I Feel Much Better Now That I'Ve Given Up Hope 1 review
Ashleigh Brilliant
Brilliant Enterprises, 1984
Great laughs!
A fun book that allows you to laugh at yourself and those around you. The cleverly illustrated epigrams would be great on a t-shirt. Consider "SOMETIMES I THINK I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING - then I regain consciousness" or "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE - it could have happened to me."

Death: I SIMPLY - FEEL I WANT A CHANGE
+ Great storyline, clever observations, but ending falls short of epic.
+ One of the best of the early Discworld books
I fondly got to know more about Death in this one. A skeleton figure wearing hooded- robe, and eye sockets filled with blue flames. Oh, he was funny and adorable in some ways. Here, he was like a grandfather whom in his old age suddenly got the urge for a change. He wanted to learn more about ...

Flat Tax (Hoover Institution Press Publication)4 reviews
Robert Ernest Hall, Alvin Rabushka
Hoover Institution Press, 1995
A Good Idea!
+ Flat and Simple
+ Non-Political Review
It's hard to believe this idea has been around so long, and we still don't have it! It's simply the fairest, simplest, most efficient, and workable plan yet proposed! Read about it, legislate, and maybe we won't have to waste 2 weekends a year on that pesky 1040.

I know the term 'life changing' has lost it's connotation but...

This book literally changed my life. I found it during my first year of college to become a teacher (the default major for students pressured into college before knowing who they are). Since then I have dropped out, been homeless and I am now studying to become a public defender and pro bono ...

As a non-computer geek type, and a woman to boot, I loved the book. I wasn't disturbed by the lack of women characters. After all, the book was about a bunch of guys and what these guys thought. And these guys actually thought pretty highly of women. That's one thing I liked about the book. The ...

All right, I'll admit it, when I first got this book I wasn't too impressed. It's a board book, not very different than the kind my two-year-old nephew reads. It's full of pictures, again, kind of like what I might find in the board books my nephew reads. Only these are nice color photos of fixings ...
