In fact, hes not at all sure that he wants to commit himself to anyone. So its hardly surprising that his girlfriend decides that enough is enough.

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of About a Boy by Nick Hornby, read by Stephen Mangan.  Nick Hornbys second bestselling novel is about sex, manliness and fatherhood. Will is thirty-six, comfortable and child-free. And hes discovered a brilliant new way of meeting women - through single-parent groups. Marcus is twelve and a little bit nerdish: hes got the kind of mother who made him listen to Joni Mitchell rather than Nirvana. Perhaps they can help each other out a little bit, and both can start to act their age.

The abridged, downloadable audiobook edition of How to Be Good, Nick Hornbys No.1 bestseller in the UK and Ireland. Read by the actress Frances Barber.  According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. Shes a doctor, after all, and doctors are decent people, and on top of that, her husband David is the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good - properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good - Katies sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions.   How to Be Good offers a painfully funny account of modern marriage and parenthood, and asks that most difficult of questions: what does it mean to be good?
