The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul...of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother.

I’m spending three weeks traveling throughout Belgium, England and Scotland. It’s been great to listen to this book while exploring Europe’s cathedrals and abbeys. Thank you for bringing these structures to life.

In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen’s unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior.

Outstanding Perspective on the Evolution of the Conservative Movement, and the Devolution of GOP to become MAGA
Revisado: 08-14-24
BTC provides an outstanding perspective on how the GOP party has devolved to become a party without a cause other than to destroy any form of government in the United States. From congress members like Matt Gatz and MTG, to Trump, the GOP/MAGA movement is not focused on improving this country, but focused on turning back to clock at any cost. From embracing white nationalist, to defunding programs and then declaring them somehow, ironically, unable to function. Well worth the read. I only wish there was a way to get more voters to read this big picture perspective.

A concise, brilliant, and trenchant examination of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s successful lifelong quest for the presidency by National Book Award winner Evan Osnos. President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest - fortunate to have sustained a 50-year political career that reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses and disappointments that he has suffered.

Good Overview
Revisado: 11-11-20
It’s a good overview of the adult life of Joe Biden. Little focus on his early years, and almost no focus on his early political activities. Nice short summary

Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

This is an outstanding audio production of the Grapes of Wrath. I throughly enjoyed the narrators depiction of the various characters voices, as well as the tempo and vocal nuances. This is an amazing book, and the narration does it the justice it deserves. Thank you!

One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal on her way to work, Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Unable to resist her own curiosity, Grace opens the suitcase, where she discovers a dozen photographs - each of a different woman. In a moment of impulse, Grace takes the photographs and quickly leaves the station. Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg, leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London during the war.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 1,719
At a time when the edge of American settlement barely reached beyond the Appalachian Mountains, two visionaries, President Thomas Jefferson and millionaire John Jacob Astor, foresaw that one day the Pacific would dominate world trade as much as the Atlantic did in their day. Just two years after the Lewis and Clark expedition concluded in 1806, Jefferson and Astor turned their sights westward once again. Thus began one of history's dramatic but largely forgotten turning points in the conquest of the North American continent.

Outstanding history of this important period

Loved this book which profiled the crossing of an entrepreneurial venture - to create a Pacific Empire. An amazing part of America history I've never heard of before, which seems to be lost until this book. As a fan of history, you owe it to yourself to read this exciting story of two adventures.

Excellent Book.
Revisado: 10-01-03
I'd seen the book on the shelves, and though "Oh no, not another organizing book." However, I saw a review that sparked my interest, so I bought the Audible version of GTD. Incredible! Simplified my life and my work so much! I manage my own business with 25 employees and I felt overwehlmed. Now I feel like I've got so much free time... my mind (mental RAM) is free! Its like I have my life back. Its created a lot the mental freedom that I can now devote to my wife and new baby girl. Thanks David!
