If I were a prosecutor, and this new book was on trial, I’d be tempted to nitpick in front of the jury. Ultimately, though, that shouldn’t matter much at all because almost all books about movies combine lists that simply must be finite and therefore will inevitably leave something out, and opinions that by definition are subjective, which inevitably will dismay a few people. So nitpicking is no big deal. Absolutely par for the course.

Contrary to what one might think from reading the cover of the
book, it would be wrong to say that R. Albert Mohler Jr.’s
book, Desire and Deceit: The Real Cost of the New Sexual
Tolerance, is a “right jab” from the evangelical side of the
political spectrum. It would also be wrong to categorize Mohler as
preaching to the choir, which he actually is but that isn’t the
whole story either. Albert Mohler’s book is much more of an
exercise in educating the religious right so that they will have
their own ammunition to fight moral sexual degradation. It is an
educational lecture and a pep talk, if you will.

Candidly, I have to admit that before picking up a copy of Stephane Grenier’s Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share Their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile, High Traffic, and High-Profit Blog, I didn’t have a clue as to the unique culture of blogging and its implications. In truth, I was blown away with Grenier’s metrics wherein he states that there are 70 million weblogs and about 120,000 new ones each day or 1.4 new blogs every second. As Grenier cites, you can find these statistics and more interesting ones from Technorati.com. Undoubtedly, many of these blogs are a one shot posting, however, what about the ones that have been around for a long time?Why are the bloggers of these blogs successful and what makes them tick?

Publishers: Academy Chicago Publishers
ISBN: 978-0-89733-546-1
Alpana Pours is not like any wine book you’re likely to see on the shelves of your local bookstore. Instead of overwhelming you with arcane facts and vintages, Alpana Singh (TV hostess of Chicago’s “Check Please” restaurant review show on PBS) has written a lifestyle book centered on the subject of feeling comfortable around wine. It seems that for most people, wine can be a little intimidating. Most of us go to a nice restaurant, get handed a wine list, and then proceed to squirm in our seats, unsure what to order yet wishing to appear confident that the wine we select will be worth the big bucks we will pay out to enjoy this pleasure.
