"introduces an investment alternative that is safe, secured by real estate, administered by the government, involves no brokers, is enforced by state law, and gives fixed returns."

Publisher profile: Selling tax liens or tax deeds (depending on the state) are the two ways that counties across the country bring delinquent property taxes up-to-date. This investment is one of the least publicized and safest ways of investing in real estate, designed to give the investor either a fixed return, as in the case of investing in tax liens, or a property for 10 to 50 cents on the dollar, as in the case of a tax deed sale. In most situations, the property is ultimately transferred free of any liens, such as mortgages.  Click here for more info.

I'm a Stranger Here Myself by BILL BRYSON:

After two decades in England, Bill Bryson's relocated to Hanover, New Hampshire. With the telescopic perspective of one who's stepped out of the American mainstream and come back after 20 years, Bryson holds the mirror up to U.S. culture, capturing its absurdities--such as hotlines for dental floss, the cult of the lawsuit, and strange American injuries such as those sustained from pillows and beds. "In the time it takes you to read this," he writes, "four of my fellow citizens will somehow manage to be wounded by their bedding."--  Melissa Rossi

Bryson's dry wit developed after years of living in the UK continues to shine as he dissects almost every aspect of American life, and reveals the often preposterous nature of things we take for granted. An easy read to dip in and out of and good for de-stressing the mind with light humor. Click here for more info
