I use to go back and re-read the Appendix on Newspeak every couple of years. It shines a bright light on how governments use language. Very insightful. "When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink." Francois Rabelais www.tanglenet.com TN posted on Cellartracker |

Just finish "Real Change" by Newt Gingrich. A quick and easy read with a good message that is a little lost on me because of the author’s obvious political leanings. Still worth a read.

Recently finished "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer. Disturbing, yet mesmerizing... hard to put down!

When I was in college the debits were still on the left and the credits were still on the right. Has it changed much since then?  Joe ----- Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |

It is still the same theory....debits on the left and credit on the right but then again there are other issues such as cash to accrual accounting, balance sheets, income statements...blah blah blah |

Yes and yes. The first time I read the book on my own I kept recommending it to all my friends and family, but I don't think one person actually picked it up because of their preconceived notions about the story. Oh well, you can only do so much! |

The Nuclear Jihadist
Fascinating story of A.Q. Kahn's nuclear proliferation efforts and the way almost every Western intelligence agency knew it and did nothing about it. Pretty scary implications for the future. ********************************************** "I wish I'd a been a doctor. Maybe I'd have saved some life that's been lost. Maybe I'd have done some good in the world, instead of burning every bridge I've crossed." -Bob Dylan |

Wild Swans by Jung Chang. Great weaving of a personal family narrative and the brutal history of Modern China (circa 1920 - 1970s) as experienced by a mother, daughter and granddaughter.
She also wrote that recent biography of Mao. |

Just started reading "The Rule Of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. I'd never heard of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili text before. Sounds interesting.

The Rule of Four is very entertaining. I listened to the audio book driving to/fro NY, and very much enjoyed it.
Like The DaVinci Code, with a little different pacing. |
