Shine on, friend. I will miss so much her humor and inability to master the use of computers and log-ins.  And the on-going, never-ending Scrabble and Words with Friends games she played with me and DodgerBlue where she always kicked our asses.

She was one of a kind.

Feel free to share any thoughts below, stinquers.

Time to lean, time to clean your clock.Title: “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead”

“Author”: Sheryl Sandberg

Rank: 12

Blurb: “Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers.”

Review: “The best message to take from this book is to be aware of what is going on in the workplace. Take the opportunity to change the inequality.”

Footnote: Acknowledgements, page 175: “My deepest thanks go to my writing partner Nell Scovell.” As noted by the fucking brilliant Jesus Christ, Silicon Valley, Sandberg’s “writing partner” is nowhere else listed as co-author (or, more likely, ghostwriter). The real message of the book? Hog all the credit to yourself.

Cream for a Day.Title: “Abuse of Power [Bargain Price]”

Author: Michael Savage

Rank: 68

Bargain Price: $0.41

Blurb: “Jack Hatfield is a hardened former war correspondent who rose to national prominence for his insightful, provocative commentary. But after being smeared as a bigot and extremist by a radical leftist media-watchdog group, he ultimately loses his job and finds himself working in obscurity as a freelance news producer in San Francisco.”

Review: “I consider myself conservative, but I grew a bit fatigued being beaten over the head repeatedly with political views.”

Customers Also Bought: Nineteen other books by Michael Savage, and one by Mike Lee.

Footnote: With the price so low, you can buy multiple copies and throw them out as the pages stick together from jacking off to radical leftist media-watchdog groups getting their comeuppance.
