The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man by Paul   Newman

A unique book about one of the more admirable stars to come out of Hollywood in our lifetime. This "memoir" is actually drawn mainly from a series of interviews that Newman did about two decades before he died. He is unguarded and honest, laying out ...more

The Elementary Particles by Michel Houellebecq

Much of what you might expect from a twentieth century French novel: deep intellectual pondering, existential angst, and lots of sex. The sex, however, is over the top, and we're not talking about tender romance or even naughty erotica -- by any stan ...more

Reckless Daughter by David Yaffe
Rate this book
Clear rating
A solid bio that anyone with interest in the 60s/70s music scene is sure to enjoy. Joni was in the middle of it all for many years. A bit too much hero worship, but still a page turner.

Quotes by David Niose  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When libertarian sentiments take a populist form, it looks like this: a mix of anger, fear, anti-intellectualism, and fierce government hostility. Welcome to the Tea Party movement.”
David Niose, Fighting Back the Right: Reclaiming America from the Attack on Reason

“If corporations are people, they’re not the kind of people you’d want to take home to meet your parents. Imagine a person who is totally self-absorbed, greedy, phony, amoral at best, and downright immoral at worst. And if that’s not bad enough, corporate “people” are also rich, immune from physical injury, and, for all practical purposes, immortal.”
David Niose, Fighting Back the Right: Reclaiming America from the Attack on Reason

“Real humans stand no chance of long-term success in opposing corporate power until legal steps are taken to force the corporate sector to submit to the public interest. To do this, a constitutional amendment is necessary.”
David Niose, Fighting Back the Right: Reclaiming America from the Attack on Reason
