Wonderful listen! Cooper has written an absorbing book that paints an accurate picture of early Dutch NY, and then Gilded Age NY. Lots of fascinating minutiae... delightful gossipy stuff as well as tragedies that befell his kin. Really- a fun listen from beginning to end (& he even pronounces "clapboard" right- what a guy!)

Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries - reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders, Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his number one hit podcast. Now with Mobituaries, the audiobook, he has gone much further, with all new essays on artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know the names, you’ve never understood why they matter...until now.

But her real romance begins when she discovers overpowering love for her daughter after years of ambivalence about motherhood.

Revisado: 05-10-21
Candice Bergen is funny, self-deprecating, & smart. A Fine Romance is like listening to friend tell an especially truthful version of their life story . Ms. Bergen's take on her own and humankind's foibles makes for fascinating, sometimes hilarious reading.

Rita Hayworth was the epitome of 1940s glamour. A legendary "Love Goddess", she was a huge box-office star, and her sultry beauty and sensational figure made her into one of Hollywood's greatest sex-symbols: a pin-up so incendiary that GIs pasted it on to the first atom bomb ever detonated.

Interesting Biography

An admirably factual biography that avoids speculation and editorializing. The narration is perhaps a bit flat, but without irritating quirks.

The intensely personal David Copperfield (widely regarded to be the most autobiographical of the author’s novels) is one of Dickens’ greatest works. We follow David Copperfield from birth and miserable childhood to inevitable tragedies, until he finally finds happiness later in life. Full of some of the most memorable characters in literary history. Nicholas Boulton’s depiction of the oily Uriah Heep and David Copperfield’s sinister stepfather, Murdstone, do the novel full justice.

In Watch Me, Huston tells the story of falling in love with Jack Nicholson and her adventurous, turbulent, high-profile, spirited 17-year relationship with him and his intoxicating circle of friends. She writes about learning the art and craft of acting, about her Academy Award-winning portrayal of Maerose Prizzi in Prizzi’s Honor.

Just Brilliant
Revisado: 09-11-19
Who knew? Turns out Anjelica Huston runs deep- she's a more-than-able writer, and seems to be an excellent human being to boot. Kind, thoughtful, & measured, this memoir held me rapt. Beautiful evocations of natural landscapes (especially Ireland) run throughout. Huston also details the gentler side of her dad convincingly. And what a life she's had! Such a wide array of lovers, homes, roles- all experienced in very posh circumstances. Great read.

Interesting Hollywood gossip, lousy narration.
Revisado: 07-18-19
A fun, largely light-weight read for lovers of 1960s Hollywood lore. Loads of sex & drug experiences described by the delightfully uninhibited author, who must have been a real man-killer. The narration leaves something to be desired- occasional mispronunciations & an insistence on a comical imitation of the male voice achieved by speaking in a low-register.

The Vanity Fair Diaries is the story of an Englishwoman barely out of her twenties who arrives in New York City with a dream. Summoned from London in hopes that she can save Condé Nast's troubled new flagship Vanity Fair, Tina Brown is immediately plunged into the maelstrom of the competitive New York media world and the backstabbing rivalries at the court of the planet's slickest, most glamour-focused magazine company. She survives the politics, the intrigue, and the attempts to derail her by a simple stratagem.

Inside the Mind of a Successful Woman
Revisado: 06-07-19
I very much enjoyed this read- and was pleasantly surprised by Ms. Brown's warmth, intelligence, and foibles. I found her take on the years she reigned at Vanity Fair to be delightfully gossipy- though never cruel. Her whip-smart observations on life, work, and colleagues are based in real decency, and an awareness of her own human-ness.
