Crank it at the 0:47 mark and you won't regret it. Hearing is overrated.

Of course George let Osama escape out of Tora Borah because Iraq had weapons of mass destruction(sarcasm) When someone breaks into your car, that means you get to shoot up the neighborhood. So East Ukraine pro-Russian agitators want to be annexed. If this movement is large and is...

To me, defending Aaron Burr is akin to mounting a defense of Hitler, Satan, or the moral principles of wall street traders. It would truly be an almost insurmountable task in light of overwhelming evidence. Nancy Isenberg is more than up to the task in her book and she quickly admits to Burr's...

In the late '90s, I went to a bookstore and purchased Of Sense and Soul by Ken Wilber. While there are many books on Buddhism out there and I've read most, Wilber was different. His main point was to create a coherent "integral" theory that united science and religion and all branches of...

Our society, and religion subsequently, do venerate the rich as you maintain. On that point, we agree. While a Catholic political movement and a protestant pastor are indeed different, both purport a Christian viewpoint. The growth of the latter and decimation of the former shows that Lazarus...

Just finished this book and the title caught my attention, great "hook" for the caffeinated set. Howard Behar was president of starbucks and presided over a tumultuous time that saw the expansion of flavors, rapid growth of the company, as well as introduction of the automated coffeemaker...

753c-I will have to I'm not certain when "liberation theology" gave way to the likes of Joel Osteen. I'm not certain which is worse really. Phyllis Tickle and Brian McLaren write extensively about "emerging christianity" which is more about getting back to the roots and remembering THE...

Big fan of Waukegan and Gurnee Mills here. Who would win in a fight between God and Ditka? Welcome? :devillook

It's in their sphere of influence, no one cares about the Sudetenland. They just want some "Lebensraum" If we negotiate, we can have peace. Just trust Neville.......er....uh....wait....what are we talking about?

Glad to have you!, what do you enjoy reading?

Gentle?, we are warm and fuzzy fur balls here. Post early and post often my friend. :devillook

I have an old copy of that book and read it a few years ago. I do remember it for some of the stories. In Last, there are a few passages about Massino being on to Pistone and wanting him rubbed out. The guy had a knack for knowing "bad" cars and "bad" people. Of course, the word "bad"...

My interest in this book arose from Jimmy Breslin's book that I reviewed previously. In more than a few instances, I've read of the "last godfather" and became very curious. Joey Massino started out in the delivery truck business, the bad side of it. The book has the usual familiar stories...

55 degrees here. 140 degrees when Scarlet Johansson is on t.v. What is the worst book that you've read in the last five months?

Perhaps a lemon emoticon would suffice? :)

The distinguishing between two and three stars causes me a lot of consternation. I almost feel that three stars is too much of a "free pass." If I don't finish a book, it's almost a one star. If only we had star and a half increments....hmmmmmmm...:devillook

The Good Rat; Jimmy Breslin Just finished this one last week. Jimmy Breslin is a noted journalist with extensive history with the mob. In utilizing a "rat" named Burt Kaplan, Breslin goes behind Kaplan's story to detail a history of two crooked cops who kill for the mob and who provide...
