Today at the Booknook we have a hardcover copy of Donald J. Trump's Think Big and Kick Ass In Business and Life. Tump has always believed in working hard to get what you want, what with him working from 5AM to after midnight every day. Mike Huckabee, supporter and friend said once he had a hard time keeping Trump's hours, and I bet he's not alone!
​His point is, you can sit on your ass and whine about not being rich, or you can get off your butt and KICK ASS and get filthy rich. Some people would rather just sit around and complain, but for those who would like to fly in private jets (maybe their own jet), travel to exotic locations, eat like a king, and perhaps, one day, become president the United States, this book is for you!

We've covered The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia by Tim Tzouliadis in previous posts, and although this is a very grim book by a British born Greek writing about American baseball in Moscow, it does have a funny moment or two.
In one case, the US Ambassador to Russia was hosting a big dinner party and the ambassador suggested to his wife, after observing the pathetic quality of the gaunt and emaciated cow, the only one they could find in Moscow, that they display the horns to assure guests that they weren't dining on horse meat!
