In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People by George K. Simon Jr.
3.0
It has an outdated feel to it, but there's some good information in here.
Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Leonard Sax
4.0
Not looking for arguments, but I really liked this book, and it coincided with what I personally have observed.
Norman Rockwell's America by Christopher Finch
4.0
I adore Norman Rockwell. This is coffee table book, so maybe I don't get points for reading necessarily--but lots of good fun.
The Happy Hollisters by Jerry West
3.0
I read this entire series and...yeah, they're like the Bobbsey Twins or the Hardy Boys. Still, good for young children to glom onto and devour when they're reading.
The World Book Encyclopedia 2003 by World Book Editors
4.0
Oh, the hours I whiled away reading the 1968 World Book Encyclopedia (rescued from my Grandpa's basement). I wish I still had them now that he's gone.
Asterix the Gaul by René Goscinny
4.0
Read these in college. So fun! Even with my dreadful German, I could figure out enough of what was going on to giggle.
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
5.0
Sometimes surreal imaginings, sometimes philosophical musings, always funny, this is a classic comic strip.
The Butterfly Hunter: Adventures of People Who Found Their True Calling Way Off the Beaten Path by Chris Ballard
4.0
This is an inspiration--somebody has to hunt the butterflies. If you want to do it, why shouldn't you be the one?
Ben Franklin's Almanac of Wit, Wisdom, and Practical Advice: Useful Tips and Fascinating Facts for Every Day of the Year by Old Farmer's Almanac
3.0
I like reading the Farmer's Almanac, and this is another fun spin-off, comprised of old Ben's wit and advice. He must have been a truly interesting man.
Going Around in Academic Circles: A Low View of Higher Education by Richard Armour
5.0
A hilarious skewering of the college education, written back before the bitter fight over tuition fees really got heated up. It made me chuckle.
