Sports Illustrated: Hate Mail from Cheerleaders and Other Adventures from the Life of Reilly

Rick Reilly

Sports Illustrated, 2007

I laughed, I cried, I got angry
I feel a sports columnist's job is to evoke emotion in the reader. Make him/her laugh, cry, get angry, just don't bore them. Riley does that better than anyone. He's an amazingly gifted writer and I loved nearly every bit of this book. I'd already read most of these ...

Suzette Martinez Standring

Marion Street Press, Inc., 2007

Exceptional resource for columnists...
I have a pet peeve. Well, I suppose truth be told, I have several pet peeves. But the one most relevant to this book review is the trend of "how-to" and "you-can-do" books, often written by people with dubious credentials, or occasionally - no credentials at all. ...

Eleanor Roosevelt

Da Capo Press, 2001

Historical, political, personal
My favorite way to learn about history is through the voice of a person who lived in that time. Often, however, the most readable first-person narratives leave something to be desired in breadth, since a single real person cannot be everywhere and have opinions on ...

I am in agreement with the other reviewers
Thomas Sowell is more than just a critical thinker: he has a penchant for expressing his ideas with a clarity with which it is difficult to argue. He uses that uncommon commodity known, for some strange reason, as "common sense." Sowell points out`the ludicrous ...
