Barrack Obama: Dreams from my Father

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American.

It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident.

This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.



Customer Review: Kenyan view

I read this book with great interest. First, from a curiousity standpoint; how does he see Kenya and does he understand it's complexity. Another perspective that i looked into was his obsession to find himself in his father. I'm Kenyan and know what a father means to one if absent. My dad died when i was eleven and i explored him alot-still do. My mother kept him fresh in our minds and i've concluded that the absent parent becomes the focal point of a young boy. Men,as many may disagree, will seek their father to relate to and will yearn and seek that figure,if they don't find him appealing when they find him, they become what they hope he was. I was enthralled that he is able to explain Kenyan issues i'm familiar with and places i've trod with such precision. Very titillating.


Customer Review: Dreams from my Father

It was excellently written and quite inspiring. It gave insights into the personality of our current President.

Verdict: must read. No matter if you like the man or not, no matter if you see him as messiah or just as another con man (which is more likely, btw.). This guy will have a major impact on our not-so-bright future. He is the friendly face that serves (voluntarily or as a "Manchurian Candidate") as a perfect fassade for the same old ugly bloodsuckers that run the US and most of the world. If this book is "true" and honest or mostly deception - it will tell you a few things about "the man".

Now on iPhone and iPod Touch: all your Kindle-Books!

Good news! No longer are lovers of literature limited in their choice of hardware.

Amazon's Kindle is an amazing device - but many just back off because of the price. And many already have a portable device, such as the iPhone or iPod Touch and do not want to carry more than one.

The screen of the Kindle of course is way more friendly to the eyes and has a much higher resolution (= letters more crisp) than those of the Apple devices. But for occasional reading the gadgets from Cupertino will do just fine and some books might even display in colour - opposite to the Kindle, who's display is b/w only.

The Kindle reader software for iPhone and iPod Touch will be available around NOW from Apple's AppStore - for free!

Delivery of the books will be different: while Kindle just downloads the stuff all on his own you will have to manually download books for iPhone or iPod from the Amazon webstore.

You can sync the books between your devices - say start reading at home on the Kindle, sync, run off, just carrying your iPhone - and continue reading on the road right were you stopped on your Kindle. Cool, eh?

In case you are thinking about buying an iPod by the way - currently there is a special promotion on Amazon where you can save a fluffy 100 bucks: click here for special offers on iPods! (but remember: Kindle Reader software is available only for the iPod Touch and iPhone, not iPod classic or Nano!)

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga.

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger.

In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.

With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?



Customer Review: You have to read them all!

I am on this book out of the 4. They are all good. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book. This book is cheaper to purchase here then in any store I have been to! I already have her newest book out for older readers. Once I am done with this series onto her next one!


Customer Review: Best in Series!

I gave a 1-star review on New Moon, but a 5-star review on Twilight and Breaking Dawn. I give a four star review on this novel also because it deserves it! I really enjoyed reading this book. Although it's not as deep as some other books I read, it's still an enjoyable book series. I wasn't a big fan of Bella in this book, because she came off as whiny and helpless. Jacob was great though, as always! All in all, it was enjoyable and I read it on a trip to the beach.

Dickens Genuine Leather Cover for Kindle

The Dickens Genuine Leather Kindle Cover (Chocolate Brown)

Once upon a time, you bought an Amazon Kindle and you had great expectations. It has changed your life, giving you instant access to every novel ever written, but there's a twist. . .

The generic black case and clumsy rubber-band closure can make yours a bleak house.

Designed specifically for your Kindle, this case is just like a good Dickens novel: classic and enduring.

Remark: made for Kindle 1, not sure if it fits well with the Kindle 2, might be a bit loose since the 2 is thinner. Did not test)

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed.

In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist.

The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi.

Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.


Customer Review: More Edward and would have been 5 stars

Before I say this, know that I have 4 kids and I am very busy. I have not been into books in quite some time, but I devoured the 4 books in one month.

This book is a necessary piece of the 4 book collection. It didn't go along with what I wanted to happen in the story line for a long while, but I found that it kept me on edge more than any other book in the series. I found myself crying and sometimes shaking with anticipation.

Only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is because of course I wanted more Edward!

Great Fun!!

Booklight: XtraFlex2 Light - (Blue, Kindle Compatible)


XtraFlex2 Light - (Blue, Kindle Compatible)



Customer Review: Good quality, bright, bluish, a bit pricey - will use

I received one of these (the black version) a few days ago and my verdict is that I am likely to use it when reading books at night.



Brief overview:



- 2 super-bright LED's with lenses

- light has more blue and very little red, or yellow (think of a steady neon light)

- uses 3 (THREE) AAA batteries

- 40-hour battery life (claim is made on the package, not verified by me)

- power supply not provided

- relatively long, flexible arm

- can turn on 1 or 2 LED's

- solid build

- a bit heavy but had no problem using it with a paperback



I will definitely use this lamp when reading books at night.

Note: is available in different colours.
