First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo sprang from the pages of FIRST BLOOD to take his place in the American cultural landscape. This remarkable novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesn't know whom he's dealing with - or how far Rambo will take him into a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky.

So much more depth than than the movie. A Spendid study of man's struggle with his Ego. At any point, either of the protagonists could have ended the destructive behaviors thier Pride leads them to commit. The story ages very well, for being written in the early 70's. The Narator is easy to listen to.

He opens with a very funny drunk joke that I was surprised that I hadn't heard. Clarence tells his own story, his drinking and how he came in contact with his sponsor Dr. Bob. He talks about his early sobriety some of which qualifies as AA history. How the Cleveland contingent of the Akron Oxford Group broke away because of its many Catholic members and the need for a group made up solely of alcoholics and their families.

Good, but not great version.
After the movie was released the original audio book version vanished.
This is still well worth a listen.
Douglas Adams was such a fantastic wordsmith.

This is the audio track from the series.
If you've watched the show so often you see each scene in your mind's eye and can recite the dialog, you'll love this.
If you haven't seen the TV series, watch it first. You don't know what your missing.
Seasons 2 through 4 are British sitcom at its best.

Adam had a fine life. He had all the food he wanted, a fine garden to live in, and miles and miles of peace and quiet. Until one day, a woman entered his life. And amongst her other garrulous qualities, she says that his beautiful garden doesn't really look like a garden at all. She thinks it looks more like a park.

BJ Harrison does a fine job. Cilla Harrison, not so much.
The 2 diaries are not interwoven as I'd hoped. And Cilla's reading sounded just that, like reading. No emotion or inflection.
Seemed more like father ~ daughter than husband ~ wife.

Award-winning narrator and AudioFile Golden Voice Simon Jones revives the classic pairing of Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves in this dazzling new recording of Right Ho, Jeeves. Straight from his role in the eagerly anticipated Downton Abbey movie, Simon brings the charming, wacky world of everyone’s favorite bumbling aristocrat, Bertie Wooster, and his brilliant, long-suffering manservant, Jeeves, to sparkling new life.

Penniless and downtrodden at the loss of his wife and one of his daughters, Samuel Clemens turned to writing. The short stories and essays in Letters from the Earth find Clemens—under the pseudonym of Mark Twain—at perhaps his most quizzical and questioning state ever. Written as diary entries, Twain penned a series of letters from the point of view of a dejected angel on Earth who observes the many curious natures of man. These pieces, gathered by Twain's literary executor, feature sharp takes on the inconsistencies of Christianity and farcical criticisms of American life.

A Beloved Banned Book

A must listen.
What else is there to say ?
Written when Samuel Clemens was so disillusioned with so called "civilized" human behavior and our belief in a "Loving" Creator who was obviously just as flawed as our unquestioning faith in Him.
Surely Blasphemous at the time of his death.
Unfortunately, just as poignant today. Showing that the more we advance as a species, the more the we stay the same.
Wonderfully read.

Collected here are eleven of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster short stories (comprising all of the Jeeves tales from "Carry On, Jeeves" and "My Man Jeeves") as well as the complete novels Right Ho, Jeeves and The Inimitable Jeeves. Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Tuppy and Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd, and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.

Can't believe that I wasted a credit on this collection. I should have definitely sampled it first. My only issue, and it's a big one, is the Narrator. Absolute Rubbish !!! Stick with the Jonathan Cecil series, and you'll be much happier.

All the zany Wodehouse characters are here: Bertie, Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, and Aunt Dahlia. All the humorous chaos of misunderstandings, puns, and pranks are present: someone must hand out prizes at the Market Snodsbury Grammar School, a lovers' spat finds Bertie engaged to Madeline, and a hunger strike causes the cook to give notice. The inevitable rescue by Jeeves, brilliantly conceived and executed, averts disaster and saves nitwit Bertie Wooster.

Witty Wodehouses�s best-loved creation is the master-servant team of Bertie Wooster, the charming nitwit, and Jeeves, his effortlessly superior valet and protector. Newsweek says "they are at their best in The Code of the Woosters." Newsweek says "they are at their best in The Code of the Woosters."
