Historia
Tsukiko, 38, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, "Sensei", in a local bar. Tsukiko had only ever called him "Sensei" ("Teacher"). He is 30 years her senior, retired, and presumably a widower. Their relationship develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other as they eat and drink alone at the bar, to a hesitant intimacy, which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love.

Historia
Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

“A Reckoning indeed”
Revisado: 12-14-23
This was a great read/listen. After having a Trump, we could only wish to have a Romney. The insight provided by this book is nothing short of fantastic. Gov. Romney would be a great President, and I’m mostly a Democrat.
Well done!

Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer’s disease.

Revisado: 02-20-22
I didn’t read this great book until after watching the show about a month ago. This story is well told in a manner that it gave connection to the book and allowed more clarity on the characters and their personalities. This creative and relateable work is very well written and the narration is on point. Best book, I’ve enjoyed so far in 2022.

Nobody is in a better position to tell the story of the shocking final chapter of the Trump show than Jonathan Karl. As the reporter who has known Donald Trump longer than any other White House correspondent, Karl told the story of Trump’s rise in the New York Times best seller Front Row at the Trump Show. Now he tells the story of Trump’s downfall, complete with riveting behind-the-scenes accounts of some of the darkest days in the history of the American presidency.

Well written book that gives the inside track I look for in these types of books and the fly on the wall perspective. The final act of the Trump show appears to indeed have been the Final and only Go for Trump for the highest office of the land.
Must listen/read.

Historia
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.

This is an excellent listen, masterfully narrated, and put together. A very comprehensive view of the life of a great actor. Almost in many ways, unbelievable. Worth a listen if you're a fan.

Historia
In December 2003, after one of the largest, most aggressive manhunts in history, US military forces captured Iraqi president Saddam Hussein near his hometown of Tikrit. Beset by body-double rumors and false alarms during a nine-month search, the Bush administration needed positive identification of the prisoner before it could make the announcement that would rocket around the world. At the time John Nixon was a senior CIA leadership analyst who had spent years studying the Iraqi dictator.

Great insight on an ongoing War
Revisado: 10-24-20
This book did start very slow but gave great details and a ”fly on the wall” view of John Nixon's experience with Saddam Hussein, while also providing tremendous insight on the level and direction of the United States at the time. This book prompted me to go back to interviews with President Bush, Donald Rumsfield, and Saddam to get a better picture as to how/why Iraq and the middle east are at this moment. Very informative, listen.

Historia
Once Donald Trump’s fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried. This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump’s lawyer and “fixer”, Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump’s business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration.

I enjoyed the insight from someone who has known DT for many, many years. My thinking, if just a fraction of this writing is true should make a few ears perk up. Overall great listen, well done.
