Story4 out of 5 stars 9,457
February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.”

My favorite book of all time.

I finished the book Lincoln in the Bardo a few days ago. I have a long commute to work and spend my time listening to books often. I do not have adequate vocabulary to describe how much this story settled into me. It is written with such charm, whit, unflinching brutality and purest love packaged into one completely original story. Perfection! Do yourself an enormous favor and listen.

The incredible true story of Clifton B. "Lucky" Cates, whose service in World War I and beyond made him a legend in the annals of the Marine Corps. Cates knew that he and his small band of marines were in a desperate spot. Before handing the note over to a runner, he added three words that would resound through Marine Corps history: I WILL HOLD.

Story5 out of 5 stars 4,204
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.

I loved this from start to finish. I wish it could have gone on longer. There were many laugh out loud moments. The story was very original, entertaining and smart!
