"In mid-July of 1879, John Muir sailed for the first time through the sheer-walled fjords of Alaska's Inside Passage. 'Never before this,' he wrote, 'had I been embosomed in scenery so hopelessly beyond description.' During the previous 15 years, Muir had vanished into the north woods of Canada, walked a thousand miles from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico, and nested himself in the granite heart of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Wild nature burned with volcanic intensity in the core of John Muir's soul."

Beautiful Story, Poor Naration
Revisado: 06-16-18
I chose to read Travels in Alaska because I soon will be traveling to Alaska, on holiday! The author is so descriptive, I felt like I was actually there. Sadly the reader did not portray much emotion and kind of seemed to speed through the story, especially the long descriptive parts. But I still would recommend; I think it’s worth a listen. But also would recommend slowing down the playback speed, or re-listening to parts if you don’t feel like you got it all. It’s worth the extra time to really listen to what Muir has to say.

It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

This book is about an alternative history in which nazi Germany and imperial Japan win world war 2. It seems like it would have been an amazing thought experiment when it came out, but 50+ years later, it's just not that interesting. Also the story lines don't intersect as much as I would have liked, and the characters are too shallow. With all the jumping around, I feel like I never got to know any of the characters or understand their motivations. Also I feel like the world could have been built out a little more to add some depth.
