Imagine a 1980s world of sumptuous hotel rooms, restaurants, New York City penthouses, and the powerful men who move easily between these pinnacles of luxury. They are music producers, rock stars, writers, and restaurateurs. They are household names like Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Sting. And yet, each man has an entire aspect to his life that he doesn’t talk about publicly—his depression, his rocky marriage, his feelings of shame and failure, his private loss of faith. And now: The phone rings. Imagine the woman who has each of these men at her beck and call.

Well performed, but predictable
Revisado: 05-21-22
There was an opportunity here to take an amazing true story, and examine how the loneliness of these men, despite their public appearances, enabled this woman to take advantage of them and violate their privacy. Instead, we get another boring, "oh aren't men so shallow and only concerned by looks" story that paints the person doing the taking advantage as the victim, obviously and clumsily broadcast from the beginning.

Study through the entire Bible, Genesis through Revelation, in one year! This "flagship" Logos course grew out of Dr. Creasy's year-long UCLA program, "The English Bible as Literature." One of the most highly rated courses on campus, "The English Bible as Literature" placed Dr. Creasy among the top 2% of UCLA teaching faculty for over 20 years!

Worth all the time it takes and more

Dr. Creasy is exactly the kind of professor you would want in college. In many ways, I would compare him to John McWhorter. Both know their topic perfectly, and both make the learning fun. Dr. Creasy is funny while being pedagogical. I'll probably be listening to this again.

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Great performance; uneven story
Revisado: 01-02-17
Will Wheaton’s performance is great. He strikes just the right tones and is a joy to listen to.
As for the story, it's a bit uneven. I nearly stopped a couple chapters in because it felt too much like a recitation of pop culture lists from the eighties. I was tired of the exposition and wanted the story to begin. And, throughout the story, there were too many instances of Deus ex machina for my taste. However, at the same time, I was eager to hear what happened next.
All in all, I'm hesitant to recommend the book, but if you already have it, I think you'll walk away not disappointed.

The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone - and serendipity, sheer curiosity, and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey has landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after just a few days on the job, Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything....

Amazing narration; fantastic story
Revisado: 07-10-16
The story is engaging and fun throughout. Even more impressive is the production. This is what audiobooks should be—great voices, pacing, and leveraging of audio to enrich the story.

Once solely the province of ivory-tower professors and college classrooms, contemporary philosophy was finally emancipated from its academic closet in 2010, when "The Stone" was launched in The New York Times. First appearing as an online series, the column quickly attracted millions of readers through its accessible examination of universal topics like the nature of science, consciousness, and morality while also probing more contemporary issues such as the morality of drones, gun control, and the gender divide.

Awful
Revisado: 04-29-16
I was excited to listen to this, but couldn't bring myself to finish the intro. I was expecting to learn more about philosophy and what I got instead was a polemical screed. Preaching to the choir might be fun for the author, but talking down to your audience doesn't make for good listening.
