Historia
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

The new litarary classic
Revisado: 08-22-16
What made the experience of listening to The Martian the most enjoyable?
Andy Weir's ability to tell tales of catastrophic proportions, all while still keeping sarcastic humor in the mix, is what makes this story shine.
What other book might you compare The Martian to and why?
I don't read enough to tell you what I would compare it to, rather I believe I would compare other stories to this
Which scene was your favorite?
boredom leads a man to discussing with himself how exactly Aquaman's powers work.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, if fact I did listen to it all in 1 sitting
Any additional comments?

Historia
In 1941: Fighting the Shadow War: A Divided America in a World at War, historian Marc Wortman thrillingly explores the little-known history of America's clandestine involvement in World War II before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Prior to that infamous day, America had long been involved in a shadow war. Winston Churchill, England's beleaguered new prime minister, pleaded with Franklin D. Roosevelt for help. FDR concocted ingenious ways to come to his aid without breaking the Neutrality Acts.

a good story to expand the Percy Jackson Universe, but the real gold is the narrator, Robbie Daymond, who brings the character of Apollo to life with amazing results.

Predictable
Revisado: 07-11-16
In a story of lies and intrigue, listen as the author pretty much tells you the end of the story in the first 5 chapters without even knowing.

If one George Carlin audio is funny, then two are funnier and three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this new collection. t's a HighBridge library of laugh-out-loud, award-winning recordings featuring George himself performing many of his best bits.

The story of the Great boogeyman of Capitalism
Revisado: 05-06-16
we have all heard the Great economic battle of the Late 20th century: Capitalism vs Communism, but what is offered here is the story of that war through the eyes of the "evil" side. a great listen to show just how fragile peace was in a time of what could amount to an apocalyptic staredown, the Red Flag is a must for any person who is interested in the timeframe as well as the politics of the era.

Historia
This panoramic account of 1776 chronicles the other revolutions unfolding that year across North America, far beyond the British colonies. In 1776, Thomas Paine published Common Sense, the Continental Congress declared independence, and Washington crossed the Delaware. We are familiar with these famous moments in American history, but we know little about the extraordinary events occurring that same year far beyond the British colonies.

Historia
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

like a sprint, slow then speeds up then slows etc.
Revisado: 10-29-13
If you could sum up A Game of Thrones in three words, what would they be?
Nice Time Investment
What other book might you compare A Game of Thrones to and why?
don't know, it really is it's own style. But I don't read too much so I couldn't really answer
What does Roy Dotrice bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
the voice work was pretty nice and with a wide range of voice changes, it helped to separate the characters apart when you miss who it is that is actually talking
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes, but unfortunately that is pretty much impossible
Any additional comments?
Nice read and worth the time you put into it, though you may need to speed it up to 1.5-2x speed to get the enjoyment, otherwise it will be too slow to really pay attention to
