Historia
Every day without fail, Travis Devine puts on a cheap suit, grabs his faux-leather briefcase, and boards the 6:20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an entry-level analyst at the city’s most prestigious investment firm. In the mornings, he gazes out the train window at the lavish homes of the uberwealthy, dreaming about joining their ranks. In the evenings, he listens to the fiscal news on his phone, already preparing for the next grueling day in the cutthroat realm of finance. Then one morning Devine’s tedious routine is shattered by an anonymous email: She is dead.

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.

Great read, poignant, personal informative and fun
Revisado: 03-24-24
I am a fan of Kara Swisher and found the book a captivating read. Her personal perspective on the birth of the digital economy and how it has changed the world, gives even more insight into the people that shaped our current culture. I found her relationships with these individuals, so informative and honest. Her frank nature makes the storytelling that much more interesting. She tells a fascinating story, and more importantly her call to action about controls on technological development couldn't be more timely.

Historia
When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But in the aftermath of her death, her adopted son, Camden, wants little to do with the house or the money—and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes.

Historia
When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the gritty '90s Chicago art scene, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in the thriving underground scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to suburban married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting, they encounter the often-baffling pursuits of health and happiness from polyamorous would-be suitors to home-renovation hysteria.

What a fun read about today's human behavior
Revisado: 02-18-24
Nathan Hill has a very perceptive eye and an incredible sense of humor describing the idiosyncrasies super achievers deal with everyday. I recognized myself and everyone I know in his hilarious rants. Ari Fliakos narrates the story so perfectly intrepreting the written word, Broadway theater couldn't do a better job of bringing this story to life in the reader's mind. I laughed out loud throughout the read. I have recommended this read to everyone. Wellness is such a fun articulation of human behavior in 2024, hopefully it cause all of us who do engage with this story to calm down a bit.

Historia
Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes best-selling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

Historia
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

This Book Will Truly Fill You Up
Revisado: 05-10-22
The most enjoyable, intelligent, story-driven read. The kind of book I am grateful to know about, as it fills my days with fabulous characters whom you want in your thoughts. The theme will make all of us more tuned into the idea of Equality for all. It is then when we will have true "balance" in our lives, as the author suggests. Although the book is finished, I am still thinking of Elizabeth Zott every day.

Historia
Imagine a 1980s world of sumptuous hotel rooms, restaurants, New York City penthouses, and the powerful men who move easily between these pinnacles of luxury. They are music producers, rock stars, writers, and restaurateurs. They are household names like Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Sting. And yet, each man has an entire aspect to his life that he doesn’t talk about publicly—his depression, his rocky marriage, his feelings of shame and failure, his private loss of faith. And now: The phone rings. Imagine the woman who has each of these men at her beck and call.

Historia
Marissa Dahl, a shy but successful film editor, travels to a small island off the coast of Delaware to work with the legendary - and legendarily demanding - director Tony Rees on a feature film with a familiar logline: Some girl dies. It's not much to go on, but the specifics don't concern Marissa. Whatever the script is, her job is the same. She'll spend her days in the editing room, doing what she does best: Turning pictures into stories. But she soon discovers that on this set, nothing is as it's supposed to be - or as it seems.

Revisado: 08-12-21
The 'stream of consciousness" speed of the dialogue and narration is an interesting mind to reveal. The crime story seemed a little forced as the glue that binds the narrative.

Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich's plans while at her husband's side, understanding more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star.

An Incredible woman: such an inspiration
Revisado: 10-19-19
This book is a fabulous read. I was so very sad to finish the book, no longer having Hedi intimately in my life. Very inspiring woman for the "me too" era finally getting her due in a gripping description of her amazing life. .

Audra firmly believes that through the sheer force of her personality, she can overcome the most socially challenging interactions.
