Law school was never Anna Dorn's dream. But it's not the worst thing that can happen to a person; as Dorn says, law school was pretty "cushy" and mostly entailed wearing leggings every day to her classes at Berkeley and playing beer pong with her friends at night. After graduation, however, Dorn realized that there was nothing sexy about being a lawyer. Between the unflattering suits, sucking up to old men, and spending her days sequestered in a soul-sucking cubicle, Dorn quickly learned that being a lawyer wasn't everything Hollywood made it out to be.

Not about Law
Revisado: 03-11-25
This book was miscategorized. Has nothing to do with stated subject. I was really trying to grasp what is this book: Bad Lawyer By: Anna Dorn about. I could not. It's about nothing. It's a logorrheic rant by a frustrated inept teenager for a likeminded audience.

Becoming Los Angeles, a new collection by the author of the acclaimed memoir Holy Land, blends history, memory, and critical analysis to illuminate how Angelenos have seen themselves and their city. Waldie’s particular concern is commonplace Los Angeles, whose rhythms of daily life are set against the gaudy backdrop of historical myth and Hollywood illusion. It’s through sacred ordinariness that Waldie experiences the city’s seasons.

Full of trivial observations of local flora and fauna.
A book of disconnected banal observations written in

In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation.

Book of Conclusions
Revisado: 04-12-20
When you, if you manage to do so, finish this book, you will know: ...same as before.
Now I must admit I stopped way off the end. I was feeling like going through garbage can looking for a crust of bread...
I found none, and I felt like I was already smelling so bad, for plodding through, so I decided to stop.
This book is full of opinions, but no sight of any fact whatsoever, on which they were supposedly based on. Useless.
Ops, you might learn how to incorporate succinct 4 letter profanities, (all of them...), to bolster the otherwise empty punchline.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 201
On a bitterly cold afternoon in December 1986, a Michigan State trooper found the frozen body of Jerry Tobias in the bed of his pickup truck. The 31-year-old oil field worker and small-time drug dealer was clad only in jeans, a checkered shirt, and cowboy boots. Inside the cab of the truck was a fresh package of expensive steaks from a local butcher shop, the first lead in a case that would be quickly lost in a thicket of bungled forensics, shady prosecution, and a psychopathic star witness out for revenge.

Briliant conclusion. Brutally honest. Purges soul from nihilism. Deep, deep insight. Priceless tale of the best law system known to a man, warts and all included.

Some may say Doc was just an old man on a long walk, but it was a walk that forever changed his life. He lived experiences you may not believe, and had conversations you may not be ready for. Only you can open that door, when you're ready. If you find something in this audiobook that changes your life, you are not alone. Doc decides to honor his great-grandmother's memory by re-creating her pioneering handcart journey of 1856.

Depression quencher
Revisado: 12-28-14
Would you consider the audio edition of Faith Greater than Pain to be better than the print version?
It's more practical, as it can be utilised in a many life situations where reading is not possible, (while driving, walking etc...)
What other book might you compare Faith Greater than Pain to and why?
Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, it's the study that proves that opposites touch...especially here.
However mysterious it's nevertheless true that Atlas shrugged is as much a foundation of America as the Faith or the Bill of Rights...
What about Lynn "Doc" Cleland’s performance did you like?
The meaning comes out through his reading.
So often technically impeccable reading has the cardinal fault in this: the reader has no comprehension of ideas he is vocalising perfectly.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It's hard to improve Swiss watch. Let's go back to American forgotten basics...
Any additional comments?
It's an inspirational sermon, but it will appear true to the bone, even to those who made sure never to attend one. Some well worn truth that only self disciplined moral man will be able to pull the greatest society on earth into the new century retaining its liberty & justice & friendliness, are warmly validated.
I would however remain reserved to any Neo-Catholic & Neo-Platonic organisational structure as LDS, and in that respect one does well to remember that, prevailingly, now and then, America was made with more horizontally structured Fundamental Evangelical and Independent Baptist congregations (direct democracy & juries of all kinds, right?..).
Humble contribution to the Truth, from great soul, great enough to stay humble after all achieved.
