It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart.

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Story5 out of 5 stars 16,163
Social scientist Brené Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability—the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome—is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,449
Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly: to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives. In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on 12 years of research, her book argues that vulnerability is not weakness but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection.

What made the experience of listening to Daring Greatly the most enjoyable?
She brought the shame issue to a understanding, that I have been hiding behind shame most of my life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Daring Greatly?
When she spoke on how shame can also effect man as much as woman, It's a human condition!
Which scene was your favorite?
I the guy in yellow izod sweeter I enjoy that story
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Daring Greatly?
There is some simple trues, but powerful when I got, that shame was my driving force in my life.You really have to put yourself out and take chances if want to live the whole hearted life.I will have to go back to these book several times to apply some of this trues. So many things to take in I will us the book as a refrence, for some time to come

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 63,512
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

What a story!!

If you could sum up 11-22-63 in three words, what would they be?
Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!
What was one of the most memorable moments of 11-22-63?
The history around the assanation, I learn a lot about what happen, during one of the darkest days in American history. And also about the pass not wanting to be change, and what could happen if we could change the past. Made me think, things happen for a reason.
What about Craig Wasson???s performance did you like?
Very good job, Mr Wasson really made the story come to life, I found myself hanging on to every word, I laugh out loud some times and I found myself getting choked up at times. I think his performance is one of the reason, I enjoyed the book so much.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I thinks it would be very hard to make a movie about this book, maybe a mini series. Like they did with the stand!
Any additional comments?
Love it, Thank you Mr King!!
