Tao Te Ching by Lao-Tze audiobook.
Genre: philosophy
The Tao Te Ching, attributed to the sage Lao-Tze, is a compact yet far-reaching guide to living in harmony with the Tao - the subtle, unnamed source and pattern behind nature, society, and the self. Told in short, poetic chapters, it invites listeners to trade force for flexibility, certainty for curiosity, and struggle for balance. Through images of water, valleys, uncarved wood, and the turning of seasons, the book explores wu-wei (effortless action), humility, simplicity, and the quiet strength of yielding. It speaks to the individual seeking steadiness in a noisy world, and also to leaders who want to govern without coercion, influence without domination, and create order without exhausting control. Rather than offering rigid commandments, the text works like a mirror, challenging ambition, pride, and excess while pointing toward compassion, moderation, and clarity. Each passage can be returned to again and again, revealing new meaning as circumstances change. Whether approached as philosophy, spiritual teaching, or practical wisdom, the Tao Te Ching remains an enduring invitation to align intention with the natural flow of life.

The Secret Agent - A Simple Tale by Joseph Conrad audiobook.
Genre: thriller
Set in the fog and ferment of late-Victorian London, The Secret Agent - A Simple Tale follows Adolf Verloc, a mild-mannered shopkeeper whose dingy storefront hides a more dangerous trade in secrets. Verloc drifts between two worlds: the shabby circles of self-styled revolutionaries who gather in back rooms to talk of upheaval, and the cold, bureaucratic machinery of a foreign embassy that expects results rather than excuses. Pressured to prove his usefulness, Verloc is pushed toward a reckless act meant to jolt the public into fear and the government into overreaction. At home, his seemingly quiet domestic life with his practical wife Winnie and her vulnerable younger brother Stevie becomes entangled with his covert obligations, turning private loyalties into potential casualties. As suspicion tightens and the city reacts, an inspector with a patient, methodical mind begins to pull at the loose threads, revealing how ideology, greed, and inertia can combine into catastrophe. Tense, darkly ironic, and sharply psychological, Conrad's novel examines the ordinary faces behind political violence and the devastating cost of living a double life.

The Moving Picture Girls by Laura Lee Hope audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Ruth and Alice DeVere and their father Hosmer struggle to make ends meet in New York City - times are hard, even for a talented actor like Mr. DeVere. Just as he successfully auditions for a new play, an old voice affliction renders him terribly hoarse and he loses the role. Despite voice rest and medical treatment, Mr. DeVere's voice fails to improve, and it is impossible to find theatre work.
A friend and neighbour in their apartment building suggests that Mr. DeVere tries acting in the moving pictures (which being silent, would not need him to speak at all) but Mr. DeVere considers that business to be common and cheap. However, when they receive an eviction notice, and local shops refuse to extend credit, Mr. DeVere may have no choice ... and where he goes, his daughters will follow.
