Historia
When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali—a seemingly benevolent alien race—intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth—but salvation comes at a price.

interesting and unique setting. a touch of social psycholog and sci-fi pondering
Revisado: 05-05-25
the story and narrator flowed very well. I finished the book quickly and was engaged the whole time. but, it never really pulled me in or got me emotionally invested. when it was over I was kind of disappointed that nothing more profound emerged. ultimately, good story idea that never really hit the mark of making me feel profound emotions about the essence of humanity.

Historia
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years chronicles Miller's rare opportunity to edit his life into a great story and to reinvent himself so nobody shrugs their shoulders when the credits roll. When his producers begin fictionalizing Don's life for the film—changing a meandering memoir into a structured narrative—the real-life Don starts a journey to make his actual life into a better story.

Inspiring story about living a good story
Revisado: 05-23-23
one of my top 5 favorite books of all time! it provides new language to describe the life i want to be living, gentle reminders about how to take full advantage of the gift that is life. The examples the author gives to clarify the premises are fun and light, not preachy, but authentically providing "self-help". It is a must read!

Historia
One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

What in the heck happened?????
- De Melinda en 02-05-14
boring story from excellent writing
Revisado: 05-22-23
a very long story with no story line development, no arch no climatic events. It feels like it is telling the same story, with a new generation of characters, over and over again. The writing is really good, so it is worth reading a section, but there is no need to read beyond the first couple of chapters, nothing meaningful happens (except the last couple of pages, which is a cool idea).

quite weird
Revisado: 05-23-22
I had to finish it because it was so weird and I needed to see where the author was going with it. But I didn't really enjoy it. It was a collection of strange details about house keeping, then a couple of completely left field twists that came out of nowhere and seemed desperate to make the story interesting.

Historia
Western medicine has not been particularly successful at getting people relief from conditions like depression, chronic pain, migraine headaches, addiction, and PTSD. Dr. Tafur helps us to understand why. Too often, the Western medical approach fails to address the emotional dimension of illness. This is where traditional plant medicines, with their ability to alter consciousness and open channels of communication to our emotions, offer so much promise.

poetry for healthy consciousness
Revisado: 06-17-18
Beautiful metaphors to remind us to not get wrapped up in the valuation of the elements of life and nature. It is short and sweet with a few statements that should be truely internalized.

An inspiring story of an inspiring man.
Revisado: 05-22-18
I now have a new hero. The story is well lived and well told. I am inspired to spend more time in communties with the people I want to serve. I was reminded of the best things in life and the greatest (most worthwhile) struggles. The book is truely touching. Farmer is a reasonable man to be considered an ideal.
