Confessions of an Economic Hit Man 638 reviews John Perkins
Blackstone Audiobooks, 2005
Very thought provoking.
+ An Eye Opener
I enjoyed the way the author tied details of modern history to the events of his life. Very thought provoking. I think it is striking the way the individuals who critique it for a lack of statistics provide none of their own.

My Dream Of You 83 reviews Nuala O'Faolain
Simon & Schuster Audio, 2001
A Wonderfully Grand Read!!
+ Blazing talent, wonderful writing!
If you like Dickensian characters, brilliant writing, smart and sympathetic situations, etc., visiting other countries via reading, this is a must read. It, along with Pat Conroy's literature, is one of my all time favorites. It's an absolute keeper -- there are not enough stars to rate this book ...

All Over Creation 30 reviews Ruth L. Ozeki
Blackstone Audiobooks, 2003
All Over Creation
+ The Best Fiction I've Read in a While
Ruth Ozeki is a wonderful writer and environmentalist. This story is as good as "My Year of Meats," or better. I could not stop reading till the last page.
