A fatuous, entitled story
Revisado: 04-28-24
PJ O'Rourke has always wobbled the line in between wry, Will Rogers witticisms and smug, fatuous, self-indulgence. This book is very little of the former and a whole lot of the latter.
...
This is a very Boomer book. The narcissism, the total abandonment of responsibility, the entitlement, and a complete lack of self-awareness about any of the above.
In terms of American histories, this book is the shrug and giggle of an inebriated, middle-aged wine-mom after she crashed the minivan and killed three people.

Historia
On the war-torn world of Croatoas, the armies of the Astra Militarum do battle with the twisted servants of the Ruinous Powers. Against the backdrop of this increasingly desperate conflict, tanker Hadeya Etsul finds herself consolidated into a Cadian regiment, and placed in command of the Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread. Haunted by nightmares, surrounded by a dysfunctional crew and striving to find her place amidst a proud and insular regiment with a culture so different from her own, Etsul must guide her crew to victory.

Space tanks! It''s about space tanks. pretty good story... about space tanks.
It's not high art, but when does fussy literature feature space tanks.

Historia
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

Historia
A master storyteller at his best - the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand-new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story. Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King's finest gifts to his constant fan. "I made them especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth."

I really wanted to like this, but it's long, it's dull, Evangeline mopes and whines.
The whole thing could have been a really good, 25-page short story.

On a misty cemetery world, three strangers are drawn together through mysterious circumstances. Each of them has a tale to tell of a narrow escape from death. Amid the toll of funerary bells and the creep and click of mortuary-servitors, the truth is confessed. But whose story can be trusted? Whose recollection is warped, even unto themselves?

Expected, but entertaining
Revisado: 11-22-22
It's a series of ghost-stories.
They are decent, but expect no surprises. Everything happens just as you think it is going to.

Historia
In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Lovecraftian gods in a stream bed
Revisado: 11-22-22
It's not bad, but the story within a story within a story within a story does not work.
Also, trying to put Lovecraftian horrors in small New England streams just does not work. Cthulhu as a river-trout is not scary.

Historia
There are many secrets in the dark places of the Old World. From the cities of the Empire, where men huddle together in defiance of the darkness that sweeps across the land, to the vast, savage forests that house all manner of terrible beasts, everywhere you look there is a dark tale or ancient legend waiting to be unearthed. For the vampire Genevieve Dieudonné, several of these ancient horrors and blood-soaked nightmares are about to come to light, as she is plunged into battles for her life and her very soul across three linked novellas.

Historia
From leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., to lesser-known figures such as Barbara Rose Johns and Jim Zwerg, each man and woman made the decision that something had to be done to stop discrimination. These moving accounts of the first decade of the civil rights movement are a tribute to the people, black and white, who took part in the fight for justice and the struggle they endured.

It's a textbook.
Revisado: 10-09-21
This is quite a good book. It's very straightforward in its approach and while Juan Williams has a very particular perspective, he is honest and intelligent although he does avoid certain topics that he didn't doesn't want to include. Such as there are virtually no black militants in the Civil Rights Movement for according to Juan Williams.
Also the recording is plagued with technical errors, it skips very often, especially at the beginning of sentences and at the beginning of chapters.

This is a really stupid book.
Revisado: 08-04-21
I have a soft spot for classic science fiction and I'd heard how terrible "Farnham's Freehold" was. I had a couple long flights and figured I'd see if the rumors were true.

They were.
