America's God

The Elements of Style: The Original Edition

William Strunk

Dover Publications, 2006

Simple, Yet Completely Necessary
I've had writing friends say that The Elements of Style is just too basic, too old-fashioned to be relied upon. As a writer who uses this book constantly, I say not so. Strunk offers up 52 pages of essential information for the writer in all of us. There are no endless ...

a classic for me and for my kids

Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)

Walt Whitman

Dover Publications, 2007

What More Can Be Said?
It's difficult to think of something appropriate to say about a man who spent his life trying to express the panorama of humanity through the lense of his own heart. From a drop of blood to the grandeur of a shipyard or a continent, he takes all readers on a journey ...

The Complete TurtleTrader: The Legend, the Lessons, the Results

Michael W. Covel

Collins Business, 2007

Good read
Good book. A lot of traders get caught up in the fundamental garbage, especially when they start out. Focusing on the noise just takes your attention off of what really matters - making money. I can't cant the number of times when a crop report comes out that ...
