Makes me want to read every William Faulkner book, a promise I made myself in college, but got too busy to fulfill.

Historia
Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
It is an example of absurdity, which is not enough of a redeeming quality to matter.

Every college should add this book to the required English 101 class syllabus, in my opinion.

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.

almost five stars
Revisado: 04-11-21
The single thing that kept me form giving this book five stars for ftory was the idea that the queen could be impregnated in the pulpa stage, pre-birth.
In the real world, the queen bee mates once in her life, returns to the hive, where perhaps other queens have been born. If not, she has an easy life. if other queens (sisters)return to that hive, then they must fight.
it becomes survival of the fittest.

When small-town Nebraska sheriff Hixon Drake meets Greta Dare, the connection couldn't be stronger, but the timing couldn't be worse. Dealing with the fallout of a divorce he never wanted and setting up a new home for his kids, Hix becomes that guy, that one he never wanted to be, and puts a stop to things before they can even start. Protecting his kids and himself is his only priority. Greta, on the other hand, has found the place for her and the brother she adores that's perfect for them - a sleepy little town in Nebraska.

Is this author a producer of Triple X films?
The story undoubtedly was meant to be a love story, however the graphic details of the sex acts detracted from that purpose. If the protagonists were the kind, gentle and understanding people the author wanted to portray, she should have cleaned up their language and her descriptions of the acts of love making.

From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.

Enlightening and insightful.

Having lived through the last seventy years as a privileged Anglo male, I was aware of many of the events in this book, had read several of the authors quoted but never really understood the why as described herein.
Though I think the author was often repetitive, I would not hesitate recommending the book. if I were a high school or college English or History teacher I would assign it to be read and reviewed.

Historia
Dale Maharidge’s father, like many World War II veterans, never talked about “the good war”. There was just one clue to his dad’s experience as a US Marine - a portrait with a close friend that hung permanently in their home. In The Dead Drink First, Dale, now a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, recounts his 18-year quest to find and repatriate the missing remains of his dad’s buddy, Herman Walter Mulligan, 73 years after he was killed in action.

My dad; too!
Revisado: 07-29-19
My dad didn't speak much about the war. what little he did say was critical of the way in which it was fought.
"The hero's died and the fortunate returned," was about all I can remember him saying.
Dad would scream at the television news. "Damned SOB's are going to get us in another war," he shouted when he heard that President Kennedy had sent troops to Vietnam!"
He hated the Air Corps for killing so many of our soldiers and the Marines for getting credit for claiming the beach where so many of his Army buddies died. "They made a nice safe newsreel of the Marines saving the day."
He prayed there would never be another war. I got in trouble for drawing scenes of airplanes bombing like I'd seen in the movies. "there is no glory in war!"

I did not want to put this book down.
Our cultural practice is to blame others for our problems. It was refreshing to have our hero, Art Keller to stand up and speak honestly, consequences be damned.
