Resumen del Editor
The Gray House is an astounding tale of how what others understand as liabilities can be leveraged into strengths.
Bound to wheelchairs and dependent on prosthetic limbs, the physically disabled students living in the House are overlooked by the Outsides. Not that it matters to anyone living in the House, a hulking old structure that its residents know is alive. From the corridors and crawl spaces to the classrooms and dorms, the House is full of tribes, tinctures, scared teachers, and laws - all seen and understood through a prismatic array of teenagers' eyes.
But student deaths and mounting pressure from the Outsides put the time-defying order of the House in danger. As the tribe leaders struggle to maintain power, they defer to the awesome power of the House, attempting to make it through days and nights that pass in ways that clocks and watches cannot record.

Prosper is the only unexceptional Redding in his old and storied family history - that is until he discovers the demon living inside him. Turns out Prosper's great-great-great-great-great-something grandfather made - and then broke - a contract with a malefactor, a demon who exchanges fortune for eternal servitude. And, weirdly enough, 4,000-year-old Alastor isn't exactly the forgiving type. The fiend has reawakened with one purpose - to destroy the family whose success he ensured and who then betrayed him.

The rest of the kids barely knew she existed. Even her teacher didn’t seem to know she was there! Only her nanny, the lovely-but-sinister Miss Barmy, really pays her much attention.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys.

Now, they have nothing left to lose.

“At one point they tried to calculate when time began, when exactly the earth had been created,” begins Time Shelter’s enigmatic narrator, who goes unnamed. “In the mid-seventeenth century, the Irish bishop Ussher calculated not only the exact year, but also a starting date: October 22, 4,004 years before Christ.” But for our narrator, time as he knows it begins when he meets Gaustine, a “vagrant in time” who has distanced his life from contemporary reality by reading old news, wearing tattered old clothes, and haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century.

Little Starhorodivka, a village of three streets, lies in Ukraine's Grey Zone, the no-man's-land between loyalist and separatist forces. Thanks to the lukewarm war of sporadic violence and constant propaganda that has been dragging on for years, only two residents remain: retired safety inspector turned beekeeper Sergey Sergeyich, and Pashka, a rival from his schooldays. With little food and no electricity, under constant threat of bombardment, Sergeyich's one remaining pleasure is his bees. As spring approaches, he knows he must take them far from the Grey Zone.

“At one point they tried to calculate when time began, when exactly the earth had been created,” begins Time Shelter’s enigmatic narrator, who goes unnamed. “In the mid-seventeenth century, the Irish bishop Ussher calculated not only the exact year, but also a starting date: October 22, 4,004 years before Christ.” But for our narrator, time as he knows it begins when he meets Gaustine, a “vagrant in time” who has distanced his life from contemporary reality by reading old news, wearing tattered old clothes, and haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century.

Little Starhorodivka, a village of three streets, lies in Ukraine's Grey Zone, the no-man's-land between loyalist and separatist forces. Thanks to the lukewarm war of sporadic violence and constant propaganda that has been dragging on for years, only two residents remain: retired safety inspector turned beekeeper Sergey Sergeyich, and Pashka, a rival from his schooldays. With little food and no electricity, under constant threat of bombardment, Sergeyich's one remaining pleasure is his bees. As spring approaches, he knows he must take them far from the Grey Zone.

And so, before each girl leaves the small house on the riverside at the foot of Mount Olympus, Theodora makes sure they know they are always welcome to return.

Ten-year-old Jas lives with her strictly religious parents and her siblings on a dairy farm where waste and frivolity are akin to sin. Despite the dreary routine of their days, Jas has a unique way of experiencing her world: her face soft like cheese under her mother’s hands; the texture of green warts, like capers, on migrating toads in the village; the sound of “blush words” that aren’t in the Bible. One icy morning, the disciplined rhythm of her family’s life is ruptured by a tragic accident, and Jas is convinced she is to blame.

Tove Ditlevsen is one of Denmark’s most famous and beloved writers, and her autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy was hailed as a masterpiece on re-publication in English, lauded for its wry humor, limpid prose, and powerful honesty. The poignant and understated stories in The Trouble with Happiness, written in the 1950s and 1960s and never before translated into English, offer listeners a new chance to encounter the quietly devastating work of this essential 20th Century writer.

Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but 10, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

Historia
Rich in its stories, characters, and imaginative range, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is the novel that brought Milan Kundera his first big international success in the late 1970s. Like all his work, it is valuable for far more than its historical implications. In seven wonderfully integrated parts, different aspects of human existence are magnified and reduced, reordered and emphasized, newly examined, analyzed, and experienced.

A wonderful tale of a young man’s coming of age, Zorba the Greek has been a classic of world literature since it was first translated into English in 1952 and made into an unforgettable movie with Anthony Quinn. Zorba, an irrepressible, earthy hedonist, sweeps his young disciple along as he wines, dines, and loves his way through a life dedicated to fulfilling his copious appetites. Zorba is irresistible in this charming audio production by veteran narrator George Guidall.

Historia
This magnificent novel - which secured for its author the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature - is now available to contemporary American audiences. Although it is set in the early 20th century, it recalls both Iceland's medieval epics and such classics as Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter. And if Bjartur of Summerhouses, the book's protagonist, is an ordinary sheep farmer, his flinty determination to achieve independence is genuinely heroic and, at the same time, terrifying and bleakly comic.

Nell McDaragh never knew her grandfather, the celebrated Irish poet Phil McDaragh. But his love poems seem to speak directly to her. Restless and wryly self-assured, at twenty-two Nell leaves her mother Carmel’s orderly home to find her own voice as a writer (mostly online, ghost-blogging for an influencer) and to live a poetical life. As she chases obsessive love, damage, and transcendence, in Dublin and beyond, her grandfather’s poetry seems to guide her home.

I'm still trying to figure out what I just read.
I think some of the magic got lost in translation, and the narrator didn't really help to distinguish one character from another. Add to that the lack of linear time and the unreliable narrators, and a premise that had really intrigued me just made me confused.

Is there supposed to be a plot?
Couldn't stand the narrators over-annunciations, and there is more empty detail than actual story. 10 chapters in I'm still trying to figure out if there's a plot or if it's just bland babble. Couldn't finish it.

Trying to decide whether to listen to Gray House?
It's a combination of Lord of the Flies, Alice in Wonderland, and Dead Poets Society. It's rambling, psychedelic, dark, and chaotic. Each paragraph is a new adventure, and I don't mean that in an entirely good way. It's often unclear whether descriptions and names are literal or figurative. If you get sick or injured, go see the spiders, but whatever you do, don't sit on a chair. I mean... okay.
The guy reading this really makes sure to pronounce every T . Doesn't sound like a big deal but I can imagine it's a deal breaker for some people.
More importantly, there's not much of what I'd call a "story." A lot happens, but it doesn't build a and pay off, create and resolve tension; If there's a plot, I've stopped trying to find it, instead I use this book to listen to while I'm cleaning, or trying to fall asleep. It's like a fidget for my brain, and if I miss parts, it doesn't really matter.
I'd say, listen to this book if you don't mind over-annunciation and any of these are true: (a) You are into metaphors and finding meaning in madness; (b) You're in the mood for something weird; (c) You are looking for something to play while you're half listening or listening on and off. You'll also have to not hate hearing about children engaging in violence and drug use and sometimes turning into dogs (?) and running around in the woods.

Narration problems
I almost never leave negative reviews for anything but I figured that if there is any chance that Scott Merriman reads this and takes my advice, we will all be better off for it. Please, please stop over-enunciating every word. TreaTing. EVery. Syllable. As. A. DisTincT. PerCussive. SounD. Is. BaD. Every time he pronounced the letter "t" was painful. Words can and should flow together sometimes. The style he uses breaks immersion and it completely ruined my experience of a book I was excited to listen to. I kept trying to overcome my annoyance, thinking it would get less troublesome as time went on but it never did. Mr. Merriman, I think everything else about your reading is fine but a more conversational delivery on your part would have kept me from being a bit embarrassed by ranting like this in a review.

Amazing Book, Terrible Narrator
The book itself is wonderful. I've never experienced anything quite like it. The house, the characters, they draw you in, and you want to just sit with them as long as possible. Thirty hours wasn't enough, not nearly... But, for the love of God, don't listen to the audiobook. I'd go as far as to say it ruins the book entirely. All the characters are reduced down to some cynical YA over-enunciated drone. The character, the flavour, the unique quality of each person, the mystery and wonder—all gone. So yeah, overall 10/10 I would recommend this book, but only on Kindle.

Press on...it's worth it! But new narrator PLEASE!
Wow...what a ride! I went from forcing myself to press on and finish it, to wanting to start over the minute I was done! I listened to it (36 hours!) while also going back frequently and re-reading portions. I have to say the narrator is abysmal, but it's the only way I would have had time to get through it. If you can read it rather than listen, by all means do! He almost ruined for me. I would definitely lobby for another narrator to give it a go. But overall this book was haunting, beautiful, absurd, mesmerizing, and has more layers than one can fully grasp in a single reading. I will for sure be revisiting the gray house (or the better Russian title - "The House, in Which... ") again in my lifetime! I also found some fan art depicting the characters...look it up - they're fabulous!

Narrator hard to listen to
I really couldn't give this one a chance because Scott Merriman's narration was so annoying that after 2 hours of listening to him hyper-pronounce hard consonants, I just couldn't listen to him another minute. Also, although his narration couldn't be described as robotic, he spoke in the EXACT same "voice" for every character - adult or teen, male or female - which made it very hard to understand who was speaking. I will probably try reading this one on my Kindle.
