If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

Can’t Do It Justice
Revisado: 04-27-21
I love David Sedaris so much I simply can’t be objective. This book kept me laughing from start to finish. His insight and humor are so unique yet so relatable. He sees humankind and circumstances in such a straightforward, honest, and totally hilarious way. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a sense of humor.

The good and bad
Revisado: 03-13-21
This book was well written and easy to follow the facts. It is a VERY interesting story that was well told. Now for my criticism. I cannot begin to tell you how annoying the “parts” within every chapter were. I listened to the audiobook. Every chapter for some unknowable reason were divided into “parts”. So every couple of pages there was a new “part” within the chapter. Listening to that felt like I was being shocked with a cattle prod every time the narrator said “part one or two or three”. Holy Moly!! Why why do chapters have to have parts? Unfathomable and unnecessary! I love this author’s books but I sure hope I don’t run into another one with this craziness. Please!

After selling her first novel - a dream she'd worked long and hard for - Stephanie Danler knew she should be happy. Instead, she found herself driven to face the difficult past she'd left behind a decade ago: a mother disabled by years of alcoholism, further handicapped by a tragic brain aneurysm; a father who abandoned the family when she was three, now a meth addict in and out of recovery.

Not for me
Revisado: 09-27-20
I can see why the author needed to write this book but I cannot see why anyone needs to read it. It was page after tortuous page of people whose drug and alcohol use and bad behavior destroyed their lives and those close to them. I confess I am not sympathetic to the character deficiencies of people who abuse themselves with substances so I may not be the best reviewer of this book. If I had endured one more story of the author vomiting I might have done so myself. I didn’t see redemption or salvation, only dismal survival including my own for finishing the book. I felt trapped in a gray fog with people I wanted to get away from. I hate casting such negativity on the author’s story. But I felt compelled to save others with similar opinions of substance abuse self-destructiveness from spending time and money with this book. “Waste” would have been a better title.

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.

Truth to power
Revisado: 09-17-20
I truly believe Michael Cohen is on a journey of redemption and fully accepts responsibility for the things he did. He paints a detailed, first-hand picture of Donald Trump and the terrible ways he has harmed people close to him as well as the entire American citizenship. Everyone who cares about this country should read this book.

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

You'll love it!
Revisado: 10-21-17
I love Al because he is sooo funny. What I didn't know and learned is how very intelligent he is and how seriously dedicated he is to being a good senator. It isn't about power and prestige for him. It's about serving the people of his state and working tirelessly to make their lives better. Makes this Texan want to move to Minnesota!
