Should have hired a professional to read
- By S. Combe on 07-24-25
Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson
Provocative. Do I agree with every word? Of course not. Do Klein and Thompson address every concern? Nope. But is it provocative correction for a movement that has been roundly rejected? Yes. The most inspiring book I have read in a long time. I left my listen hopeful. Also, two professional podcasters makes the listen quite nice.

A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmhirst
Compelling, beautiful writing with lovely narration. This is a true survival story of the Baileys, a married couple who were stranded together at sea for 118 days in the early 1970’s. The beautiful writing and narrative of this fairly reclusive couple was fascinating, and their survival was amazing. Their life and marriage were unconventional, and they were happy together, despite many struggles and challenges. Narrator for the book also did a beautiful job. Highly recommended!

Who Is Government? by Michael Lewis
Cheers for the unsung heroes. We can’t all be super heroes, but there are many more of them living amongst us than one would guess. It’s wonderful to hear their stories. More please.
