Historia
For over a decade, Charlamagne Tha God has cohosted iHeartRadio’s nationally syndicated morning radio show The Breakfast Club and has proven his power as a culture mover and thought leader, by being his completely authentic self on-air. From his famous “You ain't black” moment with President Biden, to heartfelt chats with cultural icons like Sean “Jay-Z” Carter and Judy Blume, to viral classics with Kamala Harris and Soulja Boy, his reach and impact on American culture continues to grow. In Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks, Charlamagne takes full command of his new perch.

Damn! He is a god!
Revisado: 06-15-24
Charlemagne speaks to all of us without bias of race or gender or belief. It has been a long time since I have heard and listened to such a reasonable inclusive voice. Charlemagne does not care what your hobbies are, he wants you to be a reasonable human being. He encourages you to listen to other people and share with others. My being an old white man, found him full of wisdom and rational thoughts. Not everyone will welcome his perspective, but in my opinion, he is wise beyond his years, plain spoken, and YOU need to listen.

Historia
A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

I think I am missing something here.
Revisado: 08-30-23
Sorry, but I am missing something here...I am at a loss as to why this is "One of the 50 greatest novels". It bored me to tears. It is a prime example of white privilege. It even used the "N" word (not unusual when the book was written but distasteful all the same). I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen, and it NEVER does. Wholly Crap!

Historia
AI will be the defining development of the 21st century. Within two decades, aspects of daily human life will be unrecognizable. AI will generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionize medicine and education through human-machine symbiosis, and create brand-new forms of communication and entertainment. In liberating us from routine work, however, AI will also challenge the organizing principles of our economic and social order.

Vague and an uncomfortable format
Revisado: 03-26-22
I struggled to finish the book. The format is a story followed by "analysis". The analysis is a little spotty and leaves a.lot of questions, in my mind at least, unanswered. This is not a text on AI.

I had to bail on this book. The entire second half is how to talk to a dead woman and set up alters and rituals to her. BS.

Historia
The Reckoning will examine America’s national trauma, rooted in our history but dramatically exacerbated by the impact of current events and the Trump administration’s corrupt and immoral policies. Our failure to acknowledge this trauma, let alone root it out, has allowed it to metastasize. Whether it manifests itself in rising levels of rage and hatred, or hopelessness and apathy, the stress of living in a country we no longer recognize has affected all of us. America is suffering from PTSD - a new leader alone cannot fix us.

The dude ain't right y'all. Just sayin' I enjoyed this collection. but Neil may not be seeing the world from the correct side of the insane asylum walls...depending, of course, on which side of the insane asylum walls he is currently on.

Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Wheaton!
Revisado: 05-14-20
No matter what you think about the way Wil treats Sheldon, on and off, in TBBT. No matter what you think about the story that John Scalzi has penned. Wil Wheaton does an amazing job of narrating this novel and the other two books in the Interdependency series. Seriously he and the production staff deserve an Audie for this performance of all the characters and nuances of conversation. I laughed out loud many times at the turn of phrase that Wil puts on this series. I will have to investigate other books by Mr. Wheaton and so should you.

Historia
"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

A great story, narrated well. One hopes that the prison system has moved on since this was written in the 60s. I remember seeing prisoners doing exactly this sort of work as a child in the deep south. This is one story behind one of those people.

Historia
Legion Dark Ops calls upon Chhun, Wraith, and the survivors of Victory Company to form an elite Kill Team of legionnaires in the aftermath of the Battle of Kublar. Their mission is clear: find and eliminate those responsible for the Kublar disaster. Standing between them and their objective are a maze of corrupt Republic officials, a spy on the verge of losing himself in deep cover, and the Zhee - a murderous species that will stop at nothing. But the biggest threat of all might be the truth they seek to uncover - a truth that could ignite a revolution. And engulf the galaxy in flames.

More battlefield porn
Revisado: 01-05-20
Tangential and confusing flashbacks, theorizing, and rationalized battlefield porn. You just can't kill enough aliens. Took me forever to get through this. I literally had to force myself to listen to the droning violence. I truly hope that humanity is able to deal with an alien species in some other way than to simply slaughter them in front of their babies. What makes us think that a space faring species mus be mindlessly violent? Why aren't we a rational species in this future tale? Sheesh.
