The Guest

A Novel

By: Emma Cline
Narrated by: Carlotta Brentan
Length: 8 hours 36 minutes

“This was my first Emma Cline book but it won't be my last. The Guest was so wonderfully nerve-wracking and bizarre. I couldn't get enough of Alex and all of the terrible decisions she makes. I genuinely could not stop talking about this book. I annoyed my coworkers with intimate play-by-plays of certain scenes that shook me to my core. This is a... Read more

Slow Days, Fast Company

The World, The Flesh, and L.A.

By: Eve Babitz
Narrated by: Mia Barron
Length: 5 hours 32 minutes

“Eve Babitz captures the allure of L.A. in the 1960s with a series of literary essays that read as gossip columns (how scandalous). This short little novel is proactive, funny, and artistic, and shows the inherent privileges of being white and rich in L.A. There wasn't a single person it seems that was not completely enamored with Babitz and the... Read more

The Idiot

By: Elif Batuman
Narrated by: Elif Batuman
Length: 13 hours 39 minutes

“I read this and its follow-up Either/Or back to back. I'm not always a fan of the classic bildungsroman, especially the college variety. I don't need to be reminded of how dumb I was at 19. But THIS! It felt esoteric and yet completely relatable. Like it was written specifically to me, even though I didn't share any of the protagonist's actual... Read more
