Leveling the playing field with the IRS
Very well done book which helped me with my problems with the Irs. The forms that IRS sends when you want to offer a compromise were baffling (just like any government form). The Tax Debt book helps to get through the paper work, and the real life examples in the book are great. You still have to do the footwork, but the IRS will cut your tax bill if you know what you're doing. It wasn't easy to deal with IRS on your own, but it's impossible without a book like this. Knowledge means money when you're fighting the IRS!

A wonderful person..
I have to tell the truth here.. I havent read the book. So I cant really comment on the quality of it. But I have flipped through it.. and read bits and pieces. TONS of great quotes are in it.. as well as some helpful strategies. I dont really have a problem with fear.. so this doesnt really apply to me...

BUT I have done something as good if not better than reading this book.. I worked for Mr. Sean Hockensmith for 2 years before I had to leave for school. If hes reading this.. I have to say.. "Sean.. your probally the best boss Ive ever had." This guy started his own business and is successful at it. And Im sure hes used the strategies in the book to be successful in life. Hes a wonderful person, with a warm heart, a great boss and a successful bussiness man. He has the background of a successful life.. so thats what makes this book perfect...

If you have even read this far.. Do me a favor.. Buy the book.

Once again.. if your reading this Sean.. 'Good luck, and thanks for being a great guy'

The Stockholm Syndicate

A very original espionage mystery!
And a Colin Forbes novel which does not feature Tweed and co., like his other entertaining books in that series. Jules Beaurain is the leader of TELESCOPE, an unofficial anti-terrorist squad which is illegal but tolerated - they have overpowered everyone from bank robbers to nuclear terrorists! But they may be facing their most deadly enemy - the SYNDICATE of the book's title, who are spreading their influence into the highest reaches of power, including the White House, by using one Litov, a top Soviet agent. As both sides outwit each other across Europe, the net closes in . . . This novel, despite being written in 1982, is still a thrilling adventure even today. The action never stops after a bit of a false start, and Colin Forbes demonstrates that he visits the locations featured by describing them so well. Denmark and Belgium are countries I have visited and could relate to those parts in particular. One of his best reads.


Strange Constellations : A History of Australian Science Fiction
Published in Hardcover by Greenwood Publishing Group (1999)
Authors: Russell Blackford, Van Ikin, and Sean McMullen

Elegant, enjoyable and expensive
'Strange Constellations' is one of my best reads for a long time. I may be exhibiting a little (healthy) Aussie bias but perhaps that would make me all the more critical if the product did not stand up. The academic style is totally appropriate, elevating objectivity and providing the keen reader with an opportunity to check sources and interpretations. Given the literary achievements of the authors, I expected a good read so this technical edge is a bonus.

The early focus on the romantic origins of science fiction in Australia is an eye-opener for me and I will be sure to review some classics, on the fringe of the genre, in a new light. The hard-nosed analysis of the booms and busts is, again, appropriate. In the second half, the book moves from analyses of periods to an author-by-author account. This does not seem quite as 'critical' as preceding chapters...

Whimsical ride
If you are a Kurt Vonnegut fan, you'll love this book! The story is about Streekler Boglash, self-educated astronomer from the Deep South who is whisked away from his cat farm by a nefarious alien.
This whimsical irreverent science fiction satire combines the best elements of stories like Cat's Cradle Gulliver's Travels. A new author with a unique outlook that will appeal to fans of Robert Anton Wilson and Tom Robbins. Thoroughly enjoyable ride!

Struggle and Love: From the Gary Convention to the Aftermath of the Million Man March (Milestones in Black American History)

From the Gary Convention to the Million Man March
"Struggle and Love: 1972-1997, From the Gary Convention to the Aftermath of the Million Man March" is the sixteenth and final volume in the Milestones in Black American History series. Actually this volume covers milestones from Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm announcing her bid for the presidency in January 1972 and ends with the death of Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown in an airplane crash over Croatia in April 1996. Mary Hull covers a lot of ground in seven chapters.

(1) "Unity Without Uniformity" looks at the convention in Gary, Indiana in 1972 when eight thousand African-Americans delegates with diverse political goals. While they failed to crate a new black political party, let alone a single black political agenda, they were able to create a sense that "All things are possible." (2) "Mixing Southie and Roxbury" examines the forced integration in Boston that began in the fall of 1974 with the busing of students. (3) "To Get Beyond Racism" focuses on the issue of affirmative action, begun during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and challenged by the 1978 Bakke decision that ruled the policy was essentially reverse discrimination. (4) "Rolling Up Their Sleeves" looks at the political success of blacks, from Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition campaign for the presidency to the election of L. Douglas Wilder as governor of Virginia and Carol Mosley Braun to the U.S. Senate. (5) "From 'Roots' to Rap" looks at how African-Americans have transformed the culture of the country from Toni Morrison winning the Nobel prize for literature to Michael Jordan becoming the most famous athlete on the planet. (6) "Criminal Justice" contrasts the "Scottsboro Boys" being found innocent 45 years after their convictions with the Rodney King riots and the O.J. Simpson trial. (7) "Putting the Chain Back Together" looks at the Million Man March in October of 1995 conceived by Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan as a fitting counterpart to the Gary Convention of the opening chapter.

Hull's focus in this volume is on the struggle for leadership and focus among African Americans who have to deal with the desire to build consensus and the necessity of accepting the diversity of black politics. In that regard, the "Unity Without Uniformity" slogan popularized at the Gary Convention holds true. By taking more of an issue-oriented approach than a standard chronology, Hull is able to focus on important themes that establish the current concerns of African Americans. This is certainly appropriate because once you get to the present you are no longer dealing with history, but rather with politics. "Struggle and Love" is illustrated with black & white photographs and underscores that during this period, more so than anytime before, blacks in the United States are able to set their own agendas, cognizant of the cultural and economic problems that continue to exist.
