Chilling account of the Psychological crippled president from someone who knows him too well

Revisado: 07-15-20

I didn't expect such Psychological insight to the Nero of the American Empire. Left me profoundly sad at something I saw c.ing and could do nothing about.

Candice Millard is able to bring to life the assassin of James Garfield. You begin to see the subtle mistakes the killer makes. As he becomes more and more psychotic you see the bullet coming.

Pynchon at his best hystorographic metafiction

Revisado: 07-14-19

this is a true epoch only Thomas Pynchon could create. Starting in the 1893 Worlds Fair and ending in the first world war this panorama of characters weaves an intricate tapestry, A challenge of a book but well worth the effort

There is something about true brilliance in a writer. You are unable to stop reading and as you began to realize the fascination this master storyteller has the ability to instill in you the mystery till hanging on every word you end up at the end of the tale, This book brings a tear of happiness to me every time I read it.

Excellent book on using sleep to meditate

Revisado: 07-12-19

A clear and lucid dissertation of active dreaming, controlling your dreams and using your sleeping phase of your life to center yourself. Practices that are well known today and practiced by sleep specialists like myself. Yet this book shows how old these techniques are and how many people have used this form of meditation to help them grow old without the pain, fear and anger that makes old age so difficult. A wonderful book that you will learn much from.

Just when You Thought It Wasn't So Bad

Revisado: 06-28-19

Remember the immortal words of Eddie Lawrence, "Is that what is bothering you Bunky?" He would go on and on about how horrible your life has been and then go into a chorus line. This book is not as shallow but the extent of the dirt this book digs up on President Trump is amazing An excellent read.

Impeachment versis, "Your Fired!"

Revisado: 06-28-19

Here is a clear and concise history of impeachment and the things presidents did to get there. It makes clear that impeachment does not mean removal from office. Oddly enough the president that came close to losing his job had a very similar M.O. as president Trump. Many have commented on Andrew Jackson's career parallels. This book is very educational and entertaining.

Too Gifted to Ignore Too Devilish To Speak Of

Revisado: 06-25-19

Lord Byron is one of the best English poets but so ridden with scandal that his short life ended with a sigh of relief by Victorian society. Charles River is an excellent editor setting Byron's works in a setting that enhances quotes from him. Fans of Byron will enjoy this book and people just getting a taste of this poetic genus will be surprised.

Makes Early Roman History Come Alive

Revisado: 06-25-19

I am a great fan of early Roman historians. Finding one I hadn't heard of is always a thrill. Polybius emphasizes more of the military aspects as the warring tribes that inhabited Italy coalesced into a unified crucible of the Roman Empire, I'm onto the second volume and enjoying this fresh perspective on an ancient empire,
