Pretty interesting analysis of outliers and how and why they became successful during their time.

So this is a hard book to read. At least for me it is. I really liked the story line of how a fireman who job was to burn down houses and books so no one has an understanding of the past and the authors of the past. The fireman had secretly seized a few books and read the books. He realized that there was more to life and understanding and turned against his own people!

This is a fantastic book! This should be a required reading for college students so they can understand that socialism/communism/marxism just simply does don’t work. Power in controlling the mind is the goal and is pretty much what is going on right now. Congress (inner party) controls the “truth” and society (paroles) believe every word. Anyhow, I did not see the plot twist coming!

Just finished part 2. Well that was unexpected!

I can’t put it down!

First 2 rules, stand up straight with your shoulder back, and treat yourself as though you are caring for someone else! 2 perfect rules so far.

I’m currently reading meditations by Marcus Aurelius, translated by Gregory Hays. So far so good. I will, however, need to return to this book several times to grasp the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius.
