Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made 28 years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children.

A Classic with a Top-Notch Performance!

King's Masterpiece is Elevated by a Fantastic Performance from Weber
Revisado: 07-09-24
It is a beautiful, chilling, dark, and friendship-driven masterpiece that manages to be a bone chilling horror novel and emotional and detailed coming of age story. There is no book quite like it. Weber's performance is sharp, detailed, and flawless. He adds flavor to the story with his sharp reading and accents yet takes nothing away from the overall experience. You should read this!

Ever since the 2016 election, pundits have been saying our country has never been more divided - that if progressives want to reclaim power, we need to be "pragmatic", reach across the aisle, and look past identity politics. But what if we're getting the story all wrong? In The Marginalized Majority, Onnesha Roychoudhuri makes the galvanizing case that our voices are already the majority - and that our plurality of identities is not only our greatest strength, but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history.

A great guide to directing your post-election rage
Revisado: 12-11-18
I listened to this just after finishing Beautiful Country Burn Again by Ben Fountain, and the two books are great counterparts. Fountain's book makes you re-live (if you dare) the entire 2016 election, including the primaries. His dives into history to explain the moment are searching and dismaying. This book picks up about where Fountain leaves off, at the 2016 election. Roychoudhuri toggles, as Fountain does, between our current reality and history (more recent history in this case). However, the author is not seeking to assign blame for Trump as much as to remind us, the people, of how and when we've fought back, and why it's necessary that we keep doing so. The tone and message called to mind Rebecca Solnit. I admired how the author parses and annihilates the rationale of recent Democrats who decry identity politics and beg the electorate to play it safe by voting for "pragmatic" candidates (read: candidates who will only reproduce the system)-- she reframes this issue to reveal how a politics based on people acting and speaking from the truths of their lives is the greatest tool the people have to establish a broad-based politics that can challenge the 1%. This book makes a great case for learning from the political struggles of marginalized people because these struggles have kept the promise of America alive and account for much, if not most, of the progress we can point to. People organized, resisted bravely, and burned slowly to keep their ideals and purpose warm (a great metaphor or Roychoudhuri's) but not so hot as to flame out in rage. If you're wondering what you can do now, and especially if you feel powerless, this book is a shot in the arm and a brilliant critique of contemporary cynicism.
