pickFinally finished this audiobook this weekend while cleaning house! It was interesting to hear about different people and how the 60‘s shaped them. Colin Powell, Joan Baez, Dick Cheney, Warren Beatty....the tumultuous 60‘s was a decade I was born in, but didn‘t have the insight that the book brought to me.
Listening on my lunchtime walk. Snow is gone....can‘t wait for green grass and trees in bloom! This is my first time on this path near my office. I‘ll be back! Learning a lot about the Baby Boomers in the mean time.
Finally catching up on year end posts. I knocked my 2016 GoodReads Challenge out of the park, thanks in part to audiobooks but mostly to Litsy! I've set my 2017 goal at 70 books, something I would have considered impossible before Litsy, so thanks, you guys are the best! 😍
pickA history class in and of itself. Brokaw is so damn smart, and knows so much because of his life as a reporter and news anchor, not to mention all of his contacts and resources, Boom! is just jam-packed with information, quotes, and thought-provoking commentary from both Brokaw and his reunion cast of 60s notables. Politics, music, social change, women's issues... Boom! covers everything. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
