A good look into Blackwater. Schahill did some good digging, and produced a readable book overall. Definitely a bias to it, but with the evidence to support it. Initially I was turned off to the large amount of background spewed out about the founders early on, but it later was great information to put the company into context with. I still think it could have started out with more overarching information about the company to help solidify the question of "What is Blackwater?" first. If you are interested in the subject, definitely a to-read, but otherwise you can take it or leave it.

If you have lost faith in the magic in life, this book is a must read. Marquez takes a look at a beautiful world where ice is once again a wonder, ghosts are tied to trees in the backyard without a second thought, and we learn the origin of the human race from Melquiades, the greatest literary character since Mercutio. I challenge anybody to name another book where the reader will finish with the ending leaving them as whole, fulfilled, and eager to re-read the book.
