Historia
Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late 30s took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic by Lucretius—a beautiful poem containing the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles.

The fact that the principals made it all the way to the modern world is amazing.

Historia
Sixteenth-century Spanish gentleman Don Quixote, fed by his own delusional fantasies, takes to the road in search of chivalrous adventures. But his quest leads to more trouble than triumph. At once humorous, romantic, and sad, Don Quixote is a literary landmark. This fresh edition, by award-winning translator Edith Grossman, brings the tale to life as never before.

Worthy of the Accolades
Revisado: 03-03-24
I hesitated listening Don Quixote because of the length and the premise of the story. It took a while for me to settle in, but when I did I loved it and did not want the story to end.
I loved the narrator, especially his interpretation of Sancho Panza, the real hero of the story.

Historia
I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Excellent and Accurate
Revisado: 04-12-18
Found the book to be very close to the real events. It is really historical fiction with the names changed. I enjoyed it very much and always love listening to Ray Porter,

Wonderful book. Describes the border accurately. I have lived here all my life and there is so much to love and so much to hate about it.

Historia
Macbeth: A Novel brings the intricacy and grit of the historical thriller to Shakespeare’s tale of political intrigue, treachery, and murder. In this full-length novel written exclusively for audio, authors A. J. Hartley and David Hewson rethink literature’s most infamous married couple, grounding them in a medieval Scotland whose military and political upheavals are as stark and dramatic as the landscape in which they are played.

really takes you back to the time of the civil war and events surrounding it. thought the performance was good but bill fell into his tv comentator voice a few times. it was almost like he was commenting on a current event. i enjoyed the listen.
