There is nothing freaky about Economics. -
I personally loved the chapter, "Why do Drug Dealers Still Live With Their Moms?." That chapter made absolute sense to me. It is quite shocking that the average crack dealer earns approximately $3 an hour, has the most dangerous job in the country (as far as death rate per 1,000 workers), and of cou ... (

A College Student that ignored this book should not be a College Student at all.

This book is very educational and extremely important for students and their families. You can save a lot of money, you can be more wise in your financial decisions, and you can enjoy life in a much better sense since obviously being debt free is something to be proud of during your college years.

The most detailed series of events of the most current war in Iraq. The U.S. soldiers are true American heroes and this book shows how hard working, committed, and loyal these soldiers were.

Even people who dislike reading will not get their hands off this book. -
With a little mix of suspense and horror, Stephen King once again shows how extraordinary his writing style and creativity is. Everyone has thought of themselves as having a good side and a bad side in their personality traits. Well this book, just make those clash into an amazing novel.

Nice book to read when bored in high school.
-
This book does not contain the best of story lines, but it is adequate for those occasional times when you are bored and have nothing better to do and/or doing something that is a waste of time.
If you like Stephen King, then go to your public library and check it out. In my opinion, it is not wort ... (

Has a Stephen King novel ever make you think about life?
-
This is a great novel by Stephen King; one of his greatest works. Personally in my opinion I would say it was his Magnum Opus. They later made a very popular film based on the novel with Tom Hanks as an actor (Hanks is remarkably outstanding in most of his films)and the movie was superb. This is a b ... (

The author is a highly intellectual philosopher that engages in mind provoking arguments that are very sound and interesting to read. It opened up my perspective on certain areas of my life (which I am grateful of) that I was very reserved about. This has personally been my favorite book of the year. This book is insightful, and it is great for both current lovers of philosophy and those who are curious about what philsophical perspectives are all about. This book has inspired me to become a more rational, more thoughtful, and more self-reflective human entity. If I had to recommend only one book from the ones I have read in 2011, this one wins the title.
