Bettyville: A Memoir
Bettyville: A Memoir

Review:I cannot add anything that has not already been said about the wonders of this story and the joy of reading it, but I wanted to add my 2 cents and 5 stars anyway. I am nearly finished but wish I had longer with George & Betty. I have found it both funny and tender. I have cried a few times when I was moved by the tenderness of it or at the ache of things not said (or, SAID). It's such a touching story, so richly told. So very grateful to George Hodgman for writing this. I have never wri... Read more

and Resilience - Beauty in the Broken Places - A Memoir of Love

Review:I LOVED this book. It was a beautiful (and terrifying at the same time) story. Allison Pataki is an excellent writer and easy to read. I find her descriptions put me right in her place and I can feel her feelings. I have read one of her historical fiction books and plan to read more - even though that is not my favorite genre. I would be very interested in reading a sequel to this book. I want to know more as things continue to unfold for her family in the future. Read more

The Story of My Experiments With Truth - An Autobiography
The Story of My Experiments With Truth - An Autobiography

Review:A well written book with facts and opinions explained in context of situation. This book made me re-think of a lot of ideas I earlier has about Gandhi. Though, I do not agree with many of his experiments, he does make one believe that his motive after every one of them was finding the truth of things. The universality of compassion towards all beings is infectious. Read more

Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage
Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage

Review:_The Cuckoo's Egg_ has everything most fictional detective novels wish that they had: a personable detective who does not mean to get involved as deeply as he does, federal agencies who cannot seem to take action, and a criminal mastermind who has everybody stumped until he encounters our detective. The best part of this whole book is that it really happened-- a feat that fictional mysteries can never match.

I knew Stoll's work through the more technical article "Stalking the Wily Hacker"... Read more

and the Dawn of a New America - the Groveland Boys

Review:Excellent book. Had to put it aside a couple times reading it, the injustice made me so mad. This book is a good antidote to this who think blacks had it good in the old South. Jim Crow was tyranny pure and simple and this book depicts it well. Marshall and the NAACP lawyers really were heroes but they weren't miracle workers and the good guys mostly lost as we see in the book. Read more

C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God - and the Meaning of Life

Review:Price. Prompt service and a good product as described. It was chosen for my Methodist Church Library bought from its memorial/honorarium fund to celebrate the 138 years of the Church-wide program to start a University in each of the 48 states. A further thanks to Amazon for their part. R.D. Messer, M.D. Retired. Read more
