Welcome!

I created this blog to catalog and create discussion on books I have read, I am reading and I plan to read. Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions or share your thoughts. Also if you have any recommendations let me know. This blog is a work in progress so I will be adding books I have read as my schedule permits.

The Buckets of Money Retirement Solution by Ray Lucia


A solid investment approach for saving and spending before and in retirement. Oh, and you can trust me I have an M.B.A.

The United States Constitution

The Overton Window by Glenn Beck


An entertaining "Factional" book. Beck uses extremely paranoid examples to make some general points about where he believes our American lives are heading. If you read this book right you will find he references many true events and you should spend the time to look up the events he points out.....and even the places he references.

The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey


Given to me by a good friend, I absolutely endorse this book and consider it required reading. It's amazing how much financial peace can reduce many of life's stresses. Read it and then Live it.

Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin


I enjoyed Liberty and Tyranny but admittedly I found myself putting it down frequently. I enjoyed some of Glenn Beck's works more such as Common Sense and Arguing with Idiots.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

My first Ayn Rand read. A warm-up to Atlas Shrugged. Admittedly, I have only listened to Atlas Shrugged on Audio and have not fully completed it. Both books are a good and show Ayn Rand's love of Capitalism through her fictional characters. Who is John Galt?

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels


This is a relatively short read; however it is a tough read in my opinion. I will need to read it again, most likely with a good beer in hand to better wrap my head around it. I love my copy in that it looks like they cut the pages using scissors so the book is not a perfect rectangle (Ironic that a book on communism would be of such poor quality).

The 5,000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen

OUTSTANDING! If you read one book your entire life, read The Bible. If you read two, read Skousen's Five Thousand Year Leap! Every American needs to embrace Skousen's 28 principles if they want to preserve this great nation.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis


Lewis makes an excellent case for Christianity. This is a relatively short book and an easy read depending on your desire to understand Christians. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a philosophical understanding of Jesus and his religion.
