Common sense in the 21st Century.This thin book is packed with common sense about politics and freedom. And although I knew most of the positions Ron Paul supports and the evidence for them, I still learned some new things. My favorite quote from the entire book: "Truth is treason in the empire of lies." Oh man, that's a zinger. And it describes our current political environment perfectly. My only criticism of the book is minor: He brings up the issue of 9/11 briefly, but speaks as if terrorists were solely responsible for it.

Wanting to grow up... and recapture youth.Very enjoyable, full of surprises. I love how children's literature is so full of imagination--I find it more relaxing than adult fiction. Anyway, this book is set in Venice, Italy. A bunch of young children (orphans and runaways) try to survive in an old theater. Really, it's a story about wanting to grow up too quickly, on the one hand... and recapture youth, on the other. Overall, an excellent book.

Eagle's CryIt was interesting to see personalities put to the early figures of the US. I mostly enjoyed the book, but wondered how credible the personalities really were. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log

Best War BookAn amazing war story. It captures both the horrors of war and the bonds that are formed by those who fight it. Told from the viewpoint of a German soldier, it also presents a universal experience of war, no matter which side you're on. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log

My Favorite BookThis book has it all. Love, an odyssey, death, and a glimpse of heaven. The plot is riviting and the characters unforgettable. There is even a story withing a story. After I read this book, I had my daughters read it. Even the one who is not an enthusiastic reader loved it. I can't wait to read Enger's long awaited second novel that has just come out.

It's amazing how simple letters can be so compelling.This book is a compilation of letters written by the Wright brothers to each other, business partners, family and friends. It seems like it would be dry but it wasn't. I found it fascinating. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log
