Perelandra is a planet of pleasure, an unearthly, misty world of strange desires, sweet smells, and delicious tastes, where beasts are friendly and naked beauty is unashamed, a new Garden of Eden, where the story of the oldest temptation is enacted in an intriguingly new way.

Lewis was a master of intricacies.

I re-read the space trilogy every year for pleasure and find that I discover and understand more each time. The story and fantasy settings provide a glimpse into one possible hidden explanation of our observable world in Maleldil's will. If you enjoy any of Lewis's other writings this is definitely worth trying.

Narrated by Emmy Award–winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home—part of the Greatest Generation—who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts: the rationing of meat, dairy products, and sugar; an explosion of war-related jobs; and, despite mixed signals, a greater role for women working outside the home.

Excellent! But incessant breaks with credits along the way.

Well presented history
Revisado: 09-11-19
This is a series of podcasts collected into a book. The history is good, but some more editing to make it a continuous book would have made this better.

Out of the Silent Planet is the first novel of the Cosmic Trilogy, considered to be C.S. Lewis' chief contribution to the science fiction genre.

One of my most favorite books!
Revisado: 09-07-19
I consider this book (and the whole trilogy) to be one of the best sci-fi/fantasies. Lewis's mastery of the English language, his use of what was then (1938) known about intersolar travel, the subtle allegories to Christianity, and the revelation of the author/dictation at the end make this a story worth pondering and re-reading.

Don't listen to those nay-saying porpoises, this an excellent sequal, worthy of association with Stranger&Stranger

From a very young age, Gino Pastori knew he wanted to fly the iconic DC-3. He wanted to fly freight because it was flown at night. Gino shares his memories of what it took to become a commercial pilot and what it was like to live the dream. With more than 7,400 flying hours logged in DC-3s, there were many incredible flying stories. This memoir includes the most memorable stories, such as flying a plane after being temporarily blinded by a lightning strike.

Full of Pilot clichés, stories of luck & boasting.

What disappointed you about Taildragger Sunset: A DC-3 Pilot's Memoir?
That the author showcased his many poor aeronautical decisions, and how great of a pilot he was to have survived them, without pointing out his errors and what he could have/should have done differently. A few examples: the particular emphasis he put on not declaring an emergency to ATC during obviously emergency situations, knowingly flying into thunderstorms, obvious chronic fatigue from incredibly long work days/weeks/months, and other unnecessarily risky maneuvers in pursuit of maintaining the delivery schedule.It's no wonder why many of the small cargo airlines of yesteryear with dismal safety records are no longer in business.
Any additional comments?
IFR (+/- 200ft) & VFR rules, and obscure radio frequencies were repeated ad nauseam.
