A collection of random thoughts, and a collection of poems, I have written over the years. I have Bipolar Disorder so my mood reflects the way I write at the time. Mostly I write the "random thoughts" part when I am manic or in a elevated mood, the poems are primarily written in a depressed mood. Enjoy

This book contains the "ramblings" random thoughts from the original complete book. the complete book is available as well as the poem collection in a 3 book series.

This may be the oddest book of its kind that you'll ever read. It's a memoir of a sort, an autobiography, in much the same way that crumbs dropped on the forest floor are a pathway to the old hag's hut where Hansel and Gretel are held. If you collect the crumbs as you walk, you'll have a sum greater than its parts at the end of your trek-a surprisingly coherent account of a unique personality, an incorrigible individualist, fiercely independent, defiant of tradition, who is sometimes profound and insightful and sometimes trite and narrow-minded, highly original but not necessarily admirable. Most important, the author is someone who thinks, which challenges readers to think. And whether or not you're sympathetic to his way of thinking, one thing is clear: he is above all else rational.

From America’s preeminent columnist, named by the Financial Times the most influential commentator in the nation, a must-have collection of Charles Krauthammer’s essential, timeless writings. A brilliant stylist known for an uncompromising honesty that challenged conventional wisdom at every turn, Krauthammer dazzled readers for decades with his keen insight into politics and government. His weekly column was a must-read in Washington and across the country. Don’t miss the best of Krauthammer’s intelligence, erudition and wit collected in one volume. Readers will find here not only the country’s leading conservative thinker offering a pas­sionate defense of limited government, but also a highly independent mind whose views—on feminism, evolution and the death penalty, for example—defy ideological convention. Things That Matter also features several of Krautham­mer’s major path-breaking essays—on bioeth­ics, on Jewish destiny and on America’s role as the world’s superpower—that have pro­foundly influenced the nation’s thoughts and policies. And finally, the collection presents a trove of always penetrating, often bemused re­flections on everything from border collies to Halley’s Comet, from Woody Allen to Win­ston Churchill, from the punishing pleasures of speed chess to the elegance of the perfectly thrown outfield assist. With a special, highly autobiographical in­troduction in which Krauthammer reflects on the events that shaped his career and political philosophy, this indispensible chronicle takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the fashions and follies, the tragedies and triumphs, of the last three decades of American life.

In this unauthorised autobiography, Chuck Barris, the wildly flamboyant 1970s TV producer who brought us The Gong Show, bares all. In January 2003 Miramax will release a major film based on this book. The star studded cast includes George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and Brad Pitt.
