Barracoon
I listened to the audio version while reading the printed book. This helped with pronunciation and accent of the reader, making it even more educational. I enjoyed learning but it was such a tragedy on so many levels what was done to so many peo...

Hillbilly Elegy
I listened to the audiobook. I liked hearing the author read it with the emotion he felt as he wrote it.
