A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Historia
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Where is the book?
Would you try another book from Harper Lee and/or the narrators?
I would love to buy the actual audiobook by Harper Lee with almost any narrator. Unfortunately the novel itself is not available through Audible.
What was most disappointing about Harper Lee’s story?
It was a speech about the novel
What three words best describe the narrators’s performance?
Live, celebratory, and a nice tribute.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It had many redeeming qualities as a tribute to Harper Lee and the book, but it is important to read the novel itself before listening to a tribute to its author.
Any additional comments?

A bitter but necessary pill to swallow
A classic story of good and evil and the elephant in the room. Why can't we name the sin that has no name? Why don't we see that the emperor's new clothes leave him naked?
In movie form it was a classic. In print or voice it reads thicker and more fragrant. I can feel the pulse of the words that issue from the characters, the meaning, the regret.
This for me was a significant impetus to involve myself in some form in the civil rights movement of the 60's. I knew that the elephant exposed in the South would lead to the elephant exposed elsewhere.

smug
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I found much of this to be kind of annoying. A group of liberal writers making a treasured classic into a 21 century political slog. Many were pretentious but I did enjoy the readings of the story itself. Only wish I could have heard the book in its entirety, but it is still as of yet unavailable.

Best Book Panel
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes! It is such an interesting cast of people discussing and celebrating 50th anniv of To Kill A Mockingbird.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Thalia Book Club: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Celebration?
How it influenced the panel the first time they read it and a more recent re-read.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
Steven Colbert was really very intelligent and emotional. He was not silly at all. It was a pleasant surprise.The other's are not so famous to me, but they ALL were wonderful.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Not a good film.
Any additional comments?
The live audience Q&A was poor audio quality and was a waste of time.

Enlightening Discussion of The Classic
Well, it's not a book. It's about a book. Nice readings and good discussion. The questions aren't always audible, though. Stephen was great. Wanted more of him!
Thanks for this pleasant discussion.

Dead Microphones Ugh!
What did you like best about Thalia Book Club: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Celebration? What did you like least?
Liked the discussion of the differences, reading for the first time as a child and then rereading later.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The discussions and the casual conversation among the panel members was quite intersting. A wider variety within the panel might have made it even better.
What didn’t you like about the narrators’s performance?
Absolutely frustrating that the audience, for the most part, could not be heard. AND no one summarized the questions before answering or commenting on them. Often didn't answer them. For a "professional" production this seems unforgivable.
Do you think Thalia Book Club: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Celebration needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
NO.
Any additional comments?
Disappointed.......mostly by the audience participation being impossible to hear.

Program Type: Speech, isn't misleading
Not sure why this received negative reviews from those who were looking and thinking they purchased the audiobook.....the program type clearly states it's a Speech, as most symphonyspace productions are. And the summary describes it as follows: The evening includes readings, discussion and audience Q&A. Performance playlist: Readings and conversation with Kurt Andersen, Libba Bray, Stephen Colbert, Oskar Eustis, Mary McDonagh Murphy, Jayne Anne Phillips, and Isaiah Sheffer, a discussion with the audience. We used this with a class studying Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird and found it very informative.

Just didn’t enjoy that much
Some people on the panel seemed kind of full of themselves in that they didn’t seem like they wanted to listen to the people in the audience. Also-was it too much to ask one of them to walk over to those people with a microphone?
