![How to Be Black | [Baratunde Thurston]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vOaln8vML._SL175_.jpg)
"How to be whether you are Black or White"
What made the experience of listening to How to Be Black the most enjoyable?Baratunde is smart, thought provoking, and yet mixes his keen insight with humor.
What was one of the most memorable moments of How to Be Black?Love the Black Panel and the solutions to vexing problems encountered by Black People working, learning and living in a majority society. Baratunde's story is one that can resonate with all people and helped to form his ideas and his unabashed spirit. Being aware of the reality that we can do anything while frightening to some is soothing to me as a parent of young Black men that are being educated to take on the broader world.
What does Baratunde Thurston bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?Intellect, Wit, and a clear voice that can guide Black people both young and old. Also a great read if you are not Black but want to be relevant in today's society.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?If possible I would have said yes. However, this is a book that I later purchased for my iPad Kindle app after listening to the audio. It is really that good.
Any additional comments?Buy this book so that at least you can act like you know.

![Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power | [Rachel Maddow]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XPaTCeRUL._SL175_.jpg)
"Rachel Maddow's Style and Wit shine through."
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes. Informative and entertaining.
What does Rachel Maddow bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?Rachel Maddow has a direct yet entertaining style that helps bring to light the facts that cause the listener to think more deeply about the impact the military has on our economy and our politics. Perhaps more than we might commonly think.
Any additional comments?Listen to this book. You will not regret your decision no matter what your political position might be. You are sure to learn something.
