Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

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.

As she watches Sam gear up for Chinas Olympic culinary competition by planning the banquet of a lifetime, she begins to see past the cuisines artistry to glimpse its coherent expression of Chinese civilization.

Pepper Reece's to-do list is longer than the shopping list for a five-course dinner, as she conjures up spice blends bursting with seasonal flavor, soothes nervous brides fretting over the gift registry, and crosses her fingers for a rave review from a sharp-tongued food critic. Add to the mix a welcome visit from her mother, Lena, and she's got the perfect recipe for a busy summer garnished with a dash of fun.

What did you love best about Killing Thyme?
Cute story. Reminescent of Murder She Wrote... simple spice shop owner gets caught up in solving a murder in her community.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Narrator was good. My only critique is that it was tough to distinguish between characters both male and female at times.

Answered so many of my questions!!

Where does Basic Economics, Fifth Edition rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top 5.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The author did an impeccable job of making complex concepts easy to understand.
Have you listened to any of Tom Weiner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I had not heard any of Tom Weiner's other performances but his interpretation of what could be dry text came alive with the many examples given throughout the book.
Any additional comments?
So glad I found this one!!
