known as 'The Audies', took place in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles on May 30th 2008.Sometimes known as 'The Oscars' of the audiobook medium, the Audies are selected by distinguished
members of the Audio Publishers Association, and awards are
bestowed in over 30 categories.

The winner of the Mystery category was
href=
"http://www.best-audiobooks.com/Title.aspx?titleId=9808">Tin
Roof Blowdown by James Lee Burke. This audio book
is narrated by Will Patton and the abridged version is 6
hours in length, whilst the unabridged version is over 16
hours long.

Dave Robicheaux returns in another Bayou adventure, this one
more gruesome and gut-wrenching than any that have come before.
Hurricane Katrina has ravaged New Orleans, and it has left the
streets and buildings flooded and the city awash with
opportunists, looters, and vicious criminals. There is no
order, no law. Police are shooting randomly at innocent people,
prison guards have abandoned their posts, bodies float through
the streets and hang from trees, and every drug dealer,
murderer and rapist is out taking advantage of the desperate
lawlessness that holds the city captive.

In the midst of it all is Robicheaux, doing his best to help
regulate the post-Katrina madness, all the while on a dogged
search for a pair of dangerous fugitives, a dope-addicted,
fallen priest, and a vigilante insurance salesman who takes his
family's protection too far. This promises to be the most
taxing and emotional case Robicheaux has had to work.

In his singular style that defies genre, James Lee Burke has
created a haunting picture of life in New Orleans after
Katrina. Filled with complex characters and vivid descriptions
of the destruction and death that gripped the Big Easy, The
Tin Roof Blow down is an action-packed crime thriller as well as a poignant story of what disaster and desperation can do to people.

The winner of the Biography Memoir Category
was href=
"http://www.best-audiobooks.com/Title.aspx?titleId=11809">Einstein,
His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson. This
audio book is narrated by Edward Herrmann and is 22 hours
long.

His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.

Based on newly released personal letters of Albert
Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk - a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a teaching job or a doctorate - became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the
atom and universe. His success came from questioning
conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck
others as mundane. This left him to embrace a morality and
politics based on respect for free minds, freee spirits, and
free individuals.

The winner of 3 categories, namely, The Achievement
in Production category, Original
Work category, and Audio
Drama category went to href=

Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls by
Yuri Rasovsky. This audiobook is narrated by Phil Proctor,
Simon Templeman, Moira Quirk, Martin Jarvis, Rosalind Ayres,
Robertson Dean, and W. Morgan Sheppard.

According to legend,Sweeney Todd had his barber shop
at number 186 Fleet Street, next door to St. Dunstan's Church,
just a few blocks away from the Royal Courts of Justice. On
this site, they say, he robbed and murdered more than 150
customers. To dispose of their remains, he carried them through
underground tunnels to the bakery of one Mrs. Lovett a few
blocks away, where they supplied the stuffing for her meat
pies, the favorite mid-day repast of the lawyers who worked
nearby and got their shaves from Sweeney Todd. The man you
lunched with yesterday could be your lunch today! The story
first appeared in 1846 as a best-selling "penny dreadful," a
sensational thriller published in installments. Before the
final chapters even had a chance to hit the stands, the first
stage version was packing them in at the Royal Britannia
Saloon. Since then there have been numerous stage and literary
versions of the story.

The winner of The Business
Information/Educational category was "words that work audio book"

That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People
Hear by Dr. Frank Luntz. This audiobook is
narrated by the author and LJ Ganser and is 6 hours long.

Why are some people so much better than others at talking their
way into a job or out of trouble? What makes some advertising
jingles cut through the clutter of our crowded memories? What's
behind winning campaign slogans and career-ending political
blunders? Why do some speeches resonate and endure while others
arc forgotten moments after they are given?

The answers lie in the way words are used to influence and
motivate, the way they connect thought and emotion. And no
person knows more about the intersection of words and deeds
than language architect and public-opinion guru Dr. Frank
Luntz. In Words That Work, Dr.Luntz not only raises the curtain on the craft of effective language, but also offers priceless insight on how to find and use the right words to get what you want out of life. Whether your goal is to boost company sales, win political office, inspire your employees, or get that raise you deserve, Dr.Luntz has something instructive to say about how language can help.Learn about the phenomenon of transforming mere words into an effective arsenal for the war of perception we all wage each and every day.

The Getaway (Uncut, Unrated Version) [VHS]

$3.50

"This is going to be the last big score, I promise." Famous last words--uttered by crack thief Doc McCoy to his wife--that set forth a whirlpool of deception and violence in Roger Donaldson's 1994 remake of The Getaway. Bailed out of a Mexican jail by shady businessman Jack Benyon (James Woods) in order to hit an Arizona dog track for him, Doc (Alec Baldwin) and Carol (Kim Basinger) flee for south...

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man [VHS]

$1.99

Sheathing itself in bad taste, this film flaunts its tackiness, its machismo, and its very stupidity, which of course makes for a lot of dopey fun. Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) returns to his roots, the LA of 1996 (the film was set in the near future, as it was made in 1991). Burbank has become an airport, a new drug called Crystal Dream is all the rage, and Harley's favorite bar is being torn ...

Mulholland Falls [VHS]

$3.15

Too much surface. Director Lee (The Edge) Tomahori's noir story serves as a McGuffin to its ripe style. Amid secret agendas and unspeakable acts onscreen you stare at the fall of light across old cops' desks. Musing on super-8 footage of naked Jennifer Connelly, your mind wanders. Ah, yes, an allusion to the opening shots of Chinatown. Roman Polanski's grand reinvocation of the dark intuitions o...

Democracy in America, Volume I and II (Optimized for Kindle)

As Alexis de Tocqueville traveled through the young United States, he wrote in his introduction to the first volume of Democracy in America, "the more clearly I saw equality of conditions as the creative element from which each particular fact derived, and all my observations constantly returned to this nodal point." And there is an abundance of observations to be found here, with chapters t...
