Historia
The Longest Con tells the fascinating story of the partisan con artists who have corrupted conservative politics in our time, creating a toxic phenomenon that culminated in the election of Donald Trump, a bumptious fraud whose checkered career and tawdry retinue, including his presidential cabinet, have featured almost every variety of scam. But long before he appeared, Trump's path to power was blazed by the motley horde of swindlers and quacks who preceded him.

Good Info - A Tad Heavy-handed
Revisado: 12-10-24
Interesting focus on the amount of profiteering (grift) that pervades the current right wing (republican party). The author recounts that the situation has been developing over decades and reached its zenith with Trump’s ascendency.
While the story seems plausible and is likely accurate, the author’s snarky and heavy-handed style diminishes the books impact. It’s doubtful that Trump supporters will see this as anything other than hyperbolic, left wing exaggerations.
I believe it.

Historia
The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government, and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant’s Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan.

Historia
Part memoir, part history, Burn Book is a necessary chronicle of tech’s most powerful players. This is the inside story we’ve all been waiting for about modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world. When tech titans crowed that they would “move fast and break things,” Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. While covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the facts about this new world order.

Loved this autobiography that recounts her experiences with (my words) billionaire, man children who don’t comprehend the negative aspects of their work while overstating the good.
I’ve spent enough time with silicon valley wannabes to find the stories of the real thing to be quite chilling.

I had never “read” Patchett before the “Dutch House.” After “reading” that I had to try “Tom Lake” based on my experience as well as “Tom Lake’s” great reviews.
I thought it was wonderful and Meryl Streep’s narration an added plus.

Historia
The Man on the Mountaintop tells the story of Holy Man Joe, an ageing and unassuming man who lives in a hermitage on top of a mountain. During the summer months, thousands of hopefuls line the path leading to his door, seeking his wisdom. From bombastic, wealthy nobles intent on cheating their way to the top to drunkards who gradually build the physical and mental strength they need to quit their addiction, The Man on the Mountaintop is a rousing tale full of humour, wit and life lessons.

Mitch & Abby???
Revisado: 01-26-24
It’s not a bad story - not as suspenseful or exciting or poignant as I’ve come to expect from Grisham, but not bad.
My only real complaint is that using Mitch and Abby in the narrative adds little to the story. They are not terribly compelling. The story would have had the same impact with another lawyer and his wife.

Wonderful recounting of the events surrounding January 6th coupled with a tale of personal responsibility, courage and integrity.
I don’t agree with Cheney about much politically and even less with her Dad. However, her strength and respect for our constitution is undeniable and wonderfully expressed.
This is a must read for everyone, especially those who don’t see the peril that could befall this nation in 2024.

Historia
Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century. Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.S. war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.

Thank you Rachel for uncovering history that I and assume many never knew about.
Well written- well performed- with just a hint of Maddow style snark.
