"Top five books ever written... if you care to understand a thing about human civilization, travel, immigration, commerce, and conquest, that is. Standage has one of the most refreshing voices and well covers a subject that is so familiar to people that they haven't a clue how little they truly know about it. Guilt as charged, too... :)" Dec 02, 2014 03:19AM

"America is one year away from its entry into WWI, one hundred short years ago.

I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone wanting to get a glimpse into the American experience of that conflict. The timing couldn't be better, either, as countries seem to be pulling at the seams... and a lot of different views on patriotism are floating around.

This is a superb read, built on the diaries of five gallant men."

Jane Wilson-Howarth
“I reckon that blaming people fixes nothing. You're the only person who is going to sort you out. No-one else really can - or really cares, enough. That's what Nepalis know - better than anyone. That's our Western disease. Don't take responsibility. Take on a lawyer!”
Jane Wilson-Howarth, Snowfed Waters

Philip Yancey
“How differently would the world view Christians if we focused on our own failings rather than on society’s? As I read the New Testament I am struck by how little attention it gives to the faults of the surrounding culture. Jesus and Paul say nothing about violent gladiator games or infanticide, both common practices among the Romans. In a telling passage, the apostle Paul responds fiercely to a report of incest in the Corinthian church. He urges strong action against those involved but quickly clarifies, “not at all meaning the people of this world. . . . What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside.”
Philip Yancey, Vanishing Grace: What Ever Happened to the Good News?

Greta Christina
“And every time we hear people talk about Heaven or angels or past lives or their loved ones being in a better place and looking down on them right now, we’re reminded: “Oh, yeah. We don’t think that. We think that when we die, we die forever. We don’t think our dead loved ones are with God. We think that they’re fucking dead.” We have to face death a little bit, every day of our lives. It’s like an inoculation.”
Greta Christina, Comforting Thoughts About Death That Have Nothing to Do with God

Edward R. Murrow
“The right of dissent, or, if you prefer, the right to be wrong, is surely fundamental to the existence of a democratic society. That’s the right that went first in every nation that stumbled down the trail toward totalitarianism.”
Edward R. Murrow

“Fanaticism is overcompensation for doubt.”
