Control by Glenn Beck
While I disagree with Beck's politics pretty much across the board, I enjoyed this book (almost in spite of myself). I take everything e says or writes with a grain of salt, and while he committed some of the same failures of logic here that he accus...more

Brock rated a book 4 of 5 stars
Detroit by Charlie LeDuff
As interesting and well-written as it was depressing.
Brock rated a book 5 of 5 stars

Douglas Adams
“The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

Douglas Adams
“Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.”
Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Sam Sheridan
“So yes, get prepared, but don't "be first"—don't start talking about *us* and *them* already, because then you're making *them* into the *other*, and that's when the shooting starts. Far too many of the survival books I've read go there, way too early. You're becoming part of the problem; you're not the hero, you're the bad guy. It's all *us*.”
Sam Sheridan, The Disaster Diaries: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Apocalypse

Douglas Adams
“All you really need to know for the moment is that the universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking it's pretty damn complicated in the first place.”
Douglas Adams

Abigail Van Buren
“You could move.' ---"Dear Abby" responds to a reader who complained that a gay couple was moving in across the street and wanted to know what he could do to improve the quality of the neighborhood.”
