the happiest of new years…

hope holidays are good for everyone…

“interventions” – this is the book i should’ve reviewed last week – by the former UN president – it makes the case for the UN to be the leader in the world in political interventions – the honesty from annan was a strong suit – he was obviously not a fan of W Bush – but he perhaps didn’t address fully the limitations of the UN as well as he should’ve – that said, he argued persuasively for a strong UN

“the song machine” – as a fan of pop music, i LOVED this book – the story behind the current songs – most of which are made from former swedish metal guys:) i’m curious to see how many of 1D’s songs are written by euro guys – very informative book most of ya’ll would actually enjoy reading too

“the death of cancer” – very good book – doctor, through his daughter, tells of his 50 year fight as a doctor/patient in the war on cancer – there’s a lot that’s being done that people don’t know fully about – there’s a lot of hope – reasons to be optimistic – the book was an encouraging read
