Historia
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Wonderful story, wasn’t a fan of the narration

The narrative style sounded like he was murmuring. Not as easy to listen to as compared to other narrations.

Historia
In AI Superpowers, Kai-fu Lee argues powerfully that because of these unprecedented developments in AI, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power.

Excellent book, narrator’s pronunciation of the many Chinese characters was cringey
Revisado: 07-17-22
This is an excellent book. This was a difficult book to read as a Chinese-American, and it brought about an existential crisis during the first few chapters regarding the inevitable state of the United States’ existence as a superpower and in a sense, its fall as an empire. Took me a few years to complete because it was difficult for me to emotionally digest it. However, the author ends the last several chapters with an optimistic view, and it keeps me hopeful. I hope other readers will also feel the same way.
The only thing that really annoyed me was the narrator’s pronunciation of the many Chinese words throughout the book. With so many Chinese words and this being a book about China, you would hope that the narrator would pronounce the words correctly. It’s… expected. But since he doesn’t, it feels like nails scratching on a chalkboard. Even French terms like “laissez-faire” was pronounced “lahzay fair,” which is incredibly cringy. But anyway… aside from that it was an excellent book. Five stars for content.

I have exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes to get from Boston to New York City or the professional opportunity of a lifetime disappears. My only travel option? The second to last seat on a discount bus. Across from the bathroom. Wearing last night’s clothes (don’t ask). All worth it if I can make it in time.

Historia
In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts, looking, she believes, for beauty - the opposite of the life she' s left behind in New York. She marries a local widower and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow Whitman. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she' d become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy' s daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African Americans passing for white.

Caught a mistake in the performance!
Revisado: 05-23-18
Towards the end of the story, one of the actors accidentally says “Cara”’s name instead of that of the character! It’s trivial, but it confused me for a brief moment
