Finally, a thinking person's guide to economics & politics.This book, while a bit long at 400 pages, is brilliant. Not only is it humorous (I laughed out loud in multiple places), it also gives a survey of history, economics, and politics that is insightful, scathingly accurate, and packed with wisdom. I wish more people would read this book so they would know what's actually going on in the U.S. and the world at large. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log

A good fantasy story.This book is a fantasy and must be read with this in mind. As a Christian I felt a lot of it related to the story in the Bible of the good and evil of mankind and the struggle with demonic forces on the earth. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log

Why must I cry at the end of every good story?Maybe it's like a lot of stories I hear from Sonlight families who say that their kids cry when a book is done because they don't want it to be over. This book was like that. I enjoyed the struggles of the characters so much that I could have kept on reading. I was sorry it was over. That says a lot.

Only read this if you REALLY want to know about the Hell's AngelsParts of this book really disturbed me. It's a pretty old book and I'd love to read one written today to see how the Hell's Angels might have changed since the '60's. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log

A German's Perspective on World War IHave you ever wondered what WWI was like from the Germans' perspective? Then you'll want to read this book. It is brilliant and devastating all at once. I fell in love with the characters and genuinely felt sorry for them. I doubt nations would be so eager to go to war if they spent time studying history and reading war fiction.

Internet Business ExplainedDespite being a collection of blog posts, this book is amazing. It is packed with useful how-to information. Not theory, but actual techniques that have been tested and proven to work. I also love Brausch's advice for living. It's very solid, very down-to-earth.

They Call This Good Writing?This book was okay. I expected something different. There is a lot of proselytizing, specifically for the Catholic faith. More disturbing, the main thrust of the book is to promote the virgin Mary as a god equal in stature to Jesus. In one place, Coelho suggests Mary is a part of the Trinity. Anyway, I don't consider this good fiction. It's a religious message disguised as fiction. Permalink | Book Info | Book Reviews | Buy Book | Update My Log

Better Than I RememberedDickens is a better writer than I remember. I really enjoyed the language and the style. And the story is great. I cried more than once while reading of the visions the Ghosts reveal to Scrooge. A good reminder of the true spirit of Christmas--not of receiving, but of giving.

How Choice Affects HappinessFor all the freedom of choice in our society, are we getting happier? Surprisingly, the answer is no. Schwartz explains why more choice means less happiness, and what to do about it. Voluntarily placing limits on our choices, practicing gratitude, and making decisions non-reversible are ways to fight this overabundance of choice.

Fundamentals of AdvertisingI have read this book (Scientific Advertising) three times. I believe it's the best book ever written on the subject of advertising and copywriting. The principles contained within have stood the test of time for more than 70 years. Case studies of classic products bring the principles to life.
