouse that was to become the site of their bed and breakfast business, David and Norma Collis had no idea just how special the house was. A surprise family connection and many serendipitous moments made each day an adventure. From quirky neighbours to Bruce Trail hikers and even occasional visits from the Canadian military, their business brought hundreds of guests through the front door, each with a special and unique story to tell.

Written together with friend and journalist Boyd Hilton, the audiobook follows a year in the lives of Matt Lucas and David Walliams in every unfiltered detail: the good, the bad, the mundane and the meaningful. It is a year that includes writing, rehearsing, filming, Live8, going to America, and undertaking a mammoth 100-date, seven-month tour where Little Britain goes in search of Great Britain.

Völlig abgefahrene Kurzgeschichten über die schönsten Wochen des Jahres. Reisen ist geil, Urlaub auch - und Ferienclubs sind eine faszinierende Welt, in der die abgefahrensten Geschichten schon mit dem Frühstück gratis auf dem Teller landen. Dirk Engels hat als Urlaubs-Tenniscoach fast 15 Jahre in der All-Inklusive-Welt gelebt und gearbeitet. Mit einzigartigem Humor beschreibt er die skurrilsten Momente, die ihm in dieser Zeit passiert sind.

This novel is a satirical look at my life, and I have never written for a porn site. There are four parts to this book: The Rehearsal (trying to figure out my life and men), The Performance (a story in two perspectives about a transgender guy being interviewed), The Reviews, and Pornopraphy (amusing selection of commentary and reviews of media products). I write just a little soft porn for humor, but mostly it's about why my satirical "drag queen" narrator started writing erotica.

Why?, you might ask and maybe even in a mean-sounding voice “How Dare I write about such a touchy subject as Book Reviewing?” I would answer that I'm not daring to but rather I am being guided to do it. That unseen substance we might call “Literary Inspiration”, “The Guiding Hand of Inspirational Writing” or “I Got an Itch to Write Something”, is driving me and I can all but resist it. There are apparently readers out there who need this material to fill a void that can be satisfied by nothing else and I am called upon to fill them up.

Finnland. Da denkt jeder an Seen, Sauna, Mücken und Elche. Und eine verteufelt schwere Sprache. Aber wer sind die Menschen dort? Verschrobene Einzelgänger? Trinkfest und sangestüchtig? Bernd Gieseking bekommt einen Crashkurs. Weil sein Bruder sich in eine Finnin verliebt hat und seine Eltern ihn in seiner neuen Heimat besuchen wollen, bricht er zu einer Familienreise mit alten Eltern auf und fährt von Kutenhausen nach Lahti. Und das ist so skurril wie alltäglich, das ist aberwitzig und melancholisch schön.

It's good to know your limitations. I know I'll never grace the front cover of a magazine, unless it's a "most wanted" type. Every time someone looks at my ID card, I hold my breath, waiting for their reaction. Ma Barker has nothing on me when I'm wearing my serious face.
