He's so opinionated!

The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals
it was amazing
The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI’s Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals
by John E. Douglas
I read this book because I worked in parallel fields for many years and also for research into some current writing projects. Anatomy of Motive is a good read, informative without going into horrific detail. A good source book.

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace
it was ok
Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace
by D.T. Max
1) I vacillated between a 1 or 2 star rating for Every Love Story is a Ghost Story.
2) I read this side by side with Jonathan Eig’s "Ali: a life" (a better book if you’re into biographies, my opinion).
3) I opted to read Every Love Story…

Ali: A Life
it was ok
Ali: A Life

Colossus:The Forbin Project
it was amazing
Colossus:The Forbin Project
by D.F. Jones

No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need
really liked it
No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need
by Naomi Klein
This is an interesting book that (in my opinion) doesn’t go far enough. Yes, some may claim there’s a problem and Klein does a dynamite job detailing what that problem is.
Where are the actionable solutions? Where are step by step plans…
