In this book, President Clinton discusses his thoughts on how we got to where we currently stand economically, and his ideas for improving our sluggish economy going forward. First things [...]

Late yesterday, I managed to complete my reading of Patrick O’Brian’s H.M.S. Surprise. (I’ll be posting my thoughts on it in a few days.) The timing of me completing it meshed perfectly with my trip to our local library on Saturday to pick up a book that I was on the wait-list for. The book [...]

This evening I completed my reading of Glenn Beck’s Broke. In Broke Glenn talks about how bad our nation’s finances truly are and puts forward some very basic suggestions on how to fix it. The first part of the book dealt with the history of our nation in finances, from the founding fathers to our [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m reading Broke, by Glenn Beck. I also mentioned in that post, that the topic of Broke definitely has something to do with current events as our political leaders are arguing about what to do about our nation’s debt ceiling.

Now that I’ve finished Post Captain, I have decided to return to a book on my 2011 goals list. Yesterday, I checked out from the library [...]

Last night before turning in for the evening, I completed my reading of President Bush’s Decision Points. As I mentioned in my first impressions post, I was very much impressed with the President’s candor with all the issues he discussed in his book. However, I can say with complete honesty, this candor wasn’t exactly what [...]

Early last week, I finally decided to pick up an e-reader. After many months deliberating whether I wanted to enter into the world of e-reading, and debating which e-reader to get, I ended up purchasing an Amazon Kindle. I spoke some about my deliberation with e-reading here. I decided upon the Kindle after I saw [...]

I’m about 50% through President Bush’s Decision Points on my Kindle. I’ve found the President’s writing to be succinct and to the point. So far he has been very forthcoming with details on the major decisions he felt he made early on in life, and during his presidency. From quitting drinking, his decision on stem [...]

I’m very happy to be tackling this book on my brand new Amazon Kindle e-reader device! I finally took the plunge, and that will be a post later on. I know President Bush’s [...]

Last night I managed to complete my reading of Bill O’Reilly’s Pinheads and Patriots. It turned out to be a very quick read, hence why I didn’t write a first impressions post. Bill’s writing and tone was as if he was having a discussion at either my dining room table or in my living room. [...]
