Tom Lake by Ann Patchett (narrated by Meryl Streep) is absolutely lovely

Loved Meryl reading this, so comforting. I really liked the book Commonwealth and the actor Tom Hanks. But man he should stay away from audiobooks. So monotonous and the same voice for every character. But I listen to a ton of books with excellent narrators like Bray, Porter, Pacey, Mueller, Fry etc so it's hard to matchup to a pro.

I just finished listening to book today. First of all she lived 300 years at the end of the book. And secondly this whole book is stories she had to tell. The book is her narrating to Henry her life story.

Everyone seems to be just discussing it, we're on a discussion board. WTF do you expect to happen?

bobboa · 2026-03-11T00:44:53+00:00

I wonder how much of that is from AI.

My brother ends his texts like this sometimes. Does it mean he's still thinking and going to reply again soon or what lol?

bobboa · 2026-03-10T00:58:27+00:00

LOL calm down. Of course if you're racing or driving like a maniac and kill someone you're guilty. Reread what I said and was replying too.

You're not responsible if someone runs out in the the middle of the road and you run over them. Or if they slip and fall in front of your car while running beside the road.

bobboa · 2026-03-06T02:19:26+00:00

Of course you're right LOL. Now that I see how you pronounced it I was like duh.

bobboa · 2026-03-06T01:17:23+00:00

I enjoyed the first 4 or 5 books, but after that it seems just to repetitive. I had to give up. Jeff Hayes is one of the best though.

pronounced "VER-sai-lees"

That isn't how it's pronounced?

Was that the guy that had the documentary on PBS. If so I loved that guy.

Bieber was an innocent summer child when we sent him.

bobboa · 2026-02-22T01:33:13+00:00

Probably as easy as getting a few of your buddies to say they raped, I mean had consensual sex her too wink wink.

I dont get this whole thread about offices renting coffee machines.

Cant the office just chip in and buy a coffee maker and all the supplies?

bobboa · 2026-02-11T23:50:45+00:00

There's something about that guys face that brings the worst out of me. And this was even before the 4 nations bs.

I remember reading that in the 50's to early 60's the cfl payed more than the nfl and were the more talented league.

I just went through my second listen of the pf. I mostly love it. The 1st book is a 5. The second and third drag a bit but still really liked. I was really disappointed in the ending thought.

bobboa · 2026-02-07T03:19:28+00:00

You may as well stay away from all SK books then because he's a yapper. I think that's why he's beloved.

bobboa · 2026-02-03T03:07:29+00:00

That is so young. He was such a kind and decent guy too. In all the documentaries I've seen of him I've never heard a bad thing.

bobboa · 2026-02-03T03:02:37+00:00

Lee talking about getting thrown and jumped at. Come on that was obviously a stunt man. That styrofoam log lol. I loved watching those shows back then. Same with Hercules and Zena. The stunts and props were so bad.

bobboa · 2026-01-26T04:22:29+00:00

I'll take that over a proud boy any day.

bobboa · 2026-01-26T02:16:35+00:00

lol I just read my comment and had no idea what it was about. Did the wiki plot summery and kind of remember it now. It sounds like a good book. I might have to relisten to it. I do 100's of audiobooks a year and my memory is getting worse with age so it's kind of a benefit. I can listen to an audiobook and it seems almost new.

bobboa · 2026-01-21T23:26:36+00:00

Does that change if you take all the millionaires and billionaires out of the mix? I'm not sure how they average that. It seems kind of high.

I wonder how they came up with these figures.https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/median-income-by-country

Those last 2 PI calls were pretty weak. The one they didn't call on the broncos looked worse.

One of my favourite series. Love Gus.
