A Million Miles in a Thousand Years chronicles Miller's rare opportunity to edit his life into a great story and to reinvent himself so nobody shrugs their shoulders when the credits roll. When his producers begin fictionalizing Don's life for the film—changing a meandering memoir into a structured narrative—the real-life Don starts a journey to make his actual life into a better story.

I told my husband that this book was making me want to change my life as I was reading it and he asked me "How do you want to change your life?" I answered that no, my life is wonderful, and my goals haven't changed, but the way I live it all could be made better. In the end, I didn't have words for it. But whatever this feeling is, it's good. The book is full of gems and I was writing them down as I read. Uplifting is the right word for it, I think.

Electronic monitoring. Locked-down drug treatment centers. House arrest. Mandated psychiatric treatment. Data-driven surveillance. Extended probation. These are some of the key alternatives held up as cost-effective substitutes for jails and prisons. But many of these so-called reforms actually widen the net, weaving in new strands of punishment and control, and bringing new populations, who would not otherwise have been subject to imprisonment, under physical control by the state.

From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.

With this book being so short, I thought it might not contain much great information. But it did. I'm sure I'll re-read it multiple times.

Wally Roux is a teenage genius with a big imagination and a big heart, who just moved to Savannah, GA, from Maine with his mom, who adopted him when he was an infant. In this charming and sweet solo performance, Wally investigates what is causing a number of strange events and occurrences. He explores and gets lost within space-time - an infinite, indefinable, and mysterious void that you can’t see but when you slice into it you can feel it.

This narrator is the best ever. And the story is very fun, silly with real world topics threaded through it.

Funny stories, also problematic
Revisado: 06-10-19
Although they include a trans storyteller, they also reduce genders to cis genitals repeatedly. So in the end I don't think landing a few jokes is worth the TERFy humor.

As a celebrated cultural critic and a writer for national publications like The Atlantic and Harper's, Alan Jacobs has spent his adult life belonging to communities that often clash in America's culture wars. And in his years of confronting the big issues that divide us - political, social, religious - Jacobs has learned that many of our fiercest disputes occur not because we're doomed to be divided, but because the people involved simply aren't thinking.

I read some reviews and expected this to be okay or good, but it was wonderful! This author really dives into what and how we think and why, and how to do it differently and better. Very worth your time.

Meet the bros who are making vegan sexy (and making eating animals weird). Think you could never go vegan? Think again. As this smart, funny and persuasive manifesto makes clear, you're already 90 percent vegan anyway. That's right - you already love animals and are slowly but surely eating less meat than you used to. With the insider tips and inspiring stories in this book, you'll be ready to go whole hog (see what we did there?) and eat vegan for good.

Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

The science is fascinating, and the author's curiosity is contagious. It's read by the author, who is clearly excited and energized by the topic. The scientific explanations are made with vivid, clear analogies. I will almost surely read it again.
