This is the second time I have read this and I was surprised that I remembered very little of the book. Probably says more about my memory than the quality of the story!

This is more than an overview of Western Philosophy. It's a remarkable achievement, detailing how philosophy originates as both primitive science and theology and how it has governed the course of Western thought since the earliest periods. Its a long read, a heavy read, in fact at times it a down right difficult read! But it rewards, both in understanding philosophical ideas and its application, not just to its historical and cultural environment, but to our modern day circumstances as well. The only downside is its slight datedness and the referencing 'recent' events - circa 1945. However, these moments are far and few between, especially when the construction of language is as elegant as it is, allowing for an easy grasp of complex ideas.

Loved this book! Opened my eyes to the many ways statics can be twisted to find different "truths".

The 6th Target by: James Patterson Month Read: May 2007 Series: #6 Women's Murder Club Pages: 326 Number: 34 First Sentence: "A KILLER IN WAITING, Fred Brinkley slumps in the blue-upholstered banquette on the top deck of the ferry" Synopsis: From the Publisher When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies-- but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success. My Thoughts: The style of this one turned me off a bit because it had more than 1 case as the focus. I prefer to have my focus drawn into one case at a time and for some reason Patterson and Paetro found it necessary to tell the story of 3 different cases. None of which ultimately tied to each other, but almost as if they couldn't seem to make 1 book about any of those cases. I am not sure. Ultimately I was not disappointed by this journey into the WMC, I just felt like they couldn't settle on something and tried very hard to keep the readers attention by throwing in other stuff to disuade and distract. Characterization: As always I love the characters in this series, but I most definitely still miss Jill. Yuki still hasn't replaced her in my heart Keep/Swap/Library: Swap Rating: B
I thought the first 100 pages were kind of boring. But after that it got really funny and interesting.
I'm reminded of a time long ago when I watched a televised version of "A Bridge to Terabithia" with my son. When it was over he asked me why I wanted us to watch it since I knew it would make him sad. I didn't know how to answer that question and I don't really know why I'm recommending this book. Just maybe it's good to face some grim truths in fiction. Shep Knacker has dreamed and saved for years for an escape he calls "The Afterlife". He wants to move to an island where his nest egg can support his wife and himself for the rest of their lives. He's finally ready to do it, and tells himself he's going whether or not his wife will come with him. Then his wife breaks news of her own - she has been diagnosed with cancer and desperately needs his health insurance. Shep's best friend, Jackson, also faces overwhelming medical expenses because his daughter has Familial Dysautonomia, a rare disease affecting people of Jewish decent. Jackson rails against the medical profession, the insurance industry, the government, and anything else he can think of while Shep continues to be the self-sacrificing good guy. Some of Jackson's tirades can be a little tedious and as the reader progresses through the 400+ pages you do get the feeling of a long slog along with Shep and Jackson. But it is worth the effort.

Nathan Rabin is clever without being cloying, and often finds the perfectly hilarious phrase to describe the indescribable, i.e. some of the worst, least popular, and most egregiously misunderstood movies of all time. I share his secret fondness for Joe Versus the Volcano and I have to confess that Rabin has made me want to revisit Ishtar (albeit with caution). Other notorious flops are entirely worthy of their legendary status, and Rabin's takedowns of these turkeys is riotously entertaining. The book-exclusive interviews with the likes of Wallace Shawn and John Patrick Shanley add the perfect footnote to a book that qualifies as the Gone with the Wind of bathroom reading.
