DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, I have posted numerous essays and other commentaries on Facebook. They are of varying length on matters of politics, law, history, personal matters, and other subjects as well. My first book on social musings contains 142 Facebook posts. My second book is a continuation of my posts, an additional 118. My third adds another 104. My fourth adds 78 more. My fifth adds another 85. My sixth book includes another 116. Book 7 adds 106. Book 8 adds another 82. Book 9 adds another 82 for a combined total of 916 essays, commentaries, notes, etc., all taken together as social media musings. As I’ve said throughout this series of books, I believe in an informed citizenry that relies on facts, logic, critical thinking, and reasoned judgment. At a time when too many people rely too heavily on social media and the misinformation from those sources; at a time when anger and rage too often replace common sense and critical thinking, it is hoped that the essays and social commentaries in this series of books on social media musings will inspire dialogue and further citizen involvement in their communities.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 'The Collected Works of Friedrich Nietzsche', readers are taken on a journey through the philosophical musings of one of the most influential thinkers of the 19th century. Nietzsche's writing style is characterized by its poetic and often controversial nature, challenging traditional beliefs and inviting readers to think deeply about the human condition. This collection includes essays, aphorisms, and full-length works that cover topics such as morality, religion, and the concept of the 'Übermensch'. Nietzsche's work is a cornerstone of existentialism and has had a lasting impact on Western philosophy. His sharp wit and keen observations make his writing both thought-provoking and inspiring. Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas were shaped by his own struggles with illness and existential questions, providing a personal touch to his philosophical explorations. His unique perspective on life, society, and the human experience continues to be relevant today. Readers interested in delving into the depths of philosophy and grappling with existential questions will find 'The Collected Works of Friedrich Nietzsche' to be a valuable and enlightening read.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the creators of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Useless Information comes another enlightening, entertaining, and ultimately useless assortment of trivia. If you find yourself transfixed by the most trivial of trivia, or mesmerized by the most minor of minutiae, The Useless Information Society's latest findings can satisfy your every need. This wide-ranging collection will fill every nook and cranny of your brain with information you'll surely never need, but will enjoy learning anyway! Did you know... - that penguins can jump six feet out of the water? - that everyone is color-blind at birth? Would you care to know... - what the first meal eaten on the moon was? - what country drinks the most Coca-Cola? (Hint: It's not the United States.) In 1995, a secret society was formed comprising Britain's foremost thinkers, writers, and artists to trade and share in useless information (or, as founding member Keith Waterhouse, playwright and journalist, would have it, "totally bloody useless").

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe zombie has cropped up in many forms—in film, in television, and as a cultural phenomenon in zombie walks and zombie awareness months—but few books have looked at what the zombie means in fiction. Tim Lanzendörfer fills this gap by looking at a number of zombie novels, short stories, and comics, and probing what the zombie represents in contemporary literature. Lanzendörfer brings together the most recent critical discussion of zombies and applies it to a selection of key texts including Max Brooks’s World War Z, Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, Junot Díaz’s short story “Monstro,” Robert Kirkman’s comic series The Walking Dead, and Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Within the context of broader literary culture, Lanzendörfer makes the case for reading these texts with care and openness in their own right. Lanzendörfer contends that what zombies do is less important than what becomes possible when they are around. Indeed, they seem less interesting as metaphors for the various ways the world could end than they do as vehicles for how the world might exist in a different and often better form.
