Historia
In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the Big One - the blockbuster story every journalist secretly dreams about - without even looking for it. A simple phone call concerning an unexceptional pending drug trial turned into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine dealers, and the Central Intelligence Agency.

I found my self pleasantly surprised countless times reading this book despite how at times some of the details seemed to drag on. I would definitely recommend this book and will re-read it eventually.

Historia
Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly – especially when it strikes without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting research on not-so-random weather data – and how Washington plans to release it.

I found the book to be insightful at face value with some really interesting tidbits thrown in. Overall a good short read that if I didn't have such a long list of titles to read for the first time I would definitely review this a second time.

Historia
In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets.

I enjoyed it but it was not quite what I expected, I seemed to get lost in how the story seemed to focus around major corporate players as I was expected it to be more centered around the average American for instance. But it was good enough that I would listen to it again.

Historia
We're all used to encountering even the most hardcore porn from the comfort and privacy of our computer screens, but how many of us would go see it live? Thought Catalog editor Chelsea Fagan did, spending an evening in the world of live sex shows and hardcore pornography. Here, she gives us the guided tour to everything from rules about condoms to the pressure of facials, showing us a world that is at once completely familiar and something we've never quite seen before.

Interesting short read on a live porn show
Revisado: 10-23-21
Overall it was humerous, entertaining and insightful. It would have been more interesting if it had been a deeper and broader dive into porn in general, Perhaps this will become a sort of series about porn.

Historia
It’s a tantalizing offer to anyone fallen on hard times: Here’s a business that promises to make you $150,000, in just a couple of years. All it costs to get started is $250 - and a dream. A salesman from the network marketing company, Amway, made this pitch to Erik German’s father in the early 1980's touching off the darkest chapter in his family’s past. Two decades later, German investigates the grim reality behind the gleaming promises of a company that offers personal deliverance in the service of selling soap.

I appreciated this book very much as it shows a lot of what is typically wrong with the business world and sales in general (In most instances). I just wish he had found and included some similar horror stories (As I am sure there are plenty), That would have really took this book to another level in my opinion. It's sad to think so many people have similar stories with countless other companies.

Historia
Dion Fuller sheltered a US marine who'd stolen night vision goggles, and perhaps a few top-secret files, from a nearby military base. Dion found himself arrested (under the ostensible auspices of The Patriot Act) for conspiring with international terrorists to smuggle top-secret military equipment out of Camp Pendleton. The fact that Dion had absolutely nothing to do with international terrorists, smuggling, top-secret military equipment, or Camp Pendleton didn't seem to bother the military.

The book was quite insightful if you paid attention however the ending left a lot to be desired. Conspiracy theory of today will be fact tomorrow, As has been seen many times throughout history.

Historia
University of Berkshire Hathaway is a remarkable retelling of the lessons, wisdom, and investment strategies handed down personally from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to shareholders during 30 years of their closed-door annual meetings. From this front row seat, you'll see one of the greatest wealth-building records in history unfold, year by year. If you're looking for dusty old investment theory, there are hundreds of other books waiting to cure you of insomnia. However, if you're looking for an investing book that's as personal as it is revelatory, look no further.

Good narration but mediocre content.
Revisado: 10-13-21
If you want to hear someone's interpretation of the Berkshire Hathaway annual meetings then by all means go for it. For me personally while there was some useful tidbits here and there the book was a waste of many hours in my opinion as the majority of the knowledge gained could have be condensed to a hour or less probably and I would bet is readily available from most with business acumen for free on YouTube or other sources. I would love to see something like this from Warren Buffett himself.

Historia
Meals are perhaps the most important aspect of prison life. They keep inmates alive, both physically and emotionally, as mess halls and common areas provide a level of social interaction in an otherwise lonely situation. Albert "Prodigy" Johnson served three-and-a-half years in prison, and during that time his focus was on his health - an almost impossible feat behind bars, where many inmates often enter the prison system healthy but leave with diabetes and hypertension.

Historia
Hear Attorney General Janet Reno talk about the new investigation into the FBI's role in the Branch Davidian standoff and fire. The FBI is investigating reports that agents used pyrotechnic tear gas canisters hours before the cult's followers were found dead in the smoking remains of the Waco compound. The revelations come after 6 years of denials by the FBI that its agents did anything during the confrontation that would have sparked the explosions and the fire that reduced the Branch Davidian compound to ashes and debris. This program was recorded live. It was Reno's first opportunity to address the new developments in the case.

I misinterpreted the title and figured it would be an autobiography or something like that only to be quite surprised it was not, That being said Diddy does give many credible tips for what the book is written about.
