Gloriously topical

Revisado: 03-25-21

The accurate little topical details of internet life were a delightful change of pace. The character development was full and complete. Despite being topical the author successfully kept any obvious political leanings out of story.
The one problem keeping this from a 5 star rating is the language used too blue. The F-bomb loses its power if it’s used to much. I was finding myself turning down the volume when a character would go in a F-bomb rant.

This man was a Colossus

Revisado: 11-28-18

The book may be long but even at this length the life of Caesar out shines it. I am left with a renewed admiration for the man. I learned much about who this man truly was from the priesthood to the general or the lover to the politician he lived it all. I am left wanting learn more; which is the mark of a truly great history book.

Everyone who shares a profit should share the loss

Revisado: 07-27-18

Personally he treatment of talking head academics, limousine liberals and bankers where some of the funniest and most insightful of anything I have read or listened to recently.
His explanation that the primary driver of a financial crisis is usually someone who is benefiting from taking a risk but also taking the loss of a risk. This simple yet profound explanation is then applied to many different aspects of life. Never trust the opinion of someone who does not share the results of the taking that opinion.

Learning harder is better.

Revisado: 11-22-16

Well done overall. The first few chapters could be compressed a bit as I felt that the author was repeating the concept in slightly different ways.

The author goes into the concept that tests, as originally intend to gauge what has been learned, are required for long term deep learning. Although tests that do not count for a grade are not productive.

I like his concepts and know from my own experience this is how I learned. Shot bursts of a subject, then another before returning to review. Followed by periods of downtime before repeating the cycle.

Recommend this for anyone looking to make their study time more effective.

Nice summary of Irish history.

Revisado: 06-01-16

I have read many articles about different parts of Irish history but it is nice to have a chronological story to fill in the blanks. It was very informative to understand the various conflicts with England and English culture.

The classics

Revisado: 04-14-16

It's nice to hear classics I never had time to read. Hearing the basis of so many future SciFi stories gives them a sense of history or evolution.
