If you have then I suggest you add a review to the Amazon.com page.

Live Free or Die

Just a quick note is all you have to do. Please, help out a great activist.

Why did you give it four out of five stars?

Because it's a book about politics.
It isn't the best book I have ever read either. Five stars would be books like Farenheit 451 or some such.
Why do you think I should have given it 5?

I didn't say you should have. I just wanted to know why the rating.

My apologies. I just assumed you thought I should have given it a 5.
Giving it a 5 makes me feel disingenuous. I liked the book and all, but like I said, it isn't the best book ever.
Just being honest I guess.

Its on my "to read" list definitely. I should have bought it when I went to Gard's Firefly/Serenity and libertarianism seminar this past winter.

I bought it from Gard at the Liberty Forum, but I haven't had a chance to read more than a few pages of it. And he hasn't put it on the Amazon Kindle yet, so I can't read it out here.

Do you have a Kindle?
I am waiting for a second gen Kindle that doesn't look hideous and has enough content for me to care.

Of course I have a Kindle. And there's plenty of content.

I don't think there is just yet. I read mostly SF and the pickings for that seem rather bare.
I'm pretty sure that more publishers will be onboard in the next few years.

Liberty Books in Concord has a copy of this book, if I remember right, available for rental.  Rental price wound up to be just a couple bucks.
