I never could get into fiction. To my way of thinking the real world is so much more interesting! I enjoy books on history, politics, ...more

So what's your pleasure? Do you enjoy tunes from the Great American Songbook? How about a little rhythm & blues? Perhaps you dig the music of Van Morrison.

It is death by a thousand cuts. Slowly but surely, year by year, the kind of aggressive and unbiased journalism that generations of Americans have come to rely upon to help decide public policy matters and to assist them in electing public officials has been disappearing. These trends have been quite troubling to Alex S. Jones. What...more

With the onset of cooler weather just around the corner it is time to think about how you can reduce the cost of heating your home this winter.

23 great books about natural and man-made disasters. (23)
Over the years I have been fascinated by books about disasters both natural and man-made. It is definitely one of my favorite genres of non-fiction books. I find that while the facts about the disaster are quite interesting I am much more interested in how and why various public officials and the members of the community react to such misfortune. Inevitably many heroes emerge from these unfortunate situations. Once again, these books...more

WOW, that's an awful lots of snow you guys are getting in the U.S. It hits us in Toronto about 2 weeks ago, just 2 days before I left! Was nearly grounded but managed to take off despite the chill. Stay warm! On the bright side, you'll have a white Christmas for sure! :-)
