Ironic Meta Irony

Revisado: 02-27-24

I cannot wait to see the movie adaptation, American Fiction, but fear it cannot match the novel but I have great hope. This novel tells the story of a story of a story of another story for rotations of reality and non/reality. Probably a requirement of all art. The social comment here is damning of popular culture and the general way people see things through gross generalizations looking for evidence of what is already placed in one’s consciousness. A real thinking person novel with interesting and hilarious use of narrative.

This is the Story-Blow-by-Blow

Revisado: 07-20-23

Important to remember how bad things were, what was done to try to stop it and to be reminded of how far we have to go to fulfill the dream. MLK was a visionary and a brave leader, worts and all. Eig’s writing style is engaging, as well as riveting. You cannot read this without being moved.

Beautifully written true story of how even imperfect love and circumstances can create an incredible success story

Revisado: 07-06-23

A story that could only be told by a creative and gifted fiction writer is actually a true story recounted by the person that lived the incredible story and with a happy ending. Another story where fact is stranger than fiction and shows how love is the only engine of survival.

Vying for Trumps Secretary of State

Why would the US stop being the world wide globalization protector. We won’t stop and you get a lot of some geography questions answered. Good luck Peter!

Important

Revisado: 12-04-22

Understanding cultural differences cannot be underestimated. America (and probably all nations) have infused biblical understanding by its own cultural underpinnings. Biblical translation is imperative to understand. Take “me” out of the equation in scripture broadens one’s understanding. An excellent book on the importance of what scripture can mean vs what is it says.

Don’t Panic Yet

Revisado: 04-18-22

Having been fortunate enough to receive a liberal arts education including the study of economics & political science, much of the underlying information included in this book was already known to me. However, the historical cycles & quantitative numbers for each of the strength/weakness categories were not. Unfortunately, just looking at the quantitative analysis does not give a clear picture of the future of the U.S. China has known these factors for 40 years and have manipulated the calculus of their economy accordingly in their very controlled economy. Watch “Why China Will Not Become the Dominant Power in Asia” created by the Australian National University. The simple answer of why China should not scare you is the unsustainable labor force and it’s inability to control its economic growth in the future. Although Dalio is correct in his (and my) concern about U.S. internal strife, he say’s nothing about China’s, which is real & will play a major part in its economic future. But, nonetheless, Dalio has written a great book!

Better be Russian

Revisado: 03-17-22

Only a Russian could fully follow this story. Chocked full of facts and told from a specific (Andropov) point of view, I doubt the need for naming every actor on the stage helps in understanding the history. And this “history” has a heavy dose of opinion.

Paul Simon Intersective

Revisado: 01-15-22

The best explanation of an artist and his work. Done in the now famous and compelling style of Malcolm Gladwell. Anyone interested in how an artist produced their art will appreciate the depth and authenticity of the voluminous and well thought out body of Paul Simons work. Done in a way that captures the process (or non-process) that is that canon of Paul Simon’s production over 65 years. Any aspiring singer-songwriter must listen to this audiobook.

Walter Isaacson sires has a way about his subjects!

Revisado: 01-04-22

I like everything about how blended Prsonal stories with high-level subject’s not commonly addressed in the popular press. My only complaint is that some I could tell when he staying something of his thoughts or quoting one of his subjects. This problem may be limited to the audio version but did take anything from it. I think I have read all his other book and hopes he just about to finish one on crypto currency!
