Resumen del Editor
What happens when you drop an agnostic Jewish surgeon in a century-old Catholic hospital, where the doctor meets dogma and falls for the CEO? A nun, for God’s sake.
Dr. Martin Fischer, a white-coated Quixote, tilts his scalpel at the bloated underbelly of U.S. healthcare and fights for his patients. His only weapons are surgical skill and a pesky sense of righteous indignation that’s driving everyone nuts—including Marty.
As he takes on a callous multi-billion-dollar medical corporation, a mercenary surgical group, and the thoroughly corrupt CFO of St. Salacious, an unplanned pregnancy threatens to excommunicate the entire hospital. Can they really do that? It’s either stress or God who intervenes. Did Jesus just wink at him from the cross?

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Important. Must read.
Ron Turker's debut novel is a fascinating, heartbreaking, and sometimes hilarious look into modern, for-profit hospital practice in this country, and specifically in hospitals owned and/or operated by religious organizations.
Despite possible personal mental-health struggles, the main character—Dr. Marty to his patients—and his travails—from a gut-wrenching opening through saving and losing patients as well as losing his patience—will leave you questioning how health care is delivered in this country. Marty's story is viewed through his own eyes and through the lives and actions of fully realized characters that you just know are based on real people. You will feel the joy and defeat, the anger and hope, right along with him. As we learn in the "About the Author" section, the ups and downs of these challenging situations are informed by Dr. Turker's own experiences and are related with a lot of heart and humor. (We also learn Ron got his start as a stand-up comic before following a career in medicine, and it shows.)
Ron reads his own novel, a treat we don't often get in fiction, so the emphasis is exactly as the author intended.
Whether hardcopy, ebook, or audio, this timely and important novel is something everyone should be reading/listening to right now.
