Third Millennium Press, 2008

THE best financial book on the financial situation in the US today
I have read many books concerning the state of the US economy and this is the best. She expounds on positions touched on by Ron Paul, Bill Bonner and Edward Griffin so that you have a much better understanding of what they mean. Some books like this can be a chore to ...

Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)

Dave Barry

Berkley Trade, 2008

Kept me laughing
This was a pleasure to read. He kept me laughing throughout the book. I especially liked the way he would unexpectedly make an allusion to some modern personality while writing about a historical event or person. To appreciate Barry's humor, one has to have a basic ...

Powerful, majestic good sense

Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes: Part One: Millennium Approaches Part Two: Perestroika

Tony Kushner

Theatre Communications Group, 2003

A Wonderful Read
After watching the Angels in America DVD, I wanted to see how it was originally as a play, and it does not disappoint. In many ways, I think it's a better experience reading this play than it was to see it on my tiny television. Angels in America is essentially a ...

Ethics for the New Millennium

Dalai Lama

Riverhead Trade, 2001

the Dalai Lama transcends factionalism, denominalism
(sorry in advance) anyone who isn't moved by the kindness & compassion; the hopeful sayings of HH the Dalai Lama is either too cynical or not in touch with the needs of our complex/complicated 'society'. His wisdom-compassion for all of humanity (and others), his lack ...

Why We Hate Us: American Discontent in the New Millennium

Dick Meyer

Crown, 2008

Shallow as a kiddie pool, then deep as an ocean
Inconsistent little book here. Dick Meyer starts out with what is basically a hundred or more pages of whining about American culture. He whines about peoples' attitudes and the press and politicians and what's on TV. It gets old quickly and it's ironic, because ...

Millennium Cookbook: Extraordinary Vegetarian Cuisine

Eric Tucker, John Westerdahl, ...

Ten Speed Press, 1998

Great Cookbook for Gourmet Meals
...weird that omnivores come on here to rant about vegans. I guess no one else listens. Anyway, I really like this cookbook. I have made a few items that have all come out colorful, tasty, and nutritious. I like the variety of grains AND vegetables that are used. ...

Angels in America, Part One: Millennium Approaches (Angels in America)

Tony Kushner

Theatre Communications Group, 1993

I love this book!
I'm a college student majoring in Theater Design. I had to read this play for one of my classes my freshman year. So I sat down expecting to plod through a story that I'd never read again. Boy was I shocked! I loved it! I couldn't put it down until I'd read the ...

The Man Without Qualities Vol. 2: Into the Millennium, from the Posthumous Papers

Robert Musil

Vintage, 1996

Nothing less than five stars!
The last reviewer obviously does NOT appreciate Musil in any true sense. There are no "unnecessarily longwinded, only somewhat interesting, conversations" --the reader who thinks this way has definitely ignored Musil's central concept of "Essayismus," which is ...
