Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

JD Vance’s Memoir Inspired Me! Bravo! Bravo!
Revisado: 07-22-24
From the start JD’s honest and transparent voice put me along side him on his journey. It’s heartbreaking at times; however, his faith and endurance assures the reader that this man will find a way to make lemonade out of lemons! And now, an excitement in knowing that our next chapter in Washington DC will have such a wide range of experience in the White House to find American solutions for us all!
Best wishes, Mr. Vice President!!

A modern American classic and a family saga that spans decades, this is the story of the volatile Tom Wingo, his brilliant but troubled twin sister, Savannah, and the complex and damaging family legacy they share. Moving between the sparkling glamour of New York City and the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country, The Prince of Tides is Pat Conroy’s masterwork.

Amazing Book A Must Read For All.
Revisado: 06-21-24
I’m not a reader, but I love Listening to books. The way the author wrote this is truly wonderful, because when you listen to it the author’s descriptive word turn into a movie in your head. When you finish it leaves you wanting more. Yes, please, a sequel! I think everyone needs to read or listen to this great work. But don’t be surprised when you realize it’s not your typical gangster book; it has hard thought meaning of life to it. Do yourself a favor and find a comfortable spot and enjoy. I want to thank the author for writing this book.

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status...and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader.

In his best-selling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation.

A great personification of an often overlooked historical figure! Great in-depth research woven into a mystery filled story … the Canada (no spoilers) theory was most believable and likely.

As one of the music world’s most iconic artists and the cofounder of the organizations ONE and (RED), Bono’s career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender, it’s Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was fourteen, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism.

From the womb to the tomb… off on the horizon… Bono’s memoir tells me he’s ready for bigger things other than being a mere Rock Star and Poverty Striker — he’s got my vote for:
“The Benevolent Leader of the World!”

A Fantastic Book! Next Please!
Revisado: 09-26-22
I read The Last Jewish Gangster to understand the criminal mind more fully. Michael J. Harding tells the story of his life in the mob. I was so intrigued from the start and can’t wait to hear about his middle years in Book Two.
“Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” the saying goes—this account exposes the psychological side of the mind of a gangster that all of society needs to know and hear about.
Michael’s account was spoken without him glamorizing it; you hear his raw voice tell of the truths of his past, and often times, without apologies.
The Last Jewish Gangster is a great and necessary read for all yearning to know and understand the complex mind of individuals who deceive the law and ultimately—themselves.
Congratulations to David Larson and to Tom Lennon for this excellent work of genius!
