Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story
David Einhorn
Wiley, 2008
A Super Investment Read
I have not read an investment related book since Liar's Poker which I wanted to keep reading and finish in a single day. I liken this book to Michael Lewis' work only in that it will likely stand as equally as much of a "must read," however one important distinction ...

Long Time Leaving: Dispatches from Up South
Roy Jr Blount
Knopf, 2007
Yee-haw! (or words to that effect)
Besides being a brilliant specimen of that endangered species, The White Southern Liberal, Blount is about as funny as any humanoid on the planet. "Long Time Leaving," an anthology of some of his occasional pieces, proves a little repetitious at points (how many times ...

An amazingly accurate portrayal of a person with Asperger's.

Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul
Douglas Adams
Pocket, 1991
Brilliant, but what would you expect?
Only Douglas Adams could come up with sentences like, "He was deliberately and maliciously watching tv at him!"
I love both Dirk Gently books, but this one is better, and funnier. I still laugh out loud when I think of Kate's "alleged car". I was afraid I'd be ...

This is an excellent book for long distance parenting ideas. Some are rather generic, but you can build on those to make them even more special. I recommend this book to any parent who is away or going to be away from their children for any length of time at all. I ...
