A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat - Lazy and Stupid

Review:I used to really like Dennis Leary. His “No Cure for Cancer” album was something that I listened to a lot, and could recite the routines and sing the songs by heart. I was maybe a little young to be listening to it, so it had this illicit air about it. Leary was unapologetically who he was, and no one could take that from him. I wanted to be just like that!

But that was the 90s. Maybe it was a backlash to the perceived PC movement or something, but what worked for him on that album is car... Read more

Review:Though appearing to be dated, there is gold in what he says even in 2014; I just discovered it. No matter the era, I believe people still respond to the art of well written and laid out advertising material in written form. To qualify, he wrote the most successful auto sales copy of all times for Rolls-Royce's in the 50's during hard times.

How You Can Profit by Knowing Them - Games Criminals Play

Review:This is a good book for anyone thinking of working in jails or prisons. After reading the book, I have decided it takes a very special person to work in the Corrections Department and it is not me, especially after the first chapter, it is defiantly not me. This book is quite the eye opener, working with inmates isn't what I thought it would be. Book explains the games prisoners play, their mindsets, how the set people up, the manipulation and their enjoyment to do so. This is are really goo... Read more

The Rules Do Not Apply: A Memoir
The Rules Do Not Apply: A Memoir

Review:Well-written and intense but so intimate - as if you’ve somehow always known Ariel. It’s a love letter to life that - like many great love stories - dances round and ultimately ends in the land of “what could have been.” I hung on nearly every word, highlighted passage after beautiful passage and wanted to weep with the raw realness of it all. Bravo for one of the most authentic memoirs I’ve read in a long time. Read more

The Unforgettable Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers

Review:Reading about 9/11 again brings back all that anxiety from that day. To learn that the firefighters and police force were ill equipped and fighting just makes it worse. I sincerely hope all forces across the country have learned from this fateful experience and will work together. It's heartbreaking to read about these hero's trying to do their job with one hand tied behind their backs! Read more
