This was amazing. By far the best audiobook I've ever read/listened to. I would HIGHLY recommend the audiobook - Ray Porter kills it. They also do such a cool thing with the audiobook that I would argue it works better here than it would as text.
This came with high recommendations from my whole family. I finally caved when my sister said it might be her favourite book of all time. I think it might be one of mine as well.
It is a sad coincidence that the day I finish my first of Didion's books, only a few days after discovering what a master of prose she is, is the day she dies. Joan was amazing in this. It's sad I will never be able to read something ‘new' by her but comforting that I have her whole catalogue still to go through. Rest in Peace Joan.
I listened to the audiobook of Pale Blue Dot. The book was great, for as long as Carl Sagan read it, but his audiofiles have been corrupted and lost. A couple hours into the book Ann Druyan takes over - who has a real passion for the content but has no business reading audiobooks. It was pretty brutal to listen to.
