Why does fashion hold so much power over us? Most of us care about how we dress and how we present ourselves. Style offers clues about everything from class to which in-group we belong to. Bad Feminist for fashion, Dress Code takes aim at the institutions within the fashion industry while reminding us of the importance of dress and what it means for self-presentation. Everything—from societal changes to the progress (or lack thereof) of women’s rights to the hidden motivations behind what we choose to wear to align ourselves with a particular social group—can be tracked through clothing.

I really loved the first half of the book which detailed a lot of fashion history in context of its historical relevance. Such an interesting field of study. I googled designer’s collections as I listened— fun. The second part of the book entered into more social political critique which felt a bit preachy— not that she’s wrong, but was less fun. Would have really loved for her to have taken on a little more with the Q yoga moms and the Shamen guy’s dress in the capitol— just because I don’t know anything about that— would like to learn how it’s seen through her lens.

Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest.

Great audible
Revisado: 01-20-20
This is what audible is about. Listening to amazing epics with great voices and solid sound engineers. Loved the story, and experience of listening.

The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late 20th-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. An air force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light.

Was it me?

I kept waiting for the infinitely deeper symbolic meaning of life. Never quite happened. But, it was enjoyable and I would recommend. Easy listen.

This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of "basic stories" in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it reveals that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling.

Absolutely love

I like patterns, and this book is full of the patterns of our literature. Especially liked learning about hamlet and the epic of Gilgamesh. Neat. Easy listen.

In 1957, four years before his death, Carl Gustav Jung, psychiatrist and psychologist, began writing his life story. But what started as an exercise in autobiography soon morphed into an altogether more profound undertaking. The result is an absorbing piece of self-analysis: a frank statement of faith, philosophy, and principles from one of the great explorers of the human mind.

Great reader for Jung
Revisado: 01-20-20
This audio book is well performed and enjoyable to the ear. Thank you.
Jung, telling his stories is so lovely.
But, it must be stated that he is a man of his time, and the sections about Africa and India are not of our own— hopefully. Quite racist. Not attempting to take away from his POV. Many parts are exquisite. But, I cannot overlook and ignore. Human.
