Hilarity at its finest!
If you can read this book without constantly laughing out loud, you have no sense of humor. This book is great!

The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren

Harcourt, 2008

The Man Who Made Vermeers
What's really terrific about this book is the way that it sets the story of Van Meegeren's forgeries within the personal biography of the forger and the history of the period. In fact, I'm starting to think that this is the way that art should always be looked at, because I suddenly saw these fake Vermeers in a completely new light. I've heard people ask how anyone could have been fooled by these ...

Rules of the Game

Neil Strauss

Harper Paperbacks, 2007

A good, thorough guide for all guys
This "rules" book pretty much covers all you need to know about how to play the game of love. Lots of good, solid advice and lots of advice that makes complete and total sense. Mr. Strauss has gone it again. Highly recommended, along with The Exclusive Layguide: When Dating and Having Sex with Incredibly Hot Women is No Longer Mirage Even If You Don't Look Like a Model or Don't Make a Fortune

reading the oed
This is a great book not only for those who love their dictionaries or own an OED, which seem to be the people who have reviewed this book so far. I neither love my dictionary** I own my mom's from high-school and i read it to fall asleep** nor do i own a single volume of the OED, the last time i even saw a copy of the OEd was the condensed version at my high-school library. What makes this a ...

Triumph Books, 2008

Daves' A Killer, author that is!
I have read many literature articles over the years and this I must say ranks as the best ever. Mr. Dave "Killer" Hanson has written a very poignant story about his life and a movie that is the best sports movie to date. The violent battles and off ice shenanigans are extraordinarily told by the man who did them and a movie deal about this book is certainly forthcoming. I can truthfully say ...

Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader

117 reviews
Dinesh D'Souza

Free Press, 1999

A great book about a great President; captures Reagan in a way others don't.
Most biographers who attempt to write about Ronald Reagan typically get frustrated at some point in their effort and throw up their hands saying, "I can't get to know this man!" Indeed, the man that some many of us felt close to without ever having met him was apparently a very tough nut to crack if you wanted to get close to him in person. As a result, many biographies supposedly about ...

The Abolition of Man

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

How to fix what is broken
This book is a series of three talks where Lewis illustrates the breakdown of education , from a system which embraces natural law, truth, and virtue, to one which embraces much of nothing and feeds back nothing. It is perhaps a bit dated now as teaching methods have moved on (though not necessarily in positive directions), but yet it still has much to say as we contemplate the inadequacy of our ...

Brian K. Vaughan

Vertigo, 2006

Great addition to the series
Paper Dolls had so many twists to it that I almost couldn't keep up. This series just gets you hooked and never fails to entertain. If you're looking for an example of why Y The Last Man is so highly regarded, check out volume 4 and this volume.

The Hire Wire Act Over the World Trade Center
This is a wonderful story of Philippe Petit and his walk between the Twin Tower of the World Trade Center. It is done in a very moving way and the story is truly touching. I can't believe he did it! Since the towers are no more, the story is even more eloquent.

Lois Ehlert

Harcourt Children's Books, 2005

Simple text enhanced with a big dose of creativity!
My husband bought this for our two-year old, and we love reading it together with her. The text is simple, as it traces the journey of Leaf Man...the leaves used are magnificent in their colors...some bold, some subdued, but all unique and beautiful. I have since done some basic art projects with my daughter using this book as inspiration. We collect leaves wherever we go and hope to create a ...

The Measure of a Man: A Spiritual Autobiography (Oprah's Book Club)

Sidney Poitier

HarperSanFrancisco, 2007

Sir Sidney Poitier
His roles in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) and To Sir, with Love (1967) were for their time landmarks in the breaking down of social barriers between blacks and whites, and Poitier's talent, conscience, integrity, and inherent likability placed him on equal footing with the white stars of the day. He took on directing and producing chores in the Seventies, achieving success in both arenas. ...

The Taming of the Shrew (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)

5 reviews
William Shakespeare

Washington Square Press, 2004

Irony, brilliant irony
This is a show piece for Shakespeare's ability to portray the human condition. It is about wanting what isn't what we think it is, not wanting what is as it seems, marrrying out of pragmatism and finding love, loving blindly and not finding love, the impact of social pressure on love, the impact of love on social pressure, some utterly blind fantasy about women, and some clear understanding of ...

Ziegfeld: The Man Who Invented Show Business

1 review
Ethan Mordden

St. Martin's Press, 2008

A light and breezy read
An enjoyable book. Ethan Mordden digs into the archival material relating to all things Ziegfeld and presents us with a leisurely account of the rise and fall of this formidable showman. It is a 21st century perspective, and reflects the culture of celebrity and American dream that was no different in the 1890s. Typical of Mordden's style are the many footnotes filled with interesting trivia. ...
