My Planet Audiobook (Free)

Follow NY Times bestselling author Mary Roach – but be careful not to trip – as she weaves through personal anecdotes and everyday musings riddled with her uncanny wit and amazingly analytical eyes. These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader’s Digest as the column “My Planet,” detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates. (Do we point out neurotic interior designers and professional list makers?) For Roach, laughter is concealed in probably the most unlikely places, meaning nothing is off limits. Whether she is dwelling on her behalf age or talking about the professionals and cons of a bedroom night light – “A married couple can most effective be thought as a device of individuals whose sleep behaviors are carefully constructed to keep one another awake” – Roach discovers a lesson, a cut of sarcasm, or a dash of something particular that makes every day comical and totally priceless.
