Drive is the story of a man who works as a stunt driver by day and a getaway driver by night. He drives, that's all - until he's double-crossed.

Great but not as good as the movie
Revisado: 08-28-21
I am usually a huge fan of books over movies, and this book offers a lot the movie doesn't, great to get some back story on driver. That being said I think the movie had the more compelling story while the characters are all true to the book!

In AD 60, Boudica, war leader of the Eceni, led her people in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of Rome. It was the culmination of nearly 20 years of resistance against an occupying force that sought to crush a vibrant, complex civilisation and replace it with the laws, taxes and slavery of the Roman Empire.

Great fan fic!
Revisado: 07-14-21
Think if game of thrones was a gay slappin, historical fan fic with epic poetry and would make you sound smart, you have the essence of the story. A slow build but a great read overall and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Excellent scifi
Revisado: 07-07-21
Possibly one of the best modern Scifi novels written! The absolute novelty of the concepts meeting the logical reality of the universe is truly refreshing and genuinely enjoyable. Somehow emotional, funny, head scratching and scientifically plausible is a fine quadracord to walk and Andy weir struts his stuff!

Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context. This volume is a doorway into a captivating world.

Fantastic!
Revisado: 06-18-21
A fantastic collection of the Greek myths that feels like it upholds the oral traditions that they came from. Brings humor and emotions to the dry classical stories so often forced on people in their youth.

A natural storyteller and raconteur in his own right - just listen to Paddle Your Own Canoe and Gumption - actor, comedian, carpenter, and all-around manly man Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) brings his distinctive baritone and a fine-tuned comic versatility to Twain's writing. In a knockout performance, he doesn't so much as read Twain's words as he does rejoice in them, delighting in the hijinks of Tom - whom he lovingly refers to as a "great scam artist" and "true American hero".

Mark Twain, beloved American writer, performer, and humorist, was a self-proclaimed glutton. With the help of a chef and some friends, Nick Offerman presents the story of Twain’s life through the lens of eight of Mark Twain’s favorite foods.

I knew very little about the life of Mark twain or what made him exceptional, and this performance has cast him in a whole new light that banished the shadows of middle school book reports.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Interesting structure
Revisado: 01-03-20
This book gives a summary explanation of most ancient events and civilizations but what is truly interesting is that it provides them with chronological context. For example, while the battle of 300 Spartans is happening, battles and by nasties are waging in China and Romulus is starting the village that will be Rome. Adds a fresh perspective to a lot of historical events and is an interesting comparison of cultural development.

The Clockwork Universe is the story of a band of men who lived in a world of dirt and disease but pictured a universe that ran like a perfect machine. A meld of history and science, this book is a group portrait of some of the greatest minds who ever lived as they wrestled with natures most sweeping mysteries. The answers they uncovered still hold the key to how we understand the world.

Not much royal society
Revisado: 09-05-19
Very fascinating and important history, but I was a little disappointed that the overall focus was about Newton and the creation of modern science, rather than the royal society. Still a great read and listen with excellent fun facts and historical narrative, just was hoping for a little more RS than IN

It's 1942 and the Nazis are racing to be the first to build a weapon unlike any known before. They have the physicists, they have the uranium, and now all their plans depend on amassing a single ingredient: heavy water, which is produced in Norway's Vemork, the lone plant in all the world that makes this rare substance. Under threat of death, Vemork's engineers push production into overdrive. For the Allies, the plant must be destroyed.

This story almost seems fictional because of the heroin circumstances and incredible achievements. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an interesting war story.
