Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy’s most famous aviation duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A white New Englander from the country-club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. An African American sharecropper’s son from Mississippi, Jesse became the navy’s first Black carrier pilot, defending a nation that wouldn’t even serve him in a bar.

Almost all of the listening I do is while I drive. I took the long way home one night because I did not want to quit listening.

In this remarkable WWII story by New York Times best-selling author John R. Bruning, a renegade American pilot fights against all odds to rescue his family - imprisoned by the Japanese - and revolutionizes modern warfare along the way. From the knife fights and smuggling runs of his youth to his fiery days as a pioneering naval aviator, Paul Irving "Pappy" Gunn played by his own set of rules and always survived on his wits and fists. But when he fell for a conservative Southern belle, her love transformed him from a wild and reckless airman to a cunning entrepreneur.

Best Book in 3 Years
Revisado: 01-11-19
This is the best book I have listening to in three years in terms of not wanting to quit listening and get out of the car.
Great story, well written, well narrated. What else is there.

Steven A. Cohen changed Wall Street. He and his fellow pioneers of the hedge fund industry didn’t lay railroads, build factories, or invent new technologies. Rather, they made their billions through financial speculation, by placing bets in the market that turned out to be right more often than not.

Best book in months
Revisado: 09-01-17
If you could sum up Black Edge in three words, what would they be?
This is the best book I have listened to in months. Well written, great 'story,' great performance.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Interesting, and depressing, expo on the state of Wall Street (speaking as a conservative).

Weaving insights from philosophy, neuroscience, and history into a rich narrative, The Shallows explains how the internet is rerouting our neural pathways, replacing the subtle mind of the book reader with the distracted mind of the screen watcher. A gripping story of human transformation played out against a backdrop of technological upheaval, The Shallows will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

Overkill
Revisado: 01-24-17
The author takes over 10 hours of technical, detailed, linear, systematic logic to explain that we now longer think in linear systematic logic due to this internet.
I accept the premise, but would have preferred the 5 hour version. Only my anal, linear, systematic approach gave me the patience to make it to the end.

In Being Mortal, best-selling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending. Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit.

Interesting, but...
Revisado: 05-23-16
Interesting book with an decent thesis. While I would submit that the author's theses is more right than wrong, there are some significant flaws, including:
*It might work on the coasts well, the logistics in the center of the country are very different.
*It seems he failed to consider the empty miles needed to shift driverless cars to new locations.
*There is still a rush hour problem in terms of traffic and having enough to vehicles for peak hours... But parking them at other times.
That said, he made me think and I get the general idea.

This was a useful book explaining the 'why's' behind the lifestyle changes required to stay young.
The narration was outstanding! Best of any book I have listened to this far.

This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize - and National Book Award - winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, marks the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive. Of all our great presidents, Theodore Roosevelt is the only one whose greatness increased out of office. What other president has written 40 books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin’s bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine?

Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel.

Great challenge to status quo; needs more
Revisado: 03-20-15
I found this very helpful, especially since I just returned from a STM. I buy in to the theme (he is much more right than wrong), but it seems like an incomplete solution. It seems there is an appropriate way/obligation for those with $$ to support those without beyond those options provided by the author.
