"If Democrats Had Any Brains They Would Be Republicans" by Ann Coulter, I know I'm a true WABer because I immediatly thought of Bluesman and Dale when I recieved it for Christmas. Decent book I want to read her other works now. I would reccomend to any Republican tired of hearing Republicans endlessly bashed in the media.

I've usually been so busy I haven't taken the time to read a book, only magazines. So I've decided to be a good influence on Ashley and I am going to start with the Harry Potter series.“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” ~ Jimi Hendrix

I am currently reading [U]The Ghost Mountain Boys[U] It's the story of the Red Arrow Men, the 32d ID and the first battles in New Guinea. While the author is not an historian, he is a decent story teller. Would have loved for Atkinson to have given this battle a treatment.“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

"The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. This book is on our summer reading list for all Advanced Planning Language students for next year! Ashley will be reading it and I am going to read it as well as "The Great Gatsby" by F.

OK, it is not a humorous book even if it is a work of marvellous fiction! :))
"Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."
