Historia
A mysterious virus has infiltrated the good people of Lake Wobegon, transmitted via unpasteurized cheese made by a Norwegian bachelor farmer, the effect of which is episodic loss of social inhibition. Mayor Alice, Father Wilmer, Pastor Liz, the Bunsens and Krebsbachs, formerly taciturn elders, burst into political rants, inappropriate confessions, and rhapsodic proclamations, while their teenagers watch in amazement. Meanwhile, a wealthy outsider is buying up farmland for a Keep America Truckin' motorway and amusement park.

Really funny book
Revisado: 02-15-23
This book is hysterically funny. Of course if you aren’t if Nordic extraction and/or Lutheran you may not get a lot of the jokes

Historia
Rob had a pretty rough childhood: He was given up for adoption as an infant, brought into a family of highly decorated military men, suffered the loss of his mother to cancer, rebelled, and landed himself in military school. When he finally returns home, he meets Cindy, who quickly becomes his best friend. After graduation the two go off to college at opposite ends of Texas, and their paths diverge.

Special Forces member's autobiography
Revisado: 04-14-16
Where does Love Me When I'm Gone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Robert Lewis is very easy to listen to. I've listened to another of his books ("The Pact"), which was also a super listen.
Any additional comments?
This book would make a really good movie. Rather than being merely a war story told by a special forces warrior, it is a story of the human drama of a young man who is a warrior in the true sense of the word far away from the love of his life. The story told is gripping and touching at the same time. Mr. Lewis doesn't pull any punches either in his description of the war in Afghanistan as he experienced it - or in the challenges he faced when he returned home. I would definitely recommend this book - particularly to people who have experienced war themselves or have loved ones who have.

Historia
Few American institutions have inflicted greater suffering on ordinary people than the Supreme Court of the United States. Since its inception the justices of the Supreme Court have shaped a nation where children toiled in coal mines, where Americans could be forced into camps because of their race, and where a woman could be sterilized against her will by state law.

More of a political history
Revisado: 05-05-15
What did you like best about Injustices? What did you like least?
Most of the book concerns a telling of the author's view of the historical background of a select few Supreme Court cases with comments regarding the author's opinion of the justices involved. Toward the end of the book, however, the author descends into a political speech about the current justices stances vis a vis the ACA that was not a coherent extension to the rest of the book.
