It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Wow. I've read the book before, but this brings it completely to life which runs chills up and down my spine. It makes you wonder, though. How close are we to this actually being real?

The American supermarket is an everyday miracle. But what does it take to run one? What are the inner workings of product delivery and distribution? Who sets the price? And who suffers for the convenience and efficiency we’ve come to expect? In this rollicking exposé, author Benjamin Lorr pulls back the curtain on this highly secretive industry.

I was kind of curious about this title in that I was wondering about the operations of grocery stores. Yet this went way deaper. The trucking industry, product placement, the slave labor, the whole book made me think about where my food comes from. I'l never look at the grocery industry the same again. This was very well done.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 540
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

This book is yet a phoenominal work in the series. Although there were some things that I thought were phone ins as far as predictability was concerned. Yet it was a very melancholy tale which I can relate with the passing of Neil. But the story was incredibly well, written and left possibilities for a continuation at the end. I loved it. Kevin has a knack for brilliant story telling, and whether it's Clockwork, or Star Trek, you're in for a reading getaway.

Phenomenal Spiritual Reading
Reviewed: 06-11-22
I believe I met Bear Heart in one of the first Sun Dances I supported. This is the third time I've read the book, and I can't express the value it has for me as I keep learning more an d more each time I read this. It's a very special sacred text with much wisdom only gained through a lifetime of experience. When I listen to or read this book, it's like Grandfather is here with me to council me on what I need to learn next. I highly recommend this to anyone who may be curious aoout the ways of the Red Road. Thank you for this gift. It has uplifted my heart and spirit in so many times of difficulty. Thank you.

For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the 21st century comes as a surprise, even a shock. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before? In this pathbreaking audiobook, best-selling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao, and Castro.

This guy, wo I absolutely love, especially being an immigrant is an amazing writer. This is definitely something that I recommend as being in the library of every patriot's library. Although I disagree with his viewpoints on the Gettes Foundation and their founders, he hits every other point right on the head. And you know what? In 2022, this book is more true than when it was written. Take a look around and see if he was right.

In this book, Haley offers a firsthand perspective on major national and international matters as well as a behind-the-scenes account of her tenure in the Trump administration.

In the best-selling tradition of The Swerve and A Distant Mirror, The Verge tells the story of a period that marked a decisive turning point for both European and world history. Here, author Patrick Wyman examines two complementary and contradictory sides of the same historical coin: the world-altering implications of the developments of printed mass media, extreme taxation, exploitative globalization, humanistic learning, gunpowder warfare, and mass religious conflict in the long term, and their intensely disruptive consequences in the short-term.

I was told by a friend about the Tides of History podcast and instantly got hooked. Patrick takes his amazing story telling ability and crafts it into a book that was not only deeply educational, but entertaining as well, just like the podcast. I can't wait to see what he writes next as I'm sure I'd enjoy those to come as well. Not only that, he has a writing style that I aspire to. So it's without saying that his presentation is inspirational to me.

Who is killing America? Is it really Donald Trump and a GOP filled with white supremacists? In this audiobook, Dinesh D’Souza makes the provocative case that Democrats are the ones killing America by turning it into a massive nanny state modeled on the Southern plantation system. Death of a Nation's bracing alternative vision of American history explains the Democratic Party's dark past, reinterprets the roles of figures like Van Buren, FDR, and LBJ, and exposes the hidden truth that racism comes not from Trump or the conservative right but rather from Democrats.

If I were teaching history and or civics, this would be a must read in my class. Even as a student of history myself, I find that the author has such a grasp on his research and his work such that I learned many insightful things about the DemocraticParty and what it really stands for. D'Souza, being an immigrant himself is an example of what other cultures can offer us. I'm proud to have him as a fellow citizen. This book was very well done and worth a reread.
