A few weeks ago a copy of
What You Should Know About Politics But Don't: A Nonpartisan Guide to
the Issues by Jessamyn Conrad turned up in the mail from Arcade Publishing.
In 13 snappy chapters Conrad covers it all. I read a chapter a day (give or
take) and at the end of the first week I was a whiz on Elections, the Economy,
Foreign Policy and the Military, not to mention Health Care, Energy and the Environment. By the end of the second week I'd got my head around Civil Liberties, the Culture Wars, Socioeconomic Policies, Homeland Security, Education and Trade.

"There are three rules for running a business; fortunately, we don't know any of them." - Paul Newman in
Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good
Paul Newman, actor, philanthropist and businessman is dead, but his legacy will
live on - not just on supermarket shelves where his smiling face will hopefully
grace the bottles and jars of Newman's Own products for many years to come, and
in his more than 50 movies, and in the lives of the thousands of sick children he has
touched and will continue to touch through his
Hole in the Wall Gang camps - but also on bookshelves
through his witty,
inspirational and informative 'business' book,
Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good, coauthored
with fellow Newman's Own business partner, writer A.E. Hotchner.

Welcome
to my all new BookBrowse blog.
The plan is that this blog will be about a bit of this and a bit of that, and
probably a bit of the other as well. Expect to find thoughts on recently
read books and book related news, information about new features that we're
(always) adding to BookBrowse, raves about sites I love, and who knows what
else!
Please feel free to comment on the postings. To do so click on the

asked for your name and email address (the former shows on the page, the latter
doesn't).
