TIN ROOF BLOWDOWN by James Lee Burke, read by Will Patton
This dark thiller doubles as a stunning elegy to New Orleans' cultural losses suffered as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Will Patton captures the visceral and vivid prose that makes this title so memorable, from the gruff Detective Robicheaux to the psychopath Ronald Bledsoe, whose bland, warm-custard voice will scare your socks off.

LISTENING IS AN ACT OF LOVE by Dave Isay [Ed.], read by Dave Isay and StoryCorps Participants
In this collection of stories gathered by Dave Isay and the StoryCorps project, Americans tell the story of American life with plainspoken honesty and affection.
