Am currently reading The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won’t Learn in College About How To Be Succesful, on Instapundit’s recommendation (how much money do use suppose Reynolds has made Amazon over the years). It’s maybe the book I’ve been looking to read for a long time. Money quote, on the Art of Earning a… Read More You can be a Millionaire, once you figure out how to earn a Million dollars

A while back, I wrote an essay, which some of you may have… Read More A Man May Never Have Too Many Books
Though I nodded to its inevitablity on election night, I am bone-weary of the circular firing squad.
