Review:I'm really thankful Eric took the time to write this book. It reminds us all of the work and sacrifice it took to keep us safe and free and to be thankful we were born in this country. God bless Eric and God bless America.

Review:Ijeoma’s book on race is essential reading for anyone who wanted to call out their racist uncle at Thanksgiving but felt unsure of what to say. It’s both a practical guide to being anti-racist and a primer on the history and dynamics of systemic racism in America. It’s also a fast, accessible read, and incredibly well written like all of her work. Read more

Review:I wanted to love this. I love Connelly's Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer series but this was so poorly edited it was unreadable beyond the engaging introduction
.
By reprinting multiple articles on the same case he was repeating the same facts over and over. There's a good story to be told in the background of his novels - some of which I recognized - but it needs a narrative that isn't found here.

Review:This is a brilliant novel, very funny, yet tragic, very moving, and very observant.
_The Master and Margarita_ is set in Moscow, apparently in the '20s or '30s. One day a couple of literati are talking when they meet a strange man. Before long the man is laughing at there confident assertion that the Jesus and the Devil don't exist, and telling a story about Pontius Pilate and his encounter with Jesus, or Yeshua, and also predicting the death of one of the two men. When the death occurs, t... Read more

Review:Douglas Hofstadter is an exceptionally bright and witty man, with a gift for analogy. This no doubt makes him entertaining company and a pleasure to have as a teacher, but at the same time it sometimes gets in the way of the message he's trying to convey- the allegories and metaphors become the dominant message, and the core gets lost in translation.

This is of course exactly what happened with Hofstadter's 1979 tour-de-force "Godel, Escher and Bach"; it was roundly praised to the heavens... Read more

Review:A number of people may bring out a number of axiomless 'proofs' in refuting this work, which is fine; GEB:EGB treads upon feet firmly planted in the grottoes of philosophy departments. (The word "discredited" is the alarm call of these philosophers, as if fads are beautiful enough to determine truth.)
Whatever the case may be, this is a very interesting book. Take a look at it in the bookstore, then buy or order it from Amazon if you find that you like what 'interesting' can mean. Read more

Review:Campbell's examples are very difficult to get through but the brilliance of the parallels he draws can not be overlooked. As a first time writer it was very insightful and interesting. Good price too. Read more

Review:This is a condensed Campbell reader with insight for everyone in a philosophical mood. I think he's a go to guy for connecting dots between cultures and with some insights on life, stay on the rails and seek one's bliss. Read more

Review:I'd love to say this book is a good one but I can't because the illustrations overwrite the text. Whoever formatted this for ebook didn't bother to read their own work. I'll muddle through. Publishers like this are either lazy, uninformed or greedy. Read more

Review:A lot has changed for Jen Lancaster since she first started writing, and in "My Fair Lazy" she realizes that not all of it is for the better. In a world overrun with reality television, is it really acceptable to just be less stupid than those people on TV? Not so much. In her new memoir, Jen shares her antics and adventures while working to become more cultured and escaping the comfort zone into which she has fallen. It's not always sunshine and roses, but it's always witty, insightful, and... Read more
