Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday
, 2008
Liberal Fascism Book
This was a very deep and historical book. There is a lot of stuff in here I didn't know. I didn't know that the lady that originally started the Family Planning organization did not believe in abortion at all but only believed in birth control. Hitler got many of ...
Skeletons at the Feast
Chris Bohjalian
Shaye Areheart Books
, 2008
A brilliantly told story
I agree with those who thought "Skeletons at the Feast" was a marvelous book. It beautifully captures the brutality of war, as well as its ability to bring out the best in some. Most vividly, though, it depicts how nearly casual killing becomes. I shall never forget ...

Touching History: The Untold Story of the Drama That Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11
Lynn Spencer
Free Press
, 2008
An Important Book
I first heard about this book from a childhood friend, Chuck Savall, who was one of the pilots in the air during 9/11 and who author Lynn Spencer highlights in 'Touching History.' Initially, I thought I didn't have the heart to read more about that horrible day, and ...

West with the Night
Beryl Markham
North Point Press
, 1982
Reads like fiction
I agree with Hemingway that this is a piece of high literature that reads like fiction and spreads itself before the reader like a well-produced film. It drove me to learn more about the author and her life.
Dance upon the Air (Three Sisters Island Trilogy)
Nora Roberts
Jove
, 2001
Fun Read!
I absolutely loved this book, and I can't wait to read the second in the trilogy. I loved the characters, the setting, everything! I have yet to read something by Nora Roberts that I dislike. Pick up one of her novels, you will not be disappointed.

The Solar House: Passive Heating and Cooling
Daniel D. Chiras
Chelsea Green Publishing Company
, 2002
Amazing book - quite possibly the BEST on solar building
My copy of this book is a mess. It has highlighting and notes all throughout the pages and looks well worn even though I've only had the book for a year. When the time came to do some studying on solar design, this was the book that was recommended to me. And for ...
The Few
Alex Kershaw
Da Capo Press
, 2006
Not Exactly America's Finest Hour...
This outstanding narrative reads as more like a novel than a piece of researched non-fiction. I mean that as a complement as this is anything but a dry historical essay on the Battle of Britain. Although the story of the individual Americans is placed well into the ...

Wolfgang Langewiesche
McGraw-Hill Professional
, 1990

This book is simply fantastic. Yes, there are some old or simplified opinions, but as for tool for explaining how the airplane flies, invaluable.
