Really enjoyed this. I see some people are writing novels of their own, just to say hope much they hate it. Which is just weird.
There are no pure heroes. Some are better than others, but all the characters have their flaws. There is magic, but it’s wild and fairly uncontrolled. The politics and character flaws drive the story.

I enjoyed this one. A different take on legal novels. Kept me guessing to the end.
Only 4 stars, though, because I feel the ending wasn’t set up well. I won’t say more because I don’t want to spill anything. But after it ended I felt it had been a bait and switch.

Highly recommend this book.
My dad was a marine, and took pride in that fact. I didn't know Much about Butler until I came across his "War is a Racket" speech. This book is a great biography.
It's not really about Butler, though. It's about the imperialism he fought for and then fought against. It's about how the US created a kitty of problems in the name of profit, and how we keep doing that.
Highly recommend this book.

Some good idea, as long as you have the privilege to implement them. It aunt's you have other people to do the "non-essential" things you deem to be beneath you.
When I was a teenager I worked on my dad's construction crew during the summer. When I complained about the boring stuff I was doing, he said "You want to do exciting stuff, but i need you to do what's needed."
I think there's a reason most of his examples are executives. Quite honestly, most executives could just not show up and still be considered successful. Front line workers still have to actually do the work.
