For God, Family and Republic

Some might not already know, but I am an avid reader. Likewise I am a Top 500 Amazon Book Reviewer out of over a million plus reviewers some five years and going. My high status owes to the fact that I have written some three-hundred reviews, mostly of books. Some people have written many more, though I have no intent of playing catch up. I also freelance for publishers from time to time.

Overall, Amazon.com is a solid e-commerce provider with good customer service and good prices. In general, the Internet has been a real boon for book readers because it has brought a medium for comparison shopping to the average consumer, and makes a vast inventory of books available at competitive prices.

I have several hundred books in my personal library on various subjects: mostly history, jurisprudence, and theology. (Some can tell me I need to get a life and quit reading all the time. But I enjoy reading, and learning for its own sake. Better to be deemed a bookworm than fritter my life away with reckless recreation and overindulgence in alcohol like the weekend warriors. Besides, if I wanted to live a more pointless existence than I would watch NBC Primetime...) How do you spend your free time? Think about it.
