Must-Read Books

Michigan-Made

For some people, nothing will replace a book in their hand – not a Kindle, not a Nook, not an Ipad, or the smartest phone ever invented! Reading a book is a great escape and takes us to places we may never get to in any other way.

We may read for entertainment, to pass the time, to visit other worlds, to expand our sense of what is possible. We hunt for treasure, rarely satisfied, but seeking new things to which we can aspire, clues and answers to what our lives are meant to be. At best, perhaps, we read to challenge ourselves and to be changed.

Air Pirates Book authored by Brian Chase

Chase takes his readers on a journey across the world of crime, visiting Amazonia in the middle of the Colombian civil war, and trekking through other countries as well, to show how individuals smuggle drugs into the United States. His book exposes the lies he says are perpetrated by governments in the war on drugs. He also explores the death of cocaine kingpin and leader of the Medellin cartel Pablo Escobar who the U.S. government claimed they had killed in 1993. When interviewed by agents from both the Department of Justice and the CIA over this issue in 1997, they were allowed to ask Chase just one ‘yes or no’ question according to the agreement given by his attorneys. The question was simple, to the point and Chase quoted it word for word: “Is Pablo Escobar still alive?” Read more about the Air Pirates book and the author Brian Chase, along with excerpts of the book.

Read more about the There are 508 Stars in the Sky book and about the author Marky Allen.

So why read with the Internet, Twitter, Facebook, smart phones, and the television droning in the background all day and half the night?

Reading, unlike passive forms of absorbing stories, is an act of creation. You form images in your mind.
You control the pace. You pick up the book when you want to read, and you stop whenever you want. You start reading exactly where you want when you return to the book.
Reading tones your mind in the same way as exercise tones your muscles.
A book makes an excellent companion on a plane, bus, or train. It’s entertaining, quiet, and small enough to fit in your bag or briefcase.
You can write in a book. You can underline words that seem to speak to your life.
Because you invest part of yourself in actively reading a worthwhile book, it becomes part of your life and part of you.
A book is a gift from a writer. Why? Because an author thought long enough and deeply enough to write a whole book about some fascinating topic. He or she didn’t simply tweet about it or speak off the cuff on a TV interview. A book represents somebody’s heartfelt work. Accept the gift, and you will be richer for it.

Benjamin Twiggs cherry products began in 1966 using only the finest, local ingredients. Gourmet cherry products include jams, jelly, preserves, butters, ice cream toppings, salsa, bbq sauce, mustard, trail mix, cherry bing tea, and sour patches. As legend has it… The Legend of Benjamin Twiggs It was the early 1700s in Kent, England. Like many families, the Twiggs family dreamed of the New World. Master Benjamin, the youngest of the Twiggs clan, listened with wonder to his father’s stories of the incredible land that awaited them. Gathering their meager belongings and some crates of cherry pits they hoped to plant, the family embarked on the long voyage overseas. While en route, a terrible storm overcame the ship. A towering wave hurled everyone overboard. Benjamin, grabbing a crate of cherry pits, hung on for dear life. Alone and orphaned, he arrived in the New World. Without a shilling to his name, Benjamin traveled the countryside. He went from farm to farm, town to town, working for food and shelter. One glorious spring day, he arrived in the “Land of the Sweetwater Seas”: Traverse City. Here at last, Benjamin found the perfect place to make his family’s dream take root. Rolling hills. Warming sunshine. And cool winds off the water. Here Benjamin planted the cherry pits that had been his constant reminder of home. His efforts were soon rewarded with a plentiful crop of luscious red cherries. Word soon spread about the wonderfully tart and tasty fruit. Benjamin happily shared his knowledge (and seedlings) with local farmers. In time, Traverse City blossomed to become the Cherry Capital of the World. Today, the legend of Benjamin Twiggs lives on through the gourmet cherry products that carry his name.
