"Saving Milly" by Mort Kondracke is an incredible book. For those of you that watch Fox News, you may know Mort as a political analyst for the network. The book is about the struggles of dealing with his wife's Parkinson's disease. It is very moving.

rich dad poor dad, the road less traveled, the Bible could go on but short on time.

"Why Men Don't Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes" by Barbara and Allan Pease. I highly recommend it for anyone who is or ever will be in any kind of relationshipo with the opposite sex. If everyone read this book, I think there would be fewer divorces and conflicts within relationships in general.

Oh yeah...also "Fat Land" for anyone who wants to know why Americans are so obese and who's to blame.

It isnt true. I'm all into those "motivational" "business-guru" type books (actually ill listen to the audio cd') ... and i had Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It just basically teaches you to think outside the box when dealing with financial issues in your life.

It's a good book in the sense that it does help you see things differently, but so much of it is already common sense. Majority of the book questions if the house you own is an investment or a debt.

The only way to make money in business is to take business risks. Sometimes, the more you lose, the more you learn. Maybe I'll start up my own supplements website ....... wait, SC took care of that!!!

Want a quick book to read that helps you deal with change? Read, "Who Moved My Cheese" ...It's short, and worth the lesson.

"A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking

I think I saw it earlier "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu

Of course the George Orwell classics "Animal Farm" and "1984" <----this is where we are heading.

"Brave New World" Auldus Huxley <---- this is where we're heading if the far left takes control.

It's a less simplistic view of things, but not as popular as 1984 due in part to the lack of backing from liberal school teachers.
