The United States' response to the terrible events of September 11, 2001 marked a watershed in American policy toward the Middle East region. Instead of pursuing stability, the country has practiced a strategy of destabilization in the hopes of democratization. What are the results, and what can we expect U.S. policy to be in the new administration?

I learned so much in a short period of time. I may listen to it again. It was easy to follow and understand. They do discuss how Osama Bin Laden has yet to be found... so it's a bit out of date, but it was still interesting!

Only got to HOW in the last 10 mins (and in the intro). Yes, burn calories and eat healthy. Thanks. I know why I should lose weight. I know how to lose it BEFORE I had the baby. I thought this book would give unique advice for moms recovering from pregnancy, labor (tearing? Incontinence that makes exercising again make you feel sad) dealing with frequent night wakings, how bodies are different, separation or weakening of abdominals, breastfeeding, etc. Instead it treated the listener as if we never thought about losing weight, and that our body is the same as anyone else's. They are not the same. I have motivation to lose weight which is why I bought the book. Instead the book was telling me to get motivated and why I should want to start trying.
The narrator made repeated reading errors that were not edited out.
I only spent a measly 2 bucks on this book - but it was a waste! Should be called "why anyone should want to lose weight."

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11,915
Golden Globe-winning actor Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) performs Truman Capote's masterstroke about a young writer's charmed fascination with his unorthodox neighbor, the "American geisha" Holly Golightly. Holly - a World War II-era society girl in her late teens - survives via socialization, attending parties and restaurants with men from the wealthy upper class who also provide her with money and expensive gifts. Over the course of the novella, the seemingly shallow Holly slowly opens up to the curious protagonist.

A recent study showed that people with super-cluttered homes were 77 percent more likely to be overweight or obese! In Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight, organizing guru Peter Walsh comes to the rescue with a simple six-week plan to help listeners.

What did you like best about Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight? What did you like least?
I liked the way the book made me think about new items I would bring into the house (and items I'd bring into my body). It also made me feel less guilty to get rid of gifts, "the gift is NOT your aunt." What I liked the least was the idea to do workouts with the stuff I'm getting rid of. I guess that would be a good idea for some people, but it just isn't for me.
What aspect of Shaun Grindell’s performance would you have changed?
Another review mentioned that he overemphasized certain words. This was cured by listening to the book at 1.25 speed. It was much more enjoyable!
