Rough Water: Stories of Survival from the Sea… by Clint Willis
Badly bound book, glue at the spine gave way and pages became loose. Had to stop reading before attempting repairs.

Climb : stories of survival from rock, snow and ice by Clint Willis
This is a wonderful collection of short stories, both true and fiction, about climbing. H.G. Wells' humorous short story "Little Mother Up the Morderberg" about a mother and son climbing expedition was the most entertaining. Some, including the fictional stories, are quite tame and do not induce the anticipated vertigo, while others recounting misadventure have a greater impact. Pete Sinclair's harrowing story is one that will stick in the memory.

Dark: Stories of Madness, Murder and the Sup… by Clint Willis
I came for Robert Frost and honestly I don’t regret it at all! There are probably two stories I didn’t like but the rest I loved them. The last one was surprisingly good and the end shocked me!

The I Hate Republicans Reader: Why the GOP Is… by Clint Willis
This book is not bad. The reason I gave it the two stars is because it is just ok. It is a collection of essays and other materials. Unfortunately, the people who should be reading, i.e. those who actually need to get a clue about how bad the Republicans have been for the country, those people probably would never pick up this book. So the book becomes an example of preaching to the choir. For me, I had already read a number of the pieces in their original places, or I knew the information already. However, for some readers, this book may prove very informative. It probably should be mandatory reading for more people during this election.… (more)
