Title: Farewell, Aleppo

Subtitle: My Father, My People, and Their Long Journey Home

Author: Claudette E. Sutton

Narrator: Claudette E. Sutton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-14-17

Publisher: Claudette E. Sutton

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The Jews of Aleppo, Syria, had been part of the city's fabric for more than two thousand years, in good times and bad, through conquerors and kings. But in the middle years of the twentieth century, all that changed. To Selim Sutton, a merchant with centuries of roots in the Syrian soil, the dangers of rising anti-Semitism made clear that his family must find a new home. With several young children and no prospect of securing visas to the United States, he devised a savvy plan for getting his family out: "exporting" his sons. In January, he sent two oldest, Meir and Saleh, just 19 and 17 years old, to Shanghai to work in an uncle's export business, with hopes that China would provide a steppingstone to America. All this changed in December 1941 when Japanese forces bombed Pearl Harbor and seized Shanghai the next day. From then until the end of the war, Mike endured Japanese occupation in Shanghai alone, across the world from his family, with only his mettle to rely on as he strived to survive personally and economically in the face of increasing deprivation. Told with a journalist's eye and a daughter's love, Farewell, Aleppo is the poignant story, written and narrated by Mike's daughter, of the journey that would ultimately take him from the insular Jewish community of Aleppo to the solitary task of building a new life in America.

Great book! Impressive and eye opening

Thank you for such a wonderful book. I share some similar history and appreciated what you wrote and the style of it. Honest and refreshing!

Four Stars

Gave me a new perspective on Syrian Jews and their life style. Well-written and memorable.

Four Stars

I have not read it completely, but I do find it interesting and very well written.

A gem of a story that is truly a labor of love

Claudette Sutton received the honor of a lifetime when her father asked her to help him write his story. What resulted is a treasure trove of family memories and a fascinating window into the history of the Syrian-Jewish culture.

I was interested in reading this story because my only knowledge of Aleppo is as a battleground in Syriaâs civil war. The iconic photo of the dazed little Aleppo boy covered in blood and dust symbolizes the current suffering of the civilians and put Aleppo forefront in our minds.

This engaging story which is part memoir, part history and part personal journey reads like a love story between a daughter and her father. A daughter searches for her roots, a father yearns to make meaning of his past against the backdrop of World War II. The rich culture of her people is brought alive on the pages as are the characters in the story, complete with many photos of the family. We meet all her family, including her beloved and respected paternal grandfather Selim Sutton who, sensing instability in the Syrian government, had the foresight to protect his children from future ties to Syria. Selim sends her father, Meir, or Mike Sutton and his younger brother, Sal to work in his uncleâs textile business when they are teenagers. We get the inside view of what that was like through her fatherâs introspection and her own reflections. The themes of being an insider and an outsider are explored.

Members Reviews:

A Very Enjoyable Read

The book is exciting and well written. James takes us through his training as an age-grouper for and racing the Ironman U.S. Championship set in New York City, August, 2012. A good blend of personal and family events mixed in with just the right amount of training details and data. It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to read about his "race day". It's a fun read as James is good at expressing the mental "second guessing" going on in his mind leading into the race. Race day comes and it gets even better. You are right there with him that day experiencing the polluted waters of the Hudson River and the hills & heat of the bike & run course.

Title: How to Be a Beta Male

Author: Robert Crampton

Narrator: Michael Fenton Stevens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

From rom coms to wrestling and fatherhood to fist fights, Robert Crampton's How to Be a Beta Male is a brilliantly funny and sometimes moving insight into being a modern-day bloke.

Robert Crampton has been writing his Beta Male column for The Times since 2001. A much-loved weekly insight into modern masculinity - whatever that might mean - Beta Male strives to unlock the secrets of contemporary relationships in all their frequent glory, occasional frustration and ongoing complexity. While by his own admission totally failing in this task, Crampton is at any rate amusing as he goes about his business, as his legions of loyal fans would attest.

How to Be a Beta Male is a carefully curated selection, bursting with observational nuggets on the minutiae of daily domestics and disasters in the Crampton household and offering the very best of a 16-year-long account of what it is to be a beta male married to an alpha female.

From his attempts at DIY to disciplining their children to trying once in a while to put his foot down to getting involved in a punch-up in the street in her defence, Robert continues to fail to impress his wife but always delights his fans.

It's a very smart, extremely funny and yet surprisingly sensitive exploration of the trials, tribulations - and, ultimately, triumphs - of not being young, free and single.

Title: Faith in Action: A Short Biography

Author: Peter G. W. Marchand

Narrator: Peter G. W. Marchand

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-17

Publisher: Peter G.W. Publishing

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Oh no, not another Christian book! Well, yes! I always used to say to my wife, "If I ever think of writing a book, tell me not to!" She did - but I have written it anyway! Why? About a year ago I received a request from India to write a gospel tract. I did so. The pastor concerned then asked me to write a short biography as a testimony book. To be honest, I could not think of a good reason why I should not spend a little time to testify to the faithfulness of God throughout my life. Why not? I thought. You never know, it might encourage someone somewhere. So here it is. I have kept it brief on purpose so that you, the listener, can hopefully by the grace of God get the points I am endeavoring to make. I trust you will enjoy this short biography. Thank you and God bless you, wherever you are.

Titolo: La rivoluzione del coniglio

Sottotitolo: Come il buddismo mi ha cambiato la vita

Autore: Antonello Dose

Narratore: Antonello Dose

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 7 hrs and 44 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 10-18-17

Editore: Mondadori Libri S.p.A.

Categoria: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Riepilogo Editore:

"Aloha! Sono Antonello Dose, quello del 'Ruggito del Coniglio'. Da molti anni pratico il buddismo di Nichiren Daishonin. Ho iniziato per curiosità, per fiducia verso chi me ne aveva parlato e aveva insistito tanto affinché partecipassi a una riunione in una casa privata. 'Metti dei calzini puliti' mi disse Betta, 'ti chiederanno di togliere le scarpe.'

Il mio è il racconto di venticinque anni di esperienze di fede e di vita quotidiana che mi hanno permesso di approfondire la conoscenza di me stesso e di quello straordinario, profondissimo, misterioso, gioioso fenomeno che si chiama 'vita' e che ci vede, consapevoli o meno, tutti coinvolti.

Provengo da una famiglia cattolica ed è stato inevitabile, in questi anni, avere dubbi di ogni genere e confrontare i risultati che ho ottenuto seguendo prima una religione e poi l'altra. Ho sperimentato cosa significa abbracciare il Sutra del Loto e recitare con costanza Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, la Legge dell'Universo. Ho provato gli effetti del Daimoku sullo stato vitale, nella percezione di me e degli altri, nella salute, nella protezione dagli incidenti e nell'attirare la buona fortuna.

Sono tanti i motivi di gioia e di gratitudine che mi spingono a questo racconto, finora vissuto gelosamente in privato, ma la gioia più grande, da un po' di tempo a questa parte, è notare che il fenomeno 'vita' funziona esattamente come intuito e descritto dal primo Budda storico Shakyamuni, come spiegato da Nichiren Daishonin nel XIII secolo e attualizzato da quello che considero il mio maestro, Daisaku Ikeda.

Ci sono stati anche dolori, malattie, lutti. E l'energia vitale per affrontarli. Ma ciò che conta è che direzione diamo all'esistenza, alla nostra mente e al nostro cuore insieme, 'kokoro' in giapponese. Il buddismo mi ha cambiato la vita, e ve lo racconto senza pudori."

Questa è la storia di Antonello Dose. Una storia intensa, empatica, dolorosa. Svelata anche negli aspetti più duri, con una scrittura lieve e luminosa che ci sorprende. Prima di incontrare Ikeda, Dose ha avuto due maestri: Eugenio Barba, il grande guru del teatro di ricerca, e Enrico Vaime, il gran maestro del varietà radiofonico e televisivo.

La sintesi inaspettata che ne deriva, di leggerezza e di radicalità antropologica e mistica, fa di questo libro di iniziazione al buddismo una lettura difficile da dimenticare.

Two over-worked high school teachers develop a monthly tradition of seeking out the nearest wine bar where they try to outdo each other swapping stories with such outrageous characters as an evil monkey in lederhosen, a modern-day witch, a maleficent administrator, a tortilla toss champion, a talking appendix, and a sad-eyed duck named George. Nice Legs is a book for everyone who enjoys a superb glass of wine paired with intoxicating prose.

Members Reviews:

Nice Legs! Nice Book!

Just finished reading âNice Legsâ by Larry Zeiger and Jack Beddows. Fantastic reading. Not only did it recount both factual and imaginative reminiscences of the authorsâ lives, but the book gave me an appreciation of wineâand how wine choice can complement oneâs memories and journeys

.

My favorite was the story about George the duck. Youâve got to read it to realize how cleverly Larry relates his experience with a haute cuisine dinner to an experience as a child with his pet duck.

I canât wait for Larry and Jackâs next book! Iâd love to go to dinner with these two creative geniuses and see their creative juices flowingâand of course, the wine!

Wonderful Book of Tales Living in San Diego!

I love this book! What a great idea between two people from different backgrounds who wind up together sharing really interesting and often funny tales of their lives since the day each had arrived in San Diego to stay!! I found myself relating to some of their stories which included places I have been and still go to and the restaurants most of us have frequented. Not to mention the interesting people we come across in the communities of San Diego! How funny each chapter was! The 2 authors write as if you are in the same room with them and they are personally telling you their stories. I think it is a great intro for new people in San Diego as well as a great read for all of us who have been here most or, all our lives!

Nice Legs! from a pair of (often) naughty boys.

The authors must have had a great time writing this, although they probably don't remember much of that part. The stories they shared in their various wine bars (and cups) are fun to read. But here's a tip: enjoy the recommended wine with each chapter, and read the book aloud. These are stories meant for telling. I only wish they had mentioned real names!

The premise of the escapism of good wine initiates Jack and Larry to leave the stresses ...

This book is wildly entertaining. It contains all manner of wacky characters and life episodes in short stories. The premise of the escapism of good wine initiates Jack and Larry to leave the stresses of the current day behind to reminicse on stories of good, bad and hilarious times before. There is nothing better that sipping on good wine and swapping stories with an old friend; however, reading these entertaining tales alone with a good glass of wine is a close second.

Great Book

Extremely well written book. Make sure you are not in hurry when reading this book. The wine will add to the adventures that the author describes ... this short stories actually happened in real life.

I highly recommend this book ... a good way to open our eyes to other perspectives and see things from other minds.

Title: What I Learnt

Subtitle: What My Listeners Say - and Why We Should Take Notice

Author: Jeremy Vine

Narrator: Peter Kenny, Jeremy Vine

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-07-17

Publisher: Orion

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Having started on Radio 2 in January 2003, Jeremy Vine realised he was soon to take his 25,000th listener call to his lunchtime show. As the magic number approached, he decided to take stock of the wisdom his listeners have imparted over the airwaves by way of anecdotes on everything including love, life and poisonous plants.

The moment of self-reflection couldn't have come at a better time, with his doctor warning him about 'sniper's alley' - when people get taken out by all kinds of illnesses between 47 and 52.

When Jeremy's brother - the comedian Tim Vine - bought him a watch for his 50th birthday, Jeremy concluded that if the watch was bought by comedy, then perhaps every second of his life was now a joke. Which was when he decided to go on Strictly Come Dancing.

This is his hilarious memoir of lessons learnt from life, listeners and Len Goodman.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Members Reviews:

Why can't Jeremy read his own book?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was an enjoyable listen on my drive to work. Light and entertaining.

What was one of the most memorable moments of What I Learnt?

A collection of anecdotes from the life and career of Jeremy Vine. Not quite an autobiography though. Some funny stores and some sad.

What about Jeremy Vine and Peter Kenny s performance did you like?

I don't understand why Jeremy Vine isn't reading the whole book - disappointing.

Outstanding!

A great listen. Takes the best of the Jeremy Vine show & gives background, analysis & depth to some of the stories & characters who have called in.

A thoroughly entertaining read

This book is packed with short stories which on some occasions shows the lengths some people will go to to get a mention on radio and at other times tells some truly heart warming stories and heart renching tales carefully compiled to make a truly entertaining read.

Who doesnt read their own audio book!

Annoyed that the sample was Jeremy Vine , then purchased to find our he only reads the introduction! I love Jeremy Vines show and wanted to hear him, instead a man who has the same annoying voice as Ed Milliband. It bored me as I wasnt engaged, gave up after half way through. It would have been completely different if Jeremy was reading it himself.

This audiobook was truly touching!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this book to anyone who is or knows of a person with infertility problems. This is a great narrative on hidden infertility problems that most people wouldn't even consider. Thanks!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Destination from Infertility to Children?

When they found out what the cause of infertility was!

Such an emotional and heart-warming book!

I couldn't believe how emotionally moving this book was. Infertility is something that should not be messed with. Infertility is a serious matter. This book does a great job at explaining the turmoil one goes through with infertility problems.

Very interesting. I loved reading about what life was like back then.

Great Details of a Soldier's Life from Boot Camp to Honorable Discharge

Quick read of one soldier's life. I especially appreciated the discussion of life from draft notice to honorable discharge. Great bits of information are included. Basic training was 17 weeks long (although this probably also included what we now call AIT). His deployed immediate unit consisted of ten men and three vehicles: lead by a Sergeant, with two jeeps and a light armored car, armed with rifles, .50 caliber machine gun, a 37mm main gun on the armored car along with a .30 Browning chain gun. Good break from reading history at the strategic level. It's great to learn what the soldiers with their boots on the ground had to do, not only the hazardous tasks, but also the mundane logistics. Thank you to Mr. McCormick for serving our country, and also thank you to Mr. Rippl for telling his story.
