    Publisher's Summary:
    A revelatory narrative of the intersecting lives and works of revered authors Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence during 1922, the birth year of modernism.
    The World Broke in Two tells the fascinating story of the intellectual and personal journeys four legendary writers - Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence - make over the course of one pivotal year. As 1922 begins, all four are literally at a loss for words, confronting an uncertain creative future despite success in the past. The literary ground is shifting, as Ulysses is published in February and Proust's In Search of Lost Time begins to be published in England in the autumn. Yet, dismal as their prospects seemed in January, by the end of the year Woolf has started Mrs. Dalloway, Forster has, for the first time in nearly a decade, returned to work on the novel that will become A Passage to India, Lawrence has written Kangaroo, his unjustly neglected and most autobiographical novel, and Eliot has finished - and published to acclaim - "The Waste Land".
    As Willa Cather put it, "The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts", and what these writers were struggling with that year was in fact the invention of modernism. Based on original research, Bill Goldstein's The World Broke in Two captures both the literary breakthroughs and the intense personal dramas of these beloved writers as they strive for greatness.

    The best non-fiction Audible book I've heard
    What made the experience of listening to The World Broke in Two the most enjoyable?
    Bill Goldstein has certainly studied well how novelists write, because he brings a novelist's sensibility to this book. The characters he describes are vibrant, there is a great arc to the narrative as it weaves these four lives together, and he ends each chapter as a cliffhanger, making you want to read on and on to find out what happens. I had to keep checking Wikipedia to be sure that "The Waste Land" was indeed published in "The Dial" because it seemed so uncertain throughout the book that it would be.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    If found Virginia Woolf the most sympathetic and complicated character. She seems to have spoken most freely in her diary and therefore it was easiest to find out about her ambitions, and her insecurities. She came across as the most human. I never realized how all four of the characters interacted with each other so regularly. It was fascinating to learn that about them.
    What about Bill Goldsteins performance did you like?
    He was clear and concise and easy to follow.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    Yes
    Any additional comments?
    This is the best non-fiction book I have listened to on Audible so far. Mr Goldstein's account is incredibly detailed and erudite, but laid out in such a straightforward way that even a lay person without much knowledge of the key players can follow along and learn. The depth and breadth of research that went into this book is simply astounding. I don't know how he managed to synthesize all of that information into a coherent narrative. He found so many sources and little scraps of information that he then masterfully wove into a coherent and even exciting narrative.

    Publisher's Summary:
    James Boswell forever changed the genre of biography when he painstakingly transformed a scholarly profusion of detail into a perceptive, lifelike portrait of Dr. Samuel Johnson. James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson reveals a man of outsized appetites and private vulnerabilities and is the source of much of what we know about one of the towering figures of English literature. Boswell spent a great deal of time with Johnson in his final years and from his scrupulously accurate memory and copious journal was able to faithfully record the brilliance and wit of Dr. Johnson's conversation. Boswell's aim and achievement was completeness; no detail was too small for him. On this point Dr. Johnson remarked to him, "There is nothing, sir, too little for so little a creature as man."
    Boswell's thirst for detail makes this indisputably the finest of many biographies of Johnson. This biography gained its unique place in literary history from the fact that its style was revolutionary. The usual style of biographers of that era was to record dry facts from the subject's public life only. Boswell differed by incorporating actual conversations of Dr. Johnson, which Boswell had previously noted down in journals, and by including many more details of personal life. The result revolutionized the genre.
    For both its subject and its style, The Life of Samuel Johnson is still popular with modern critics and students of the history of English thought and of English literature.

    Excellent
    What made the experience of listening to The Life of Samuel Johnson the most enjoyable?
    I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Mr Mayes does a brilliant Dr Johnson. My only gripe is the recording is a little faint and iffy at times but I encourage you to persevere. After 40+ hours of listening, you will feel immersed in the book and that Dr Johnson and Boswell are close friends.

    Publisher's Summary:
    In Jimmy Buffett: A Good Life All the Way, acclaimed music critic Ryan White has crafted the first definitive account of Buffett's rise from singing songs for beer to his emergence as a tropical icon and CEO behind the Margaritaville industrial complex, a vast network of merchandise, chain restaurants, resorts, and lifestyle products all inspired by his sunny but disillusioned hit "Margaritaville".
    Filled with interviews from friends, musicians, Coral Reefer Band members past and present, and business partners who were there, this book is a top-down joyride with plenty of side trips and meanderings from Mobile and Pascagoula to New Orleans, Key West, down into the islands aboard the Euphoria and the Euphoria II, and into the studios and onto the stages where the foundation of Buffett's reputation was laid.
    Buffett wasn't always the pied piper of beaches, bars, and laid-back living. Born on the Gulf Coast, the son of a son of a sailing ship captain, Buffett scuffed around New Orleans in the late '60s, flunked out of Nashville (and a marriage) in 1971, and found refuge among the artists, dopers, shrimpers, and genuine characters who'd collected at the end of the road in Key West. And it was there, in those waning outlaw days at the last American exit, where Buffett, like Hemingway before him, found his voice and eventually brought to life the song that would launch Parrot Head nation.
    And just where is Margaritaville? It's wherever it's five o'clock; it's wherever there's a breeze and salt in the air; and it's wherever Buffett sets his bare feet, smiles, and sings his songs.

    Learn how to pronounce local terms
    Love the book but the narrater mispronounced so many Florida terms wrong. You can't do a Keys story using a soft ch in Conch!
    insightful, but hard listen/ read
    struggled through the first half, almost gave up. pushed through and second half was better. the overall story is good, i think it was told poorly and was very slow to develope.
    Fun Listen with some great history
    Really fun listen sharing the history of my favorite cultural icon. Tells the story of all the songs that I love made me want to go back and listen to every album in its entire tea over again. Also reminded me of some of the great music from some of Jimmy Buffett's friends.
    Ok Book on the legend.
    im not much of a music history buff, I just enjoy hearing peoples stories and how they developed their businesses.
    this book makes ongoing references to specific music industry people over and over that didnt really play into the story.

    Publisher's Summary:
    A brilliant, illuminating reassessment of the life and work of Jane Austen that makes clear how Austen has been misread for the past two centuries and that shows us how she intended her books to be read, revealing as well how subversive and daring - how truly radical - a writer she was.
    In this fascinating, revelatory work, Helena Kelly - dazzling Jane Austen authority - looks past the grand houses, the pretty young women, past the demure drawing room dramas and witty commentary on the narrow social worlds of her time that became the hallmark of Austen's work to bring to light the serious, ambitious, deeply subversive nature of this beloved writer. Kelly illuminates the radical subjects - slavery, poverty, feminism, the church, evolution among them - considered treasonous at the time, that Austen deftly explored in the six novels that have come to embody an age. The author reveals just how in the novels we find the real Jane Austen: a clever, clear-sighted woman "of information", fully aware of what was going on in the world and sure about what she thought of it. We see a writer who understood that the novel - until then seen as mindless "trash" - could be a great art form and who, perhaps more than any other writer up to that time, imbued it with its particular greatness.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Helena Kelly makes the case for Austen as an author steeped in the fear of war and revolution who wrote about the burning political issues of the time.... Meticulously researched.... Through a combination of beautifully precise close readings alongside Austen's biographical, literary and historical context, Kelly shows us that the novels were about nothing more or less than the burning political questions of the day... A deeply welcome book.... A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves." (Caroline Criado-Perez, The Guardian)
    "Kelly amply shows her deep research into some of the lesser-known elements of Austen's life and work.... She exposes a depth beyond what at first may seem to be silly characters. A fine-grained study that shows us how to read between the lines to discover the remarkable woman who helped transform the novel from trash to an absolute art form." (Kirkus Reviews)
    "A thoroughly engaging read." (Devoney Looser, The Times Literary Supplement)

    Jane Would Have Approved
    This is the best book on Jane Austen and her sparkling novels that I've ever read. In depth, insightful and clear, I was really surprised at how entertaining this was to boot, especially since this could be used as a college text book. I agree wholeheartedly with the review of Donna G. Storey. Unlike the 2nd reviewer, I actually did agree with almost everything in this book, and it helped me to see the bigger picture behind many of the greater themes and the tiny details of each of my six favorite novels.
    The Depths of Austen's Vision Revealed
    Thanks to Helena Kelly for eloquently arguing what I always knew in my bones--Jane Austen's novels are deeply political and empower the reader's critical sensibility. They would not be so compelling and timeless if they weren't.

    This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works.
    In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

    Publisher's Summary:
    The nonfiction debut from beloved international sensation and New York Times best-selling author Tatiana de Rosnay: her best-selling biography of novelist Daphne du Maurier.
    "It's impressive how Tatiana was able to recreate the personality of my mother, including her sense of humor. It is very well written and very moving. I'm sure my mother would have loved this book." (Tessa Montgomery d'Alamein, daughter of Daphné du Maurier, as told to Pauline Sommelet in Point de Vue)
    As a bilingual best-selling novelist with a mixed Franco-British bloodline and a host of eminent forbears, Tatiana de Rosnay is the perfect candidate to write a biography of Daphne du Maurier. As an 11-year-old de Rosnay read and reread Rebecca, becoming a lifelong devotee of Du Maurier's fiction. Now de Rosnay pays homage to the writer who influenced her so deeply, following Du Maurier from a shy seven-year-old to a rebellious 16-year-old, a 20-something newlywed, and finally a cantankerous old lady. With a rhythm and intimacy to its prose characteristic of all de Rosnay's works, Manderley Forever is a vividly compelling portrait and celebration of an intriguing, hugely popular and (at the time) critically underrated writer.

    Fascinating story
    Loved the book but the narrator has the most awful pronunciation not just if Cornish name places but it took me a while to realise what she meant about many things subaltern for example !!! Rather annoying ..
    Disappointing!
    Where does Manderley Forever rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
    Not as good as hoped. Some of the details were dubious.. For example....not a mention was made of Daphne Du Maurier visiting Cyprus whilst she was staying in Egypt. Some say that is where she wrote "Rebecca"....her most famous novel!
    How did the narrator detract from the book?
    Oh dear! The pronunciation of some of the words was awful. Words like "interminable"....you cannot emphasise the "min" surely...? [Interminable].And the pronunciation of the Cornish place names - not great! Quite detracted from the narration overall.HOWEVER - the pronunciation of the French words was great! Credit where it is due....
    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    I love anything to do with Daphne Du Maurier - so I liked the content but nothing new.
    Any additional comments?
    A bit disappointed overall.

    The long awaited republishing of NYHC Legend, John Bloodclot Joseph's raw and unfiltered autobiography. As real as it gets!
    Updated with new chapters.
    In his newly updated autobiography, NYHC legend John Bloodclot Joseph recounts his hard times and spiritual redemption. A traumatic childhood in foster homes was just the beginning of John's evolution. Before fronting one of the most important bands in the underground punk scene, the Cro-Mags, John faced homelessness, addiction, betrayal and insanity. Still, even his success couldn't save him from a relapse that set him back to square one - rock bottom. The book is a raw and unapologetic autobiography about his life. Consider yourself warned.
    Members Reviews:
    amazing
    wow, was the first word that came to mind when I began this book, little did I know that I would be using that word quite often. John's story if full of pain and struggle but positivity as well. How someone can overcome these situations is amazing. PMA. great book
    Captured me from beginning to end!
    There are so many stories in this book that could be their own books. I found myself waking up in the morning looking forward to listening and waiting to go inside to see my family until the section I was listening to was completed.
    The author telling about these events in his own words made it even better. I would tell my wife about some of the stories and I would start taking like the writer to relay them.
    I cannot imagine going through what he's been through and coming out the other side at all - and definitely not with a positive mental attitude. Salute to this man, his story, and his evolution.
    Incredible story told by a brilliant story teller
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    Yes. Genuine, raw, funny and dramatic. One of the best non-fiction stories told in the modern age. This hero's journey is worth your time and attention.
    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon?
    The most memorable part of this story or the one that resonated loudly is how John survived the Volenti house of horrors and his time being institutionalized.
    What does John Joseph bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    His story telling is top notch. The book combined with him telling the story is an unshakeable combination.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    I listened to this book non-stop.
    way, way too long, but at the end its just okay.
    really the plot line could have been a little more organized and should have been streamlined by omitting the filler stories. also, I was disappointed by the lack of Cro mags stories--he completely ignored mentioning the few mags shows he did with Harley in the 2000s, which doubled bummed me out since I was at the Hellfest 02 gig they played. This is a CRUCIAL detail as the dispute between Harley and JJ is one of the most legendary beefs in the history of punk, but obviously they let down their walls in order to play a few more gigs together; what events led to the reunion of the closest incarnation of a Mags reunion?
    simply amazing
    I loved this book. the emotion that john poured into it retelling his words was awesome. do yourself a favor and listen.

    Publisher's Summary:
    On May 27, 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart met a flirtatious little starling in a Viennese shop who sang an improvised version of the theme from his Piano Concerto no. 17 in G major. Sensing a kindred spirit in the plucky young bird, Mozart bought him and took him home to be a family pet. For three years the starling lived with Mozart, influencing his work and serving as his companion, distraction, consolation, and muse.
    Two centuries later starlings are reviled by even the most compassionate conservationists. A nonnative, invasive species, they invade sensitive habitats, outcompete local birds for nest sites and food, and decimate crops. A seasoned birder and naturalist, Lyanda Lynn Haupt is well versed in the difficult and often strained relationships these birds have with other species and the environment. But after rescuing a baby starling of her own, Haupt found herself enchanted by the same intelligence and playful spirit that had so charmed her favorite composer.
    In Mozart's Starling, Haupt explores the unlikely and remarkable bond between one of history's most cherished composers and one of earth's most common birds. The intertwined stories of Mozart's beloved pet and Haupt's own starling provide an unexpected window into human-animal friendships, music, the secret world of starlings, and the nature of creative inspiration. A blend of natural history, biography, and memoir, Mozart's Starling is a tour de force that awakens a surprising new awareness of our place in the world.

    Well written, engaging and personal. The listener shares the experience of the author and is pushed to think and reflect. Narration is beautifully done and enhanced the experience. I would absolutely recommend this book!!
    Whimsical!
    A joyful book of nature, nurture and creativity...a whimsical window into one of Mozarts creative inspirations! Musical and magical, joyful and sorrowful, wild and witty! This book is a little gem shining a light into the connection between art, nature, man and bird.
    Birds of a feather
    This charming book gets an A plus! Entertaining and informative... Sweet and thought provoking... A glorious read.
    Author primarily talks about her life
    This is quite poor compared with other stories of women who have cared for a falcon or an octopus, for example. Mozart is incide

    Publisher's Summary:
    One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year
    The true but unlikely stories of lives devoted - absurdly! Melancholically! Beautifully! - to the Russian classics
    No one who read Elif Batuman's first article (in the journal n+1) will ever forget it. "Babel in California" told the true story of various human destinies intersecting at Stanford University during a conference about the enigmatic writer Isaac Babel. Over the course of several pages, Batuman managed to misplace Babel's last living relatives at the San Francisco airport, uncover Babel's secret influence on the making of King Kong, and introduce her readers to a new voice that was unpredictable, comic, humane, ironic, charming, poignant, and completely, unpretentiously full of love for literature.
    Batuman's subsequent pieces - for The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and the London Review of Books - have made her one of the most sought-after and admired writers of her generation, and its best traveling companion. In The Possessed we watch her investigate a possible murder at Tolstoy's ancestral estate. We go with her to Stanford, Switzerland, and St. Petersburg; retrace Pushkin's wanderings in the Caucasus; learn why Old Uzbek has 100 different words for crying; and see an 18th-century ice palace reconstructed on the Neva.
    Love and the novel, the individual in history, the existential plight of the graduate student: all find their places in The Possessed. Literally and metaphorically following the footsteps of her favorite authors, Batuman searches for the answers to the big questions in the details of lived experience, combining fresh readings of the great Russians, from Pushkin to Platonov, with the sad and funny stories of the lives they continue to influence - including her own.

    Dear Russian Literary Diary...
    I first became aware of Elif Batuman's book almost seven years ago when I saw it suddenly appear (mistakenly?) next to Tolstoy on the Fiction shelf at B&N. A few years later at another bookstore I saw it shelved next to Dostoevsky. At first I was a bit irritated. I figured it was a bit of shelving incompetence. What kind of people were these bookstores hiring these days? Later, however, I softened. I actually began to feel this was a form of NINJA (Sambo?) marketing. Perhaps, it wasn't accidentally placed there. Who actually peruses Literary Criticism/Literary Memoir sections these days? Perhaps, the placement in the Fiction section next to BIG Russian authors wasn't a mistake after all. It actually jammed the book into my craw; dropped it into my radar.
    How to describe the book? It isn't exactly a memoir and isn't exactly literary criticism. It reads like a hyper-caffeinated, precocious literary/travel diary for an introspective writer/academic fascinated by the granular context surrounding Russian novels. Batuman isn't just interested in the text. She wants to shoot Chekhov's gun and lay on some train tracks in St. Petersburg. She wants the genealogy and the genetic profile of these novels and stories. Toward the end of her academic career (and her book) it isn't just fetish items and places she is obsessed with.

    Note: This is a book summary of How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life by Scott Adams
    Original book description:
    Blasting clichéd career advice, the contrarian pundit and creator of Dilbert recounts the humorous ups and downs of his career, revealing the outsized role of luck in our lives and how best to play the system.
    Scott Adams has likely failed at more things than anyone you've ever met or anyone you've even heard of. So how did he go from hapless office worker and serial failure to the creator of Dilbert, one of the world's most famous syndicated comic strips, in just a few years? In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Adams shares the game plan he's followed since he was a teen: invite failure in, embrace it, then pick its pocket.
    No career guide can offer advice that works for everyone. As Adams explains, your best bet is to study the ways of others who made it big and try to glean some tricks and strategies that make sense for you. Adams pulls back the covers on his own unusual life and shares how he turned one failure after another - including his corporate career, his inventions, his investments, and his two restaurants - into something good and lasting. There's a lot to learn from his personal story, and a lot of entertainment along the way. Adams discovered some unlikely truths that helped to propel him forward. For instance:
