Historia
In Unruly, David Mitchell explores how early England’s monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects’ destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.

Never thought I would get through a 11 hour treatise on the English Monarchy. I mean if you have me a choice between this subject and a 11 hour book on the evolution of snails... i would possibly seek to gain more knowledge on the shelled beings ancestors.
However, with David Mitchell at the forefront this was an absolutely rollicking ride. His clear and concise telling interspersed with his trademark views and humor made it an absolute joy. Can't wait for his next subject!

Historia
George Orwell was more than just a writer. He was a political and social sage who valued, above all else, individual freedom. His works aren’t just entertainment - they’re cautionary tales and red flags of warning. And if we ever hope to understand threats to freedom and how to stop them, we must learn from them. In these 24 lectures, learn how the man born as Eric Blair forged himself into a writer of international importance and renown.

A Real Man
Revisado: 01-31-21
Amazing life. He went through all sorts of tribulations and was the Uber human. I loved all aspects of the story from childhood to his fame. The reactions to Animal Farm from the community was especially amusing.
Must read for anyone who has read Animal Farm and 1984 at minimum.

Historia
David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

Historia
With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock-and-roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done. Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life....

Absolutely entertaining from start to finish.
Revisado: 01-15-17
This was completely an absorbing and entertaining book. Never has existentialism been so easy absorb and understand. This is an extremely valuable book for anyone who needs an introduction to Existentialism.
Do wish though that maybe a little more on pre 1900s was there to appreciate the movement a bit more but still it doesn't take anything away.
The narrator was excellent as well. The content came across as almost personal. Well done.
