Plague Ship by Andre Norton audiobook.
Genre: scifi
When young cargo apprentice Dane Thorson signs on to the battered free trader Solar Queen, he expects hard work, tight margins, and the chance to prove himself among a small crew of tough, independent spacers. Captain Jellico and his officers run a disciplined ship, but the Solar Queen survives by taking risky contracts and hunting profits on the fringes of regulated trade. On an unfamiliar world, a routine pickup turns into catastrophe: something deadly and unseen follows the crew back to their ship. Suddenly the Solar Queen is branded a danger, cut off from ports, and driven into quarantine by authorities who would rather destroy a threat than investigate it. With their livelihoods and lives on the line, Dane and the crew must hold the ship together under mounting fear, suspicion, and isolation, while searching for the source of the contagion and a way to clear their name. Plague Ship combines tight spaceship camaraderie, tense survival stakes, and the harsh economics of interstellar commerce, as one crew fights to stay free in a galaxy that can turn on them overnight.

Penguin Island by Anatole France audiobook.
Genre: comedy
In Penguin Island, Anatole France delivers a sly, sweeping satire of civilization by imagining a world where a well-meaning, half-blind monk accidentally baptizes a colony of penguins, forcing heaven and earth to decide what, exactly, these newly converted creatures are. Transformed into people and granted a history of their own, the penguins begin building a society complete with laws, property, religion, politics, and all the comforting myths and brutal contradictions that come with them. As generations pass, the island's chronicles trace the rise of institutions and ideologies, the ambitions of leaders and thinkers, and the everyday compromises that turn lofty ideals into convenient slogans. Along the way, France introduces a gallery of clerics, scholars, soldiers, financiers, and reformers who argue over truth and morality while pursuing power, prestige, and survival. Bitingly funny and unexpectedly tender, the novel uses its absurd premise to expose how nations invent their past, justify their injustices, and repeat their follies, even when they believe they are marching toward progress.

The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius audiobook.
Genre: philosophy
Consolation of Philosophy (Latin: Consolatio Philosophiae) is a philosophical work by Boethius written in about the year 524 AD. It has been described as the single most important and influential work in the West in medieval and early Renaissance Christianity, and is also the last great work that can be called Classical.
Consolation of Philosophy was written during Boethius' one year imprisonment while awaiting trial, and eventual horrific execution, for the crime of treason by Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great. Boethius was at the very heights of power in Rome and was brought down by treachery. It was from this experience he was inspired to write a philosophical book from prison reflecting on how a lord's favor could change so quickly and why friends would turn against him. It has been described as “by far the most interesting example of prison literature the world has ever seen.”
The Consolation of Philosophy stands, by its note of fatalism and its affinities with the Christian doctrine of humility, midway between the heathen philosophy of Seneca the Younger and the later Christian philosophy of consolation represented by Thomas Aquinas.
The book is heavily influenced by Plato and his dialogues (as was Boethius himself)
