Ben Mezrich interviewed about The Accidental Billionaires

Facebook Novel Full of Lies

Even though I said that the book had lies in it. It didn't stop Amazon from doing an interview with the author, check out the sample below:

Amazon.com: Your other nonfiction books have been about young Ivy League guys who try to make it big at the casinos or in the financial markets. But this one is about perhaps the biggest casino of them all, or at least one with the biggest payouts: Silicon Valley. Could you talk about the new casino and how you got to know it?

Ben Mezrich: Well, the new book is about Facebook, and I love Facebook, I was on Facebook. But I didn't know anything about how Facebook actually happened, and I got an email at two in the morning from a kid who is a Harvard student, and he said, "I got a story for you," which you hear all the time, but I went out with him and I met this kid who had cofounded Facebook. And it's this wild story about these two kids in a dorm room--and a bunch of other kids who also claim it was their idea--and it just got bigger and bigger and bigger and now it's billions of dollars, but they're still just kids. So I was really led into this world that I knew nothing about.

Amazon.com: So tell us about that kid, it's Eduardo Saverin? He's not the name we associate with Facebook.

Mezrich: No, this kid was, "I want you to meet my friend who cofounded Facebook," and so I assumed, okay, it's got to be Mark Zuckerberg, because everyone knows Mark Zuckerberg. But there was another kid and his name was Eduardo. And Eduardo and Mark were best friends. They had met in an underground Jewish fraternity at Harvard. And they were geeky kids who were sort of trying to meet girls and trying to be cool and really, together--I mean, Mark is the genius behind Facebook, but together they created that idea. And they were in a dorm room basically and it was one of those things that just happens. So yeah, Eduardo nobody knows about, but now people will.

Amazon.com: And he was the moneyman--kind of the business side of it?

Facebook Novel Full of Lies

Facebook Novel Full of Lies

Word on the street is that the new book about the Facebook founders is full of errors and fact checks. Yep, apparently the book is not on the up and up. The Book is called The Accidental Billionaires and it is available now.

Not everybody is friending a book detailing the birth of Facebook, Reuters reports. BusinessWeek calls Ben Mezrich’s The Accidental Billionaires a “tawdry mismash,” amounting to “a fictionalized account of the founding.” The book is full of over-the-top scenes—like one in which Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg breaks into a Harvard dorm to hack a computer server, then hides behind a sofa as a couple has sex in the room.

Judge Backs Salinger Blocks Catcher Sequel

A judge stepped in and blocked an author from publishing a sequel to the classic Catcher in the Rye. Yep. Not much else to say about that.

Another court triumph for JD Salinger: A federal judge has blocked the US publication of an unauthorized sequel to The Catcher in the Rye. The judge, who had issued a temporary restraining order last month, issued a more permanent injunction against the novel by Swedish author Fredrik Colting, reports the New York Times. It had been scheduled to come out this summer. Colting can still take the case to trial, but the judge said Salinger would likely prevail. src - Newser.com

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World by W. Cleon Skousen

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World by W. Cleon Skousen

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World by W. Cleon Skousen is the latest book we are recommending. It's an interesting title, and an interesting topic.

Here is more information about The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World by W. Cleon Skousen:

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World. For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times.

In this book, discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.

GLENN BECK, award-winning radio and Cable TV host has been encouraging people to read THE 5000 YEAR LEAP !

Luba by Gilbert Hernandez

Luba by Gilbert Hernandez

Luba by Gilbert Hernandez is a 10 year anthology collection of story lines from the classic indie comic book from Love & Rockets. This book is 608 pages long and weighs like 3 pounds! You owe it to yourself to pick this one up folks, I know I will.

The sequel to the 2003 perennial classic, Palomar. Gilbert Hernandez climaxed his award-winning "Palomar" series at the end of Love and Rockets' original run by leveling the Central American hamlet. But he soon picked up the story of Luba: The hammer-wielding matriarch had emigrated to the U. S. where she contended not only with an unwelcoming new culture but also her extended family. These "America" stories - over 80 of them, ranging from quick one-page blackout sketches to graphic novellas - were originally published in a number of different comics and reprinted in a trilogy of oversized paperbacks. Luba collects in one compact, affordable hardcover the entirety of these tales, showcasing Gilbert Hernandez's wicked wit, great compassion, and uncanny understanding of how human beings love, squabble, and ultimately find a way to make it through this life.

Luba by Gilbert Hernandez is a huge book to check out if you're a fan of the comic books or are new to graphic novels. This Latin American graphic novel is such a great read, I kid you not. Check it out.

Everything Matters by Jr. Ron Currie

Everything Matters by Jr. Ron Currie

Today reading rec proudly recommends Everything Matters by Jr. Ron Currie. The book has been praised as a great comedic journey, with twists of drama and tragedy for good measure.

Here is the description from amazon.com:

On the day that Junior Thibodeau is born, he learns the exact moment when the world will end: 36 years, 168 days, 14 hours, and 23 seconds into the future--pretty heavy news for a newborn. Knowledge of the pending apocalypse--revealed by an omniscient, unnamed "we"--colors Junior's existence from day one and leaves him wondering: "Does anything I do matter?" Ron Currie, Jr.'s terrific debut novel unfolds through the funny, poignant, and tragic stories told by Junior and his family, (each of them owning a chapter) including the all-knowing Greek chorus that gently, affectionately nudges Junior toward his destiny. Everything Matters! is one of the most unique novels I've come across this year--unpredictable without being flashy, sweet without being sentimental, thoughtful without being preachy--a fun read that will keep you thinking long after the story is over. --Daphne Durham

Everything Matters by Jr Ron Currie is not available at all stores as of this writing, but you can pre-order it and save. Check it out, it's going to be something that a lot of people are going to be talking about in recent months, and you don't want to be left out.

Michael Thomas IMPAC Dublin Literary Award Winner

Michael Thomas has won the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for his debut novel, Man Gone Down. The award is a high honor in the realm of World Literature. It is open to authors of all languages, nationality and nominees are selected from a list of library systems throughout the world.

Michael Thomas

Here is the synopsis/review from amazon.com:

One of "The 10 Best Books of 2007"--The New York Times Book Review

Evoking the work of great American masters such as Ralph Ellison, but distinctly original, Michael Thomas' first novel is a beautifully written, insightful, and devastating account of a young black father of three in a biracial marriage trying to claim a piece of the American Dream. On the eve of the unnamed narrator's thirty-fifth birthday, he finds himself broke, estranged from his white Boston Brahmin wife and three children, and living in the bedroom of a friend's six-year-old child. With only four days before he's due in to pick up his family, he must make some sense out of his life. Alternating between his past--as an inner city child bused to the suburbs in the 1970's--and a present where he is trying mightily to keep his children in private schools, we learn of his mother's abuses, his father's abandonment, and the best and worst intentions of a supposedly integrated America. This is an extraordinary debut about what it feels like to be pre-programmed to fail in life--and the urge to escape that sentence.

Back from the Dead

Well, I couldn't stay away too long. I figure I had a few fans out there still, and so today I would to announce myself as coming back to the grind here. I'm back at it from the dead, talking about books and book news. Here's one such thing:

Bookstore sales fell 2.6% in April, to $969 million, according to preliminary estimates released this morning by the U.S. Census Bureau. Bookstore sales have fallen every month this year and the April decline was slightly higher than the 1.4% drop reported in March. Through the first four months of 2009, bookstore sales declined 3.8%, to $5.21 billion. For the entire retail segment, sales were down 4.0% in April and 9.9% for the four-month period.

The End of Reading Rec

I'll be honest, when I first started this website I wanted to recommend books daily. I had some good times and I want to believe that someone out there actually liked the recommendations and read some.

I love books. I love the physical nature of holding a new book and being in book stores all the time. One day, maybe, I can work at a book store or be in the business of selling books.

However, that day is not today. This is my final post here on Reading Rec.

I'm moving the whole operation to my own domain name and a new site called Book Sightings.

The core of Book Sightings is essentially this site on steroids. I will have book reviews, book news, book talk and all things book related. My goal is not to just blog once in a while but to do it daily and to have conversations with those that are interested in reading, writing and purchasing books.

So I leave you with two main things. First and foremost the url: http://sirjorge.com/booksightings
