book review

Well it is time to Review Cody Lundin's second book When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes. You may remember I reviewed his other book 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive and gave it a big thumbs up. Our favorite hippie's sophomore effort is quite impressive to say the least. This time around Mr. Lundin writes more of a "survival bible" type book a

After finding the book “Stop Working” from Derek Foster on Amazon, I feverishly read it from cover to cover in about 3 - 4 hours. To those of you who haven’t heard anything about the book before, it’s written by Derek Foster, who is touted to be Canada’s youngest retiree.Apparently the author of this book was able to “punch out” of the workforce at the tender age of 34. He was able t

Not To Blame -- Joni Mitchell   Here are a few fragmented excerpts on Countrywide's thirst for quantity and increasing lack of quality. As for Countrywide being a great place to work -- as Jonas Roth (the head of the trading desk at Countrywide) and others might testify to -- Betsy Bayer (VP of compliance at Countrywide) wasn't so sure. "It was a sweatshop," sh

Priced at $195, used copies almost unheard of, this book with its almost 'cult-like' following has intrigued me for years. I finally decided to buy "The Trading Method That Can Make You Rich" and see what the fuss is all about.

What do you get when you bake three years of work and twelve years of Internet marketing experience?

All Known Metal Bands (Dan Nelson, McSweeny’s, 2008) Dan Nelson’s new book All Known Metal Bands — collecting the seemingly endless myriad of heavy metal band names — is a compendium of linguistic intention — after all, metal bands mean business, and more so than any other genre of music, a metal band’s name stands for [...]

It started off kind of slow, but I found myself finishing Sedaris's latest collection of essays rather quickly. The last huge chunk of the book is dedicated to his attempt at quitting smoking, and through a list of reasonable sounding excuses, he decides the only way he can quit is if he moves to Tokyo, Japan. Having quit smoking myself, it was somewhat interesting to compare our addictive thought

   Shadow of the Almighty is the biography of Jim Elliot written by his wife Elisabeth Elliot just two years after his death. The story of his life is powerful.

If you read the quotes I have posted over the last few days, you will see his passion and dedication evidenced

Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel) by J.L. Bourne is next on my review list. This isn't your typical survival book per se, as it is fiction. It is a novel that takes place in a ZPAW ( Zombie Post Apocalytic World). The novel was written by J.L. Bourne aka "Raptorman" on the Zombie Squad forums I frequent. He is currently serving our country as a pilot in the Air Force. This is his first

Logical Chess: Move by Moveby Irving ChernevBatsfordIf I could transport myself back in time to give advice about chess to the nine-year-old-me -- the nine-year-old who'd just about stopped blundering a piece or two every game, the nine-year-old starting to sense that chess was in some indefinable way more than a game, the nine-year-old who'd had one chess lesson in which he'd been taught about th

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, an American classic, is an odd story of love, loss, and guilt. Nathaniel Hawthorne creates an odd story, mainly because the narrator keeps interrupting the story with all sorts of different scenarios, ideas, and sometimes even tells you what his personal opinion is. Sometimes, the narrator will even tell [...]

Lukas Podolski recently asserted that ‘football is like chess, except without the dice’.
