F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all.
Darwin8u says: "Victory after all, I suppose!"

After a sad and neglected childhood as an orphan, Jane Eyre was hired by Edward Rochester as governess for his ward. Jane was pleased with the quiet country life at Thornfield, with the beautiful old manor house and gardens, with the book-filled library, and with her own comfortable room. But there were stories of a strange tenant, a woman who laughed like a maniac, and who stayed in rooms on the third floor.
Elizabeth says: "a book that can be heard/read again and again"

Publisher's Summary

Set in old Verona, this is Shakespeare's famous tragedy of two star-crossed lovers, their doomed romance and the bitter enmity between their respective families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Masterfully retold by distinguished author Leon Garfield and read by Clare Higgins - who has acted with the RSC in Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra and A Midsummer Night's Dream - this impressive reinterpretation will delight both those who know and love the works of Shakespeare and those who have yet to discover them.
