Help me pick a book
Looking into my library, I have a little queue of books waiting to be read that I have yet to go through, and I’m unsure which to start with. As a result, I bring the decision before you, oh wise blogosphere. You pick the book I should read next from the below list, [...]
Lessons on Leadership by Abraham Lincoln
So I’m a day late. That’s about normal for me. Yesterday was Abraham Lincoln’s 199th 200th birthday, though he doesn’t look a day over 56. I have to say that Lincoln has always been one of my favorite US Presidents. Even when I was in elementary school, I always enjoyed when [...]

The Assault on Reason
I (somewhat) recently finished reading Al Gore’s The Assault on Reason. It’s not my normal style of book to read, but I must say that I enjoyed it. It opened my eyes to a great many things, but more importantly got me asking some very important questions.
