Since I found myself in airports constantly I always have a book with me so I don't buy books along the way. But I was intrigued by this program from the Paradies Shops:
"Read and Return"
Buy it , read it, return it, receive a 50% refund!
The Paradies brochure I picked up listed at least 50 different locations in various USA airports thus offering plenty of opportunity to return the books you purchase. Should I lose a book or completely forget to bring one to read on a future trip I plan to utilize this re-purchase program.

Baby Boys
Having delayed parenthood for decades I am now the father of a handsome baby boy!!
So I am in search of recommendations from readers for great books to read to baby boys. He is a new born so "The Dangerous Books for Boys" is too advanced for him of course so suggestions are welcome. One college buddy of mine suggested the following books for me to read so I will pursue thinking these might be good books to hand down to our son:
Dobson's "Bringing Up Boys"
and
Robert Lewis' "Raising a Modern Day Knight"
Thanks for your suggestions,
Todd

Leave Us Alone
This weekend I just finished reading a manuscript copy of Grover Norquist's new book -- "Leave Us Alone" -- which is to be published in late March 2008 I am told. Mr. Norquist is president of Americans For Tax Reform, www.atr.org, based in Washington DC.
The book's title speaks for itself -- we want the government to leave our guns, our money, our families, and our basic freedoms alone (my wording) -- but you have to wonder how many public schools are going to stock this book in their student libraries don't you?
For me the best part of the book was the explanation of the need for a flat tax as the means to end the current class warfare that politicians create to pit different economic classes/taxpayers against each other. If we were all paying the same income tax rate THEN we would have some transparency in terms of government spending.
Buy a copy of this book then give your copy to a friend to help spread the word if you can,
