Make Room on The Book Shelf!
By Matt Margolis | July 24, 2003
When I first started this whole blogging thing, and was getting my blog into the whole “scene” I noticed many people would put their Amazon.com Wishlists on their blogs. Seemed a bit weird to me at first, but after a while, when noticed how commonplace this was, I said “Why not?” What’s the worst that can happen?
I’m not the kind of person who asks for freebies and gifts. I don’t expect many gifts for my birthday or the holidays either. However, I thought, “Hey, perhaps there’s someone out there who may decide that he/she likes my blog so much they want to contribute somehow by means of purchasing a book for me to read.”
One kind soul has done this.
George Turner, a commenter on this site, and a member of the Loyal Citizens has done a very kind deed, and purchase a number of titles for me off my Amazon.com Wish List.
The Other Path: The Economic Answer to Terrorism
The Myster of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs In The West and Fails Everywhere Else
Off With Their Heads: Traitors, Crooks and Obstructionists in American Poltics, Media and Business
The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left’s Assaults on Our Culture and Values
How I Accidentally Joined the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy: (and Found Inner Peace)
The Killing of History: How Literary Critics and Social Theorists are Murdering Our Past
Because of George’s kindness, I am going to read one of these titles next after finishing Basic Economics. Once I am closer to finishing that book, I’ll post a poll for my readers to decide which book I’ll read next.
I would like to once again thank George for doing this. I know that his kindess has gone around quite a bit to other Loyal Citizens, and I greatly appreciate his getting these books for me.

Hey George… I want an iPod…
I still gotta finish “Treason”, then I gotta go back to “Invasion” by Michelle Malkin, then I can maybe borrow one of matt’s books while he ain’t reading it.

In addition to playing that game, I’m a WWII history buff, a ni dan in aikido, an avid golfer and I play computer games to boot.
