IronMike: A sort of science-fiction / funny / philosophical / adventure. Despite being self-published it is the best book I read all year. Blew my mind.

IronMike: 2nd best book I read in 2014. It's about two teens being killed in Moscow during the reign of Joe Stalin. Factual stuff.

IronMike: A novel about book collectors and murder. I collect books but there was much information here I had no idea about. Fun read. Be absolutely certain you are getting an authentic signed 1st edition of this book. Some of them are forgeries.

IronMike: Did you know Adam & Eve had daughters? I learned it in this novel by the Kellermans...father and son... A great concept for a book, but it tests the reader.

IronMike: A down-to-earth discussion of Einstein's theories. Makes Albert a likeable fellow with faults like us all.
