by Highbridge Audio (CD) (Release Date: 2004-12-29)

Drawing on the latest science of revolutionary biology, YOUNGER NEXT YEAR shows men fifty or older how they can become functionally younger every year for the next five to ten years, and continue to live like energetic fifty-year-olds until well into their eighties.

"Harry's Rules"---deceptively simple, highly motivational rules like exercise six days a week; eat what you know you should; connect to other people; and commit to feeling passionate about something. Bringing together the doctor behind "Harry's Rules" (Henry S. Lodge, M.D.) and his seventy-year-old patient (Chris Crowley, the outspoken reporter in the trenches) YOUNGER NEXT YEAR welcomes readers to the next third of life. Train for it, and you'll have a ball.

With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew. For in every corner of every room were phantoms of a time dead but not forgotten—a past devotedly preserved by the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers: a suite immaculate and untouched, clothing laid out and ready to be worn, but not by any of the great house's current occupants.

by Simon & Schuster Audio (CD)

BEST HEARD ON AN EMPTY STOMACHJim Norton is a pervert in the truest sense of the word. The physical equivalent of a tall slug, he pays top dollar for massages with happy endings, and is fascinated by shitty sitcoms and fat girls. He is also, at times, racially offensive and morally repugnant. He spares no one in his comedy -- least of all himself.
