Story
The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) was the first major text by Adam Smith who, seven years later, was to publish what was to become one of the major economic classics, The Wealth of Nations (1776). However, Smith regarded The Theory of Moral Sentiments as his most important work because in it he identified the profound human instinct to act not necessarily in self-interest but through, as he phrased it, a ‘mutual sympathy of sentiments’.

Story
Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin. And a cold-blooded killer. His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world. But not everything monstrous-looking is evil, and not everything fair is good...and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

I enjoyed The Last Wish so much that I listened to it twice. Expert weaving of non-chronological story lines.

Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child.

the background music was distracting at first because most of the audiobooks I listen to don't have that. I got used to it.
absolutely love the narration!

Story
For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams.

if I were only allowed 10 books on my bookshelf, this would be one of them. The stories are engaging and the message is timeless. My only disappointment was, had the reader been male, I could have fantasized that it was Aldo Leopold's voice.
