A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Masquerading as a Victorian scientific romance and then detonating into something far stranger, A Voyage to Arcturus follows the brooding, restless Maskull as he is drawn into an otherworldly expedition beyond Earth. Lured by a mysterious summons and guided by the enigmatic Krag, Maskull joins a journey to the distant planet Tormance, orbiting the binary stars Arcturus. There, the very laws of nature seem shaped by thought, desire, and moral force, and Maskull's body begins to change in unsettling ways as new senses awaken. Each region of Tormance becomes a living argument: landscapes and inhabitants embody competing philosophies of love, power, beauty, suffering, and truth. As Maskull encounters a procession of charismatic teachers, seductive ideals, and perilous adversaries, he is pushed to test every assumption he has carried from Earth. What begins as exploration becomes a relentless spiritual trial, forcing him to decide what kind of reality he can accept and what price he is willing to pay for meaning. Hallucinatory, provocative, and fiercely imaginative, Lindsay's cult classic is a quest not for conquest, but for the nature of the self.

Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore audiobook.

Genre: poetry

On a quiet Christmas Eve in a cozy home, a narrator settles in for the night when an unexpected sound outside pulls him to the window. What he sees transforms an ordinary winter evening into a moment of pure wonder: a miniature sleigh, a team of swift reindeer, and a jolly visitor arriving with practiced ease. As the narrator watches in amazement, the stranger-quick, cheerful, and mysterious-moves through the house with a warmth that feels both magical and reassuring. Each detail, from the snowy rooftop to the visitor's twinkling eyes and bundled gifts, paints a vivid picture of holiday enchantment and family comfort. Told in lively rhyme and crisp, memorable images, this classic poem captures the childlike thrill of anticipation, the comfort of tradition, and the belief that generosity can be as real as the falling snow. Perfect for listening by the fire or sharing aloud with loved ones, this timeless Christmas staple invites every generation to pause, listen, and feel the season come alive.

The Flying Saucers are Real by Donald Keyhoe ~ Full Audiobook [science]

The Flying Saucers are Real by Donald Keyhoe audiobook.

Genre: science

The Flying Saucers are Real is a book that investigates numerous encounters between USAF fighters, personnel, and other aircraft, and UFOs between 1947 and 1950. Keyhoe contended that the Air Force was actively investigating these cases of close encounter, with a policy of concealing their existence from the public until 1949. He stated that this policy was then replaced by one of cautious, progressive revelation. Keyhoe further stated that Earth had been visited by extraterrestrials for two centuries, with the frequency of these visits increasing sharply after the first atomic weapon test in 1945. Citing anecdotal evidence, he intimated the Air Force may have attained and adapted some aspect of the alien technology: its method of propulsion and perhaps its source of power. He believed the Air Force or the US Government would eventually reveal these technologies to the public when the Soviet Union was no longer a threat.

Donald E. Keyhoe, who relates here his investigation of the flying saucers, writes with twenty-five years of experience in observing aeronautical developments. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He flew in active service with the Marine Corps, managed the tour of the historic plane in which Bennett and Byrd made their North Pole flight, was aide to Charles Lindbergh after the famous Paris flight, and was chief of information for the Aeronautics Branch, Department of Commerce.
