The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
This is a really good book on CD that is about a young German girl living in a small town during Nazi supremacy. She endures hardship, but meets some wonderful people, including her foster mother and father. The title comes from the fact that she develops a love for books, and "collects" them at every opportunity. Words are a large focus of this book, both for Liesel (the book's heroine) and for Germany under Hitler, who used words to devastate his country and decimate millions of people. The book is narrated by Death himself, who was very busy during that time but managed to pay attention to the life and words of a sensitive young girl
