Ring and the Book by Robert Browning
Loyal Books
"Better translate--"A Roman murder-case:"Position of the entire criminal cause"Of Guido Franceschini, nobleman,"With certain Four the cutthroats in his pay,"Tried, all five, and found guilty and put to death"By heading or hanging as befitted ranks,"At Rome on February Twenty-Two,"Since our salvation Sixteen Ninety Eight:"Wherein it is disputed if, and when,"Husbands may kill adulterous wives, yet 'scape'The customary forfeit.'" (Excerpt from first chapter of The Ring and the Book.)Note from reader: The main text I have read from follows the first edition; but there are some words or lines that do not make sense, either through copying mistakes or because they are difficult if not impossible to make sense of in the first edition. In such cases, I have relied upon an alternate text, found at archive.org and also in the public domain, that contains the wording of the later editions. --Tony Oliva
Acres of Diamonds (Version 2)
Russell Conwell
One of the most requested motivational lectures of all time. "I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich ... The men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in the community. Let me say here clearly ... ninety-eight out of one hundred of the rich men of America are honest. That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money. That is why they carry on great enterprises and find plenty of people to work with them. It is because they are honest men. ."

Babbitt
Sinclair Lewis
Sinclair Lewis’ George F. Babbitt is a complicated and conflicted character. When you think you have his next move figured out he surprises you. As you begin to like him, he does something to evoke the “what a rat” response.Male menopause wasn’t a pre Great Depression term, but I would say George has all the symptoms. At a pudgy balding forty six he looks at his life, wife, family and business. He sees himself as a pretty successful business man, but when Tanis, the lonely widow, has a leaky roof, he sees an opportunity for perhaps a more fulfilling relationship then he has at home. Add to Tanis a foray into radical politics, and we are about to whiteness an emotional and financial train wreck with Babbitt at the throttle.This is a long story, but well worth listening to. Human nature hasn’t changed much in the last ninety years. Enjoy the novel (Summary by Mike Vendetti).
