This book is much more than just a political commentary, it's a wake up call to every American to beware of how the masses are manipulated and controlled.

The 5000 Year Leap

A growing number of people in this country are waking up to the fact that America has changed. It's somehow veered off course and gotten away from the very concepts that made it unique in the world.

It will tell you the reasons why our founding fathers structured our country and our government the way they did. You will know what we have to do to make it great again. You'll learn about the 28 Principles of Freedom that our founding fathers said must be understood and perpetuated to maintain peace, prosperity and freedom.

Deadliest Catch

Do you watch the Deadliest Catch program on Discovery Channel? I'm hooked on that program so I had to find out some insider info and get more scoop on what it's really like fishing for crab on the Bering Sea. I found books by the captains on my favorite boats, Sig Hansen of the Northwestern and Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand of the Time Bandit. You'll learn the history of these boats and the men who run them. Both books are written in a similar style that will keep you interested to the end. You get a lot of information you won't see on the show. If you're a fan, you'll definitely enjoy these books.

A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity

Whether you like him or not, this book by Bill O'Reilly is a good read. He tells of his time growing up and tells you what experiences and events shaped his views and made him into what he is today.

Here's a short excerpt:

The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years old. Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon understand, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid's School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one.

Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigid's because I was, well, a little nitwit. Not satisfied with memorizing the Baltimore Catechism's fine prose, which featured passages like "God made me to show his goodness and to make me happy with him in heaven," I was constantly annoying my classmates and, of course, the no-nonsense Sister Lurana. With sixty overactive students in her class, she was understandably short on patience. For survival, she had also become quick on the draw.

Then it happened. One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: "William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity."

And she was dead-on.

By using humor and a little self-deprecation, he tells life lessons that many will identify with and the story of how O'Reilly became O'Reilly.

If you're a fan of Bill O'Reilly, definitely buy this book. If you're not, well, borrow it from the library, but read it anyway.
