Journey To The End Of The Night

Louis-Ferdinand Celine | 2012 | Contemporary, Fiction & Poetry

(0 Ratings)

Book Favorite

"I listened to Love, Lucy on audio, read by Lucille Ball’s daughter Lucie Arnaz. Lucille Ball was a trailblazer and one of the women that has inspired me most in my career. Hearing her daughter narrate her mom’s autobiography was special."

"In his autobiography, Walmart’s founder expounds on the principles of discount retailing and discusses his core values of frugality and a bias for action—a willingness to try a lot of things and make many mistakes. Bezos included both in Amazon’s corporate values."
