About this listen
Henry Franken has a problem with money-he has too much of it. When his unprincipled father dies, thirty-three-year-old Henry inherits a massive estate, including an Upper East Side residential building. He must confront the reality of his new financial status, directly conflicting with his well-honed identity as a "progressive liberal." When he shows up to collect the keys to his father's building, he notices a sign: "Doorman Wanted."
Seeing a chance to stave off the complexities of his inheritance, Henry applies for the position under a pseudonym . . . and gets it. Now, no one in the building knows that Doorman "Franklin Hanratty" is the building's new mysterious owner.
Through interactions with residents and the homeless outside his door, Henry develops from an idealistic young person avoiding the demands of his fortune, into a man who accepts the opportunity to direct that wealth toward a broader good.

Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern

Story
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Story
Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.

Great story!
What a warm and charming book. The concept was just perfect and the stories of the people living and working in and around the building were sharp but loving. The author narrates it perfectly.

Pure Smart Fun with Characters to Adore!
Never have I had this much fun having a cold! I crawled into bed and downloaded author Glenn Miller 's new novel DOORMAN WANTED. I listened to this smart, witty, wry self discovery tale, full of heart, ode to NYC, nod to PJ Woodhouse, a poke at the swanky upper crust with a group of engaging characters that came alive with terrific narration that had me happily in bed for a couple days, listening for hours, laughing out loud. Love the humanity and smarts of Central Park artists, the pretension of the "in the know" art world, the observant and smart senior residents. The personalities came through the narrator's ( the author!)
voice so pitch perfect, the rich cast is ready for film or stage!

Fun quirky story.
Guaranteed to entertain! What fun when an inherited millions causes Henry to take the job of a doorman in his own high rise condo building in New York City. He spends many fun months as the doorman in the lives of the condo owners and all those in and around his building. Befriending several homeless people in the process. His compassion for them and trying to help all when keeping his millions a secret. Great story and kudos to the author Glenn R. Miller on his very entertaining performance of the story. Not many self narrated books are as well read. Loved it!

Charmed by this Doorman
Should I ever have the need to find an apartment in NYC, L'Hermitage is my top choice. Raptured by the author's reading of the book, the building's lobby came to life with quirky, yet endearing, residents. I felt like I had poured a cup of coffee from the lobby's urn, put my feet up and watched the comings and goings. I would love to be greeted by Franklin the Doorman and found myself laughing out loud as the picture of his duties, his true connection to the residents and the inner workings of the building unfolded. Miller nails the Upper East Side, the park, the NYC catering pecking order and more. The premise is new and timely. The writing is filled with wit, honesty and the perfect amount of awkwardness of the main character to make him endearing. I can't wait for the sequel to find out what happens to the residents and the "locals" in this bustling Upper East Side community.

Interesting
I enjoyed listening to this unique and original book. It was entertaining with wonderful characters. The author narrated his own book well. I think the book was too lengthy.
