Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neo conservatives Subverted the Reagan Revlolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency. By Pat Buchanen.


Interesting book. I think conservatives, liberals and libertarians all would find it a fascinating read...particularly if you're a lover of history...which Buchanen clearly is.

I too am reading Verbal Judo. Great book. Thompson is hilarious. We watched the video and went through the training in the Police Academy. It has gotten me out of quite a few situations unscathed.

It is such a fun book, isn't it? I will often read a couple of pages over my breakfast. I am always amazed at how little I actually learned about some of the included topics. Sometimes I get frustrated that they don't go further into some of the included articles.

Fritjof Capra's The Tao of Physics

Pakua, how is this book? I've seen the title a couple of times but never picked it up.
I'm stuck between the writing for the layperson (not quite enough) and the hardcore textbooks (too much, at times!) ...I have a lot of catching up to do on my math!!!
