Story5 out of 5 stars 4,808
Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask—or not—was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he’s stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most.

Funny and poignant

I love his mix of funny, bizarre, and difficult stories, told with a deadpan delivery.

Awesome info, annoying narration
Reviewed: 07-30-23
The narrator mispronounces some words that makes it hard to take him seriously and makes my eye twitch. “Asterick” instead of asterisk, “toomerick” instead of turmeric…who allowed this? Also the ending chapters of recipes being read aloud is great for falling asleep to, it is very dry listening. All of that probably could have been left in a pdf instead of read aloud. The rest of the book is great, it’s very informative and interesting.

Fiber Fueled

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,772
The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

This book is well researched and easy to understand. I like the graduated plan to introduce more fiber into the diet as well.

Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues - a bee, a key, and a sword.

Great book, terrible narration
Reviewed: 12-31-19
The first narrator was already grating on my nerves with his pedantic and stilted style, and then they tipped me over the edge by having another narrator pronounce "foliage" as "foilage". How on earth this made it past editing, I have no idea. The story is good but the narration is so bad that it's distracting and makes it hard to listen to.

From comedian and ex-diet junkie Caroline Dooner, an inspirational guide that will help you stop dieting, reboot your relationship with food, and regain your personal power. Our bodies are hardwired against dieting. But each time our diets fail, instead of considering that maybe our ridiculously low-carb diet is the problem, we wonder what’s wrong with us.

Reviewed: 11-20-19
Not everyone is going to be ready to hear what's in this book, but for those who have tried every diet under the sun and are absolutely miserable because of it, this might be for you. This book really resonated with me and I immediately stopped dieting and stopped weighing myself after reading it. That was in August, and I haven't felt this happy with my food, body, and stress levels in about 20 years (which is coincidentally when I started dieting).

Just another low carb plan
Reviewed: 08-20-18
Nothing revolutionary to see here, just another low carb plan masquerading as something doable. For those of us who absolutely suffer doing low carb diets, this book is pretty useless. The narration is fine, but the content is nothing new.
