'Dragonfly' Book Review
"Princess Taoshira of the Blue Crescent Islands is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil of Gerfal. And he's not too pleased, either. She is used to a life of discipline, ritual, and splendor. He is used to hunting and carousing. They hate each other on sight. But both of their countries are under threat from a fearsome warlord, and the only chance of peace is to form an alliance.When Tashi and Ram are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape--from their kidnappers or from each other. Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing, and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their adventure—including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies, and the best female fighter they have ever seen--help them or betray them to the enemy?"

God Wasn't There (Ch. 2)
Power over people is a very interesting thing. We see it a lot in the animal species of the world. The strongest animal usually gets the first choice of meal and mate. In more complex species, it becomes more of a power dynamic. That position of dominance is given with an expectation that the animal with the most power is there to defend its group and therefore when the time comes, that animal will use that power to protect those that protect them.

'Why I Am an Atheist' - Book Review
Title - Why I am an Atheist Author - Bhagat Singh Number of Pages - 24 If I were to say that I have been an atheist for half of my life, I would not be completely lying. In earlier years of my life, I was an obedient, orthodox follower of Hinduism. As Bertrand Russell said in his rather very famous lecture—Why I am not a Christian, "Most people believe in God because they have been taught from early infancy to do it, and that is the main reason." Well, it was a part of those millions as well!
