great quick read, fun disorientation of time sequence/entertaining presentation of the surreal as normative, not a big deep hard time but worth it.

I had tried in the past to read this first volume of Churchill's A HIstory Of The English-Speaking Peoples, but I was only able to get about two thirds of the way through on my first attempt. After seeing the Churchill War Rooms in London a few months ago and imagining the Prime Minister escaping from his war responsibilities into Merrie Olde England, I was inspired to give it another try. The Birth Of Britain, as I said, is the first of four volumes in Churchill's definitive history of England and America (but mostly England). It begins by giving the reader the lay of the land, literally - describing the islands that would someday become Britain and the fierce pagan tribes that lived there. The story progresses through Britannia's time as a Roman colony, the Saxon rule, the Norman invasion, the long line of ferocious and/or feeble-minded Plantagenet kings and then the Wars between the Red Rose of Lancaster and the White Rose of York. (Interesting tidbit - York, the actual city, was a Lancastrian stronghold.) The story ends with the marriage between Elizabeth of York and Henry Tudor and the inception of the Tudor dynasty. I enjoy reading history and I am absolutely looking forward to the next installment. It certainly helps that I was recently in England and Scotland, so I shuddered a little more at the thought of the little princes, Edward V and his little brother, locked up in the Tower, and it was easy for me to visualize the Roman legions walking down their famous roads after seeing the York Castle Museum. But you don't have to have traveled in England to learn from and enjoy Churchill's history. He fills in the gaps between the well-known periods and personalities and explains in detail how various events contributed to British society today. He also has a gift for the turn of a phrase - for example, characterizing Warwick the King-maker's having both Edward IV and Henry VI, the two quarreling kings, as hostages at the same time as "a remarkable achievement for any subject." Churchill's history is never dry!

The first and second were good. After that, they were kinda boring.
I have not read the book but have seen him speak to it in a lecture on his Hierarchical Temporal Memory theory. http://www.numenta.com/about-numenta/... The title of the book is what has put me off so far. My opinion is that it is a book on computation (in the true meaning of computation), NOT on intelligence. It is my belief (and others who share a contructivist epistemology) that Intelligence is a phenomenon of the observer and not of the observed. --TK
I should actually give this book only 2 stars, but I'm a sucker for really quick reads in the sci-fi genre (also known as trashy books that aren't difficult to understand). This is a space navy/military book in the style of Elizabeth Moon's Familias/Herris Serrano books, but I liked Weber's book a lot less than Moon's. While there is a female heroine (which I like), I didn't think the story flowed very well, nor were the characters developed as fully, and the beginning was "patchy" while the war sequence was improbable and lasted too long. Also, too many characters I cared about died at the end. This is not a plus for a series that goes on forever. (And while I understand the criticism for Moon's series is that by the 3rd or 4th book in the series there are too many characters and plot lines to follow, I prefer that to a story where everyone gets axed.) I might read the next book in the series, but probably not until I need some trashy beach reading. And I'll buy it at a used bookstore. There was also ZERO romance in the book. What kind of book is that? NO sex? Tres bizarre.

I thought this book was astounding. It's scope reminds me of Midnight's Children, and it was an excellent perspective on the history of Detroit.
I am reading this book for the scond time this year. It is very amusing and odd at the ssame time. I recomend this book to anyone who has a "Nick-Namer" at their school!

A good collection of short stories that makes you laugh, smile, and cry...passing through a number of other emotions on the way. (This I also read in French so I can't guarantee the quality of the English version.)
You gotta like Anne Tyler for fun reads...
Great characters, interesting story. I may have to re-read, though, as it's been awhile and I would like to enjoy this beyond the confines of school.
