More books

So, I have been very negligent in my traditional posts about the books I have been listening to and reading. I usually have a summary and thoughts, but, this time, I write only the titles and the authors. All were pretty good, even the ones written by liberals. Excluded from this list are a couple that were not good, and I stopped listening too (including one written by a very extremely funny liberal with a wonderful talent for good writting, but whose humor was too blasphemous for me). All were checked out from the Ann Arbor Public library, which is amazing. If anyone out there has listened to any interesting books lately they would like to recommend, let me know. Here are the books (with their official titles), pretty much in the order I listened to them:
