Book Title: Stranger in a Strange Land
Author: Robert Heinlein
review: A great sci-fi book that challenges the reader to look at human culture from alien eyes.
rating: (8/10)
other comments: I prefer The Moon is A Harsh Mistress by the same author, but while they both have a lot of philosophy Stranger has more focus on it.

Book Title: The Prince
Author: Machiavelli
review: Gives a general yet specific attitude and personalities that would help a prince to be loved, feared and respected by his people.
rating (1/10): 10
other comments: He wrote this while he was banished and held captive. He wrote it as a gift to a crown prince, his knowledge of his years and it is incredibly in depth. I find myself reading it and realizing that this a good book for any class level.

Book Title: Anthology of Living Religions
Author: Mary Pat Fisher
Review: Many interesting entries about the many religions of the world. It's a college text book, but the readings are short, but still very insightful from many people in history. A lot more interesting than the book it goes with: Living Religions 7th Edition.
Rating: 8/10
Comments: It would probably be a 10 if I wasn't using it for my world religions class right now. It's not that expensive either- for a college textbook.
