In Memoriam Diana Athill & Russell Baker
On January 23 of the new year, the renowned editor Diana Athill died at the age of 102. Two days earlier, the acclaimed New York Times columnist Russell Baker passed away at 93. While Athill came to prominence as an author in her own right with the 2000 publication of her memoir Stet: An Editors Life, its her earlier and less well-known work of reminiscence, Instead of a Letter , that I especially treasure. What follow are tributes to both that book and Bakers 1982 autobiography, Growing Up, adapted from my book 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die.
Mp3 Audiobook Player + Youtube
How to download audiobooks from Youtube for free on the your iPhone & iPad.
Loved the free version so much, I upgraded to the Pro version. Love how it can play numerous formats. Easy to use, and navigate. Hope in a future update they include the ability to autoplay the next book after the previous one ended. Not all files are always a book, so in those cases this would be perfect, as some files are per chapter from some online sources.
This is the only audiobook player I’ve found that can speed books up and still keep the sound quality very good. It sounds as good as Overcast but makes it easy to import books .
The app allows a lot of freedom as far as organization and playback speed. Sleep timer is adjustable and combining books into series folders is simple. Equalizer helps to adjust pitch when playing at high speeds and helps reduces feedback with poor quality recordings. App never crashes and I dont have any complaints.
Great app at last I can bookmark audiobooks. Once you have familiarised yourself with the app it works a treat. Just remember to click on the iPhone icon in the top bar not on the right hand side bar. Then in the summary file sharing then select the app and add the audio book from windows explorer not iTunes.

The Detours Of Disappointed Love
There are many pleasures to be found inthe pages of a memoir: the achievements of the author, if they be splendid his or her sophistication, intellect, or humor the insight that comes from sharing one persons perspective on a particular time or place. What is rarer, and what one gets from Athills Instead of a Letter, is the alternately uncomfortable and exhilarating revelation of anothers experience in all its day-by-day, year-to-year uncertainty.
Beginning with an evocation of her grandmothers last days, Athills narrative unfolds within the worrying embrace of that matriarchs memory: What have I lived for? the dying woman asks the young Diana. Asking the same question of herself in these pages, the author answers with startling alertness to the equivocations of emotion and intention that shape the weather of our waking hours. Beautifully honest in its self-portrait, Instead of a Letter captures, with paradoxical exactitude, the tentative aura every pilgrim bears on her progress toward maturity.
A Satirist Comes Of Age
In 1979, Russell Baker won the Pulitzer Prize for his Times Observer column three years later he won another for his autobiographical book, Growing Up. As its title suggests, it focuses on his childhood during Depression-era years spent in Virginia, New Jersey, and Baltimore, under the watchful influence of his mother . Lucy Elizabeth was
a formidable woman. Determined to speak her mind, determined to have her way, determined to bend those who opposed her. In that time when I had known her best, my mother had hurled herself at life with chin thrust forward, eyes blazing, and an energy that made her seem always on the run.
She couldnt stand a quitter and wouldnt be one, even when her husbands death meant giving up one of her children to the care of relatives.
She was determined that her son Russell would make something of himself, as indeed he did through every stage of his distinguished career as a writer, which reached a culmination of sorts in Growing Up. In his apprenticeship as a newspaper reporter, he learned how to find a story and tell it in his heyday as a satirist, he perfected the ability to illuminate the private and public vanities of the tumultuous times in which he lived as a memoirist, he added a new dimension to his already considerable skill set. Its best called wisdom, and it makes this generous remembrance of things past a delight from start to finish.
