Deeply in debt and worried that his children will be forced to struggle all their lives to make ends meet, Joe Tower hears stories of free land in Oregon and a better way of life. The tale of the "promised land" does not move his wife Emma to support their leaving all they have behind until a catastrophe gives them no other choice. Intimate and glorious in its description of everyday events, thoughts and hopes, this story is an excellent representation of what like was really like back in frontier days.

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me.

For the last 20 years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission to find solutions for people with the most urgent needs, wherever they live. Throughout this journey, one thing has become increasingly clear to her: If you want to lift society up, you need to stop keeping women down.

Every facet of American life is being overtaken by big platform monopolists like Facebook, Google, and Bayer (which has merged with the former agricultural giant Monsanto), resulting in a greater concentration of wealth and power than we've seen since the Gilded Age. They are evolving into political entities that often have more influence than the actual government, bending state and federal legislatures to their will and even creating arbitration courts that circumvent the US justice system.

The daughter of one of New York's most influential families, niece of Theodore Roosevelt, and wife of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt witnessed some of the most remarkable decades in modern history, as America transitioned from the Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, and the Depression to World War II and the Cold War. A champion of the downtrodden, Eleanor drew on her experience and used her role as First Lady to help those in need.

Chapter 34 describes US elections still messed up today. The bosses pick our president and the people's choice gets kicked to the curb!

Overwork is the new normal. Rest is something to do when the important things are done - but they are never done. Looking at different forms of rest, from sleep to vacation, Silicon Valley futurist and business consultant Alex Soojung-Kim Pang dispels the myth that the harder we work the better the outcome. He combines rigorous scientific research with a rich array of examples of writers, painters, and thinkers - from Darwin to Stephen King - to challenge our tendency to see work and relaxation as antithetical.

Terrible Book, I want my money back!
Revisado: 03-04-18
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If the author related the topic to everyone, not just famous artists and scientists. The author continually referred to great men and great male artists. I don't believe there was a single mention of any great women and they attitudes on rest and sleep.
How the rich and famous rest is all well and good, but how does that relate to a guy who digs ditches for a living . . . it doesn't. Very elitist attitude and the title should have reflected who the target audience is.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Steven Pinker's newest book.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I didn't care for the narrator, his voice sounded like he was always a bit sarcastic or something.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Nor much.
Any additional comments?
The author simply cobbled together a bunch of facts and anecdotes about famous artists. I didn't find anything original here. Very disappointed.

With the meteoric success of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, Allan Gurganus placed himself among America’s most original and emotionally engaged storytellers. If his first comic novel mapped the late nineteenth-century South, Local Souls brings the twisted hilarity of Flannery O’Connor kicking into our new century.

Another fabulous collection by Allan Gurganus!
Revisado: 05-11-16
Would you consider the audio edition of Local Souls to be better than the print version?
Audio works better for me since I'm always on the go in my vehicles. By the time I get home at night, my tired eyes simply won't cooperate.
What did you like best about this story?
Everything.
Which scene was your favorite?
Can't remember.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It stretched out over a road trip.
Any additional comments?
Allan Gurganus is simply a gorgeous writer and narrator. I wouldn't want to listen to any one else reading his prose. More than likely my favorite author of all time.
