It sure wasn't what I expected. A little far fetched even for science fiction, but good just the same. Now turn into a whale so you can fly through space.

The audio quality of this "book on tape" was so poor that I couldn't listen to most of it. I tried so many methods.

I suppose I will need to find an actual book on Negro Leagues to get more info.

This book was pretty great. I hadn't picked up the DS9 relaunch series in over a year, and chapter 3 did a a great job of catching you up on what the heck has been happening and who all these people are. returnreturnMuch of the book is focused on the Breen and Starfleet Intelligence's investigation into them. A fascinating "species" that we didn't get nearly enough of on T.V. but that's a perfect reason to get this whole new perspective here. I really hope we get more Breen in the future. returnreturnBashir is re-united with the Jack Pack who convince him to help SFI because Sabrina is there. Hubb-hubba. returnreturnI don't give it 5 stars because I felt the sex scenes were unnecessary and Bashir killing people doesn't seem like a correct character. I'm pretty sure my teacher would have assumed I was making stuff up if I wrote a book report.

After reading this I am even further convienced that I am not sensitive. However, I had a better understanding of what an empath actually is. It is not NECESSARILY a bunch of tree-hugging-hippie crap, but some of it is, the idea that a black crystal held close to you will help you makes it so far out there that I really wanted to through out the baby with the bath water. returnreturnI hae had a number of relationships that have claimed to be empaths, including my wife. Based on Dr. Orioff's description I may well be an "energy vampire" making it even more struggling that I would be attracted to ladies like this. I know it is part of the whole opposites attract. I suspect that if Judith were our consular she would recommend we divorce. Luck for me my wife is even more committed to the sacrament of matrimony than I am. returnreturnThis book is certainly aimed at the sensitive. But there is some value in the loved one of HSPs reading this as well. It isn't easy reading, it is hard not to just dismiss Orioff as a whack-job, but ya do what ya can.

This one takes a "life story' of a minor character who appeared in one episode of the show. The story of Rugal is of a Cardasian boy whose was orphaned during the Occupation, raised by Bajorrns and on a trip with his adoptive dad to DS9 he was kidnapped and brought back to Cardassia wher his birth father was a politician. He fights with his own mortality, identity, tries to just fit in, tries to over though the state, starts a terrorist group and eventually joins the military, while trying to navigate his new country. I can't do this one justice with a simple review, if you love anything about Star Trek, pick this one up.

I liked this book. I am surprised by how much I, an anti-government Libertarian, really appreciate the post office ever since taking a class on Stamp Collecting at Cub Scout camp. I miss having a PO Box when I was "forced" to go to the Post Office everyday to see the new stamps and what have you. returnreturnGallagher does a fairly decent job walking us through the history of the animal that is the Government/Business of the USPS. returnreturnHowever from her writing it is very clear that she is a Northern Progressive with little respect for southern conservative folks. I doubt she even realizes that it comes across that way. She focuses a lot more on the first 150 years than the last 100, but she claims because there wasn't much to draw on. returnreturnI'm glad that the US didn't try to get the Post to run the Internet as she claims would have been the natural progression. I couldn't imagine the cluster.returnreturnNothing to write-home about, pun intended, but interesting and worth the read regardless.

Hmmm. It is difficult to rate. As far as a scholarly work it seems to do well, as far as how I can apply it to my life as a conservative Catholic who has struggled with infidelity I don't know. I had hoped to spur good conversation with my wife based on its content but all it did was make her depressed that there was no hope for true love.

I love the movie. The book however is slow paced and not riviting. My wife claims teh series is fantastic, but it was certainly not enough to make me want for more.
