October Vagabonds by Richard le Gallienne audiobook.

Genre: poetry

Richard and his friend Colin must sadly return from their distant hermitage to New York City at summer's end. However, rather than take the train on the 430 mile trip to the city, the two decide to walk the route, for as Richard stated: 'Don't you hate the idea of being hurled along in a train, and suddenly shot into the city again, like a package through a tube?' Certainly a lengthy walk it would be, but the two decide that the trip itself can be the most rewarding, and their trek begins. Along the way, they meet people they never would have met; they witness landscape, nature and habitat which they wouldn't have otherwise seen; and they learn about themselves and their place in the world which they may not have otherwise comprehended. A clever travelogue of two artistic types from first person point of view.

Dhammapada by Buddha audiobook.

Genre: religion

The Dhammapada is a compact, powerful collection of verses attributed to the Buddha and preserved within the Buddhist tradition as a guide to living with clarity, restraint, and compassion. Arranged in thematic chapters, its short teachings move from the inner landscape of thought and intention to the outward consequences of speech and action, showing how suffering arises and how it can be eased. Through vivid images and memorable aphorisms, the text follows the path from confusion to understanding: training the mind, meeting anger without hatred, loosening attachment, and cultivating mindful attention in everyday life. Rather than telling a single story, it offers a steady voice of counsel that speaks to common human struggles - fear, desire, pride, grief, and restlessness - and points toward freedom through ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom. Listeners will encounter recurring themes such as karma, impermanence, and the disciplined life of the awakened person, along with practical encouragement for householders and seekers alike. Whether approached as spiritual poetry or as a handbook for practice, the Dhammapada invites reflection and personal application, verse by verse.

A Witch Shall Be Born by Robert E. Howard audiobook.

The kingdom of Khauran is admittedly a small one, nestled between the vast desert and the plains, but it is blessed with an abundance of rich soil, hard working devoted inhabitants and much gold but most of all by a sweet young queen who is as wise and beneficent as she is beautiful. But then from out of nowhere, disaster strikes. A horrible witch (her evil twin sister) secretly replaces her and introduces devil worship, human sacrifice and other things too repulsive to mention. Conan, who was the captain of her guard is captured and crucified in the desert. From there the incomparable story telling skill of Robert E.
