Oh Miro nabrang5 — This is one of the first Star Wars EU books that I have ever read, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I am a huge fan of the movies and a few of the video games, I have avoided reading the books for years and only picked this one up while house sitting a friend's house and having only their kids books to read (came down to this or some young adult romance). As I read on, I actually found myself interested in the characters (especially the Sith) and genuinely curious about the Jedi affliction and conflict with the Chancellor. I even came close to liking Luke Skywalker. After being pleasantly surprised by this book, I have read the next in the series and will definitely see the series out to its completion. I have also started reading other books in the EU such as the new Zombified Red Harvest

Marcin Szkolnicki promocjone — This is a very balanced overview of the economic history of the US since WWII and the crucial role that inflation has played over the last 65 years. Samuelson argues convincingly that Reagan's support of Paul Volcker's tight money policy was his single largest accomplishment in domestic policy--not tax or spending policy--that set the stage for the economic recovery of the 80s and 90s. Though I don't agree with all of his views, I credit Samuelson with presenting a fair, non-polemical accounting of the challenges facing the US in economic policy. This book does a particularly good job of showing how the obsession with full employment that developed in the 50s and 60s created a mindset in politicians and regulators that prevented the Federal Reserve from using the tools at its disposal to keep inflation in check. Another important take away from this book is that while the inflation of the 70s is commonly attributed as a policy failure of the Carter administration, this was a problem that had been brewing for several decades which both Democratic and Republican presidents had struggled with. In calm and reasoned prose, Samuelson discusses the need to reform entitlements pointing out that the welfare state "has in part created a reverse Robin Hood effect: It sometimes transfers income from the struggling young to the relaxed old." For anyone who wants a wider understanding of the historical context of our current debates on economic policy, this is a very worthwhile and relatively quick read.

Agência Ufirst ufirst — I had a very strange feeling reading this book, some sense of nostalgia, that I'd never experienced before. I don't know if it was because I'd seen the movies several times before reading the books (but I've done that before), or maybe the fact I knew I was reading something that has basically shaped the fantasy genre since its publication. At the same time I never felt bogged with cliches, because he made all those (now) cliches work. Now I can only shake my head in pity at anyone who tries to emulate elves or dwarves the way he did. I mean this basically in a copycat manner, like those Dragonlance books or Eragon or in video games (even some I love, like Dragon Age). There is just no way to beat Tolkien at his own game. Toward the end of this particular book, I actually began to feel a little emotional. When I finished the book, then started to read some of the Appendices, it dawned on me how much Tolkien must have loved Middle Earth. You just don't spend that much time and energy developing something so deep and so concrete without absolutely loving it. People can say what they want about his writing style (it bored me sometimes, I'll admit it), but no one can criticize his worldbuilding. Cultures, clothing, names, songs, poems, traditions, symbols, weapons, languages, holidays, politics, stories, legends, history--I used to be impressed with George R. R. Martin's world, but he's solidly in second place now. I don't think anyone can conquer Tolkien in that regard. I feel like, if he were still alive, you could ask him the minutest question about Middle Earth and he could answer it like it was a scientific fact. Or maybe his love of Middle Earth is just rubbing off on me.
