"Since has been updated to 140 Hikes (who knows, maybe more?). I find his descriptions a little hard to follow, but maybe that's the point when getting away from it all."

"Somehow, I sort of had a feeling that Barbara Streisand is responsible for all that's wrong with the world. I've known that ever since "Yentl" came out."

"Gosh, I beat the market this year by sticking my money in a mattress, but I didn't go and write a book about it."

"For those of you with a checklist view of life, and can't make up your own mind. It would seem to be something Newsweek readers would enjoy. There are a lot of the usual places you've heard of, and then supposedly great restaurants and such (high end, of course). Pretty much places all over the world, although more in the US. You may want to get out of the car or spa a few times while checking these off. This is the first edition of the list."

"Maybe for even younger than 9 year olds. How do you know there's a monster in your sandwich? It's too heavy to lift. (And it gets worse)"

"Facts that the typical 2nd to 5th grade boy would find fascinating. For instance: Mummies (that were found in post-Pharoaic times) were boiled. As they were boiled, the oils released by the mummy were skimmed off the top. This "mummy oil" was used to treat bruises."

"Each joke worse than the last one. What paper product always dozes off after lunch? the NAP-kin. What's round and found at the bottom of the ocean? A Meatball Sub.

"Well, America seems to be doing pretty well right now, maybe thanks to a president who didn't even make the list."

"Loose use of nomenclature - claims Copernicus "invented" the solar system. Gives a list of web sites for finding a lot more information."

"Great book - Of course, covering 13000 years of the history of 2 continents can't be anything more than a survey. Very dense (at least by the standards of the books I read), it took me 3 months to read. Makes a stab at showing both sides of all controversies (and there are many), although he comes down on the side that there were more people in America in 1491 than previously postulated."

"Interesting book, nothing like 1491. He finds a lot of obscure historical events that make you wonder why they were missed."

"this might work with 2nd graders, tried it with my top group of Kindergarteners, with mixed results."

"Biography of Jacqueline Rose Nunez Olivo, 1918 - (still alive, if the article published yesterday in the Mountain Democrat is correct), who grew up and lived near San Jose, California. No earth-shattering events in her life, in the opinion of this outsider, and maybe that's as it should be."

"I like his writing. "Community, Commerce, Constitution, Calvinism, and Conspiracy.""
