Anything by Marquette alum Steve Rushin
I just tried out Audm based on a recommendation. It is a nice way to consume long-form journalism. Essentially book on tape for recent articles.
Looks interesting. My only concern is that the list of magazines covered is still relatively limited, with only a couple (Atlantic, New Yorker, maybe Outside) being publications I'd likely listen to. If they ever add the Economist and/or maybe some more science or nature stuff (Smithsonian, Scientific American, etc), I would be on board in a New York Minute.
Apparently economist is going to another platform.
The Art of the Deal.
Now that's funny, best line of the day.
I have about 40 or 50 unread books on my shelf, and I finally have an opportunity to start in on it.Some of my recommendations (and I promise that none of it is Chick Lit):Anything by Marquette alum Steve RushinJames Martin, S.J. brings some interesting and humorous perspectives on religion and the modern world.Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Yes, it's the book that inspired the musical, and it is fascinating. Maybe 5% of it actually made it into the show.Kitchen Confidential by Anthony BourdainFor those planning a little post-virus travel: 1000 Places to Visit in the U.S. and Canada Before You Die. I am a big fan of Paperback Swap to get books.
Never heard of this before but looks really intriguing. Legit service I assume. Quick explanation on how it works?
I have been doing Paperback Swap for years. If you are willing to wait for the books you want to read, it's great.You sign up and add all of the books you are willing to trade by entering the ISBN number. When someone requests one of your books, you mail it and pay the postage, but then you get a credit to get a book from someone else, who will mail it to you for free. I believe they give you two credits to start out with when you sign up.
So its like the reserve shelf at the the library, but you pay for it?How's the selection?
I guess it depends on what you want.Take a look for yourselfhttps://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php
I was hoping you could transfer my goodreads "to read" list, you know, retirement and stuff.
