Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now (Abridged) Audiobook

" Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! "

" Liked this book by Maya Angelou. It was filled with short essays about her experiences and about women. The snippets she provided about her own life picqued my interest to the point that I might see if she has a bio or autobio out there. Update: she has 6 autobiographies. Guess I'll start with 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings'. "

" I read it often. I read it slowly as if I'm trying to memorize it. "

" Small little paperback that can be read in a two hours. I have never read anything by Maya Angelou so I decided to read it. I think she is a great writer and very introspective. I took some great notes from the book. More tailored and directed towards women. "

" Ummm..The book is basically her philosophy about life. But, there is no plot or anything, no story, and doesn't really fit with the title. I really don't get it. I liked some of the quotes. The only reason I picked it up was because it was "maya angelou" who was supposed to be a great author. Maybe she is, and I can see that she knows how to use poetic words and metaphors beautifully, but this book just did not work. I'm sorry, I just wouldn't recommend it, unless you are in some sort of philosophy class and discussing chapter by chapter what it "means' "

" I really love reading Maya Angelou. This book was a birthday present from my daughter in 1994. I was 48, she was 29. "

" I liked this book, because I respect anything Maya Angelou has to say. But my favorite parts are when she speaks of her grandmother, who I find to be a profound woman with a lot of that old time wisdom that so many women lack these days. This was enjoyable to read, I just wish it was longer. "

" This book is both nourishing and encouraging. "

" got me through the finalization of the divorce "

" Poet Laurette Maya Angelou's thoughts and wisdom. "

" Maya Angelou has offered a book full of insight and wisdom. I really enjoyed reading this book. "

" Very inspirational, for anyone who needs a reminder that trials in life are lessons we are meant to learn.... "

" This amazing collection of mini-essays (most are two-three pages long), provide tremendous wisdom and insight by a woman with a strong voice and keen sensibilities who helps to illuminate that which makes us human. "

" My first Maya book. It makes me want to read more. "

" In her wise and free form style, Maya Angelou, again, paints pictures of life with their many lessons and implications. Not one to ever let an opportunity to pass, this author is a true Teacher. "

" Beautiful. With a few words Maya Angelou speaks the truth with humility, wit and humor. "

" Easy to read in stops and starts because of the incredibly short sections that read like a combination of personal anecdotes with a moral at the end. They're less op-ed and more 'Here's what I know for sure' to take a page out of Oprah's magazine. "

" This was a very quick read with a lot of great life advice. I could hear Maya telling me these things in her wonderful voice. I highly recommend it to one and all. "

" I'm not a fan of advice books, even if it's Maya Angelou's. What kept me reading were the little stories she's slip into her rhetoric. And her beautiful writing of course. And it was a short book. "

" I thought it was insightful. "

" Shared this book w/my Aunt. Angelou's writings remind me of beautiful quilts; very poetic, bold in color, and detailed. Highly recommended read! "

" Little anecdotes and musings, stories and recollections of situations and life from the poetic Maya Angelou. I read it in one sitting during my break at a Barnes and Noble. Her writing always makes me feel less alone in this life. "

" A wonderful short book, perfect to give as graduation gifts. In a time when religion is not politically correct, Maya Angelou gives us timeless tips on living life to the fullest. Grandmotherly, encouraging and uplifting. "

" now i'm being generous. this book made me wanna DIE. "

" part of the autobiographical series, so good! "

" I love anything that she has had a hand in. "
