Took me a while but it was time well spent and a hell of a tour de force. Mr Isaacson delivers (Now third in my collection). It's on my shelf of completed and favorite now. Highly recommendable.

I might be a bit late to the party, but for those who like Scandinavian crime thrillers (or any type of mystery/crime books), have you read Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series? I found Thirst (the 11th in the series I believe) at a bus stop and decided ...

I didn't notice it is a novel otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Oh well, kind of glad I did since it is an easy read. Written from the perspective of a woman where I felt like she is a little bit biased... There is more than what it meets the eye,...

Hi all! Just finished 2 light reads and thought I'd comment on them. First Always Look On the Bright Side A Sortabiography by Eric Idle Quick, fun read with dozens of witty anecdotes. A lot of Britain references which are simply lost on an American ...

If you are interested in understanding why our society has deteriorated politically and economically, I recommend Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean. She documents the turn towards the Libertarian-inspired Neoliberal Age of Austerity in which we ...

Looking again at this book reminds me that I wanted to re-listen to it again. It is that good and instructive of our Nation's procedural institutions. The author's engaging dialogue is highlight of what ordinarily a dull subject.

A short Sci-Fi that is quite good even though it will only take about an hour to read. It is also kinda cheap.

For Bi-centenial of Bronte's Wuthering Heights here are 20 best quotes from the book. For many years it was my fav book. Such passion as words lept from the pages. Now I'm a withered up cynic and conclude Heathcliffe and Cathy were co-dependent. ...

This is one of my very most favorite books. In fact, I even bought a hard copy after listening to the audiobook so I could go over it in more detail. I have studied evolution for awhile, and even taught it some, but this book united some thoughts I ...

I read Kevin Kwan's "Crazy Rich Asians" and found it clever and funny. Last weekend, I saw the movie based on the novel and was unexpectedly delighted. This might be the only time when the movie added important visual information to the story. Highly...

I’m reading How Jesus Became God by Bart D Ehrman. He is much more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to the Bible so I can’t claim I’m right and he’s wrong but it seems to me that he takes a lot more of Jesus’s life events as actually ...

A highly biased selection. Ely S. Parker is a significant but little known person in American History, and he is one of my ancestors ( I have many notable Haudenosaunee ancestors which is not too surprising since they are all related to each other). ...

I've been listening to the audio version of "The Better Angels of Our Nature; Why Violence Has Declined" By: Steven Pinker, published in 2011. It's a long book, 36 hours to listen to it, and I'm only about 10 hours in, but it's an interesting ...

I read this back in about 1983. Phenomenal book! Chapters alternate between a Sci-Fi story of an Ark spaceship and the problems that occur on their journey, and the earth-bound science behind the problem.
