The Grand Babylon Hotel by Arnold Bennett audiobook.

Genre: thriller

Theodore Racksole, a rich American multi-millionaire, buys the Grand Babylon Hotel, a luxurious hotel in London, as a whim - and then finds out there are strange things going on - a German prince is supposed to arrive but never turns up, someone is found murdered in the hotel, but then the body disappears. With the help of his independent daughter Nella and another German prince, Racksole sets out to solve the mystery.

Bennett wrote this as a 15-part serial, for a lark, in 15 days, and sold it for 100 pounds. It first appeared in The Golden Penny in 1902, which described it as 'the most original, amusing, and thrilling serial written in a decade'

Politics by Aristotle audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

The Politics, by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, is one of the most influential texts in political philosophy. In it, Aristotle explores the role that the political community should play in developing the virtue of its citizens. One of his central ideas is that 'Man is a political animal,' meaning that people can only become virtuous by active participation in the political community. Aristotle also criticizes his teacher Plato, classifies and evaluates six different types of constitutions and political institutions, and describes his vision of the ideal state. Aristotle's views on women and slavery are unenlightened by today's standards, but his work remains enduring and relevant to this day.

Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women by Arnold Bennett ~ Full Audiobook [self help]

Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women by Arnold Bennett audiobook.

Genre: self help

In Mental Efficiency and Other Hints to Men and Women, celebrated novelist and essayist Arnold Bennett turns his sharp, practical eye on the everyday problem of how to think, work, and live with more purpose. Written for ordinary readers facing the pressures of modern life, these brisk essays offer guidance on cultivating mental energy, strengthening attention, and building habits that make productive work possible without turning life into drudgery. Bennett addresses the common obstacles that drain efficiency - fatigue, distraction, vague ambition, and self-deception - and he proposes concrete ways to manage time, conserve nervous force, and approach tasks with calm persistence. Along the way, he challenges the reader to replace grand resolutions with small, repeatable disciplines, and to treat the mind as something that can be trained through practice rather than rescued by inspiration. Witty, candid, and quietly demanding, this book speaks to anyone who wants clearer priorities, steadier motivation, and a more deliberate relationship with work, leisure, and self-improvement.
