Book review

I just finished Christopher Paolini's "Eragon" today. I started it yesterday. It's 528 pages. Is it good? Yep. Is it fun? Yep. Should you buy it? Yep. First off, let's get one thing out of the way. I bought the book because it was cheap for a hardback and I'd read a wire story about […]

Book report

I finished reading Anton Myrer's "Once An Eagle" last night. It's a heavy tome, nearly 1,300 pages, but it never drags. I began reading the book -- which my father had given me an extra copy of a couple years back, but had sat near the back of my extensive queue since then -- after […]

Who reviews?

When it came over the wires on Thursday, my jaw dropped. I'd been reading Bernie Goldberg's "Arrogance," and he recounted The New York Times' treatment of books by Christina Hoff Sommers, specifically "Who Stole Feminism?: How Women have Betrayed Women" and "The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism is Harming Our Young Men." What was […]

Arrogance

I'm reading Bernard Goldberg's new book, "Arrogance" and it's a good read. Goldberg spends the first few chapters outlining how the mainstream media responded to his first book "Bias" and to him personally. Goldberg refers to a piece attacking him in USA Today by the newspaper's founder Al Neuharth. Neuharth's short, 300 word column took […]

"The Last Ridge"

I recently finished reading McKay Jenkins' "The Last Ridge," a history of the Army's famed 10th Mountain Division. Anyone interested in military history or WWII will enjoy this book and earn a new appreciation of some of the men who fought in the mountains of Italy. While historians such as Stephen E. Ambrose have written […]

Bleachers

If you haven't checked out John Grisham's latest novel -- get it. Bleachers isn't one of his legal thrillers, instead it is the story of Neely Crenshaw, who returns to his hometown as the town's legendary football coach lays dying. The coach is loved for the success he brought to the small town, and hated […]

Tucker's book

Just got finished reading Tucker Carlson's book "Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites." It's a fun book, but at 192 pages in length, it's just not worth the $24.95 list price. Amazon's selling it for $17 and change, but it's probably not worth that much either -- wait for the paperback. (But if you're gonna buy it, […]

Book review

I recently finished reading Bob Kohn's "Journalistic Fraud: How The New York Times Distorts the News and Why it Can No Longer Be Trusted." On the whole, the book is well written and documented. Kohn identifies many different methods of injecting bias into news stories, nearly every one of them masterfully accomplished by the Times. […]

Defending Dershowitz

This is probably one of those signs of the forthcoming apocalypse, along with dogs and cats living together, but I'm flabbergasted that Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz is being accused of "plagiarism." Dershowitz's latest book, "The Case for Israel," is a point-by-point apologia for the continuing existence of the state of Israel. I finished reading […]
