Title: “Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change”

Author: John Hagee

Rank: 100

Blurb: “Just as in biblical times, God is controlling the sun, the moon, and the stars to send our generation a signal that something big is about to happen. The question is: Are we watching and listening to His message?”

Review: “Personally, I suspect that the Temple will be rebuilt. I have already described the events of the next few years as I ‘decode’ them in my last book, End Times and 2019. I think the Antichrist will enter a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem on June 6, 2016 (I already have at least five clues pointing to this date) – and this will be the focus of the book I am currently working on.”

Title: “Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain”

Author: Daniel J. Siegel

Rank: 40

Blurb: “Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important, and oftentimes maddening, ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another.”

Review: “There is no way I could imagine an adolescent reading and enjoying this book.”

Some days you wake up covered in blow, screaming in agony, unable to stay on your feet.

Okay, there’s a cheat here — it’s a ceramic squirrel. Kinda spoils the fun, doesn’t it?

Or not:

A South Carolina woman was held on a domestic abuse charge for allegedly stabbing her common-law husband with a decorative ceramic squirrel when he came home late on Christmas Eve without any beer.

Now that’s journalism: A sentence that could have happily ended after “squirrel”, but continues for three additional clauses, each topping the last. We’ve seen entire movies with less story.
