JQP’s Book Review:

(One * don’t waste your time unless your at a dentist office etc. Four plus****, you should pick it up, or let me know I will loan it to you.)

Getting Stoned with Savages****

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0767921992/026-1347047-4859606?v=glance&n=266239
(The best in show, good read. Fix yourself a cocktail, sit in front of a fan on a hot summer afternoon and enjoy a trip.)

The Yes Man****

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0091896738/026-1347047-4859606?v=glance&n=266239
(Not speaking UK, I had a little bit of difficulty, but this book did make me stop and think, don’t buy into the new-age free your mind shit, the premise is you don’t really know what will happen if you say yes, but chances are it was meant to be.)

In Search of Captain Zero***

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/026-1347047-4859606?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books-uk&field-keywords=In%20search%20of%20Captain%20Zero
(I used to surf, granted not very well, but at least I was out there, this is a story about searching, for an old friend, and almost finding yourself in the journey. Very real life.)

Bury Me Standing**

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/067973743X/103-8355908-6312656?v=glance&n=283155
(A study of the gypsies, without the romance, the author did have some very interesting points about commonality in culture between long term oppressed peoples. This is the kind of book you had to read for your Anthro. 101 class, back in Junior College.

Roughneck Nine-One**

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/103-8355908-6312656?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=stripbooks%3Arelevance-above&field-keywords=Roughneck%20Nine-One
(I got this to see what was new in my old career field, other than a lot of new toys it’s the same, Ego’s, Bad-Asses, Bull-shit, Bravo and automatic weapons)

Contract Warriors*

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/103-8355908-6312656?url=index%3Dstripbooks%3Arelevance-above&field-keywords=Contract+Warriors&Go.x=10&Go.y=7
(I wanted to see what the folks I was in boots with were up to these days, it turns out, about the same as Roughneck Nine-One, but making a shit load more money, which lead me to wish I didn’t have all these Anabaptist ethics and morals.)

The Sexualized Child in Foster Care***

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/103-8355908-6312656?url=index%3Dstripbooks%3Arelevance-above&field-keywords=The+sexualized+child+in+foster+care&Go.x=7&Go.y=7
(Work stuff: Thankfully a short read, it flushes out some issues that most people would not think of. I would say if you ever want to be a foster parent it is a must read.)

Best Friends Worst Enemies***

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/103-8355908-6312656?url=index%3Dstripbooks%3Arelevance-above&field-keywords=Best+Friends+Worst+Enemies&Go.x=6&Go.y=10
(Work Stuff: How children relate and act interpersonally, who knew little girls could be so mean? It however is a hell of a trip down memory lane, that is if you want to take it.)

Divorced Dads Survival Book****

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/103-8355908-6312656?url=index%3Dstripbooks%3Arelevance-above&field-keywords=Divorced+Dads+Survival+Book&Go.x=11&Go.y=10
(Work et al. Since it seems everyone I know is going through a divorce, I thought I would pick this up and see what ideas I might be able to give them. I am going to by this book for a couple of guys I know, yes its that good.)

I remain the Oprah of the Outlaw set:
