As much as I tried, my mind was not focused on the podcast over the holiday season.  The pursuit of truth is a lonely task that can isolate you from those closest and I needed to reconnect with family and friends.  But, amidst the chaos of Christmas shopping and family visits, I did manage to finish a couple of books that had been collecting dust on my bookshelf. 

   Today's book report is part one of a series about "The Creature from Jekyll Island", by G. Edward Griffin.  This book is a great starting point if you want to learn more about the history of money, central banking and, of course, the Federal Reserve System.  I highly recommend purchasing it, but if you cannot, I hope you find some useful information from these talks.
