    Alain de Botton: Religion for Atheists

    Started reading the Roose book last night. The first chapter has many amusing parts to it, especially concerning how an "outsider" who doesn't know the lingo can get him/herself in troble. The author recounted sitting around a table with other Liberty students and letting out mild oaths to the...

    Self published?

    I can't agree more about this subject. I have purchased more self-published books this year, there have been some good diamonds in the rough.

    Newt Gingrich: Days of Infamy

    I read an article where a librarian had a 40 minute commute to work. She read a book at home, listened to an audiotape while in the car, and then read a book at work during her lunch break. Being somewhat inspired, I decided to go with an audiobook. I selected Days of Infamy by former...

    Alain de Botton: Religion for Atheists

    Gotta agree with beer on this, hardly an original concept. On a related note The Unlikely disciple: A sinner's semester at America's holiest university. I found that one just eyeing a section at the library. I knew a counseling intern who attended Liberty. I asked in a round about...

    Books to read while on the window ledge

    The years(unlike this thread) have changed, but the problem is still the same. Add another two to the list: Meltdown: A free-market look at why the stock market collapsed, the economy tanked, and how government bail outs will make things worse.; Thomas E. Woods Will America grow up before...

    Are you B.A.R. addicted?

    I use to be more of a dedicated member, I'm more intermittent now due to a variety of reasons.....life being the largest reason.:D I do enjoy the threads that members post about books that you otherwise can't find on other forums. Not sure why, but this one has always clicked with me.

    Benjamin Carson: Gifted Hands

    You would be proud abecedarian! I went to the library last night and checked out a Ben Carson book. I picked up Take the risk. While there is fascinating medical descriptions of separating conjoined people, the larger point about taking risks made the book a good one. I'm fifty pages into it...

    June 2013 - Robert M. Pirsig: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values

    Thank you Meadow for clarifing things at the half-way point. To be honest, it kind of muddles and to me, I caught his drift, not his full point. Just a technicality, but I really dislike the term "quality." Not sure what I would replace it with, but just a minor thing that I'm hung up on at...
