Loic Bourdon laruche — This book is styled as a Choose Your Own Adventure, but is actually a lightly fictionalized tale of a couple's tumultuous relationship. The woman has alcoholism in a big way and the author winds up in a codependent relationship with her. It sounds like the plot of any number of quirky alt-romantic comedies what with the female love interest who is exciting but also crazy and high maintenance, but it's much more interesting - and real! - than any of those. The book was very intimate. Not so much with the lurid details (although the mechanics of foreplay are discussed at one point) but rather with the glimpses into the couple's years-long relationship. Each page covers a new interaction and the author describes the scenes and his thought process with a refreshingly direct writing style. My only beef with it was that although the fantasy Choose Your Own Adventure elements were clever I felt they weren't strongly enough tied to the main story - they mostly served to distract up until the very end when they're used as substitute for resolution. Still, it's well written and a quick read. And props to the author for baring his soul like this; that takes some stones.

Ryan Gao _aorui_ao — After listening to Waldman's interview with Krista Tippett, I looked forward to reading this one. Waldman does a superbly balanced job in describing the beliefs of the major founders of America: Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Madison. These men's beliefs, like everyone's, evolved over time. You cannot simply apply convenient labels to them. He concentrates on Madison, who had a major role to play in the shaping of the Bill of Rights, and particularly the 1st Amendment. He concludes by listing fallacies promoted in modern day culture wars. This book will be an important reference in discussions about First Amendment issues.

Sebastian Rivas sebv — My stepmother gave me this book to read. I took it with a bit of hesitation -- she can get very new-agey at times, too much for my atheist blood -- but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and dove in. I'm about 2/3 of the way through (just about to leave Indian for Indonesia) and it's been amazing. I've found myself (very uncharacteristically) reaching for a pencil to underline a particularly inspiring phrase, paragraph, whatever. (The "spiritual" part of the book I feared most -- too much "God", I worried -- but Gilbert makes sure she clarifies in the beginning that she uses "God" for lack of a better term. I have replaced it, in my own mind, as searching for "peace", and am taking so much away from it.)
