When reading use the full names and NOT the damn initials. It’s difficult, if not impossible to find the meanings in a recording.

Little Herriot

Revisado: 11-08-22

I did not find James Herriot in this tale of the tribulations of Jason Davies. Oh sure, Herriot was mentioned a time or two, but having read Herriot, I expected Suit to present an American side of the veterinarian story. I expected tales of deworming pets and farm animals, What I got was a delousing of Davies love life.

Wrong voice

Revisado: 09-20-19

I like Scott Brick as a narrator, but not for this story. Scott's voice was heavy handed. At least, there should have been a higher voice part for the female dialog.

A Tired Tarzan

Revisado: 05-01-18

It took sixty years but I finally got around to reading the first two books in the Tarzan series. Maybe it's because I have read the science fiction of Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Norton, and Le Guinn, as well as Burroughs Barsoom series decades ago, but Tarzan proved to be a mighty chore I was glad to be done with. The books entire story arc revolves around a beach somewhere on the west coast of southern Africa. I opted to purchase the stories because I simply could not believe that the Tarzan movies imbecilic depiction of Tarzan (Weissmuller) was accurate. It wasn't, making the movies inaccurate, stupid, and no longer watchable. I pray the celluloid decays beyond all viewing.

As to the books, after an interminable childhood and young adulthood, with too many mighty muscles, Tarzan literally meets Jane. The only good thing I can say about that is that nowhere does he say, "Me Tarzan, you Jane." They leave the little hut on the coast, travel their separate ways and then guess what? They wind up back in the little hut on the coast again. That stupid little hut is like a black hole around which the entire universe circles. Leave, fall back into the hut. Mighty muscles carry them away but they come back to the hut. If I NEVER hear the phrase "mighty muscles" again it will be far too soon.

Worth rewinding

Revisado: 09-12-16

I found it a fascinating listen. I was aware of the commonality of many religions ... the ten commandments were practiced, minus the silliness about god and the sabboth, long before Moses struck them in stone.

Roots

Revisado: 04-07-16

Amazing study on the roots of what we believe today as gospel, came from the depths of the reformation and the Renaissance.

Great listen.

Humorous and informative. Loved this one: the only ones that call hurricanes acts of god are insurance companies.

Humorous, intelligent, and informative, a trifecta!

Revisado: 01-03-16

Goldsmith and Tyson do an excellent job of presenting that fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution.

Enjoyable but ...

Revisado: 01-28-15

Great pre-story to the Foundation series. But ... Asimov is terrible in writing dialog and developing character that depends on narrative. His dialogue is straight out of the 1930s starring Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper.
