150 Books I have consumed in 4 years

So...Alan Stein and another individual asked me what books I have in my audio library. I made a list of those that I found good enough to finish below. They all have their positives and negatives, so I won't make recommendations except to say, they were worth the time and I learned from all of them. If you have a specific one you are interested in or want to commiserate about, maybe I can comment on that. This is about 150 of the 236 I have consumed since 2020 and the 10 I now have waiting for time. About 10% of the 246 I abandoned halfway or further into them. Those are not listed. I abandoned them mainly because they just couldn't hold my attention or were overtly political and not factual in psychology. I wrote the list as an article because posts don't allow enough space. I hope you enjoy.
