I’m about halfway through a book entitled “Fortunately” by Remy Charlip.  The book is about a young boy named Ned who embarks on a journey, and about the ups and downs he faces during his travels.  The book is chalk full of twists and turns and will have you at the edge of your seat.  I’m guessing if you do pick this one up you’ll have a really tough time putting it down.  At one point in the book Ned is surrounded by sharks and is surely done for, what happens next is…well, you just need to read the book for yourself.  “Fortunately” by Remy Charlip…two thumbs up.

The Blue Pages Cover

I was looking through an interesting book today entitled “The Blue Pages, A Directory of Companies Rated by Their Politics and Practices”.  It looks like a very interesting read on which companies donate how much to each political party.

The book provides the information in a way that is easy to understand.  A slide bar with a donkey on one end and an elephant on the other shows the percentage of money given to each political party for each individual company.

Just thumbing through the book was an eye opener for me.
