This brilliant new treatment of the world's oldest epic is a literary event on par with Seamus Heaney's wildly popular Beowulf translation. Esteemed translator and best-selling author Stephen Mitchell energizes a heroic tale so old it predates Homer's Iliad by more than a millennium.

It is a 2 hour book and then a 2 hour book about the impact of the book.

Tell Tale Heart Revisited
Revisado: 01-31-19
Excellent writing and narration. Didn't drone on like some of King's books. Definitely a page turner that moves at a good pace. Very similar to the tell tale heart by Edgar Allen Poe but longer and with more detail.

Power is changing. Private corner offices and management by decree are out, as is unquestioned trust in the government and media. These former pillars of traditional power have been replaced by networks of informed citizens who collectively wield more power over their personal lives, employers, and worlds than ever before. So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.

Terrible useless drivel. Republicans and most men are power hungry sociopaths. Liberals, women and specifically Obama are angels/saviors/victims. If you think that now, this will not expand your view at all, but maybe you get a few talking points. If you don't believe that when you start, the rhetoric is so strong that any legitimate point is lost in it. Not worth the $0 I paid.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 21
A scoundrel with a secret seeks the key to escaping the end of the world. An exiled gunslinger, waiting to die, is called back for one more job. A radioactive man is sold into service as an assassin by a mysterious cult.
As their stories intertwine, all three are caught between rival mobs, an invincible killer, and a plot to upset an uneasy peace between once-warring nations. While far above the planet, a phantasmal apocalypse looms.

Not my normal genre but a great book
Revisado: 01-18-18
What did you love best about Fantasmagoria?
Very unique. I read a lot of audio books and they can get repetitive. This book keeps you on your toes. Rare for a story like this to develop the characters or the story as well as he did while keeping the over the top adventure/comedy.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Fantasmagoria?
Ha, if i had one word to describe this book it would be memorable. So, i guess the whole book is memorable. few examples; drugged up dinosaurs, cannibal fairies, hookers licking exposed nerves.
Any additional comments?
I normally read classical literature, non fiction and Historical fiction. Rarely do I enjoy a fantasy novel. The characters dont normally have any depth and the stories are always full of plot holes. this book was able to develop characters and provide a realistic adventure in an outlandish fantastical world. Never boring and always unique. if you are looking for something different than you have ever read, this is the book for you.
Closest comparisons i could come up with would be the movie- Sin city with crazier characters.

In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in the country, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America. Pundits and politically motivated economists trumpet ambiguous statistics and sensational theories while ignoring the true determinant of income inequality: the production of wealth.

Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman gives an understated and exemplary performance of this satiric look at the unreality of American media culture. Chance, the enigmatic gardener, becomes Chauncey Gardiner after getting hit by a limo belonging to a Wall Street tycoon. The whirlwind that follows brings Chance to his new status of political policy advisor and possible vice presidential candidate. His garden-variety political responses, inspired by television, become heralded as visionary, and he is soon a media icon.

Dustin Hoffman Narrated This Book Perfectly
Revisado: 02-25-16
Where does Being There rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
average. book great narration
Any additional comments?
Very unique.
I bought this book on a Daily Deal with no knowledge of the story. Dustin Hoffman was perfect for this book. This was a pretty good book but i honestly think Hoffman took it from a 2* to a 4*. I cant remember a book that was as positively affected by a narrator.
