Ender’s Game
by Orson Scott Card
Amazon Price: $5.99
Customer Review: Orson Scott Card’s ‘Ender’s Game’ is one of my favorite science-fiction novels. Reading about Ender’s genius thoughts, and uncanny abilities really provokes my imagination. The ending is stellar, but the LDS religious undertones of the whole ‘Speaker…

by Richard Dawkins
Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: Why should we care about Darwin’s Theory of Evolution? Is it a bad thing that around half of the American population doesn’t accept it?
Simply put, evolution is arguably the greatest attempt to answer some of the eternal epistemological …
The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Book 4)
by James Patterson
Amazon Price: $13.60
Customer Review: I must say I read the first three books and absolutely loved them. When I picked up this one I thought it was a bit small in size so I was hoping it would cut to the point. Man was I wrong. This whole book was a total cop-out, what a pathetic ending …
Principles of Microeconomics
by N. Gregory Mankiw
Amazon Price: $106.56
Customer Review: Joseph Schumpeter once encouraged his readers to make up their mind whether they wanted simple or useful answers, because both could not be had at the same time. Mankiw opts for the former option. A student who knows little about economics and who wi…
The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Mira…
by Bruce H. Lipton
Amazon Price: $25.00
Customer Review: Lipton’s book turns our understanding of the world inside out: it is not the DNA inside the cells that controls them, but the interaction of the outer cell membrane receptors with their environment. Starting from what is known and accepted, the auth…

Evil Genes: Why Rome Fell, Hitler Rose, Enron Failed and My Sister Stole My M…
by Barbara Oakley
Amazon Price: $19.11
Customer Review: Another reviewer put this book in the same class as works by Oliver Sacks. I hardly think that this kind of “Sunday supplement” journalism — written by an amateur with no formal training in genetics, neuroscience, or psychiatric diagnosis — should …

Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
My biggest problem with this collection is that many of the stories are recently written and from the pages of Asimov’s and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. End result, I’d read 80% of these or so i…
Rick Steves’ Rome 2008 (Rick Steves)
