The Average American Male: A Novel

getdriver85, April 10, 2009

As a man i had to read it, approve of our portrayal. I got more than i bargain for. A hilarious story and his encounters with friends and family and complete strangers. It's a must read.

Tales of Ordinary Madness by Charles Bukowski
Tales of Ordinary Madness

getdriver85, April 6, 2009

Not his best work, definetely. A whole lot of stories that go on and on...ranting. I'm a huge Bukowski fan, Seriously, but Tales of Ordinary Madness is just not a good book unless like me you have read almost (if not all) his other books and really don't mind reading crap just as long as it's by Charles Bukowski.

How I Became Stupid by Martin Page
How I Became Stupid

getdriver85, March 29, 2009

Hilarious! It's a Must Read! I couldn't believe I had never heard of this book. I found while randomly searching through the shelf and it was worth every penny! Even more. I would buy again just to make sure that the author is compensated for amazing literally skills! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! TAKE A CHANCE AND YOU WILL SEE!

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

getdriver85, March 19, 2009

Incredible account about the inner workings about the way business is done with countries around the world and how control is kept over weaker third world countries. Perkins explains the systematic rape of the poor and helpless it's a must read for any reader wanting to understand a little more about our world, the world bank and the IMF!
