Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

The galaxy is doomed. Monkeys may be clever and too stubborn to give up, but Skippy The Idiot Who Got Played knows the harsh truth: this is a fight he can’t win. The odds are not only stacked against him, he was designed not to win this fight. Maybe he can salvage some faint memory of the civilizations that inhabit the galaxy, but those beings are doomed. Doomed. Including the Merry Band of Pirates.

Three Fantastic Lecturers, + one iffy one.

the BEST compilation EVER
Revisado: 08-04-16
If you could sum up Great Mythologies of the World in three words, what would they be?
diverse, amazing, high-quality
Who was your favorite character and why?
i couldnt pick one but I think Giglamesh is so much bigger than I thought
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
the narrators where GREAT but... there is a light sound like a metallic vibration on the background on a very large portion of the chapters that drove me insane because in my car it was impossible not to hear it, on the headphones if I put the right amount of volume it did helped.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was fascinated 100% of the time, love mythology
Any additional comments?
i think the technical team should revised the files, it was a boomer

“We were all heading for each other on a collision course, no matter what. Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story". At first, Jude and her twin brother are NoahandJude; inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them. Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways...but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor.

Lovely writing about an artist

Loved the writing and the theme, how it describes an artist and twins. Too obvious from the middle to the end but kept me in anyway!

One hundred years before Ender's Game, the aliens arrived on Earth with fire and death. Earth Afire by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston is the story of the First Formic War. Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely. Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat. They didn't believe that until space stations and ships and colonies went up in sudden flame. And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police could move fast enough to meet the threat.

alaxy. Humanity was slowly making their way out from Earth to the planets and asteroids of the Solar System, exploring and mining and founding colonies. The mining ship El Cavador is far out from Earth, in the deeps of the Kuiper Belt, beyond Pluto. Other mining ships, and the families that live on them, are few and far between this far out. So when El Cavador's telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system, it's hard to know what to make of it. It's massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light.

From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. We’re told that learning is all self-discipline, that we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual if we want to ace that test, memorize that presentation, or nail that piano recital. But what if almost everything we were told about learning is wrong?

really well documented and powerful book!
Revisado: 01-16-15
Would you listen to How We Learn again? Why?
No, because it's informative, I did take notes though! great studying tips!
What other book might you compare How We Learn to and why?
There a lot of books talking about how the brain works... this one FOCUS on studying and remembering and quotes/explains a lot of past experiments
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, although it got kind of tedious for some moments
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
nop, but it did surprise me some points!
Any additional comments?

For readers or listeners of Nora Ephron, Tina Fey, and David Sedaris, this hilarious, poignant, and extremely frank collection of personal essays confirms Lena Dunham - the acclaimed creator, producer, and star of HBO's Girls - as one of the brightest and most original writers working today.
