The Greatest Love Story Ever Told by Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman

Settle in and let Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman take you on a journey of the greatest love story ever told.

The year was 2000. Megan Mullally was wrapping up a successful season of Will & Grace when she agreed to star in an off the cuff play in Los Angeles. Nick Offerman, not yet having his breakthrough role in Parks and Recreation, was working as a carpenter when he landed a supporting role in that same play.

It was neither love nor lust at first sight, but what transpired next led to an eighteen romance that is still burning as hot as the day the flame of their love ignited.

This series of conversations is an enjoyable listen for lovers of memoirs, love, or Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman.  

Razor Girl by Carl Hiaasen

As the cold weather settles into Central Ohio, escape to the warmth of the Florida Keys by listening to Carl Hiaasen’s Razor Girl, read by John Rubinstein. 

After a mundane car accident scam leads to a tourist’s death, disgraced detective turned health inspector, Andrew Yancy takes on the case. Yancy, accompanied by a cast of salacious characters, are the target of Hiaasen’s wit and trademark cynicism as they navigate through insurance fraud, reality TV shows, and other sensational situations.

Rubinstein’s different voice characterizations and intonations make this a wild ride of adult fiction that will keep the listener laughing until the very end.

The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar

The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar is the story of Sera, a wealthy woman and her faithful servant Bhima in modern day Bombay. They have known each other for many years and through triumphs and tragedies share a bond that seems constant and unshakable. Written beautifully and poetically, the author tells the story of these two women in a tangle of flashbacks and present day encounters as we watch the delicate balance of their relationship begin to erode.

It becomes apparent, sadly, that they will not be able to rise above the confines of their class and race. Both women will discover things about themselves that will both inspire and disappoint. It is a beautiful story filled with as much hope and courage as it is sadness and tragedy.
