5 out of 5 stars An insightful book about overcoming the capture of local government and public opinion by big business. Some of the ideas might be fanciful (e.g. harming a truck tire with pea pins fired from a pea shooter) but the ideas of collective action and collective support have been repeatedly shown to work. Give a copy to people (young and old) who need the encouragement to participate in collective action.
5 out of 5 stars This was an excellent story with information about the world and characters unfolded over the book. The characters and stories are very engaging and well written. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in the series.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent Discworld book! Sam Vimes is sent as ambassador to Uberwald and leaves Carrot in charge of the Watch. The Stone of Scone has gone missing in Uberwald when it is needed for the inauguration of the next dwarf king. Captain Angua (von Überwald) goes missing and Captain Carrot abandons the Watch to find her. Leaving Sergeant Colon in charge which doesn't go well for the Watch or Ankh-Morpork.

Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution 5 / 5 stars A pointed, definitely anti-conservative, sometimes profane analysis of white supremacist roots of the Constitution of the United States of America. Elie has a distinct writing voice that some might find offensive, but I urge you to look past it and absorb the history he is sharing and his clear eyed assessment of our Constitution and possible ways to make it better for everyone. Definitely read the Epilogue for his candidate suggestions for improvement.
