Recommended Audio Book of the Day ....
The Men Who Stare at Goats
by Jon Ronson (Author), Sean Mangan (Narrator)
"Just when you thought every possible conspiracy theory had been exhausted by The X-Files or The Da Vinci Code, along comes The Men Who Stare at Goats. The first line of the book is, "This is a true story." True or not, it is quite astonishing.
Author Jon Ronson writes a column about family life for London's Guardian newspaper and has made several acclaimed documentaries. The Men Who Stare at Goats is his bizarre quest into "the most whacked-out corners of George W. Bush's War on Terror," as he puts it. Ronson is inspired when a man who claims to be a former U.S. military psychic spy tells the journalist he has been reactivated following the 9-11 attack. Ronson decides to investigate.
His research leads him to the U.S. Army's strange forays into extra-sensory perception and telepathy, which apparently included efforts to kill barnyard animals with nothing more than thought. Ronson meets one ex-Army employee who claims to have killed a goat and his pet hamster by staring at them for prolonged periods of time. Like Ronson's original source, this man also says he has been reactivated for deployment to the Middle East.
Ronson's finely written book strikes a perfect balance between curiosity, incredulity, and humor. His characters are each more bizarre than the last, and Ronson does a wonderful job of depicting the colorful quirks they reveal in their often-comical meetings. Through a charming guile, he manages to elicit many strange and amazing revelations. Ronson meets a general who is frustrated in his frequent attempts to walk through walls.
One source says the U.S. military has deployed psychic assassins to the Middle East to hunt down Al Qaeda suspects. Entertaining and disturbing." --Alex Roslin
My comment - Absolutely jaw dropping and unnerving account of an attempt to blend the New Age movement with the army. I don't know if it true or not either (the author makes it sound true and gives plenty of references) , but it sure makes for an interesting listening experience! Some of the information is horrible and upsetting. On the positive side it got me thinking about non-lethal weapons and a kinder gentler world. I want to believe that day will come.

A man went to lunch at a diner. He sat down in the booth and ordered. “I'd like a club sandwich with one piece of undercooked bacon, topped by a slice of unripe pink tomato and wilted lettuce, brown around the edges. I'd like barely any mayo on the slightly burnt toast, a pickle that is very floppy, and half of my French fries burnt to a crisp while the other half is almost frozen.”
The waitress told the man, “That might be tricky.”
To which he replied, “Why? That's exactly the way you made it for me yesterday.”

Open and Shut

Narrated by: Grover Gardner
"This is the book that starts it all. Grover is a great reader, and David's book just needs an audience. That is exactly what we've done. The whole family is gathered to listen together. What a treat!
This is the first book. Try not to listen out of order. It will help the characters develop if you listen in order."
My comment - These are very entertaining and easy to follow audio books. Grover Gardner seems particularly suited to narrate this author. There are 12 books in the series already and they evolve, so do try to listen to them in order. The theme of dog rescue adds a lot to the character of the story.
The rest of the series in order:
Open and Shut

The Stately Home Murder by Catherine Aird (Author), Robin Bailey (Narrator)
"Mystery fans will relish this delightful entry in Catherine Aird's highly esteemed classic series starring Sloan, of the Berebury Criminal Investigations Dept. in Calleshire, England, and his amiable but not very able assistant, Crosby. The two are introduced in The Religious Body, the first of 18 C.D. Sloan mysteries. Aird's work is among the very best of the British police procedural genre, particularly noteworthy for the delightful sense of humor woven throughout.
The Stately Home Murder was originally published as The Complete Steel. "
My comment - This is my favorite audio book of all time. I have listened to it many times and never tire of it. The narrator is my very favorite and I adore Catherine Aird. I have read all her books and also recommend them, both written and in audio. If I could have one book to listen to, this would be it.

A string walked into an ice cream shop, and asked for a milkshake. The server said, “I'm sorry, but we don't serve strings here.”
So the string went into the next ice cream shop, and ordered a milkshake. The server told him, “I'm sorry; sir, but we don't serve strings here.”
Getting frustrated, the string went up to an ice cream stand and ordered a milkshake. The server, once again, said, “We don't serve strings here.”
The string was getting really mad now. He was hot and tired and wanted a milkshake. He bunched up his ends and scraped them back and forth on the pavement.
So, he went back into the first ice cream shop. The server said, “Hey, aren’t you the string that was just in here?” The string looked at him and said, “No, I'm a frayed knot.”

Stealing the General: The Great Locomotive Chase and the First Medal of Honor
by Russell S. Bonds
"On April 12, 1862, twenty Union soldiers in disguise boarded a train in Georgia to execute a scheme that was meant to bring a quick end to the Civil War. The plan, devised by a quinine-smuggling Union scout and an astronomer turned general, was to steal a locomotive and drive it to Chattanooga, capturing a key railroad connection whose loss would cut the Confederacy in half. The raid might have succeeded if not for the train's conductor, who pursued the hijackers on foot "
My comment - Very well written, almost like a novel, yet it contains both facts and actual quotes from the people involved. A spotlight on an amazing moment in American history. The reader, Bronson Pinchot, does a great job, lending flavor but not over played.

Pandora's Star (The Commonwealth Saga Book 1)
by Peter F. Hamilton
"Critics have compared the engrossing space operas of Peter F. Hamilton to the classic sagas of such sf giants as Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert. But Hamilton’s bestselling fiction—powered by a fearless imagination and world-class storytelling skills—has also earned him comparison to Tolstoy and Dickens. Hugely ambitious, wildly entertaining, philosophically stimulating: the novels of Peter F. Hamilton will change the way you think about science fiction. Now, with Pandora’s Star, he begins a new multivolume adventure, one that promises to be his most mind-blowing yet. "
My comment - Very descriptive creating vivid mental imagery and very long. Haven't finished it yet but the ideas and story have my interest. Epic space adventure taking place in the future where people are either rejuvenated or cloned when they start to get old.

My comment - Very descriptive creating vivid mental imagery and very long. Haven't finished it yet but the ideas and story have my interest. Epic space adventure taking place in the future where people are either rejuvenated or cloned when they start to get old.

Recommended Audio Book of the Day ....
The Eerie Silence: Renewing Our Search for Alien Intelligence
by Paul Davies.
"Are we alone in the universe? This is surely one of the biggest questions of human existence, yet it remains frustratingly unanswered.
In this provocative book, one of the world's leading scientists explains why the search for intelligent life beyond Earth should be expanded, and how it can be done.
Fifty years ago, a young astronomer named Frank Drake first pointed a radio telescope at nearby stars in the hope of picking up a signal from an alien civilization. Thus began one of the boldest scientific projects in history, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
After a half-century of scanning the skies, however, astronomers have little to report but an eerie silence--eerie because many scientists are convinced that the universe is teeming with life. Could it be, wonders physicist and astrobiologist Paul Davies, that we've been looking in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in the wrong way?
Davies has been closely involved with SETI for three decades, and chairs the SETI Post-Detection Taskgroup, charged with deciding what to do if we're suddenly confronted with evidence of alien intelligence. He believes the search so far has fallen into an anthropocentric trap--assuming that an alien species will look, think, and behave much like us. In this mind-expanding book he refocuses the search, challenging existing ideas of what form an alien intelligence might take, how it might try to communicate with us, and how we should respond if it does.
The Eerie Silence provides a penetrating assessment of the evidence, past and present, and an exciting new road map for the future. "
My comments - This book is written intelligently about a topic that interests me. Although I would like to eavesdrop on any alien broadcasts, I am very skeptical of the wisdom of sending messages giving away our location.
My big question is: When has any civilization benefitted from contact with a more advanced civilization? I just keep thinking - what if the aliens decide we're delicious? My thought is "Shhhhh" maybe they won't find here.
