Very good book, but don't see how it relates to Obama other than seeming to be the opposite of what he's doing..

I think he's talking about the book showing what could happen if the government oversteps it's role and ruins the economy as a result, which would make President Obama something like the equivalent of Wesley Mouch.

It is a largely autobiographical work that was based on the spontaneous road trips of Kerouac and his friends across mid-century America. It is often considered a defining work of the postwar Beat Generation that was inspired by jazz, poetry, and drug experiences.

Exactly. I'm not picking on Obama per-se, but he seems to be the current catalyst for change leading down this path.
Excellent recommendation. Have you read anything else by AR, like The Fountainhead?
The Fountainhead, yes.
I'm reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine right now (yes, I am taking my time). When done, will start on The Virtue of Selfishness and then For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.

Lonnie Teper's new book "Man inside a thousand Schmoes" is a pretty good read...

Stephen Kings "The gunslinger"

that series was the best!! 'The Drawing of the Three' was incredible. i still quote something from it every few days. "that was before the world moved on, Roland".

I honestly couldn't get past the first book. I heard it was awful and the rest were good though-do you share this opinion?

yeah, that one really dragged on. i don't think it would be neccessary to read it to 'get' number 3. i've read it more than once and still feel suspense even though i know what's coming.

my fav quotes from memory
" control the things you can control maggot, and let everything else take a flying fuck at you. And if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing" Cort
" go then, there r other worlds than these" Jake
-
I know you said non-fiction, but I just finished "Gods Demon" by Wayne Barlow, it was pretty good for being his first book.
-
Liberty and Tierney by Mark Levine
-
"I Hope They Serve Cold Beer in Hell." Coming to your neighborhood theater soon.
Hard to believe that they could make a movie out of that one.
"The Informant" - The next Matt Damon flick - I only read the first three chapters so far but the prevues look like it's going to be damn humerous.
"Battlecry" - I saw it and decided to join the Corps as soon as I got out of school. Real Boot Camp was so much funnier!
"Old Yeller"..... makes ya cry.
"The Other Side" by Bishop Pike .... So controversial that it was never reprinted as far as I can determine.
"So Dear to My Heart"..... great reading for kids who love animals. Disney made the movie many years ago.
And one hell of a great read about a whole village in Europe eating fermented rye bread and going crazy killing everyone. The first victim was the family dog who ate some scraps thrown at him from the dining room table and immediately starts foaming at the mouth and kills the whole damn family, and the whole village proceeds to do likewise.
Anyone recall the name of that one? It was based on a true story in the 1800's.

Liberty and Tierney by Mark Levine
oh brother i thought it was spelled tearany

" control the things you can control maggot, and let everything else take a flying fuck at you. And if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing" Cort

i still use those two often. ' god pisses down your back every day, but he only drowns you once'

First Sharpe book from Bernard Cornwell.

I'm reading two books on organized crime right now that are really good:
"Gomorrah" by Roberto Saviano, a book about the Camorra, the organized crime outfit in Naples,
Italy and "Family Secrets" by Jeff Coan, a book about the Family Secrets trial, the trial that helped
bring down the Chicago Mafia.
