Review:Obama's WarsBob Woodward detailed description of Obama's decision process for adding 30,000 American soldiers to our force in Afghanistan can be tedious at times, but shows our military's efforts to widen the scope of the war and the President's efforts to limit our engagement there.

Review:I read "Reading Lolita in Tehran" when it first came out and have purchased many copies as gifts for my friends. Ms. Nafisi is an incredible story teller with intresting observations about personal qualities of the people she comes in contact with. She describes the events that have influenced her life with such honesty and clarity that it is hard to put the book down. I strongly recommend this book to everyone as a pleasant experience in discovering a new world observed through the author's per... Read more
Review:Excellent and authentic writing about several different eras in Russia/Soviet Union. Written by a very gifted young author. The title story seems a little too worked over. The cynicism of some of the characters' is wearisome at times. Read more

Review:A sort of autobiography by the inimitable Michael Moore, this book is a great read. Moore describes periods in his life that helped him to become the man of the people that he is today. Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life It grabbed my attention from the first page and I always had trouble putting it down. Highly recommended! Read more
Review:This book is surprising timely (rare to read something that speaks to current issues when they are happening). The beginning is quick historical summary and then into the morass of our current situation. The ending was uplifting and hopeful which in today's mass media prophesying of doom and gloom was a welcomed break. There is no quick fix, but strong willed people can effect change by being conscious beings (look at what you buy and who you elect and continue to ACT)! Thank you for the his... Read more
