The first audiobook I’m adding to the list, and damn it I EARNED all 29 hours of A Promised Land. This book is long and somehow only covers about 90% of the first term of Obama’s presidency. He’s such an eloquent writer and mixing this with his extreme candor provides a humanized view of what it was like to be the most important man in the world during the late 2000s to early 2010s. I like this one much more than Dreams From My Father, partially because I remember living through the events in the book, making it seem more real. The ending was abrupt, and there clearly will be a sequel dealing with term two, Donald Trump, and more. If you’ve got plenty of time on your hands, go tackle A Promised Land.
