Since My Last Confession: A Gay Catholic Memoir
Scott Pomfret
Arcade Publishing, 2008
I don't think I'm QUITE who...
this book is aimed for, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it! I'm a straight Jewish woman and I found the book at the O'Hare airport bookstore recently. Hey, why not take a chance and learn about gay Catholic lawyers? I'm glad I took that chance as Pomfret is a wonderful ...
Project Arcade: Build Your Own Arcade Machine
John St. Clair
Wiley
, 2004
Excellent help and source of ideas
This book covered so much more than what I was expecting. If you have never built an arcade cabinet before then I would recommend this book if only to see how many different ways it can be done.
Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account
Arcade Publishing, 1993
Gripping Horrific Account of Life in the Auschwitz Death Camp
Dr. Miklos Nyiszli has written (1960) a graphic, gruesome, first-hand account of his time working as a doctor in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Due to his previous medical training in medicine and pathology, Dr. Nyiszli was spared by the hideously inhuman Dr. Josef ...
What You Should Know About Politics...But Don't: A Nonpartisan Guide to the Issues
Jessamyn Conrad
Arcade Publishing, 2008
An excellent guide for people who know nothing about politics and still vote
This book is a first-rate primer for the majority of Americans who know little about politics and policy making, or tend to get their information from less than reputable sources. Far too many people take dangerous, rash, and uneducated stands on important issues, or ...
The Arcades Project
Walter Benjamin
Belknap Press
, 2002
NY Times Review
Herbert Muschamp, the NY Times architectural critic, has written an interesting article about Benjamin and his Paris project which appears in the Arts & Leisure section on January 16, 2000. While not strictly speaking a book review it nevertheless offers some ...
Life and Death are Wearing Me Out: A Novel
Mo Yan
Arcade Publishing, 2008
Masterpiece
This book is written masterfully and encompasses a half century with sorrow and wit. Mo Yan is brilliant and the world he creates is both real and fantastical, while never settling for sentiment or fabulism. The only complaint I have about this book is the number of ...
Storyteller
Leslie Marmon Silko
Arcade Publishing, 1989
There Are No Pigeon Holes For This Pigeon
Librarians have a difficult time finding a place for this book. Should it go into the autobiographical section? There's a great deal of her past and her family's heritage in this book. Should it be placed next to the poetry books? She has included several of her ...
Wise Thoughts for Every Day: On God, Love, Spirit, and Living a Good Life
Leo Tolstoy
Arcade Publishing, 2005
Wisdom that changes its reader
I had the fortunate job of proof reading and minor editing of this book, for translater Peter Sekerin. As I spent the many hours doing so, I found that Tolstoy's thoughts and wisdom, as you continue to read him over and over, almost permeates your thoguhts and come ...
Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism, and Islam
Michel Onfray
Arcade Publishing, 2008
Worth the reading
As an atheist, I was interested and learned a lot supporting my long distaste for the three monotheistic religions. I think Onfray missed something by not addressing the question of the "God" gene, the thought that humans have evolved to need and accept the idea of ...
Penny Arcade Volume 5: The Case Of The Mummy's Gold (Penny Arcade)
Jerry Holkins

Mike Krahulik
Dark Horse
, 2008
Fantastic
No boring, long review. Just know that Penny Arcade is fantastic, and if you do not enjoy Penny Arcade, not only is this book not for you, but neither is oxygen.
The Dialectics of Seeing: Walter Benjamin and the Arcades Project (Studies in Contemporary German Social ...
Susan Buck-Morss
The MIT Press
, 1991
Wonderful
I have to agree with the reader from Los Angeles, and the review of November 28, 1999. This book is a lot of fun! Yes, a peculiar judgement, I know. I'm not usually a reader of literary scholarship and excavation. (Hey, I'm in the Army and very busy and I don't have ...
Until the Final Hour: Hitler's Last Secretary
Traudl Junge
Arcade Publishing, 2005
WW II Account Of A Would-Be Ballerina Who Instead Wound Up Working For Hitler
First of all I would like to correct a statement made elsewhere that this book was previously published in 1989 under the title Voices From The Bunker. That volume, reviewed elsewhere under its title, was co-written by Pierre Galante, author of The Berlin Wall, ...

The Adventure of English: The Biography of a Language
Melvyn Bragg
Arcade Publishing, 2006
A nice story of a remarkable character, told by a very talented storyteller
I learnt of this book through the results of a search on English language history books, and I bought it along with Professor's David Crystal's The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language. This may sound naïve, but the moment I unwrapped the parcel I kinda felt ...
