I have always admired, adored, and respected this brilliant woman. I loved learning more about her background and life story. She was not only strong of mind, but strong in spirit and courage. Thank you for this excellent book. You are a hero. Rest easy amongst the beautiful stars that you loved so much with God now, Mrs. Johnson.

Historia
Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford’s “trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy” (Publishers Weekly), Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult brings us on a quest to participate in something.

Great comedy and performance

I love how she has taken the most painful times in her life and not only found humor in them but encourages others who may also be struggling with mental health issues. She is a supportive survivor who is creative, funny, and a great performer.

Historia
As the only African-American soloist dancing with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland has made history. But when she first placed her hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no one expected the undersized, anxious 13-year-old to become a groundbreaking ballerina. Life in Motion is a story of passion and grace for anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.

Ok but a bit off-putting
Revisado: 05-25-23
This lovely woman so beautifully accomplished much and worked hard to get there. It is inspiring. However, her referring to herself as “a prodigy” multiple times and frequently pointing out in detail
how fantastic she is throughout the book is off-putting. Even with all of the self-aggrandizement, this book may serve to bring more diversity to ballet. I so hope it does. As for the narrative, she was difficult to understand. For the longest time, whenever she said “artistic” director it sounded like “autistic” director. I would listen to sections several times to try and discern what she was saying but on several occasions I had to give up.

Historia
Four decades after it first shook the nation, then the world, William Peter Blatty's thrilling masterwork of faith and demonic possession returns in an even more powerful form. Raw and profane, shocking and blood-chilling, it remains a modern parable of good and evil and perhaps the most terrifying novel ever written.

People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

Historia
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

A smart, down-to-earth, and very wise leader. He eloquently points out how rigid, non contextual decisions made by military leaders nowhere near the battlefield who stick to “do what I say…PERIOD” can lead to catastrophic consequences. THIS leader is bright, wise, immerses himself into every aspect possible of the enemy to gain intelligence, and listens to his subordinates, Great for anyone who loves military history and useful for all others to consider when making life decisions. Well-written, engaging, intelligent, and witty. Oh, and the narrator is SUPERB!!! All around a winner!!

Historia
In one of the most compelling combat narratives ever written, Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, an Army infantry platoon leader in Iraq, gives a teeth-rattling, first-hand account of 11 straight days of heavy house-to-house fighting during the climactic second battle of Fallujah. His actions in the firefight, which included killing five insurgents in hand-to-hand combat, earned Bellavia the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and New York state's highest military honor, the Conspicuous Service Cross.

Revisado: 09-06-22
I have read many war memoirs and this hands-down is one of the best. It provides a moving, realistic account of the life of a soldier, an infantryman and leader. It is raw, exceptionally well-written, and honest. DO NOT PASS THIS ONE OVER!! Soldiers like these make our military the best on the planet.
