Funny, touching, and inspiring, China Cuckoo is a rare and intimate portrait of life in rural China through the eyes of one man who has survived house fires, typhoons, corruption, and cultural clashes. It is an illustration of past and present China's relations with foreigners and it describes, in the words of one who has suffered and benefited from both, the risks and rewards of going "China cuckoo".

Great Multi-Faceted View of life in China
Revisado: 10-22-20
A small disclaimer: A Fortune Teller Told Me (Tiziano Terzani) is one of my favorite books, so I'm probably pre-disposed to liking this type of book, and China Cuckoo is in the same vein. It is a bit of travel, adventure, and The Money Pit (Tom Hanks film). But what is most interesting about China Cuckoo, is the layered view of China's history, It is set in the early and mid 2000s in a China that barely exists now, and the author sprinkles in history from the colonial era pre-WWII to set the stage for his discoveries in the mountain village of Moganshan near Shanghai. Reading it now, you can see how China has changed from just 10-15 years ago. 3 eras in 1 book! The real life characters in the book are revealed with candor and empathy, and I appreciated that there was no tone of condescension as you sometimes find in books about Asia. A good read, especially fun on road trips!

In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions listeners don't dare ask and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans.

This is exactly the kind of point of view that will complete loose people who have good intentions and want to learn.

An insider biography of the Black Crowes by drummer and cofounder Steve Gorman. In his first-person history of the Black Crowes, Hard To Handle - the first ever account of this great American rock band's beginning, middle, and end - Gorman makes it clear just how impossible that job was. Fortunately, Gorman tells the tale with great insight, candor, and humor. They don't make bands like the Black Crowes anymore: crazy, brilliant, self-destructive, inspiring, and, ultimately, not built to last. But, man, what a ride it was while it lasted.

Great Story
Revisado: 01-10-20
Was given this as Christmas present and did not expect it to be so good. Really liked
The balance between band drama and insights into the music business. Also, written/read by the drummer, which you can hear is a different perspective than other members in the band -
Pretty unique in band bios.

Welcome to Amazon! Several years ago, Amazon made a conscious choice to invest in downtown Seattle, even though it would've been cheaper to move to the suburbs. Amazon chose to commit to Seattle because they believed it was the right choice for Amazon employees and for the city. Now, Amazon's Headquarters is made up of over 30 office buildings. On this Amazon Headquarters Tour, you will learn how Amazon's unique urban campus is deeply connected to the surrounding community.

You will laugh. You will cry. You will cheer. And that’s just the first 5 chapters. Even if you’ve read the hard copy. Get the audio book! First book I’ve ever gifted - that’s how good it is.
