Good books
One Lone Eagle
My good friend sent me this poem and I thought it was appropriate with Memorial Day coming up next week. One Lone Eagle Larry E. Hannon Copyright May 19, 2011 I heard her before I saw her Flying through the sky The moan of one lone eagle On silver wing – On high There’s no [...]
Cold Breakfast
Poem by Wayne McKinzey Boot tracks pressed a faded trail through last night’s heavy snow. Paw prints paused at blood drops, hidden two inches below. Wind through leafless branches blew deep winter chords. Sunrise lit a failing porch of gray weathered boards. Embers grayed in a hazy room from a damper closed too tight. Rows [...]
Goddess of the Market, an autobiography of Ayn Rand, by Jennifer Burns
Ayn Rand wrote two very powerful novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, which both defend capitalism and vilify out of control government. Rand died in 1982 and these books continue to sell hundreds of thousands of copies every year. With the collapse of financial markets and more government controls recently, sales are escalating. I resonated [...]
Book Report – Rich Brother Rich Sister by Robert and Emi Kiyosaki
Since 1995 I have been a fan of Robert Kiyosaki. Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad changed my life. I had no positive financial education when I was growing up so the information in this book was like manna from heaven. Since then I have read everything that Robert Kiyosaki has written and put his financial [...]
Feet First – Good book for getting your horse barefoot
Feet First – Barefoot Performance and Hoof Rehabilitation by Nic Barker and Sarah Braithwaite is one of the best books on Hoof care I have seen. Nic and Sarah started on their path of having barefoot horses when 3 out of 5 of their horses went lame while in shoes. When conventional veterinary care was [...]
Common Sense
I read Glenn Beck’s Common Sense and I sure did enjoy it. This book is based on Common Sense by Thomas Paine, which was written at the time of the American revolution. It is fascinating to compare the challenges facing the colonies at that time and what American citizens face today. The American revolution was [...]
The Go Giver
John David Mann is one of my most favorite people. I have known John for over 15 years and his quiet manner draws you in. In his book, The Go Giver, he and Bob Burg tell a story of a fictitious salesman named Joe. Joe is your stereotypical, ambitious go getter who wants to be [...]
Deadliest catch
I love to watch the show called deadliest catch. It is on the discovery channel and follows Alaskan crab fisherman through a season of fishing. The conditions these men work in are amazing and they are just as amazing in their toughness. This is not some made for TV reality show but the recording of [...]
The Forgotten Man
The Forgotten Man, A New History of the Great Depression, by Amity Shlaes is one of the most powerful books I have read in a long time. This book is a history book and it does not give much in the way of opinion or commentary. What Amity Shlaes does is take the important public [...]
Book review The Next Millionaires
On the plane traveling to Equine Affaire I read a fascinating book entitled The Next Millionaires by Paul Zane Pilzer. I have read other books by this author such as The Next Trillion and The Wellness Revolution. I had bought his new book last year at the Xango convention but had not found time to [...]
