Book Review: Baking For Your Dog, Ingeborg Pils
Ingeborg Pils did a fantastic job when putting together her book ‘Baking For Your Dog: Tasty Treats For Your Four-Legged Friends’.
essentially no more than a glorified cookbook for the niche market of loving dog owners, it was still an enjoyable read. her introduction reminds not to cook anything with toxic properties for dogs, which a surprising number of people have no idea about even if they have owned a dog for decades. no grapes or raisins, onions or chocolate.
The book is broken into sections for the vegetarian owners, for dogs who prefer super treats, healthy biscuits. most of the recipes are pretty yummy sounding even for humans, which is very okay as everything in this book uses human grade food.
examples of things i would eat from this cookbook:
- Crunchy Pumpkin Crescents
- Bonnie’s Banana Cookies
- Crispy Bacon Rolls
- Mimi’s Muesli Muffins
- Apple and Carrot Dumplings

Review: Swans and Pistols, Leon Bing
Swans and Pistols: Modeling, Motherhood, and making it in the Me Generation………this was NOT my kind of book. i have read a number of Autobiographies and i can typically find something enjoyable in each of them. Bing’s book was difficult at best, like slogging through a swimming pool of oatmeal at worst.
she led an interesting life for sure. the book takes you through key moments in her life from being a kid to having a kid, doing drugs to dating a coke dealer, modeling to writing.
ultimately, i dont want to disrespect someones life story, so i will minimize the nitpicking.
instead, i will state that i do not feel she is a good story teller. she approached her life story with a lack of zeal. her stories seemed cold. i didnt feel like i was reading a book about her as much as a textbook that… Read the rest

Book Review: Shake the Devil Off – Ethan Brown
![9780805088939[1]](http://www.fnordinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/97808050889391.jpg "shake the devil off")
i did not enjoy this book but my wife did.
after 3 chapters, i was wishing i had never started it. being a true crime buff, i thought this would be up my alley, but really couldnt get into it.my wife however, clearly liked this. it is not one that she would have picked up on her own. she stated that it should be read for the story, but if no other reason exists, to raise awareness of how our troops are mistreated and psychologically damaged/misdiagnosed upon their return to home after wartime.
personally, i think i can get the same perspective from a book about the reagan era and an afternoon watching Rambo films.
perhaps in a year, i will be able to finish this book.
my 1 star and her 4 star equates 2.5 rating listed here. -

Review: The American Rifle, Alexander Rose
Simply put, this book was fairly amazing.
Who would have thought you could read a whole book about Rifles and find it interesting from beginning to end.from the origin of the musket, the riffling process where its name comes from, to the historical movements influenced by its use..
this reads like a meandering plotline with no standardized characters.
it was very rare when i felt like i was slogging through a text book, and more often like i was watching a well written history channel segment.. minus the commercials of course :)
