Have guilt, regret, or bad decisions ever led you to say I'm Never Drinking Again? Are you tired of waking up with a hangover? Do you wonder if you drink too much or too often? Are you spending too much money on booze? Is drinking affecting your health, your relationships, or your career? If 12-step programs feel like a bad fit for you, or if fear of being labeled as an alcoholic is stopping you from examining your drinking habits, this book is for you. Whatever your concerns about your drinking, one size does not fit all.

Great Book to Kick Off Your Self Examination

Everyone is Different
Revisado: 11-12-19
I love Trish Taylor's attitude toward drinking - everyone needs to make their own decision. She was pretty sure she wasn't an alcoholic, yet thought it was time to review her relationship with alcohol. She reviews everything one should consider in their personal review of that decision. She emphasizes one's own decision, not what everyone else is doing. Taylor is not preachy. This was a refreshing listen to a touchy topic. I haven't quite decided what my decision will be: eliminate it or moderate it - after all 4 ounces a day isn't much to moderate. So with the coming new year, if you're looking for a resolution - maybe give this one a listen.

Christmas is approaching, and in Québec it's a time of dazzling snowfalls, bright lights, and gatherings with friends in front of blazing hearths. But shadows are falling on the usually festive season for Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department, his old friend and lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir hasn't spoken to him in months, and hostile forces are lining up against him. When Gamache receives a message from Myrna Landers that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in the village of Three Pines, he welcomes the chance to get away.

Great Marriage of Text and Narration
Revisado: 09-13-13
The Gamache series is one of my favorites. These books are some of the best written I've run across. They are obviously written for the more intelligent reader, but they aren't condescending - there is something here for everyone and Book 9 is no exception. I started out reading this series, but then got tuned into Ralph Cosham's narration and haven't turned back. There's a wonderful marriage here with his reading and Penny's text. I hope this isn't the end of the series. I think I saw a crack of light leaving a chance of more.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

My New Favorite Version of The Great Gatsby!
Revisado: 08-25-13
The Great Gatsby has always been one of my favorite stories and the performance by Jake Gyllenhaal blew me away - this version is my new favorite. I already thought the story was outstanding, but the performance is as well.

One hundred and thirty years ago Eadweard Muybridge invented stop-motion photography, anticipating and making possible motion pictures. He was the first to capture time and play it back for an audience, giving birth to visual media and screen entertainments of all kinds. Yet the artist and inventor Muybridge was also a murderer who killed coolly and meticulously, and his trial is one of the early instances of a media sensation.

A Bit Slow
Revisado: 08-25-13
Would you listen to The Inventor and the Tycoon again? Why?
This is one of the few books I've listened to that I wouldn't repeat. In fact, my iPod turned on in my bag and I missed a bit. I didn't go back. I expected the pace to be equivalent to Muybridge's motion studies and Stanford's horses. Unfortunately, for me, the text plodded. The book was interesting though.
