Hang in there George, it is very much worth every page and to the very end.

I'm surprised at how much I'm liking this book - particularly the audio version as there are live recordings. He does a real number on corruption in Miami. It's definitely worth a read.

I read this years ago. Now that the 2nd season of the show has begun, I thought I'd revisit it.
I love the way MacIntyre writes.

By the way, I just discovered that Amazon Prime has a documentary (3 parts) called "SAS Rogue Warriors." MacIntyre narrates and there are interviews with the actual members of the original SAS team.

Finished the book. He does segments on the Covid and opioid crisis along with some discussion of education, college admissions and diversity. It was a bit like his podcast. Overall, a decent and worthwhile book though I thought there would be more there.

Started reading William Shirer's Ghandi, A Memoir. Shirer was in India back in 1931 - aged around 27. Ghandi was 61. Shirer was the only American journalist there at the time covering Ghandi. So far, a good read. He got to spend some personal time with Ghandi. He said that Ghandi walked about 4 miles a day - at a pace that was challenging to Shirer.

A lifetime friend of mine who was a flight attendant wrote this. Reading it now.

Just finished this yesterday. I highly recommend if you are interested in the city of New Orleans. Wonderful book.

@Mik how was the airline book?
It's good so far. I'm only a few pages in. What is really great is I recognize his voice in it.

I belong to a University Club and we have monthly books we read and then discuss--this book is in the "classic" area. We also have reading groups for modern fiction, historical fiction and non-fiction and maybe other things too. It introduces me to books I normally would not think of reading for myself.
Following the dialogue in this book is more difficult than reading Chaucer.
