Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia 1495 reviews
Elizabeth Gilbert
Bloomsbury, 2006
A memoir worth reading
I could relate to this memoir - everyone is dysfunctional in their own way, but Gilbert isn't afraid to put herself out there. I admired her writing style, her wit and ability to laugh at herself. She is poignant about issues that many people face everyday. Interesting perspectives on three different cultures which richly contrast with American life.

Stephanie's Best Book so far!!!
Out of all Twilight series books this one is my favorite so far. I love how you get to know each character even more than you do in the first two books. It just makes me want to read them all over and over and over again!

Batman: The Killing Joke
This is one of the best Batman Comics. Great artwork and story! Well, I'm a great Joker fan and I like almost everything of his stories but this one is really really good! It also comes in great hardcover with some extra materials inside. If you want a great Joker and Batman story, you should buy this comic book!

Auto Repair For Dummies48 reviews
Deanna Sclar
IDG Books Worldwide, 1999
Fantastic, Easy-to-read, Informative Book
After watching my sister go through several Auto Tech classes to learn how to work on a car, I was intimidated by the amount of time & money I thought it would take to get the same knowledge. Then I found this book. I've been a faithful reader of the Dummies books for a long time, and this one just reinforced my opinion of them.
After reading this book, I am able to change my own oil, check & ...

This is The Best Dungeons and Dragons Ever.
There are lots of reasons but this game is super super fun. I wont list them here, but if you give this game half a chance it will blow you away.

The Code Book: The Evolution of Secrecy from Mary, Queen of Scots to Quantum Cryptography249 reviews
Simon Singh
Doubleday, 1999
Excellent!!!
If you have never read a Simon Singh book, it's time to begin now! While most Singh books can seem a bit boring when you read the synopsis (can a book about codes really be interesting??), this is not the case. He has a wonderfull way of explaining complicated things in an understandable way. I will also highly recommend "Fermat's enigma" and "Big bang".

Homeland: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 1 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book I)194 reviews
R. A. Salvatore
Wizards of the Coast, 2005
Welcome to the Underdark and the realm of the drow...
Salvatore grabbed our attention with the Icewind Dale trilogy, and one of the heroes of that unlikely group of friends was Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow (or dark elf, as they are often called). To our delight, Salvatore's next project, dubbed the Dark Elf trilogy, served as a prequel, to tell us about Drizzt's past, and to introduce us to the world of the drow.
I cannot recall another author who so ...

Odd Hours52 reviews
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2008
A master of the English language provides another oddly wonderful tale
Dean Koontz, in my opinion, is one of the reigning masters of the English language. His words are carefully chosen, assembled into beautifully expressive sentences. He can conjour up and immerse the reader into a scene, whether it be swirling fog, the sea, a candlelit room.
I am so tempted to quote extensively from "Odd Hours", for there are so many almost lyrical passages, but I won't ...

St. Martin's Press, 2008
All of the series are great...
I've become a regular fan of "Stephanie Plum" series. Evanovich is a fabulous writer. I've read this one and the previous 13 books in this series. I'm looking forward to the 15th I think is coming in June or July. Lots of humor about the character's family...her grandma is the best. Some love thrown in, adventure, and all sorts of great things. I highly recommend her books, especially this ...

Do you know where the food you eat comes from? Do you know what chemicals are sprayed on to them? What genes within them have been modified? What inhumane treatment has gotten the food to your plate?
If you don't, it may be time to read the Omnivore's Dilemma and reassess your eating habits. This book isn't the most entertaining, but boy does it open your eyes! From the genetically-modified ...

Business Plus, 2000
Fantastic Book
This book is amazing. I would recommend this to any at any age. I read this in High School and it changed my life. I now own a successful startup company and it is all thanks to the rich dad series for inspiring me to NOT GET A JOB! I recently bought this for my 13 year old brother in law as well. It is not a HOW TO but rather a THINK ABOUT how to!

The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives8 reviews
Leonard Mlodinow
Pantheon, 2008
Chances are good you'll like this one
This smart book will make you think. Academic yet easy to read, it explores how random events shape the world and how human intuition fights that fact. I found this point fascinating. It never occurred to me that our brains naturally want to see patterns and order, and life doesn't necessarily work like that.
It's comforting to think of an orderly world, with everything in its place, running ...

A gem that will always sit upon my shelf
I read this book not knowing what lay ahead. All I knew that Katherine had been John of Gaunt's long time mistress who bore him four children. But from the first sentence I was hooked. I was taken back to a time that I have so longed to explore-the 1300's and the Plantagenet rule.
As I read, I saw Katherine and her world so clear that it was if I could have been there myself. I felt glad when ...

One of the best books I have ever read!
I loved this book so much I lent it to family and friends. Now I can't wait to get it back, so I can read it again. A truly empowering book. Written with such compassion that readers could never be "grossed out" by some of the extremes of survival that are revealed in this book.
