A Gentleman of Leisure by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.

Genre: comedy

When charming but chronically underfunded Jimmy Pitt lands in New York, he brings with him a problem no amount of good manners can solve: he is the newly minted heir to an English earldom, and the responsibilities (and expectations) that come with it. Unfortunately, Jimmy is also a practiced 'gentleman of leisure' - quick with a smile, short on steady income, and prone to drifting into schemes that sound harmless until they are not. Amid glittering hotels, drawing-room gossip, and the bustle of high society on both sides of the Atlantic, Jimmy becomes entangled with an alluring young woman, the watchful guardians of reputation, and a set of misunderstandings that make him look far less respectable than he intends. As pressure mounts to settle down, straighten up, and prove he deserves his title, Jimmy must navigate romance, class, and temptation while staying one step ahead of trouble. Light, witty, and fast-moving, this comedic caper showcases Wodehouse's trademark farce, sparkling dialogue, and affectionate satire of the idle rich.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde audiobook.

Genre: horror

In glittering fin-de-siecle London, young Dorian Gray sits for a portrait by the devoted artist Basil Hallward. When Basil introduces him to the witty, world-weary Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian is dazzled by Lord Henry's seductive philosophy: that youth and beauty are life's highest prizes, and that restraint is merely a social mask. As Dorian steps into fashionable society, he discovers how easily admiration can become a kind of power - and how quickly pleasure can harden into appetite. After making a fateful wish tied to the newly finished painting, Dorian begins a double life, outwardly unmarked by time while whispers gather around his name. Friendships strain, love turns dangerous, and the portrait becomes a private ledger of choices he cannot undo. With razor-sharp dialogue and an atmosphere of perfumed decadence, Oscar Wilde's classic novel probes vanity, morality, and the cost of living only for sensation. Dorian must decide whether he can master the influence that remade him, or whether the secrets locked away with the painting will ultimately claim everything he values.

Bill the Conqueror by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Hailed as one of the funniest writers of the 20th century, P. G. Wodehouse cheerfully radiates humor that is both sophisticated and popular. In Bill the Conqueror, Wodehouse creates an array of entertaining characters who gallop around England and America in quest of love and money. Our far-from-perfect hero Bill is a dissipated American former football player and man of action, who tangles with odious relatives, bumbling gangsters, suave white-collar crooks, and even his exasperating but well-meaning friend Judson, as he seeks to become worthy of the woman of his dreams, whichever one she might be. As you might expect, the course of true love never did run smooth.
