The Summer Nights Never End...Until They Do: Life, Liberty, and the Lure of the Short-Run
Robert James Waller
In The Summer Nights Never End...Until they Do, [Robert James] Waller shares a methodology that can be applied to everything from governmental gaffs and immigration reform to losing weight and financial freedom. Like so many things that make sense, Waller's words are complex in their simplicity, turn from the madness of short-term, quick fixes and toward time-tested, reasonable goals. The devil is in the details. So, too, are the answers. -- Amazon.com
