Nathanael gave to: On the Road by Jack Kerouac read in September, 2010	My rating:

I wish more well-read sages from the 60s wrote books like this one. Back then people learned rhetoric in school and they read enough books to recognize their most influential authors. Muggeridge is at his best when talking about his four: Bacon, Kier...more

Nathanael gave to: The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures by Dan Roam read in June, 2010	My rating:
