false 2820536 17 17 I absolutely love reading to my kids, thus my reviews cover a broad range of books. I don't think it's fair to just throw a rating on a book and call it done, so I try to put at least one line of review on all the books I rate - to justify the rating. In general, my ratings are pretty high, probably because I do my homework on the book before I start reading it - thus I go into the book expecting a 4 star read. For the most part, I stick to fiction.
My memory is pretty good, and I build my writing off of it. The most common question I get asked about Body of Knowledge is: "Is that a true story?" -- which flatters me, because I think that's what good fiction is all about.

An ant has two stomachs. I know this because my neighbor told me; and to my knowledge he never lied to me. It's fascinating how a person's attitude and feelings about someone, about life in general, can change so much in such a short time. Two months ago I hardly knew the meaning of the word 'time'. Another thing I learned from him: how to view everything from varying objective perspectives; especially with respect to time. If I had it to do over again, I'd have been more inquisitive. My wife Gwen accuses me of asking too many questions, but with him, I couldn't have asked enough. He knew everything. Is it possible to ask someone who knows everything too many questions? But I did ask a lot of questions, and there were always answers. And I liked the answers. They fit. They were logical. They placed everything in perspective and made me see the picture as a whole. I thought you might find it interesting why I thought the only logical thing I could do was kill him.]]> 2820536 4.37 84 64 2008 6693402 0979621178 9780979621178 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1249931424m/6693402.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1249931424s/6693402.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6693402-finding-reason 4.75 4 He's the most intelligent man I ever met. His friendship meant everything to me. The only logical thing then was to kill him.

An ant has two stomachs. I know this because my neighbor told me. He's incredibly intelligent and we've talked every evening on his porch for-has it only been two months? He has taught me to look at everything differently, and I've learned so much: the nature of time, the value of inquiry, and an understanding that even the impossible can sometimes be true. He has become my mentor, guide, and best friend. You might be interested why I thought the only logical thing to do was to kill him.
