Amidst the thousands of trashy romance novels and old magazines, thrift stores occasionally offer up books that are actually worthy of purchase. I found two such books tonight.
The Google Story by David A. Vise and Mark Malseed The title pretty much describes the book, yes? “Inside the hottest business, media, and technology success of our time”. There is a website for the book here.This one has been on my “to buy” list since it was published in 2005. $37.00 new or $3.99 at a thrift store – take your pick. Of course a lot has changed since 2005 but this will do for the history up to then. |
Sweeter Than All the World by Rudy Wiebe Although I don’t read a lot of fiction, especially historical fiction, this book by acclaimed Canadian author Rudy Wiebe is appealing to me because the history involved is very close to my own. My background is Mennonite and my mother’s maiden name is the same as the author’s.I’ve read the first few pages and they are amazing. |
