O'Rourke's classic about the "workings" of government is just as funny and relevant as when it was written 20+ years ago. Only the names and dollar amounts have changed.(less)

I’ve started eating chocolate again, thanks to this amusingly written look at independent candy makers, by a guy who likes candy a little too much. Marred by occasional liberal whining that has nothing to do with the book’s topic (to be expected from a guy who resigned his position at Boston College because they invited Condi Rice to speak there).

This readable indie novel about a down-and-out manager who assembles a band of others in need if a second chance suffers from the typical indie novel malady: too much tell and not enough show. In fact, the book is mostly show. However, the author does know how to push emotional buttons, though, and should produce interesting work as his writing improves.(less)
