ISBN-10: 0-7860-1934-4
A few years ago, I recall hearing and seeing a few news reports on the serial killer who targeted prostitutes and fed their remains to his pigs on his farm. I was actually [at the time] surprised to realize that it was already going to trial and I was only [...]

NurtureShock
New Thinking About Children
by Po Bronson and Ashely Merryman
ISBN: 978-0-446-50412-6
When I cracked open my copy of Bronson and Merryman’s NurtureShock I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Would it be the equivalent of a condescending lecture on how one should be raising their kids or would it instead be a dry collection of statistics and [...]

Then Man Created God
The Truth About Believing a Lie

Chosen By A Horse
by Susan Richards
Truth be told, I did not know what to expect when I picked up this book. It’s been at the top, or near top anyway, of several book recommendation lists for animal-lovers which, I must confess, is what helped to draw me in. After all, there is nothing worse than [...]

Sundays with Vlad
by Paul Bibeau
I was rather fortunate enough to be gifted with a copy of this book, and I am exceptionally grateful for this. Until that very moment I had not even heard about this book let alone contemplated reading it and after having finished reading this book I can honestly say it [...]

Birth of an American Family
by Geoffry Moehl II
First of all, I must disclose that the version I read of this work was provided for me by the author himself and was contained in a .pdf file. Thus the copy that readers pick up off the bookshelves in their local booksstores may be an edited or [...]

Running with Scissors: A Memoir
by Augusten Burroughs
My first knee-jerk reaction to this book and it’s shocking contents was a jaw-dropping oh dear I cannot believe there are real people like this. It was like watching a horrible and bloody accident unfold on the side of the road. You see the blood and body parts splatter [...]
