Doubt
John Patrick Shanley
Theatre Communications Group
, 2005
"What do you do when you're not sure?"
I saw "Doubt" this weekend down in the Twin Cities. While you are more likely to see a national touring company of a Tony Award winning musical, such as "The Light in the Piazza" (which we will see in a couple of weeks), Tony Award winning dramas do make it out to the ...
Security Metrics: Replacing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
Andrew Jaquith
Addison-Wesley Professional
, 2007
Every security professional (or wannabe) should read this book
I'm not sure what I can write to sway you to buy or read the book if 5 star reviews from Ben Rothke and Richard Bejtlich don't sway you but I'll throw my likes and dislikes in here anyway. I'm not a "metrics guy" in fact, I'm still not , but I do think the book puts ...

A Prayer for Owen Meany (Modern Library)
John Irving
Modern Library
, 2002
One of his best
This was such a good book. I did not want it to end so I read it very slowly. The movie was awful, however.
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Random House, 2006
Solid concepts plus anecdotes and research to back up
I first read about Dweck and her research in a NYT article on child development. This is the dose of reality that we all need after years of "positive thinking" mantras. Without responsibility, action and growth-orientation, we block the positive path and fail to ...

Excellent resource for English teachers
I reguarly listen to the radio series on NPR, and I teach English composition at a community college. Recently, I decided to have my students write their own "This I Believe" essays. Though I originally bought the book (and had my students buy copies) so that I could ...
Christianity for Modern Pagans: Pascal's Pensees
Blaise Pascal
Ignatius Press

A pleasure to read
Mr. Kreeft does it again in this book about Pascal's 'Pensses'. He picks up Pascal's best or most important 'pensees' and gives us his view of them. He does not intend to explain or interpret them, since they are to be interpreted individually by each of us, but he ...

A Fearsome Doubt (Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries)
Charles Todd
Bantam
, 2003
Doubting one's self as a cop is NOT good.
I always enjoy Charles Todd's mysteries. They are so well-written, and the history of the time period after WWI is so interesting. It's hard to realize in this day and age, with America's 'war' with Iraq, how lucky we are. We as a nation will not forget those who died ...
