In Great Company
by Michael J. Seidlinger
Genres: Fiction
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.95

"You'll never be alone in hating me and you'll never be alone in fighting to keep me interested."There, in that non-space of the pseudo-social, the About Me box demands the pouring of your identity representation for all to see, to judge, to imitate, to ignore. And what begins as a self-expression balloons in continuous polemic, as though the very words in that confined box threaten to dismantle the social media architecture itself. A blistering, poignant howl against that illusory digital kingdom of the frivolous and the condemned ego on display. Truly an anti-social media novel. The input box awaits: login.“I've never read anything like this before: A disembodied voice that comes from the Internet, like Notes from the Underground but even more underground.”Noah Cicero, author of Best Behavior.“If a single mouth grabbed up every blog and squeezed them crush-tight in its jaw, then the bursting shrapnel, the blog-ooze running liquid down screens, it would be Michael J Seidlinger’s In Great Company, an unsympathetic and computerized rant, a book readily swimming in ego.”J. A. Tyler, author of A Man of Glass & All the Ways We Have Failed“Our relationship to the egotistical narrator’s slippery, yet bold monologue steers the refreshingly unique approach to plot through the dark undercurrents of social networking. The masterfully navigated urgency carries us through its wavelets of nuance. The book begins by treating us with ironic disdain, so we are put in an unusual vigilant state of mind yet we agree to slipstream. As with a similar method in hypnosis, it startles us awake inside the trance.”Tantra Bensko, author of Lucid Membrane

Reconsider Me: My Life And Times With Warren Zevon
by Rae   Murphy
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.30

VERSION II Warren Zevon. We can relate to this strikingly unique man. We listen to his thoughts and feelings through his music. He spoke of love, heartbreak, loss, redemption and much more. The story begins with a flashback to the 70's. A young woman strikes out on her own with her four year old son and makes her living tending bar at a local biker joint. Her resilient voice in this story clearly illustrates what struggling to survive means for a young mother on her own. Daily encounters with the Hell's Angels, including the leader Michael Angelo, would lead to unpredictable behavior and unexpected friendships. A fateful connection occurs when Warren Zevon steps into that same bar, one summer evening. By Maya Angelou: "You can write me down in history with hateful, twisted lies, you can tread me in this very dirt, but still, like dust, I'll rise." Warren Zevon

My Seductive Cuba
by Chen Lizra
Genres: Travel, Nonfiction
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.37

Enough books have been written about Cuba to fill an entire library, but few take the approach Chen Lizra does with “My Seductive Cuba.” Deeply personal and always engaging, Lizra — an Israeli-born dance instructor and entrepreneur now living in Canada — fuses history and politics with her real-life experiences among the people of this often-visited but little-understood island. The result is a moving portrayal of Cuba on the verge of historic change. Packed with practical information on where to go in Cuba, what to pack and the best ways to get there, “My Seductive Cuba” also helps readers ferret out persistent opportunists while finding Havana’s best reggaetón, flamenco, jazz and salsa clubs. A glossary of Cuban slang and a description of the Santería religion — along with a vivid chapter titled “Getting Possessed” — makes Lizra’s humorous travel guide even more compelling. This is one book you won't want to be without, even if you don’t plan on going anywhere!
War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
by Chris Hedges
Genres: Nonfiction, Politics, History, War, Philosophy, Military Fiction, Psychology
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.12

As a veteran war correspondent, Chris Hedges has survived ambushes in Central America, imprisonment in Sudan, and a beating by Saudi military police. He has seen children murdered for sport in Gaza and petty thugs elevated into war heroes in the Balkans. Hedges, who is also a former divinity student, has seen war at its worst and knows too well that to those who pass through it, war can be exhilarating and even addictive: "It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living."Drawing on his own experience and on the literature of combat from Homer to Michael Herr, Hedges shows how war seduces not just those on the front lines but entire societies, corrupting politics, destroying culture, and perverting the most basic human desires. Mixing hard-nosed realism with profound moral and philosophical insight, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is a work of terrible power and redemptive clarity whose truths have never been more necessary.Listening Length: 6 hours and 27 minutes

by Ronald A. Martin Jr.
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.43

When was the last time you have taken a few moments and paid close attention to what is going on in America? Have you noticed how fast this once great nation is fallen? When will the decline stop? We are going through the worst economic decline since "The Great Depression", the unemployment rate is the highest it has been in over twenty years, and the national deficit is at 14 trillion dollars and climbing every second. If none of this has affected you or someone in your family, how long will it be before it does? We are all only a crisis away from being included in the 3 million foreclosures (as of 2010), or the 15 million unemployed (as of 2010). Why is the federal government playing such a major role in our daily lives, when they can't seem to keep their own house in order? With the collapse of the economy and so many out of work, home invasions/robberies have skyrocketed. Are you prepared? I'm hoping that the information in this book can help you get prepared. If nothing else, open the eyes and minds of the millions that are totally oblivious to any of what I just mentioned.
