Historia
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Fantastic reading of a great sleeper novel IMHO. Wanted to feel some of that nostalgia from the movie, and this outshined in so many ways.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Historia
Prairie Fire is a guide for Red Counties to survive and thrive during what looks to be another Civil War brewing. Drawing on his experience in Special Forces with counterinsurgency, the author creates a step-by-step road map to making it out alive. Featuring the same gallows humor mixed with real-world examples as Concrete Jungle: A Green Beret's Guide to Urban Survival, Prairie Fire is the spiritual successor made specifically for those in rural areas.

I wonder what impact giving this book a 5-star rating will have on my social credit score? Oh wait, you addressed that in your last chapter, and I agree, "f*** that"! Well worth the read!

What an immense and immersive fantasy

The world Rothfuss creates is massive, immensely intriguing, and immersive. I can't wait to continue the story in book two.

Newcago is free. They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand.Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though.

Dove into this right after finishing Steelheart, and having finished this, am heading straight to purchase Calamity. This has been another great installment in the series, and a satisfying progress for many of the characters.

Not as substantive as I remember from childhood
Revisado: 02-07-20
I think this felt more "epic" as a kid listening to TLTWATW growing up. As an adult it didn't seem to pace well, and there was no significant arc in the story. So much so, that as I'm writing this, I feel compelled to check and see if I actually purchased an abridged edition. Other than it not holding up well from my youth, the story is solid and the world building was done well, just wish it offered more than an improvised-bedtime-story-ish feel.

Historia
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

Crazy business!!!
Revisado: 02-07-20
This was my first Brandon Sanderson book so I wasn't sure what to expect, but OH MY GOODNESS was this crazy good. The pacing, plot and characters were top notch, the performance was incredible and the story drew me in from the start. I found myself sitting in the car or staying a few minutes after work to hear just a little bit more, could not put it down. Excellent listen and will be picking up the next in the series.

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.

Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God's mind or ours or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father who invites us into an eternal partnership through prayer.

- Prayer
- Does It Make Any Difference?
- De: Philip Yancey
- Narrado por: Philip D. Yancey, Larry Black
Some great insight, but overlong and disjointed
Revisado: 10-26-19
I read Yancey's "Disappointment with God" prior to this book, and was significantly more impressed. This book offers some great insights, and for me, encouragement in my prayer life; however, after reading I feel I know more about what "goes with" genuine prayer, but less so about what authentic prayer looks like. To be completely fair, maybe that is always a personal thing though, and doesn't lend itself to an instruction manual (as much as I wish it did).
The performance was good, (I've never heard the word "humble" pronounced with a silent "h" before) but other than the only detractor was what I assume a poor windscreen on the recording mic, as you can occasionally hear the performers recovery breath, and for a time was distracting, but didn't prove a significant hindrance to the material.
