Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two: For the Small Slow Cooker
Beth Hensperger

I love this book!!
I have 3 different sized slow cookers. This book has recipes for each of them. I love the cereal recipes. The maple cranberry granola is to die for. The recipes are easy to follow, and the notes and comments are interesting and informative.

Wow....
I really loved this book. The things Mike believes in like the Fair Tax (fairtax.org) and his approach to government. It is all, well "common sense", something we are dreadfully missing in American politics!

The Wisdom of Crowds
James Surowiecki
Anchor, 2005
great stuff!
I read this for a MBA class. Out of the stack of books assigned, so far, this is the only one I liked. It is relevant to today's curious questions of how to get crowds engaged, how crowds behave, and why we even care.
