Pre-Star Trek pre-Star Wars brilliance!

A great way to learn.

Ellison's intros and each authors afterwards. I learned so much about the craft and the process and how the sausage is made.

One of the best in the series!
Revisado: 02-10-22
If ever a movie was to be made from the books in this series, The Council of the Cursed would be ripe for adaptation. It is filled with twists and turns and action that make it one of the best in the series!

Good until the end.
Revisado: 11-03-21
Typical Grisham. strong characters and story and a nice rise in tension. But the climax was unsatisfying and the denouement was far too long. What started as a thriller turned into a cozy and really into a snooze.

Historia
After getting rejected from many business schools and fired from several sales jobs, Srinivas Rao decided to stop doing what he thought he was supposed to do and start working in a way that felt honest. He launched the Unmistakable Creative Podcast to interview some of the greatest minds in business - including Seth Godin, Simon Sinek, Pam Slim, Elle Luna, and Ryan Holiday - and found a surprisingly big audience.

- De: Srinivas Rao
- Narrado por: Srinivas Rao
Great content; horrible reading.
Revisado: 09-14-21
Not every author should read their own work and this is an example of that. Mr. Rao reads way too fast in a monotone voice and his voice drops off at the end of sentences. Often the most important word of a sentence, such as a name or a key concept, is at the end, so this interfered with my understanding and enjoyment of the book. But I still was able to get quite a bit out of it, and it is was good. I would recommend reading this one rather than listening to it.

Historia
The light of the Christian faith is flickering out all over the West. American churches are beset by a rapidly secularizing culture, the departure of young people, and watered-down pseudo-spirituality. Political solutions have failed, as the self-destruction of the Republican Party indicates, and the future of religious freedom has never been in greater doubt. The center is not holding. The West, cut off from its Christian roots, is falling into a new Dark Age.

Taking Benedict's Name in Vain
Revisado: 01-03-21
Rod Dreher wants to use Benedictine spirituality to preserve wealthy straight white men's hold on knowledge and power. This is not the way of Jesus Christ and it is a misuse of St. Benedict's rule. Benedictine spirituality is beautiful and holy, and it would undoubtedly be beneficial for more Christians to make use of it. This book is not the way to go about it, nor does it provide good reasons to.

Historia
Pocket has been Lear's cherished fool for years. So naturally Pocket is at his brainless, elderly liege's side when Lear demands that his kids swear to him their undying love and devotion. Of course Goneril and Regan are only too happy to brownnose Dad. But Cordelia believes that her father's request is kind of...well...stupid, and her blunt honesty ends up costing her her rightful share of the kingdom and earns her a banishment to boot.

One of the funniest books I've ever read.
Revisado: 10-24-20
This book is not tor everyone. The humor is absolutely filthy and profane and scatalogical and borders on pornographic. But it made me laugh, often, and it is one of the most original comedies I've ever read. Of course, I dont usually read books with quite so much wanking and bonking, and this is the first book I've ever read that refers to dragon spunk. Oh yes -and knockers. Magnificent knockers. Need I say more?

So good!

A bit more of a romance than the previous three, Lethal White still delivers one hell of a mystery! Rowling is an effing treasure to the English language.

Unlike many advice-givers, Block doesn't tell you what book to write, or the one and only way to write it. He holds that every novel is different, and so is every novelist; his aim is to give you the tools to enable you to find your own way.

Historia
Here for the first time, in rich human, political, and scientific detail, is the complete story of how the bomb was developed, from the turn-of-the-century discovery of the vast energy locked inside the atom to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan. Few great discoveries have evolved so swiftly - or have been so misunderstood. From the theoretical discussions of nuclear energy to the bright glare of Trinity, there was a span of hardly more than 25 years.

Now more than ever, this is an important book!
Revisado: 10-25-17
This is equal parts biography, history, and nuclear science. The level of detail is exhaustive and thus this book is best for the serious student. This us the definitive book on this topic and with our world again on the brink of nuclear war, it is more important than ever before.
