Thiago Koti thiagokoti — 226 pages of first-class banker-bashing with the awful truth hidden on p. 187: "One thing that has been lacking in public discourse about the crisis is someone to point out the extent to which we helped do this to ourselves ... We grew obsessed with the value of our houses, felt richer than we should, borrowed money we didn't have, spent it on tat, and now that the downturn has happened - as it was bound to do - we want someone else to blame. Well boo-hoo. Bankers are to blame, but we're to blame too. That's just as well, because we're the ones who are going to pay." Lanchester's book is, like all his writing, witty and superb, and sets itself apart from others on the financial crisis by its moral stance. It's easy to hate a banker: Lanchester lists the reasons why you should.

Jessward Brumber jesswardcr9bcf — In 2002 Pope John Paul II issued his groundbreaking apostolic letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae" in which he not only exhorted the Catholic faithful to embrace the rosary with renewed vigor but introduced a monumental change to this venerable prayer by adding the five so-called "Mysteries of Light" which focus on significant episodes from the public ministry of Jesus. In so doing, the pontiff succeeded in drawing renewed attention to this ancient devotion and also helped to accentuate the Christological character of the rosary by adding these five mysteries from the Lord's public life. In an effort to further Pope John Paul II's desire that the rosary be better understood and more widely utilized by the faithful, up-and-coming Biblical scholar and apologist Edward Sri has written "The New Rosary in Scripture", a highly accessible introduction to the rosary, its history, and the Biblical background of each of its twenty mysteries. Anyone who would like to rekindle their knowledge of and enthusiasm for the rosary would be well-advised to check this book out. Sri's chapters on the mysteries and their roots in the Bible are especially helpful for attaining a greater understanding of the Scriptural underpinnings of the rosary. One of my favorite aspects of the book is the "Scriptural Rosary" in chapter 7, in which Sri provides a series of 10 Bible verses for each decade of the rosary, enabling one to meditate on the Scriptures while praying - one of the suggestions made by Pope John Paul in his apostolic letter. Speaking of which, the Pope's letter itself is included in an appendix at the end of the book, making it all the more valuable as a resource for praying the rosary according to the mind of the Church.

Ludwig Fiuza lidenskap — Found this book on a neighbor’s stoop. Later that day I met a 17 year old Russian speaking parrot, all white with pale blue around his black eye. He was in a cage on the sidewalk outside a vacuum cleaner store. I then went into the fruit store next door. When I came out I looked back at him, he was watching me with his head tilted. My landlords have a 50 year old parrot held captive in the windowless basement, alone, in a padlocked cage. His name is Shakespeare. I often hear him screaming. Well, the book. This book was written by Timothy—a tortoise who was unwillingly relocated (abducted) from the Mediterranean to England—and it’s sad, funny, insightful and true.
