Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: history
In Life on the Mississippi, Mark Twain returns to the great river that shaped his youth, blending memoir, travel writing, and sharp-eyed social observation. The book opens with Twain's boyhood obsession with steamboats and his hard-won apprenticeship as a river pilot, where reading the Mississippi's shifting channels, snags, and sandbars becomes both a craft and a test of nerve. Years later, now a famous author, Twain journeys down the river again, comparing the bustling, commercialized post-Civil War Mississippi to the wilder waterway he once knew. Along the way he sketches a lively panorama of towns and river landings, gamblers and preachers, entrepreneurs and eccentrics, and the everyday people who make the river a moving crossroads of American life. With humor that can turn suddenly reflective, Twain explores how progress remakes landscapes and memories alike, and how stories cling to places even as they change. By turns hilarious, wistful, and incisive, this is an affectionate, clear-sighted portrait of a river and a nation in motion.

The Colors of Space by Marion Zimmer Bradley audiobook.
Genre: scifi
Bart Steele, Space Academy graduate, is on his way home to his father's business - he runs a fleet of spaceships for interstellar travel. The secret for fast interstellar travel though is still tightly kept by the alien race Lhari. An agreement between humans and Lhari has been made that permits humans only to travel in cold sleep as passengers aboard Lhari vessels as to not reveal the secret.
Some humans – the Mentorians - have had a slight genetic shift which enhanced their vision to withstand the light levels that the aliens Lhari use and live in. Mentorians perceive a wider optical spectrum than ordinary humans – some can see the ‘eighth color’. Mentorians act as translators, middleman and interpreters between the two races. But their ability sets them apart from the rest of humanity. Bart, half Mentorian, has this ability.
Bart, surgically altering his appearance to hire as a Lhari on a homeworld bound Lhari vessel, attempts to steal the secret of the Warp Drive - an attempt on which countless humans spies have failed before.

The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: comedy
When you dive into Mark Twain’s (Samuel Clemens’) The Innocents Abroad, you have to be ready to learn more about the unadorned, ungilded reality of 19th century “touring” than you might think you want to learn. This is a tough, literary journey. It was tough for Twain and his fellow “pilgrims”, both religious and otherwise. They set out, on a June day in 1867, to visit major tourist sites in Europe and the near east, including Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, “the Holy Land”, and Egypt. What Twain records, in often humorous, sometimes grotesque but always fascinating detail, are the day-to-day ups and downs of discovering the truth about people and places. The truths they learn are often far different than their education and rumor have made them preconceive.
This is a voyage of discovery. It’s long and, in places, tiresome. But it’s revelatory about so much. As with some of his other works, Twain includes popular prejudices of his time, which are today considered socially unacceptable. His references to “Indians”, “Negroes” and “infidels” come to mind.
Beyond the lows, though, there are the highs of Twain’s cutting wit and insight as he guides us along the bumpy and often dangerous voyage.
No need to buckle up. Just take it slow, and steady...like the journey itself.
