Historia
Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.

A classic properly presented
Revisado: 04-12-25
The Hobbit is of course a wonderful tale, and here it is read beautifully by Andy Serkis. His voices are subtle and incredible. You know exactly who is talking as soon as he starts a line. This is a wonderful way to experience the Hobbit.

Historia
In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Andy Serkis is brilliant
Revisado: 04-01-25
This is the best way to experience the books. Andy Serkis is of course a master of voices especially his own gollum, but his narration is clear and confident in a way that few readers would be with a work such as this. 10 stars out of 5.

Historia
How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

Did you grow up in the evangelical church?
Revisado: 06-23-22
Wow. This is an important book. I can’t really express how much this book is a must read for those of us who grew up in the evangelical world. It’s a shock, but an important one. The American church as a whole needs to take a really hard look at the direction it’s going. Are we following Jesus or someone or something else?

Historia
In 1981, emboldened by Ronald Reagan’s election, a group of some 50 Republican operatives, evangelicals, oil barons and gun lobbyists met in a Washington suburb to coordinate their attack on civil liberties and the social safety net. These men and women called their coalition the Council for National Policy. Over four decades, this elite club has become a strategic nerve centre for channelling money and mobilising votes behind the scenes.

This is a look into the right wing voltron that took over the Conservative party and subsequently most of the government. It’s wild.

Historia
For more than a century, activists in the United States have tried to reform the police. From community policing initiatives to increasing diversity, none of it has stopped the police from killing about three people a day. Millions of people continue to protest police violence because these “solutions” do not match the problem: The police cannot be reformed. In Becoming Abolitionists, Purnell draws from her experiences as a lawyer, writer, and organizer initially skeptical about police abolition.

Historia
Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.

Take the red pill
Revisado: 06-06-21
In 1999 the Wachowski brothers introduced us to the world of the Matrix. A world wherein all people are living in a world of lies that are taken for granted until you are offered the choice to take the blue pill and go back to sleep, or take the red pill and wake up to a new reality. This book is the red pill. So much of what I/we have taken for granted about the way our government is financed and the looming debt functions is completely wrong. This book is super exciting and informative and a real wake up to the sad truth that we are wasting time talking about how our government can pay for all the things that need to be done, instead of how we are going to do them. This book has given me a lot to think about and to wonder what I can do to try to move us forward and start making the future we have all been dreaming about.

Historia
Some Americans cling desperately to the myth that we are living in a post-racial society, that the election of the first Black president spelled the doom of racism. In fact, racist thought is alive and well in America - more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues in Stamped from the Beginning, if we have any hope of grappling with this stark reality, we must first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society.

Racism is not gone, it’s not defeated, it’s so baked into our identity and history as a country that it’s going to be incredibly difficult to finally kill. This is a truly eye opening book to begin understanding just how deep racism goes in the world and in our country.

Historia
Best-selling author, former White House speechwriter, and Atlantic columnist and media commentator David Frum explains why President Trump has undermined our most important institutions in ways even the most critical media has missed, in this thoughtful and hard-hitting book that is a warning for democracy and America's future. Quietly, steadily, Trump and his administration are damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy, perhaps irrevocably.

This book is a perfect conservative response to the problem that is Trump. This is the book for any conservative that still thinks Trump is “our man.”

Historia
Derek Black grew up at the epicenter of white nationalism. His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned 19, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show - already regarded as the "the leading light" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. "We can infiltrate," Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. "We can take the country back." Then he went to college.

This book is important
Revisado: 10-30-18
This book is important. I can’t think of a more important book for people to read in our incredibly politically charged world right now. Learning the importance and the impact that the way we interact with those whom we disagree is vital to our future. Beyond all of that this book is incredibly engrossing in the amazing life change that it chronicles. Read it now.
