For almost three decades, Fox News has not only made political careers (see: President Donald J. Trump) but also fundamentally altered the political landscape of the United States. It is a truism: as Fox goes, so goes the nation—into further divisiveness and awash in fake news, a gleefully polarizing company. But just as Fox has pushed America apart, now it too is coming apart. As is the family dynasty behind it.

Phenomenal
Revisado: 10-12-23
Wolff is so eloquent, he synthesizes a hundred points of view into images so vivid, they seem to be projected like a movie in your brain. It’s the closest thing to actually being a fly on the wall inside the steaming hell pit that is FOX.

The story begins in May 1536: Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.

Mantel smashes it again. I now want to go back to the beginning of the trilogy all over again.
Ben Miles is masterful as narrator. Thank you all for this recording!

It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music", a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex - and much more personal.

Otherwise brilliantly narrated, they killed does make one mistake of using a simpering voice for all his female characters. It marrs an otherwise excellent performance. This time his french was good.

There have been few masters of the short story as popular as W. S. Maugham. His dry wit, worldweary loftiness, pungent cynicism, and penetrating powers of observation have contributed to the creation of some of the greatest short stories ever written.

Bizarre mispronunciations...
Revisado: 04-19-17
If you could sum up The Complete Short Stories, Volume One in three words, what would they be?
Classic Maugham stories often do a slow burn but worth going for the ride.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I especially love the stories set in colonial Malaya.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I would say this narrator is great but for some irksome mispronounciations. Every time he says ' ship's passage', he pronounces it pah-sage or 'chortle' becomes 'Kortle'. There are a hundred bizarro alternative readings of not-very-elevated english words. Bloody weird and a bit cringey. I think he's an American doing an excellent Brit accent (wonky Scots), but has not researched unfamiliar words. Shame, coz it's an epic commitment to read the full omnibus.

From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new collection of essays taking his listeners on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences.

Evelyn Waugh's 1934 novel is a bitingly funny vision of aristocratic decadence in England between the wars. It tells the story of Tony Last, who, to the irritation of his wife, is inordinately obsessed with his Victorian Gothic country house and life. When Lady Brenda Last embarks on an affair with the worthless John Beaver out of boredom with her husband, she sets in motion a sequence of tragicomic disasters that reveal Waugh at his most scathing.

This book was such a surprise. I had read Waugh as a teenager but missed this one. It's very funny, at times shockingly anachronistic but wry and tragi-comic. Where it ends is a million miles from where it starts. Begin the journey!

It was the trial that stunned America, the verdict that shocked us all. On July 5, 2011, nearly three years after her initial arrest, Casey Anthony walked away, virtually scot-free, from one of the most sensational murder trials of all time. She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

Book end with the Defence story
Revisado: 03-13-15
Listened to Jose Baez' book too. Trial interesting but the story is really this battle of egos. Generously displaying their flaws. This one better written but not more entertaining. At least this one is in the writer's own voice (give or take a little Pulitzer).

A 999 line poem in heroic couplets, divided into 4 cantos, was composed - according to Nabokov's fiction - by John Francis Shade, an obsessively methodical man, during the last 20 days of his life.

ROBERT BLUMENFELD PLAYS KINBOTE!!!!
Revisado: 12-19-13
Marc Vietor Reads The poem as John Shade.
But Blumenfeld, who has an American accent in real life, is the brilliant/mad King!!!
We all assumed Marc Vietor was the chap with the accent. Blumenfeld is one of the most gifted narrators out there along with Jeremy Irons and Bronson Pinchot. But with this material, he dominates!

Saki was the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro (December 18, 1870 - November 13, 1916), a British writer, whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirized Edwardian society and culture. He is considered a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. His tales feature delicately drawn characters and finely judged narratives. This audiobook collects together three more of his finest short stories.

Can't hear the brilliance for the godawful voice
Revisado: 04-22-13
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who despise nuance and wit
Would you recommend Another Trio of Saki to your friends? Why or why not?
Some devices won't allow you to hear the audio sample. Beware! Don't buy it if you can't hear the narration first. Even very popular readers might not be to your taste. A grating voice ruins a book.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joy Gelardi?
A foppish Englishman. An actor with a fine ear.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Another Trio of Saki?
The writing is fine. The narration leaves much to be desired.
