The Brothers Karamazov: Classic Collection
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008
Outstanding
I must admit that when I first began listening to this audiobook I did not care for the narrator's voice. After I made it to the second disk I began to more fully realize what a talented voice actor he actually was, and the remaining 28 disks or so were a great joy. ...

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War (P.I.G. Series)
Crocker III, H.W.
Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008
Way to go Harry
Until this book, I thought perhaps Harry Crocker died. He disappeared from LMM soon after publishing Triumph.
This book, along with Puritan's Empire, should go a long way towards undermining the PC Orthodoxy.
Nevertheless, it's troubling how some reviewers with ...

I do not want to tell much of the story, as the unfolding is part of the intrigue. However now that houses are fire proof the purpose of firemen is performing a service by burning books to maintain the happy social order.
Naturally one fireman goes awry after ...

Audio Pleasure
We all know that C.S.Lewis wrote the incredible Mere Christianity as a follow-on to his radio talks during the War, but what an unexpected pleasure to listen to his thoughts by these two articulate narrators on this CD set (M.C. plus Abolition of Man). Great job!

Shantaram
Gregory David Roberts
Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006
This book has the power to change our planet, for the better
I have never read any novel that can at all, and in any way compare with the raw, soulwrenching, sheer power, grace, and glory of this so called "novel" Shantaram. Brothers Karamazov comes closest, but I think what Gregory Roberts has given us is a book that will in ...
