Dan Kennedy Is A Trump Bootlicker

Revisado: 06-14-24

Dan Kennedy’s admiration for Trump, the twice-impeached convicted felon and insurrectionist, is nauseating. And, of course, he downplays President Obama’s economic recovery from the 2008-09 recession, that started long before Obama’s presidency. Kennedy should stick to the theme of the book, rather than kissing Trump’s ass.

Lonely? Read this book!

Revisado: 11-21-23

This is an excellent book on how to meet people, socialize with them, and to expand your friend group. As a lifelong introvert who has worked hard at becoming more social, the concepts in this book can help you “come out of your shell”. I highly recommend it!

What An Amazing Novel!

Revisado: 01-09-23

It is easy to see why the debut novel from Bonnie Garmus is already a bestseller: a great story, a great narration, and a very insightful interview of the author in the Audible version. As the father of two daughters, I enjoy stories that involve strong, smart, and independent women, and Lessons in Chemistry did not fail. This lifelong reader gives this book five big stars!

One of My Favorite Books

Revisado: 12-20-22

I’ve read or listened to The Corps series twice and am starting round three of the series. While these books are “novels”, they have enough research and historical accuracy to be labeled - in my opinion - as “historical fiction”. As someone who served in the Marines, I enjoy the story, the characters, and the narration of the Audible version. Semper Fi!

Well-Written Book Re: Horrible Person

Revisado: 10-13-22

Maggie Haberman, who may have known Trump as well as any writer and was able in interview Trump at least three times, did a great job of writing this biography about the most embarrassing president in American history (I don’t make this comment lightly - I’ve served as a U.S. Marine, a church elder, and as a prosecuting attorney).

America knew he was pandering to evangelicals when he said his favorite book of the Bible was “Two Corinthians”. Trump promised to “drain the swamp”, but instead, filled the swamp with people like Manafort, Stone, Flynn, Boebert, Gaetz, MTG, and Jordan. We can’t forget that nearly one million Americans died of COVID on Trump’s watch. And finally, his so-called “patriots” attempted to overthrow the U.S. Capitol and our democracy. Maggie Haberman covers all these events - and more - in her well-written book.

Great Story!

Revisado: 08-11-22

Having just listened to Steven Pressfield’s “The Lion’s Gate”, I was wanting to listen to another of his books. “Killing Rommel” did not disappoint. It’s a great account of the North Africa campaign, the SAS & the LRDG, and Rommel. I highly recommend it!

And for those readers who do not like historical fiction, this book is much more “historical” than “fiction”. Though Pressfield’s research is - as usual - top-notch, he wasn’t in North Africa, and many of the primary sources & characters have passed away, so the book therefore has to be called “historical fiction” rather than “non-fiction”. Don’t let that stop you from reading this book; it’s excellent!

Brendan Leonard Does It Again

Revisado: 08-06-22

I’ve been a huge fan of Brendan’s books, podcasts, artwork, and blog since watching his video “How to Run 100 Miles” (it’s on YouTube). As usual, Brendan combines inspiration and self-effacing humor to share about his life, mistakes, and the lessons he has learned. He’s an amazing writer.

This is my favorite book in the world. I’ve read it, have watched the movie, and have listened to Michael Beck‘s masterful narration of this book on Audible. It is the best, in all regards!!!

Great Book!

Revisado: 03-10-22

I’ve been fascinated by the Battle of Midway since 4th Grade, and I’m now 57-years old. This was an excellent book that was well-researched and well-narrated. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about this decisive battle.

Excellent Book!

Revisado: 07-24-21

If you liked Christopher McDougall’s “Born to Run” or James Nestor’s “Deep”, you’ll enjoy Chris Dixon’s “Ghost Wave”. I’d recommend all three books, even if you’re not an ultrarunner, freediver, or big-wave surfer. I love how all three books tell stories within the stories, about people, places, and history.
