Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos audiobook.
Genre: comedy
A witty, sparkling satire of money, romance, and American ambition, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes follows Lorelei Lee, a charming young woman with a sharp eye for diamonds and an even sharper sense of how the world works. Told through Lorelei's breezy diary entries, the story tracks her whirlwind travels from New York to Europe alongside her best friend, Dorothy Shaw, whose independent streak and quick tongue make her both Lorelei's partner in mischief and her occasional reality check. As Lorelei courts wealthy admirers and navigates high society parties, hotels, and theater scenes, she pursues what she calls a sensible goal: securing a comfortable future through a rich marriage. But the path is crowded with suspicious relatives, jealous rivals, moralizing authority figures, and men who think they can control the terms of romance. With every new encounter, Lorelei must balance charm, calculation, and self-preservation while keeping her own narrative firmly in hand. By turns hilarious and cutting, the novel skewers class pretensions, gender expectations, and the transactional side of love, all while celebrating the sheer audacity of a heroine determined to write her own rules.

The Gospel of Wealth by Andrew Carnegie audiobook.
Genre: business
What is the proper mode of administering great wealth? It is to address this question that steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie's famous essay 'Wealth', or more commonly known as 'The Gospel of Wealth' was written (in 1889). His answer – Philanthropy. Not just any philanthropy, but specifically, projects funded and overseen during the life of the magnate, for things that benefit the community and engage the public in maintaining long after the magnate is gone -- libraries, parks, universities, hospitals, medical labs, observatories, entertainment halls, swimming pools, etc. Carnegie deemed it the responsibility of every self-respecting self-made rich person in America and the world, to help the poorer classes to rise. Before he died he had built over 3,000 public libraries throughout the world, and to this day various Carnegie foundations continue his work in support of various social causes.

Cynthia Wakeham's Money by Anna Katharine Green audiobook.
Genre: mystery
When ambitious young New York lawyer Frank Etheridge is abruptly summoned to Flatbush to draft the last will of the dying Cynthia Wakeham, he expects an unpleasant errand and a quick fee. Instead, he finds a once-grand house stripped to the bone, a terrified woman clinging to her final choices, and a hungry relative, Hiram Huckins, hovering for an inheritance. Cynthia's papers point to a missing sister, Harriet Smith, and to a troubling condition tied to the estate: whoever claims the money must take up residence in Cynthia's desolate home and remain there for a full year. Following the trail into the quiet village of Marston, Frank crosses paths with Dr. Edgar Sellick and the town's most baffling enigma: the Cavanagh sisters, Emma and Hermione, who have lived like prisoners behind their own gate since a long-ago rupture with the outside world. Hermione's scar, the sisters' secrecy, and rumors of a locked laboratory turn a legal search for heirs into something far more dangerous. As new visitors arrive and old grudges surface, Frank must untangle love, greed, and buried crimes before Cynthia Wakeham's money destroys the very people it was meant to save.
