Didn’t miss anything
Revisado: 01-07-23
Hated Shakespeare since middle school because of the king James era language, but always thought I was missing out on knowing the stories. Good to know that I did not miss anything important

In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church.

Too tedious
Revisado: 02-26-21
I really wanted to like this book and hung in for several chapters but found the analyses excessively tedious for an audible book. Do not listen while driving as it is sedating.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Funny sad heartfelt and incredibly personal

Thoroughly immersed in mr Noah 's account of his childhood and the way he weaves it into South African history and culture. The way he recalls details from his past is quite amazing

The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

A very gripping and inspirational account of these gutsy kids from Washington U. Had not realized how huge rowing was in the country in those days! Very well narrated

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's portrait of the Jazz Age in all its decadence and excess, is, as editor Maxwell Perkins praised it in 1924, "a wonder". It remains one of the most widely read, translated, admired, imitated, and studied 20th-century works of American fiction.

truly a classic and better the 2nd time around
Revisado: 11-06-12
What made the experience of listening to The Great Gatsby the most enjoyable?
The very fact that I could listen to the book at my leisure, stop the recording when I choose, and reflect on the multiple meanings was the most valuable and enjoyable part.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Gatsby himself, much more of a complicated character than I recalled from the first time I read the book.
What does Tim Robbins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
What every great reader does which is to convey the emotion behind the words
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
both
