Signet Classics, 2008

Heartbreaking
Since I had never read anything by Solzhenitsyn, I ordered this book when he died. It is so bleak and hopeless that I could not read it straight through - I could only take it in small doses. I am absolutely stunned that Breshnev allowed it to be published. I have ...

Investing for safe long-term gains

wealth of information
This book if far more that I expected it to be, far more than a cook book! It has so much information before you ever get to the recipes it is amazing. It is an overview of how the system works for Biggest Loser. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to adopt a ...

Ron Chernow has written another well detailed and well researched biography of a man who is indeed not as well known in the formation of the government of the United States. It seems Chernow's writings lean toward people who are often misunderstood. Such is the case ...
