Making It So

I always love an audio book being narrated by its author. Especially when it comes to memoirs. I enjoyed listening to Sir Patrick tell about his life. What I like the most about memoirs is finding the human experience in them. No matter how big a star the person is, or how important an office they held, they are also just a human. A human with the same hopes and dreams, fears and insecurities, wins and failures, struggles and successes, as you and I. Listening to all the ones experienced by Patrick Stewart was never boring for me. I didn't know a lot about the man, so all the stories he told I listened to with interest, I was happy for him, and sad, anxious too, I laughed, and shed some tears. A good book does that.
