Roald Dahl’s wickedly funny novels have turned him into the world’s number one storyteller. In this collection five splendiferous stories are brought to life by the author himself.

A fun beach read

Fun story well told by a narrator who captured the accents and voices well (I'm from Franklin County and have also lived in Roanoke, Virginia, where the story unfolds)

In this first volume of his memoirs, then-newly-qualified vet James Herriot arrives in the small Yorkshire village of Darrowby, and he has no idea what to expect. How will he get on with his new boss? The local farmers? And what will the animals think? This program is filled with hilarious and touching tales of the unpredictable Siegfried Farnon, his charming student brother Tristan, and Herriot's first encounters with a beautiful girl named Helen.

relaxing and fun stories
Revisado: 03-18-18
I enjoyed being able to wade in and out of essentially a series of short stories. The idyllic retelling and self deprecating humor of the author made it extra fun.

Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization, they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated.

History with an inspired thread of narrative
Revisado: 02-22-18
I really enjoyed this book,finishing it in just 3 days. The author tied together ancient literature and history with a thread of how knowledge was preserved during the breakup of the Roman Empire. Buried in the middle is the story of Saint Patrick. After this book, I'll never see St Patrick's day the same way again.

Like the authors' classic book The Elements of Journalism, Blur is a unique and understandable discourse on how information culture is changing. Yes, old authorities are being dismantled and new ones created, and the way we obtain knowledge has changed. But seeking true and reliable information remains the most important purpose of journalism - and the object for those who consume it.

This important book helps answer an important question: how to read the news? It helps make sense of things in a time when news consumers have a great deal of responsibility to evaluating reliability of stories and also the relative importance of stories. It's down to earth and filed with good examples.

In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Rebecca Solnit is the author of fourteen books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling.

Very Relatable
Revisado: 01-07-18
We've all been there. This funny but poignant retelling was insightful and cathartic for me, a thirty something, who has frequently had the subjects of my post graduate studies explained to me by men who studied other things, if at all. The author gets at the why of it, how it might be made better, and how marginalizing people hurts us all.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
