I love the way this addresses a past historical event that is a staggering time of strife while not giving any current tense to it. This is how you make art!

I will preface to say that I'm not exactly fans of their internet channels, though my spouse is. She listened to the book, and then I took my stab at it. While they are engaging and do their best to keep the listener entertained, the book winds up feeling disjointed and seems to distort or even more dangerously sugar coats the worst times. The advice is mostly universally applicable and I find some to be quite helpful. Overall a 3.5/5.

Oh man. That end to the chapter. There's a lot of emotion in that last few sentences.

This passage. Keep me in the book Randy. Let's go for a ride!

This book is an absolute chore to read because of how verbose it is. But Randy really drops the reader in his shoes and takes them for a ride of every possible emotion.

You owe it to yourself to read a glorious retelling of a career by the legend himself. It has all the pace of a Sunday afternoon coffee with the man, and his tales are spoken so pleasantly, even when he had every right to be angry as hell. Because as he says: rainbows are a reminder that miracles are all around us. I couldn't be more happy to have read this, and I'm glad to not put it off any longer

Time to spend my evening with this man.

This is a stellar exploration of people from his generation. Coming from the generation after his, I kind of identify with it a bit, but there's some parts that I disagree with his assessment, but overall this is classic Spade. The Matt Foley voicemail on here is legendary and it killed me to hear that even though it's been 22 years since he passed.

A spectacular delve into the life of a child star, how she met her Doubtfire co-stars, and a lovely tale about how Robin Williams all are enough to get you hooked. But the candid way she tells how she got into acting, what she did immediately after Doubtfire, and her artist commune house are the real winners here. Her stellar and timid delivery of events is a good smooth listen. I definitely recommend the audio book over physical.

Starting to read this.

Until they become conscious they will never rebel.

Just a random thought that popped in my head. The rural urban feeling town I live in doesn't really lend itself to people who like non homogenous art.

A well-loved copy. Yellowed pages. A stamp from the senior high school with the last check out in 1971. It has a smell all its own.

I'm going to get back to reading this. But I wonder if this might not be a good album to play along...

I screamed so hard at the ending. The way the characters interact in District 13 was great. The imagery given to the reader was not lackluster. The war scenes were intense.

A return to the games during the Quarter Quell left me wanting more of the character development and more action in the arena. Haymitch actually winds up the star of this book.

A really vivid dystopian near future world where everyone sends their kids to war to enrich the citizens of the Capital while they struggle to survive. I mean, who does that? The only book I've physically thrown across the room when I read a disappointing twist

One of my favorite books, I finally read this after watching the movie for about ten years. The only thing I disliked was how unprepared I was for how the Rob Fleming character was distanced from Rob Gordon. An exciting book from start to finish, twists, turns, and character issues throughout.
