Would you consider the audio edition of Shoe Dog to be better than the print version?
Great insight into starting small, going after it, and never giving up. The journey was hectic exciting rollercoaster ride.
There are nice little tidbits of running and other sports history sprinkled throughout which was enjoyable, even for the non sports fan.

Stories of Your Life and Others presents characters who must confront sudden change-the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens-while striving to maintain some sense of normalcy. In the amazing and much-lauded title story (the basis for the 2016 movie Arrival), a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her knowledge of alien languages and non-linear memory recollection.

Where does Stories of Your Life and Others rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Yes the movie led me on a nice little journey to Ted Chiang.
This is full of excellent work, all of which should have there own feature films.
If you like stories involving math, science, psychology, theology, OR myth then this is your book of shorts!

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

What did you love best about The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress?
This was the first book that I tried out on Audible. I loved Starship Troopers (the movie) so much that I had to check out a story from the author; yes now I know the movie is nothing like the book. And now I love both. //end Starship Troopers rant
Anyway, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is an excellent depiction of social engineering and the thought process that goes into a revolt. The narrator is the best; there is a nice collection of characters and Lloyd James nails them all. Check it out

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 16,747
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the Earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism?

One of the most significant books ever written by a head of state, the Meditations are a collection of philosophical thoughts by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180 ce). Covering issues such as duty, forgiveness, brotherhood, strength in adversity and the best way to approach life and death, the Meditations have inspired thinkers, poets and politicians since their first publication more than 500 years ago. Today, the book stands as one of the great guides and companions - a cornerstone of Western thought.

What did you love best about Meditations?
This book has helped me tremendously during a time of gloom. The book is literally quotes for any occasion. Best listened to in snippets and with time to ponder. I recommend pausing and writing down quotes that you loved because there are so many you will attach yourselves to the few that just seem to hit that sweet spot. Write them down!!
