Historia
We begin with a nameless young couple: a boy and a girl, teenagers in love. One day, she disappears . . . and her absence haunts him for the rest of his life. Thus begins a search for this lost love that takes the man into middle age and on a journey between the real world and an other world—a mysterious, perhaps imaginary, walled town where unicorns roam, where a Gatekeeper determines who can enter and who must remain behind, and where shadows become untethered from their selves.

Extraordinary Writing
Revisado: 02-10-25
While this novel evolved over 40 years from a short novella, I read it as a fan of Murakami for the past 35 years. The story unfolds,with its iconic jazz references, continually emphasizing time, memory, and the contemporary notion of awareness. Undoubtedly there’s much to be said about this novel. But having just finished it, I believe this is a book that speaks to many dimensions of experience and existence, Classic Murakami but also a literary master pushing his craft beyond his own literary history. Extraordinary.

Historia
This audiobook is about luck, or more precisely, how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. It is already a landmark work, and its title has entered our vocabulary. In its second edition, Fooled by Randomness is now a cornerstone for anyone interested in random outcomes.

Satisfying Read
Revisado: 07-04-24
Undecided whether to praise the message or clever way it is delivered. Regardless it is as enjoyable as it is insightful and provocative.

Historia
An unprecedented look into the personal and creative life of the visionary auteur David Lynch, through his own words and those of his closest colleagues, friends, and family - adapted by David Lynch from the print book especially for this audio program. In this unique hybrid of biography and memoir, David Lynch opens up for the first time about a life lived in pursuit of his singular vision, and the many heartaches and struggles he’s faced to bring his unorthodox projects to fruition.

Insightful and engaging
Revisado: 01-27-23
Like other books I start this didn’t immediately click as one that would end being one I would recommend. But that’s the end result. There’s a lot packed into the book; I found it sublime.

Historia
Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks.

MASTERPIECE of Poetic Prose, Outstanding Narration

Compelling
Revisado: 12-21-22
Remarkable journey told as a 9 year old traveling from El Salvador with no family members to rejoin his parents in the U.S. Zamora's voice, as the writer and narrator, resonates in a way I felt at every level (particularly in the final chapter). Definitely a compelling read.
