Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all.

I was in my early twenties when I first read this book. The paperback still sits proudly on my shelf. I loved it then. I thought about it many times through my life. Now I am in my 70s and I've listened to it again. The love for the book has not died. Read and enjoy throughout your life.The narration is wonderful too.

Originally published in six volumes, which sold more than one million copies, Carl Sandburg’s Abraham Lincoln was praised as the most noteworthy historical biography of Sandburg’s generation. He later distilled this monumental work into one volume that critics and readers alike consider his greatest work of nonfiction, as well as the most distinguished, authoritative biography of Lincoln ever published.
Growing up in an Illinois prairie town, Sandburg listened to stories of old-timers who had known Lincoln. By the time this single-volume edition was competed, he had spent a lifetime studying, researching, and writing about our 16th president.

A Journey Worth Taking
Revisado: 06-05-21
I started this book in Ventura California and took a drive at a slow pace across the United States to St Petersburg Florida enjoying every word of this book.. I will not talk about its high or low points or the way it was read as many other have already done that. I can only suggest that if you want to take two Journeys at one time take a trip across the United States and journey across Abraham's Lincoln's Life by listening to this book.

Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Emmy winner Emma Thompson lends her immense talent and experienced voice to Henry James' Gothic ghost tale, The Turn of the Screw. When a governess is hired to care for two children at a British country estate, she begins to sense an otherworldly presence around the grounds. Are they really ghosts she's seeing? Or is something far more sinister at work?

Do Not Listen While Driving but Entertained Anyway
Revisado: 12-05-16
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The Book is hard to follow unless you are relaxing beside a fire with your eyes closed. I found it rather wordy and confusing as I listened to it while driving on a long trip. Thank goodness for the 30 second rewind.
Would you be willing to try another book from Henry James? Why or why not?
Probably not but he (this book seems like a lady wrote it) is a highly rated author and I wanted to experience one of his works. The book had too many words for me for a relatively simple plot.
Which character – as performed by Emma Thompson and Richard Armitage - introduction – was your favorite?
Of course the governess..Ms Thompson brought her to life.
Do you think The Turn of the Screw [Soundtrack Edition] needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Unless someone sees the ghost of Henry James and can ask him to write a sequel, I think not.
Any additional comments?
Emma Thompson was wonderful and help me emotionally experience the tale. I am glad Richard Amitage only read the beginning as he read it too fast.The sound track did not add anything of consequence to the listening. Of course most of it was lost with road noise.
