In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story.

Great book. Now I’m examining my healthcare privileges and thinking about a much broader world.

John Green shines as a non-fiction author and educator. He’s mostly only known by fiction but I really enjoyed this. I hope he writes (and reads) on more topics.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Not understanding the praise for this one.
Revisado: 03-18-23
Struggled to finish. Fancy prose doth not a good story make. Perhaps I just need the "How" explained more than the "what" to enjoy myself.

Persuasion, Jane Austen's last novel, is a tale of love and marriage told with irony and insight. Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth have met and seperated years before. Their reunion, after the passage or irrecoverable years of their youth, forces a recognition of the false values that drove them apart.

Good book eh narration
Revisado: 05-01-22
I love Jane Austen so I was excited to see Persuasion free on audible but I didn’t really like the narrator. The sounds went in and out, there were long pauses for no reason, and there was no music at beginning of end where it abruptly stopped. If you want to get the full effect of the book I would suggest listening to another version

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The best and most intricate fantasy series
Revisado: 03-12-13
This series requires patience at times to allow to unfold but it's the best and most intricate series ever written. Most things matter and all 13 books are wrapped up neatly by this one. A true masterpiece.

Between what can be learned from evolutionary psychology and cognitive science a picture emerges. In Sex, Murder, and the Meaning of Life, social psychologist Douglas Kenrick fuses these two fields to create a coherent story of human nature. In his analysis, many ingrained, apparently irrational behaviors—one-night stands, prejudice, conspicuous consumption, even art and religious devotion—are quite explicable and (when desired) avoidable.

A harmony of personal stories and science
Revisado: 08-20-12
The authors frankness about his own life and how it related to studies was what kept me interested in this book over many other similar books I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and walked away with at least two concepts of human behavior that will change how I view humanity forever. If you like behavioral science and real life examples of how and why humans do what they do I recommend this right up there next to "The Happiness Hypothesis" which can also be found here on Audible.
