Listening to Ms Streisand”s memoir was the greatest bookish pleasure of 2023. Utterly riveting. I hear her in my dreams. I would have loved to have met her.

Channon in the Midst of WWII England

Amazing 48 hours of listening to the often (unintentionally) hilarious Chips Channon diary entries, read in theatrically plummy tones.
Politics, society, royalty, aristo hijinks — all seen through the lens of a privileged, social-clawing narcissist. It’s utterly brilliant.
Plus, I laughed aloud so many times, at Channon’s days and observations.
Definitely not mainstream, and a delicious pleasure.

I listened to this book while driving — and read it in hardcover too.

Organized, powerful, compelling. It made me appreciate the man’s character, intellect, ambition, and decency all the more.

I laughed. Wept. Gasped at the high stakes.

Obama is a superb writer.

No plot. Instead, An avalanche of appropriated Hollywood-as-Gomorrah hash, sanctimony, cliches of every stripe, and breathtakingly banal writing.

Police Partners, Connelly-style

Connelly is the master of Los Angeles police procedurals with his own special style of setting little traps and clues along a clean, crisp narrative. Ballard was billed as his “new” main character after Harry Bosch aged out.
His Ballard intro, The Late Show, was good. Dark Sacred Night lets Bosch slip back in and I cheered! I love the character. The big juicy treat is that handsome, wily, world-weary Bosch is delivered by the delicious Titus Welliver, who knows the character inside and out, having played him in the television series.
Listen to this book!
