Millionaires don't get there by working hard for others and saving pennies, insists this high-wire personal finance self-helper. Instead, "master coach" Langemeier urges the nonwealthy to quit their jobs, start businesses, plow money into real estate and other "aggressive, unconventional" investments, construct a maze of tax-minimizing business "Entities" and amass "assets that create more assets." The result is dramatic makeovers of people like Mike and Mary, a mechanic and laid-off administrative assistant with two kids; Langemeier quickly convinces them to start a dune-buggy company, buy 12 rental properties and a promissory note and turn their family into a financial empire consisting of two limited liability companies, an "S corporation" and "a trust to serve as an umbrella for all of their companies and holdings." The author calls this taking personal control of one's finances, but doing so, she emphasizes, requires a vast support staff of lawyers, accountants, realtors, business... See less

Mark Haddon has written a moving novel about love and bravery through the eyes of a British autistic boy. Christopher discovers his neighbor's poodle dead, impaled by a pitchfork, and, because he adores puzzles, he sets out to solve the mystery of who killed Wellington . But Christopher is autistic, a boy who doesn't like to be touched and cannot decipher emotions beyond the tools his teacher has taught him, and so the task requires the huge effort of testing rules and facing his own fears. A literalist by neurology, he deconstructs life into a set of mathematical equations and physical laws. This unique perspective makes him a good detective on one level, where clues and logic rule, but it also fails him on another, higher one because he cannot understand the magnitude of what he uncovers.

At the least, book six in the Harry Potter series does what it needs to: it moves the characters along in their personal and magical development; it fills in some previous gaps of knowledge; especially with regard to Voldemort's past; it continues to raise the level of urgency and danger as previous books have, it adds a few more mysteries/cliffhangers; and it ends with a clear pointing toward a final climactic battle. The problem, though, is that the book does the least one would expect and no more. Placing it in the context of the earlier books, I'd argue that book three (Prisoner of Azkaban) is the strongest book so far. It's leaner than the last three, more focused, and has the greatest emotional impact. After Azkaban, I'd put book five (Order of the Phoenix) as the next strongest. Though a bit overlong, especially in the lengthy battle scene at the end, Phoenix shows a growth in character (especially in the admirably risky way that Rowling allows Harry to be an unlikable teenager)...

This book should really be read twice. It is one of the most powerful books that I have ever read. It is poetic, and yet very precise and concrete, about the state of things as one perceives them in nature. First he explains what is the Quality without a Name. Then he proceeds to distinguish it in our acts of construction by highlighting it in nature. I have to confess that I am currently biased by General Systems Theory, Emergence and all these relatively new concepts, and cannot help but analyze this book from that perspective. It is a wonderful book that talks about stability in natural systems, and how this very beautiful and poetic stability is reached through natural processes. Nature has a way of 'stabilizing' its own systems. Nature itself is constantly changing in order to cope with this ever changing conditions. The author assumes heavily that human beings, when letting themselves be free and at peace, are able to identify at the most profound levels with stable systems in... See less
