Lullaby Road by James          Anderson

Anderson never disappoints. Lullaby Road is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler‘s great noir titles, though set in the contemporary Utah desert and told in a unique voice with many fantastic turns of phrase.

The Way of Men by Jack   Donovan
“Strength, Courage, Mastery, and Honor are the alpha virtues of men all over the world. They are the fundamental virtues of men because without them, no “higher” virtues can be entertained. You need to be alive to philosophize. You can add to these virtues and you can create rules and moral codes to govern them, but if you remove them from the equation altogether you aren’t just leaving behind the virtues that are specific to men, you are abandoning the virtues that make civilization possible.”
Jack Donovan
The Tactical Guide to Women by Shawn T. Smith
"Women, read this book. Then read the book written for women by the same author. I plan to. If the man in your life is trying to be a better man for you show him your appreciation by becoming a better woman for him. Great insight into who we are as wo" Read more of this review »

“The healthiest relationships have room for both male and female strengths.”
Shawn T. Smith, The Woman's Guide to How Men Think: Love, Commitment, and the Male Mind

“Acceptance doesn't mean tolerating unhealthy relationships or problem behaviour. In relationships, acceptance has two key qualities. First, it means being willing to recognize that your partner, right here and right now, is struggling too. It means allowing for the possibility that his motivations might be good and constructive, even if it doesn't feel that way. It means not getting caught up in the belief that he's wrong or doesn't care about you, and instead embracing the possibility that he's doing the best he can. He may even be trying to make you happy--but in a way that only makes sense inside the male mind. Acceptance also means embracing the formidable task of empathizing with your partner's struggle when you least want to do so.”
Shawn T. Smith, The Woman's Guide to How Men Think: Love, Commitment, and the Male Mind

“Good men are a bit like border collies: we're happiest when we're useful. That's why the life of a good man involves constant striving for direction and meaning.”
Shawn T. Smith, The Woman's Guide to How Men Think: Love, Commitment, and the Male Mind

“Strength, Courage, Mastery, and Honor are the alpha virtues of men all over the world. They are the fundamental virtues of men because without them, no “higher” virtues can be entertained. You need to be alive to philosophize. You can add to these virtues and you can create rules and moral codes to govern them, but if you remove them from the equation altogether you aren’t just leaving behind the virtues that are specific to men, you are abandoning the virtues that make civilization possible.”
