Review:Paul Mooney is one of my favorite comedians...so this book was a must read. I did not know what to expect, but I should have known that Paul Mooney would absolutely keep it real, keep it truthful and keep it funny. The man is awesome and the book reveals the layer below the surface. I have seen Mooney live before and witnessed his realness make a few audience members walk out. After reading the book, I now know why he does that. Not saying that I agree, but I do understand.

He discus... Read more

Review:Riley has a hot as coals man in her life named Finn who doesn't believe much she says. But what a fire they have together. Best book I've read in a while. Loved every moment, every twist and turn looking for the money. But loved the hot flying sparks between these two. Goodness if he was only real and belonged to me. Read more

Review:Great intro into the subject of Stoicism. Would recommend for novices or those who merely want to brush up on the topic with some light reading. Provides a watered down yet encompassing examination of the subject from a modern standpoint. Read more

Review:In an age in which everything is dominated by intellectual work, the smarter people are doing better than the less smart. Surprise, and it looks like genes play a HUGE ROLE in how smart one is. The Nazi's would have used these results of this study to support their efforts to breed a master race. But, let us not forget that America in the 30's was sterilizing imbeciles to stop the breeding of idiots! Smart kids are identified early, given better training, and they end up with better educatio... Read more

Review:This book is just stuffed with interesting thoughts and perspectives that are wonderful to consider and discuss. Not everyone will agree with all of them, but the ideas are well-presented and argued. Very enjoyable read. Read more

Review:Walter Benjamin has said that a critique of a work of art is about the truth of the work. A commentary is about the content of the work of art. Unfortunately almost all of these reviews of Cosmopolis are commentary reviews about its content. To fully understand-not necessarily enjoy-this book one needs to be familiar with the work of Jean Baudrillard. Read Cosmopolis through Baudrillard and it will become a shining star for you. It is brilliant, contemporary and now that Cronenberg is filming it... Read more

Review:Written based upon his real-life experience as a scullery worker in a Paris hotel and a tramp in London, George Orwell's recounting of the stories of the impecunious stands alone in its authenticity of the content and veritability of the experiences The substantiality of poverty was boredom and inconvenience, according to Orwell because poverty freed people from standard s of ordinary behaviors. Nevertheless, this book is not a book of socialist manifesto that urges the impecunious to revolt ag... Read more

Review:This was in perfect condition! Extremely satisfied :) I was a little scared that I wouldn't get the correct edition I need for my class but it was the correct one. Seller was friendly in letting me know that I had indeed ordered the correct edition even though it was clearly stated in the description but I did not see it due to not reading all the info. Overall, I couldn't be happier and I'm sure I will do extremely well in my class now that I have the book. Read more

Review:Piper is a very interesting writer and if you are a Reformed Baptist, I'm sure you have enjoyed his writings. More broadly speaking, I'm sure that if you have been even remotely involved in church ministry, you have either heard of him in some capacity, read his books, or both. This book, dealing with missions, was an interesting read for me. I was required to complete a critical analysis paper on the missiological and theological implications in this book, set forth for the fulfillment of Chris... Read more

Review:World War I ended with an inconclusive result. Basically the Germans lost because they were exhausted. France was in ruins. Germany was never invaded.
The "Big Four" sat around the conference table to divvy up Europe and the Near East and we have lived with the results ever since.
This book details the events that took place in Paris in 1919. Woodrow Wilson, who was already ill, was obsessed with his 14 points. However, those points did not always fit what the big powers saw as their ... Read more
