take a bow mr elder, take a bow. this was great! it’s so relatable to my own parents and how they raised us. it’s so well written and read i felt constantly engaged. if you’re a larry elder fan then you owe it to yourself to hear his story. when a story makes you feel anger, laugh, and cry, you know it’s touched you. whole heartedly recommend.

this was great!

this was so compelling when they talk about the predictions for the future and most if not all have come true! it offers up some really interesting points about nations and the individual. fascinating listen.

The Road To Serfdom - Roman Edition

Revisado: 03-20-19

i’ve always been fascinated by Rome. culture, history, i even live in a British city built by the Romans (Chester). it’s really cool hearing about people, leaders not mentioned during history lessons at school, about who they were and what they did with their lives.
when you hear how the Romans watered down their laws you can’t help but think about modern day politics and just awe in thinking to yourself are we making the same mistakes? brilliant book imo. but this is for those of us who enjoy history. have to have the passion.

what a narration!

Revisado: 11-27-18

this was a fantastic story and listen. i wish science and history in school was as enjoyable as this book was.
really interesting hearing how the ancient Greeks asked how, but Isaac Newton asked why? fascinating.
this does warrant another listen and i want to do so while looking up the facts myself. it has spark an interest in me. credit to the author and narrator 👏

good listen and story

Revisado: 11-20-18

i always wanted to know the story of Andrew Breitbart and this was a great insight. it’s really sad he is no longer with us bc what a great person he was. i never knew he started off working for Arianna Huffington and that they were at a time friends. this backstory and the events of the main story really caught my attention. i had never heard the term “modified limited hangout” before either. so in honour i did what Mr Breitbart asks you to do.
it is sad he is no longer around. but do listen to his story and learn about the man.

this was brilliant!

throughly enjoyed this. went in unsure but it was so insightful and the view point given was eye opening.
you know, things like how women dress as men to be strong like a man. be ready to do a man’s job. men that dress as women are seeking God, because they will forever envy their mothers.
and examples are given.
same with the concept of women having power. why in modern day as well throughout history woman have power over children, or those not yet at adulthood. why men mostly assault and rape women. woman can’t more than they don’t. and they do, throughout history and literature but with minors, where they have the dominance.
this lead to a quote “experience always wins against innocents” it’s just so good at feeding your mind. i really wish i had read Camille Paglia when i was back in school, i wish they had taught us this book in school.
take a bow Camille Paglia, take a bow.
*applauds*

brilliant!

this was such a great and insightful listen. hearing about different cultures and groups, how much we’re alike and share the same traits. really made me think on a few things. Thomas Sowell is a great thinker and writer, but what a great performance by the narrator too.

didn’t enjoy

Revisado: 09-12-18

not too sure why i didn’t like this. i just found it really difficult to get into, trying to remember Russian names seems to be a mental block i have because other than the main characters i couldn’t follow/remember or imagine how the story was being told.
it’s a personal issue but one i have. the quality of the audiobook is there. although towards the end i changed the reading speed up to 1.25x.
not too sure why people consider this a classic. perhaps if you share a cultural connection with Russian literature but i don’t and never felt hooked.

read, not as good as an audiobook.

Revisado: 08-15-18

it’s alright. it starts well but feels like i am being read journal entries throughout. i am sure JH is a nice guy but from the midway point there’re tones of that American neo-liberal persona. it’s a personal taste i just can’t stand and ended up waiting and wanting the end to come.
mentioning that there’s diagrams and illustrations we should look at kind of misses the point of an audiobook. you can download them, but like my title, this is a book to be read not listened to.

for the individuals

Revisado: 08-07-18

i liked this right from the first chapter. it’s perfect for those of us that prefer individualism > the collective.
to work and to create.
