‘Project Hail Mary’ by Andy Weir***
With Andy Weir, you’re always going to get a great story, and then a little bit of science. This book has a great sense of humor. It starts with someone who is a survivor in a spacecraft who doesn’t remember anything. Then there are many characters involved in the tale. Ray Porter, who narrates the book, gets to play and have fun with a great text with a sense of humor.
‘A Promised Land’ by Barack Obama****
Barack Obama is a fantastic narrator. It is wonderful to hear his words about his life: as a young person with Michelle, all the things that he’s dealing with as president. But it is 29 hours, so lot of listening has to be done.
The Storyteller: Tales of life and Music by Dave Grohl****
Dave Grohl is part of the band Foo Fighters. People really expected a lost of stuff about his life. He talks about his career and the whole space. It’s less intimate than some autobiographies are. It’s more of a memoir than life tips.
The Sweetness of water by Nathan Harris and William DeMeritt***
It is a historical novel that has been longlisted for Booker Prize. It’s about late Civil war-era Georgia, dealing with lots of theme. William DeMeritt is just so fantastic narrator. It’s about two brothers who have been emancipated and are coming to work on a farm with another family. It is lot about family relationships and there is a lot of interpersonal stuff within the historical fiction.
All the Lonely People by Mike Gayle and Ben Onwukwe*****
The book has been read by Ben Onwukwe. The story is about an older man, he’s a widower. He’s kind of making up his life when he talks to his daughter. So that doesn’t imply that he is lonely, but it turns out that he is lonely. But he starts to get to know his neighbors and becomes involved in a community. It’s just a really warm story. It was kind of hopeful in the pandemic. The narration is well done and has made it a fun experience.
