Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames by Thich Nhat Hanh
My parole officer recommended this book to me since I have a problem (I’m told) managing my anger.
It’s an excellent text and comes in handy when no other solid object is within reach.

Whale Watchers Guide Revisited by Patricia Corrigan
Thanks a lot. This book tells all the spots you may find me.
As a Humpback whale and elected leader of our pod I would like to say have a little decency and go stare at your own species for crying out loud. Don’t we have enough stress in our lives wondering when the next one of us is going to get a harpoon stuck in his bladder? How would you like it if a bunch of us whales piled into a minivan and followed you and your family around? Gawking at you and your offspring as you stand in line for your happy meals or doing what ever your brutish species does. Doesn’t sound like so much fun now does it?
Go fiddle with the banana slugs or mimes, nobody likes them anyway

| Organizing Your Family History Search: Efficient & Effective Ways to Gather and Protect Your Genealogical Research | |
| by Sharon Carmack |
This is an excellent text for organizing your search for identity.
My mother had always told us we were descended from Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca. Sadly after reading this book, organizing my search and digging up the real information the truth is not as notable. It appears our entire genealogy, after running the gamut of various asylums for alcoholism and insanity, dead ends in some bizarre incestual prison camp off the coast of Madagascar. A bit disappointing but it explains the cross-eyed ness and assorted tics that run unchecked in our family.

| Abstract Algebra, 2nd Edition | |
| by David S. Dummit |
This is a most excellent text although I’m partial to the impressionists.
