"I am listening to the audiobook narrated by Abraham Verghese, and am delighted with the narration. He does all the accents so beautifully. The imagery, the language, the immersion into the worlds his characters inhabit… I am loving every minute of this extraordinary story." — Jan 07, 2024 06:10PM

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.
