Part memoir, part history, Burn Book is a necessary chronicle of tech’s most powerful players. This is the inside story we’ve all been waiting for about modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world. When tech titans crowed that they would “move fast and break things,” Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. While covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the facts about this new world order.

Biting and insightful commentary on the world of tech

I didn’t know much about Swisher personally, but I found her insights and perspective around tech to be on target and interesting.

You may know Anjelah Johnson for her viral sketch "Nail Salon" (over 100 million views globally) or her beloved ghetto-fabulous MadTV character Bon Qui Qui, but it's her clean humor and hilarious storytelling that make her one of the most successful stand-up comedians and actresses today. With her razor-sharp wit, Anjelah recounts funny stories from her journey.

A funny and insightful life story of the energetic, charming, funny Anjelah Johnson. I first encountered her through a comedy special and enjoyed her perspective on life.

Fascinating history

Interesting view into the history of King George VI and Elizabeth. The world is lucky that his brother abdicated or WW2 might have gone quite differently. A short but impactful reign.

Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

A delightful read
Revisado: 06-29-23
Worsley is a charming and enthusiastic reader. The backstory of one of the most prolific writers is quite interesting. Perhaps a little less on her tax troubles, but overall well worth the listen.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Lyrical and sad
Revisado: 01-28-23
This books was beautifully written, which I was a bit surprised at, until I learned the ghost writer is JR Moeringer (Tender Bar).
The descriptions of Africa are compelling. The dysfunction runs deep. It’s worth a listen.

Revisado: 08-27-22
Five Days is a gripping, terrifying, maddening, sad, and inspiring story, and a warning to all those of us who know face more serious and frequent natural disasters.
To me, there are no easy answers and I found myself seeing the situation from each side.

After President Woodrow Wilson suffered a paralyzing stroke in the fall of 1919, his wife, First Lady Edith Wilson, began to handle the day-to-day responsibilities of the chief executive. Mrs. Wilson had had little formal education and had only been married to President Wilson for four years, yet in the tenuous peace following the end of World War I, she dedicated herself to managing the office of the president, reading all correspondence intended for her bedridden husband.

Interesting detail on the role of Edith Wilson
Revisado: 04-17-22
I had always heard that Edith Bolling Wilson had taken over after her husband’s stroke but this illuminated just how much she did and for how long. Amazing story. There is no deep acknowledgment of the unconstitutional aspect of this situation. The book is somewhat repetitive- several times I actually thought I’d mistakenly gone back to a prior chapter.

Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and Ebenezer Scrooge come to marvelous life in Patrick Stewart's critically-acclaimed solo interpretation of A Christmas Carol. The star of X-Men and The Royal Shakespeare Company, Stewart has performed his one-man stage production of this holiday classic to sell-out audiences.

I have listened to this most years for Christmas on CD and was so happy to find it available on Audible. Stewart does one of the most amazing jobs of capturing Scrooge and all the characters.
