If it's navel-gazing you're after, you've come to the wrong place; ditto treacly self-examination. Rather, his observations turn outward: a fight between two men on a bus, a fight between two men on the street, pedestrians being whacked over the head or gathering to watch as a man considers leaping to his death. There's a dirty joke shared at a book signing, then a dirtier one told at a dinner party - lots of jokes here. Plenty of laughs. ![]() English | ASIN: B09FB134V1 | 2021 | 4 hours and 7 minutes |MP3|M4B | 226 MB A pocket-style edition based on the New York Times best seller.

At mid-century? In the year 2100? Prescient and convincing, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future. Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers.

When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published - "godless", "full of abominations", "a book forged in hell...by the devil himself". Religious and secular authorities saw it as a threat to faith, social and political harmony, and everyday morality, and its author was almost universally regarded as a religious subversive and political radical who sought to spread atheism throughout Europe. ![]() English | ASIN: B09GYR8K1W | 2021 | 14 hours and 49 minutes |MP3|M4B | 407 MB 'When I was born in 1935 I grew up, despite the Depression and World War II, with a primitive sense of being fortunate.... The utopian strain was very strong...if we weren't to be a better society, if we were simply serfs designed to support a system of privilege, what was the bloody point?' Thomas Keneally has been observing, reflecting on and writing about Australia and the human condition for well over 50 years. In this deeply personal, passionately drawn and richly tuned collection, he now turns inwards to reflect on what has been important to him, drawing on a lifetime of engagement with the great issues of our recent history and his own moments of discovery and understanding. Beautifully written, erudite and at times slyly funny, A Bloody Good Rant is an invitation to share the deep humanity of a truly great Australian. ![]() English | ASIN: B09JBH7GWK | 2021 | 6 hours and 40 minutes |MP3|M4B | 184 MB A billion hours is equivalent to 114,000 years.
