Boldly Posting Once Again

It has been quite some time since I've last posted. I blame my last fall semester at Chapman University. I'm not so sure my last spring semester is going to be any easier.

A new year means a list of the books I read last year! You'll see that I was in a very Nonfiction mood last year.

May 05 - "Lincoln" by David Herbert Donald (A Lincoln biography)
May 10 - "Media/Impact: An Introduction to Mass Media" by Shirley Biagi (Text Book)
May 17 - "A People's History of American Empire" by Howard Zinn, Mike Konopacki, and Paul Bahle (A Graphic Novel)
June 10 - "The Age of Missing Information" by Bill McKibben
June 08 - "Images of Our Times: 60 Years of Photography from the LA Times"
July 26 - "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James W. Loewen (History)
Aug. 08 - "Citizen Soldiers" by Stephen Ambrose (History)
Aug. 15 - "Bone" by Jeff Smith (Graphic Novel)
Aug. 22 - "George Sprott 1894-1975" by Seth (Graphic Novel)
Sep. 03 - "The New Kings of Nonfiction" edited by Ira Glass
Oct. 15 - "Cave in the Snow" by Vicki Mackenzie (Follows a Buddhist Nun)
Nov. 06 - "Shaking the Money Tree" by Morrie Warshawski (How to beg for money)
Nov. 10 - "Liquid Life" by William R. LaFleur (About abortion in Japan)
Nov. 14 - "Good Omens" by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchett
Dec. 07 - "Learning True Love" by Sister Chan Khong (A Buddhist Nun talks about her social work)

Let me know if you have any questions about any of these books. I'd love to talk about them. I remember most of them being pretty entertaining.
