factual, thorough, unnerving

The fact that this is not fiction, but what Lewis writes about has and is still happening today.

Yes. He is not my favorite reader, he can be a bit monotone at times, but he has good enunciation which I consider more important.

It scared the hell out of me.

This book needs to be listened to by anyone who wants to understand the default and Euro crisis in Europe. It goes to show that we seem to never learn from history.

Faulkner was notorious for going on a binge when he finished a novel. This book reads like he started drinking heavily from page one. I have read most of his works and this book (next to the Fable) is one of my least favorites. I decide to listen to it, in hopes that it would fall anew to me on listening ears. Unfortunately that was not the case. Faulkner is the master of the stream of consciousness writing that seems to be popular now, but this story was too disjunctive and difficult to follow. The flashback parts of the story make it difficult to tell where you are in space with the timeline. I would certainly not recommend it for bedtime reading. It takes way too much concentration to read casually.

I have read most of his work, and will continue to revisit his better works. His best book in my opinion is Intruder in the Dust.

Not likely since Faulkner is dead. Anyway, most of his books intertwined the stories of many families in Yoknapatawpha county. To me that is his brilliance. Every time I read one of his works, I can see another story intersecting with it at some point.

I love Audible. I love to read and there are too many books in the world and too little time. Audible has given me the chance to listen to books while I workout or dive my car.
Thanks Audible.
