The Art of Power by Nancy Pelosi
The first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative
role in our nation, passing laws that save lives and livelihoods, tells the
story of her transformation from housewife to House Speaker, becoming a
prophetic voice on the major moral issues of the day who's not afraid of a good
fight.
I found it to be very informative and interesting. - KM

Alfred Lansing
Describes how polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's ship became
immobilized in ice for ten months on his 1914 expedition to Antarctica,
resulting in an 850-mile journey back to civilization with only a skeleton crew

Incredibly tedious, but fascinating and enjoyable. - CD 4 stars
