Far and Near

On Days Like These

By: Neil Peart

Narrated by: Brian Sutherland

Whether navigating the backroads of Louisiana or Thuringia, exploring the snowy Quebec woods, or performing onstage at Rush concerts, Neil Peart has stories to tell. His first volume in this series, Far and Away, combined words and images to form an intimate, insightful narrative that won many fans. Now Far and Near brings together reflections from another three years of an artist's life as he celebrates seasons, landscapes, and characters; travels roads and trails; receives honors; climbs mountains; and composes and performs music. With passionate insight, wry humor, and an adventurous spirit, once again Peart offers a collection of open letters that take listeners on the road, behind the scenes, and into the inner workings of an ever-inquisitive mind. These popular stories, originally posted on Peart's website, are now collected and contextualized with an introduction and conclusion.

Why did I wait so Long?

Neil was tremendous talent and I should have known that his writing skills were no less terrific. For some reason I never felt compelled to read his books. Not really into travel logs. But now I wished I had and I'm glad I finally did. Fortunately he left these experiences and thoughts for all time. A lifelong fan of the band, As he details his travels between the shows, I can recall where I was as he was on his way to and from a show that I attended. In a small way I'm part of these journeys. There is a lot here to enjoy even if you don't know who he was, The writing and the story telling is great. I'm glad I have more of his books to look forward to.

Entertaining but need pictures!

As expensive as audiobooks are you would think that you would get a companion eBook with pictures for free. The entire book refers to photographs which you can't see if you do not pay $13.00 for the companion book. If it wasn't for how enjoyable the narrator was I'd just get the print version.

Smooth Flowing. Very similar to Far and Away

The story flowed smoothly and once again Brian Sutherland did a excellent job.

Although, if you've read/listened to Far and Away you can expect almost the same story being told.

Ghost Rider is still the best.

Another classic

Neil Peart once again delights us with tales from the road and home....his command of the English language and his ability to spin a yarn are epic!😄
