Funniest LDS book I've ever read...
Baptists at Our Barbecue is easily the funniest LDS book I have ever read. (excluding Robert Smith's other books, which should be required reading for anyone who is LDS or living near someone who is) This is the only book that I have read where I actully laughed out loud. My wife thought it was so strange that she immediately read it and she loves it as much as I do. I have two copies because I ...

Luther and his agents take on the form of wolves and follow Morivania, dog him, if you will, across Europe while he searches for the secret to destroy Luther. The wolf-beasts attack and devour unsuspecting victims while on Morivania's ...

A treat to any Cure fan.....
Ever since I became a Cure fan I had always wondered if Robert or any of the other band members had a biography, marking the major turning points of their musical careers.... And I guess that my question has been answered ever since I first heard about this crucial book. It lives up to what everyone has said about it, and I just got it yesterday from my friend Ben actually!(Thanks again! You're a ...

Tai Chi Quan before it was the Groovy Thang...
...Chen Pan-ling was a practical martial artist who had a background in not only Tai Chi (Yang & Wu), but also Hsing Yi and Bagua. The book not only includes clear photos (clearer than in my original Chinese version of this book) and precise descriptions of the proper movements and applications, but also descriptions of how you should feel. This is Tai Chi at it's most practical, not a new-agey ...

Eye Of The Beholder
Robert Cameron presents a place and its' character in this "above" book (as well as in the other ones). Some people fly over the Los Angeles area, gagging and shaking their heads. Mammoth highways, concrete, smog, track housing, and monster burbs. These qualities do exist. But Cameron's photos also allow you to see the different personalities and idiosyncrasies of the many communities that ...

Perpetual Spring Provides Creative Inspiration!
This book deserves more than five stars. It is the finest set of flower photography that I have seen before, and presents more dimensions of what a flower can mean that I would have thought possible. I took a course of creativity from author Dan Wakefield a number of years ago. One of the many excellent exercises we did was to take a flower and write as much as we could about what we observed ...

A second dose of Inspiration...
Senge's second serving of the Learning Organization is filled with practical tips and real-life examples from companies and organizations that have embraced the teachings of the Learning Organization successfully. The Book is a collaboration of several writers who do a superb job of unraveling the web that is the learning organization. At times, it may seem to the reader that the book is a ...
Complete Idiot's Guide to Nazi Germany (The Complete Idiot's Guide)

, 2003
Presented what I expected
This is a very complete summary for anyone interested in pursuing a study in Nazi Germany. It covers a lot of ground with a small number of pages. Important dates and events are all summarized as well as major characters in history. The only problem with this book is that the levels of detail regarding really important scenes in history are only touched on briefly. However, this is understandable ...

charming
What a wonderful little book! Very short, only 124 pages, and I think the best word to describe it is - bemusing. I was charmed by the writer's account of his childhood in the Roaring Twenties. Written in 1957, so many of his observations on parenting (and he had two of his own) are certainly true today. We micro-and macro-manage our children. Are they ever left to their own devices any ...
The Cure: Songwords 1978-1989

"Songwords" is pure poetry.
Robert Smith is undoubtably one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. His lyrics are full of unique imagery, with emotions that range from the highs of elation to the depths of dispair... The words are sometimes soothing-- other times bordering on disturbing and bizarre-- but always honest and thought-provoking. His lyrics stand alone beautifully as modern poetry.

Solid Tips For Catching Muskellunge
Catching Muskellunge: A Practical Guide is a no-holds barred book on muskie fishing techniques by a noted writer. This book is difficult to find but it's worth trying to find. I found the author's copy to be straight forward, intelligently written, and with an excellent mix of how-to information and presented in an entertaining easy-to-read manner. I've fished for muskies on and off for over 30 ...

It will make you laugh and cry...
"Cush: A Civil War Journal" is a great book from the point of view of a "run of the mill" Alabama infantry soldier. That is, the grunt who did most of the work and most of the dying. Samuel Sprott was under 90 days of constant bombardment from Sherman's forces during the Atlanta campaign. It becomes so common that when he encounters a General of a Texas regiment whom he had met during the ...

A big beautiful book....
A hardcover with over 290 some pages full of artwork. From the bells found in tombs to more modern prints done in the early 20th century, this book is a must for either art lovers or lovers of Japan or both! The book not only shows you how the art changed, but how the lives of the Japanese people changed. Their ways of life ANd their beliefs. See prints and paintings and statues of street ...

Edgar Cayce--the human being behind the psychic
This is a wonderful autobiography pieced together from Cayce's own writing over the years. A. Robert Smith, who compiled and edited the material, has done an excellent job of assembling and organizing the diverse materials from the Cayce files. It is a book that should be read by everyone, especially those who have heard of Edgar Cayce but are unfamiliar with the man and his work. He gave ...

The Best on Application
This slender and concise classic has never been surpassed. In just a few pages, Chen Wei-Ming outlines the key points regarding T'ai Chi application, particularly explaining the use of the art in clear language with excellent examples (although other areas are covered as well). The chapter on Free-Fighting alone is worth the price of the book. In an era where knowledge of T'ai Chi ...

As a book, stunning. As a First Book? Unimaginable!
"Everything Moves With A Disfigured Grace" is simply one of the best books of poetry published in America in the last 40 years, and, to paraphrase Steve Earle speaking about Townes Van Zandt, "I'll stand in my cowboy boots on coffee tables at Billy Collins' house, at Ted Kooser's house, at Charles Simic's house, and at Robert Hass' house, and repeat that for anyone who cares to listen!"

A Book Destined To Become A Spiritual Classic
Robert Ellsberg's ALL SAINTS was well received by many Catholic readers and deservedly so. The biographies found in the first book are well researched and his selection of famous and not so famous Christians (and in a few cases non-Christians) is interesting. Ellsberg once again turns to the well known figures in Christian history in his newest work THE SAINTS' GUIDE TO HAPPINESS. In Billy ...

Shoo cat, don't bother me
A reputable source brought this book to my attention by declaring it a cat book for those people who don't like cats. Don't get me wrong, I like cats. I think that they are fine frolicsome creatures and I wouldn't mind owning one of my own someday, weather permitting. That does not, however, mean that I always like cat picture books. Books that attempt to show cats as they are, too often have ...

All You Could Ever Want In An LDS Novel
Robert F. Smith does it again in this zany novel about a return missionary named Gray who's not satisfied with the direction his life is taking. However, things begin to change for Gray when he comes into some money and moves to the small town of Forget. Smith packs it all into this novel---humor, romance, aliens, and, of course, all the wacky ward members you could ask for (you've undoubtedly ...
