Reading magazines on the iPad (via This is What I’ve Learnt)

Offers his experience and thoughts in what makes the iPad good for reading.

Book Review: Customer Reviews: False Economy: A Surprising Economic History of the World

One of the Amazon reviews says it perfectly.

The real suprise with this book is that is was published. The book has no coherent theme or direction. Conclusions are drawn hastily without developing a supporting narrative. Poorly written, and without any factual references. A much better book on a similar theme is The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor by David S. Landes.

I agree. Lots of random facts and no real purpose.

Book Review: The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House 9780762759705: Melissa Anderson: Books

Amazon.com: The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House 9780762759705: Melissa Anderson: Books. This was disappointing. It was more a guide to the episodes than the motivations and feelings behind things. I was hoping for more behind the scenes info and this book did not have it. I would skip this one.
