I've been a fan for decades and own a crate of his music, but I knew little of his early career development and achievements. Indeed a humble fella with a vase array of accomplishments, Paul's story is entertaining and inspiring. Learning about his early Shenanigans in the club scenes from his twenties reminded me of my escapades, although mine was actually my thirties not even close in scale and influence. What he brought to the electronic music scene was groundbreaking; we owe him a lot, although he also probably contributed unknowingly to a little of my hearing loss. You'll probably love this book if you love Oakey as much as I do. It's an easy read, and if you're like me, you'll accompany it with intermissions to listen to various tracks he references along the journey. Thanks, Paul; you're still my favorite Superstar DJ.

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol. Within minutes of his arrival, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object is discovered in the Capitol Building. The object is an ancient invitation, meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. And when Langdon's mentor is kidnapped, Langdon's only hope of saving him is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him.
