If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans

Ann Coulter

Crown Forum, 2007

Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book
It just doesn't stop. What is this, the sixth book by stick-woman? Does it matter? It's the same book, every year. The same shtick, all the time. I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. ...

I got this for my boyfriend's birthday gift. He loves the Onion "News" site, and was a Geography major in college (perfect, right?) I don't think there was a moment, until he was finished, that he wasn't carrying the thing around with him. He loved it, and I have to ...

A very loquacious first grader with a vocabulary far beyond her age
After more than 25 books, Barbara Park's series about a very loquacious first grader with a vocabulary far beyond her age (and the writing ability to go with it) is still going strong. So I suspended my disbelief and read JUNIE B., FIRST GRADER: DUMB BUNNY to my ...

Classic and Beautiful
As something of an "arm-chair" theologian, I've read many of the great Protestant thinkers so this slim volume was a first. My best friend gave this as a Christmas gift last year---I believe with some reservation (he's Catholic, and I'm not), but told me I'd enjoy and ...
