Three Books Finished and Starting New Fiction

Three Books Finished and Starting New Fiction

The book on Rush Limbaugh, the book about Zappos, and the book about social networking by AmberMac are now on the book shelf. A few more steps on the road to knowledge. Each of those books were very quick and easy reads and each provided me with insights I didn’t possess before. Particularly Tony Hsieh’s [Continue]

What Rush Limbaugh, Amber MacArthur, Tony Hsieh, and Cory Doctorow Have in Common

What Rush Limbaugh, Amber MacArthur, Tony Hsieh, and Cory Doctorow Have in Common

Me. They are either the authors or the subject of books I’m currently reading. I’ve neglected to update the books I’ve picked up for early summer reading. These are: For the Win  by Cory Doctorow Power Friending by Amber MacArthur Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose  by Tony Hsieh Rush Limbaugh: An [Continue]

Two More Books Bite the Dust

Finally finished “Everything Asian” and “Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know” after a long reading break. I tend to do this. Take a break from reading for a month and then spend hours and hours catching up. “Everything Asian” was a nice enough book but I’m not sure how many people [Continue]

Out from Under the Dome

I just finished the 1000+ page novel, “Under the Dome”, by Stephen King a few minutes ago. I haven’t tackled a book so large in a while but it was well worth the time spent. Even though it was over a thousand pages long the story never felt slow or boring. In fact, towards the [Continue]

Tech Pundits Defend Apple’s Assault on Consumers

It’s been a week since Apple announced its entry in to the tablet computing space. The iPad is a very cool sleek device. But after all is said and done the iPad cannot be elevated beyond a very big slightly more powerful iPod Touch. It runs the same OS and runs the same applications. The [Continue]

Sarah Palin's Book, "Going Rogue", Well Misunderstood

Sarah Palin's Book, "Going Rogue", Well Misunderstood

I finished reading Sarah Palin’s book, “Going Rogue” over the weekend and I have determined that the pure unadulterated hatred of this woman by the media and her political opponents have gone too far. Furthermore, I’m quite confident that most of the critics of Sarah Palin and her book have never actually cracked open the [Continue]

Going to Read "Going Rogue"

Going to Read "Going Rogue"

I openly admit to being a supporter of Sarah Palin. Given the history that we know of her and her rise to the governor’s office in Alaska I don’t see how anyone can put this woman down for her accomplishments. I’m also fascinated by the hatred of her by Democrats, people in the media, and [Continue]

New Stephen King Novel Received – "Under the Dome"

I just received my copy of Stephen King’s new novel, “Under the Dome”. It’s a whopper! A total of 1072 pages. Thank goodness for my Amazon Prime account. I wouldn’t want to pay the shipping on that monster. http://twitpic.com/p22w9 Since I’m in the middle of a few other books it will be a few weeks [Continue]

New Books to the List

I just received two new books that I intend to crack open soon. I just finished “Men in Black” and I’m halfway through “The Housing Boom and Bust” so I thought it was time to add a couple more to the queue. The first is another non-fiction political book written by columnist Mark Steyn called [Continue]

My Reading List

Ever since I left school (That’s entirely another story) I started reading. Why? Because I could finally read things that piqued my interest rather than read what was assigned. I absolutely could not concentrate in school reading books I was told to read. So in the sidebar of my blog you’ll find a list of [Continue]
