    books for 8 years old boy

    Mine enjoys the Amelia Bedelia series, Jack London'sThe Call of the Wild, and I would even check into the AR reading series if his school has it.

    C. DeBellaigue; Patriot of Persia

    I went to the library today and after picking up John McCullough's John Adams for my audiobook selection, I happened upon Patriot of Persia. I'm exactly half-way through the book and it's a good page turner. The book relies heavily on political events and personal anecdotes regarding Muhammad...

    Florian Illies: 1913 - The Year Before The Storm

    I love this time period, definitely one where people believed technology and reason would lead us to continual improvement in all matters of life. Yet another BTR!

    So.......

    I'm just on pins and needles wondering about the Trayvon Martin verdict. I'm on my third pot of coffee, not sure if I can handle another day of deliberations if they can't reach a decision today. Anyone else besides yours truly and Peder in the same boat?o_O

    Men in black 3. For being a sequel, it was equally as good as the first MIB. #2 was dreadful, just terrible. 3 was good stuff.:star3:

    Which Holy you like the most?

    In '93, I was stopped in the Denver International Airport by a Hare Krishna. The dude gave me his spiel and I was just weirded out. The guy did give me a copy of the Bhagavad-Gita and I have to say that at the time, I was very impressed. I particularly enjoy the exchanges between Arjuna and...

    Books to read while on the window ledge

    LOL-Perhaps a clarification is due. Peterson is one who could be characterized as a "deficit hawk" and he's been on that branch for a LONG time. To him, "growing up" would mean not printing money left and right to pay for social services and obligations owed to people through social security...

    Books to read while on the window ledge

    Just finished: :eek: Currency wars: The making of the next financial crisis by James Rickards. :eek: Some books come at you with a clear set agenda. The Fed is run by the Bildergers, the Illuminati, or the midnight shift at a Kenosha Burger King. This guy equally skewers Keynesian...

    Christopher Hitchens: Mortality

    Finished this one a month ago and really liked it. While he was very controversial, I enjoyed his wit and writing style concerning his cancer treatment and impending death. My favorite lines? and This is not a topic that lot of people can write about in such a refreshing and uplifting...

    Self published?

    Just checked out your website, absolutely love it! I also plunked down some change and purchased The Empty Chair. I love the book design covers btw, the one with the chick covered in blood definitely stood out, I will probably get that one too.

    Newt Gingrich: Days of Infamy

    An update of sorts-this audio book interest has started out really well. When I turn off the ignition, I know the CD player will start right up where I left off, I just have to remind my wife to turn off the radio knob if she drives.:D I'm on CD 6 of 10 and the action has definitely been...

    Simon Winchester: The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary

    What a good find! I read The professor and the madman. Winchester does an exceptional job of telling a great story, while stringing in facts and neat to know minutiae that otherwise, would put you to sleep.
