Mitch Albom – Have a Little Faith: A True Story Publisher: Hyperion; Reprint edition (March 29, 2011) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 140131046X | EPUB + MOBI | 272 pages | 0.2 mb + 0.2 mb Albom delivers a command audio performance. He brings his two clergymen-protagonists-an elderly rabbi from Albom’s home synagogue and an African-American pastor leading a ministry to Detroit’s homeless population-to vivid life and conveys their messages of faith with sensitivity and respect. The audio’s most memorable moments feature the humility-and eccentricity-of the two spiritual leaders who, despite their deep religious commitment, refuse to be placed on a pedestal. From the ail-ing Jewish leader breaking out into whimsical songs in the middle of his grueling medical treatments and his Christian counterpart savoring the joys of barbecuing, Albom’s characterizations brim with humor and compassion.

Tim Akers – The Horns of Ruin Publisher: Pyr; Original edition (November 30, 2010) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 1616142464 | EPUB + MOBI | 269 pages | 0.7 mb + 0.8 mb Akers (Heart of Veridon) creates a complex steampunk world in which rival brothers Morgan, Alexander, and Amon are revered as gods. The last of Morgan’s Paladins, Eva Forge, is tasked with providing security for Barnabas, the Fratriarch of the Cult of Morgan, just as a plot is set in motion–ostensibly by the remnants of the Cult of Amon–to destroy the Morganites. As she travels from the monorails above the city of Ash to the hidden underground lairs of the remaining Amonites, Forge is forced to face her preconceptions and question her training and her understanding of the world in which she lives. Ash is a vibrant city, and the cults of the three brothers have a relationship as ambivalent and complicated as the relationship among any actual siblings.

Peter Ackroyd – Venice: Pure City Publisher: Nan A. Talese (November 2, 2010) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0385531524 | EPUB + MOBI | 416 pages | 12 mb + 11 mb Even during the dominance of the Roman Empire, Venice and Venetians were regarded as distinct by their neighbors. They spoke Latin, and later Italian, in an unusual dialect. Their geographic position as an island in a lagoon contributed to their fierce spirit of independence, but it also positioned them to control trade routes to and from the East. Ackroyd, the novelist, biographer, and writer of tributes to great urban centers (London), has captured the rich tradition, beauty, and vibrancy of this magnificent city in a survey that combines political and artistic history with aspects of a travelogue.
