Well, it has been nearly two years since I last updated this list and I always intended to keep coming back to this list to see how the recent long audiobooks I have listened to stacked up against the books already on this list. ![]() I had such an amazing time doing this that a year later I had a go at updating it, adding in a few additional reads. This turned into such an interesting endeavour that I ended up posting on my blog here, with the longest 20 books featured. ![]() As a result, I sat down and worked out which ones had the longest run time. Back in 2019, I got curious about all the audiobooks I had listened to, and I wanted to know which were the longest ones that I had ever listened to. I have been lucky enough to listen to an impressive collection of audiobooks over the years, with some of them being extremely long, often taking me weeks to get through. For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, I’m veering away from the official topic (this week it was Top Ten Books with your Favourite Trope/Theme), and instead I chose to revisit and update a fun post I last looked at nearly two years ago.Īs readers of this blog will be aware, I am a massive fan of audiobooks, and it is often the best way to enjoy a good book. ![]() Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that currently resides at The Artsy Reader Girl and features bloggers sharing lists on various book topics. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first food pantry she established provided hundreds of poor, elderly, sick, deranged, and marginalized people with lifesaving food and a sense of belonging.

In this astonishing story, she tells how the seeds of her conversion were sown, and what her life has been like since she took that bread.Ī lesbian left-wing journalist who covered revolutions around the world, Miles was not the woman her friends expected to see suddenly praising Jesus. ![]() The mysterious sacrament of communion has sustained Miles ever since, in a faith she’d scorned, in work she’d never imagined. “I was certainly not interested in becoming a Christian,” she writes, “or, as I thought of it rather less politely, a religious nut.” But she ate a piece of bread, took a sip of wine, and found herself radically transformed. ![]() Then early one winter morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. Raised as an atheist, Sara Miles lived an enthusiastically secular life as a restaurant cook and a writer. “Mine is a personal story of an unexpected and terribly inconvenient Christian conversion, told by a very unlikely convert.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Our beliefs, whether subconscious or not, are our personal rulebooks for “doing life.” What initially drew me into The Truth, is that the author is neither a professional psychologist or a therapist of any kind, yet he’s doing what he can to let people know that the only true way to change and understand ourselves is to first understand our beliefs.

A countercultural and scathingly anti-capitalist work, it tells the story of an impoverished family man selected to take part in 'The Running Man', a grotesque game show that offers cash rewards to contestants willing to be hunted on television. ![]() One of seven books to be published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, Stephen King's The Running Man (1982) is a dystopian sf novel written in 1971, during a time of severe civil unrest under Richard Nixon, but not published until after the beginning of Ronald Reagan's New Right revolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() In its quest for dominance, China is determined to reclaim Taiwan-a pivotal ally the United States has sworn to protect.

Machen, however, showed literary promise, publishing in 1881 a long poem "Eleusinia" on the subject of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Family poverty ruled out attendance at university, and Machen was sent to London, where he sat exams to attend medical school but failed to get in. He also is well known for his leading role in creating the legend of the Angels of Mons.Īt the age of eleven, Machen boarded at Hereford Cathedral School, where he received an excellent classical education.

In doing so, they were part of a larger effort among African Americans to create new forms of black politics by founding churches, starting businesses, establishing community centers, and creating newspapers. These activists, mostly former slaves who subsequently trained in the ministry, pushed Baltimore to fulfill Reconstruction's promise of racial equality. In the 1870s and early 1880s, a dynamic group of black political leaders migrated to Baltimore from rural Virginia and Maryland. In A Brotherhood of Liberty, Dennis Patrick Halpin shifts the focus of the black freedom struggle from the Deep South to argue that Baltimore is key to understanding the trajectory of civil rights in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. ![]() |
