Hi Adam -- I should have mentioned in my earlier message that, while I might be ggchickapee on LibraryThing, I am Rose City Reader on my blog. :)

Adam --

How did you ever end up with a copy of Justice Denied? That's a pretty random book to have in your library! Did you read it?

I got a copy because my law firm represents the victims of childhood sex abuse and the author has worked with us on various projects. so I read it and posted a review.

Well, Adam; you share the same name as one of my grandchildren.

I read your reviews and you are getting started in the right direction, problem is as always the time when we all jump into a market it seems that it is dying before our eyes.

I liked your music and especially Untouchable. The guitar was quite well done and the singing was good as well.

Hi Adam!

Thanks for dropping by and asking about "Simplexity". I agree with your summary about the book and thought you did a great job on your review. (Nice website... I'll be back)

For me it was a book that was better NOT to read all at one time -- as you said, it lagged in places. In addition, I though it drifted. The chapter on Micro-banking sort of wandered off topic in my view and while the chapter on the stock market was interesting, I couldn't believe his results because he failed to mention the "trading programs" that most people at the time blamed for the volatility.

Still, food for thought.

Hey! Thanks for the note about Trespassers Will Be Baptized. I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with other readers and our customers (I do event planning for a large bookstore and will be hosting Elizabeth in September).

Your interview with her was great!
