The Future of Truth (Werner Herzog)

in response to Librairie

Controversial: I’m compiling a list of books that are better in audiobook version versus physical book form. Examples: Kitchen Confidential, Nora Ephron essay collections, Britney’s memoir. Let it rip.

A series of essays by Herzog ranging from Ancient Rome to baroque Opera to AI. Funny (if you like his brand of dry absurd humor) and at points profound, hearing them in his unmistakable timbre instills the storytelling with a comforting sense of intimacy. I deeply enjoyed this book.

YES ok so, I stock this in my bookshop, and the best part is when customers hold it up to each other and start speaking in his accent. It happens at least once per day.
