Bigger, Badder, Bolder and Grimmer - A real T-Rex-capade
This seventh volume in Jim Butcher's excellent series serves up the hot magical action and cool wise-cracking wit that fans of Harry Dresden have come to expect. DEAD BEAT is a notable landmark in this series for several reasons. For the first time, the magical world that Harry inhabits is given grounding and gravity; it seems to have become one of the notable landmarks of Chicago like the ...

The Book that Started the Blackjack Revolution
Edward O. Thorp started the blackjack revolution way back in the early 1960s with a difficult but successful card counting system. This book explains that early system and why blackjack is a beatable game. There are now many easier card counting systems such as the Hi-Lo, the KO, the High Opt and the easiest of all Speed Count. Thorp's book is a must have for your gambling library as he ...

Understanding the stock market for idiots
As someone who is not in the real savy in business and has little to no financial advisory background- this book is right up your alley if you just don't understand the complexity of the stock market but are still interested in investing. My brother is a financial analyst for a fortune 500 company and could not get me to understand the stock market and mutual funds etc- for the life of him! ...

Essential for fans of 20th century literature
Simply put, this is what I turn to when I need inspiration for reading, for creating, for anything. It combines wonderful bios of everyone from Kerouac to Bob Dylan, and their poems, book excerpts, and lyrics galore. Absolutely enjoyable, absolutely essential. Thank god for Ann Charters.

Beat Diabetes naturally
This is a great book. My husband has uncontrolled diabetes, mainly because the doctors haven't educated us about glycemic index and glycemic load. This is very cut and dried and very easy to understand.

How to Beat Your Dad at Chess (Gambit Chess)

126 reviews
Murray Chandler

Gambit Publications, 1998

Amazing book for wannabe attacking players
Before reading this book, I played chess like a scared chipmunk, obsessing about little details like whether pushing this pawn would weaken my position by a picounit. This book helped me see that the way to win games at the amateur level is to attack, to be aggressive, to go after the enemy king like he is your nemesis, to crank open his position like a sardine can and commit regicide. The ...

A Love Triangle Is Born!
At the beginning of this volume, we find out that the public is becoming curious about the girl playing the murderous angel in Sho's promo clip. Because of this, Kyoko is invited to appear on a Japanese variety show. Also there is the devil himself, Sho, and his new rivals, the band Vie Ghoul. Kyoko avoids Sho like the plague, but she soon has a run in with Reino, the lead singer of Vie Ghoul. He ...

Women of the Beat Generation: The Writers, Artists and Muses at the Heart of a Revolution

7 reviews

Conari Press, 1998

Beautiful!
For a group that is now remembered as a progressive voice in the ultra-conformist wilderness of the 1950s, the Beats were a surprisingly chauvinistic bunch of guys, all too ordinary for their time. That unfortunate fact helps explain the relative obscurity of most of the women who ran with, influenced and, in some cases, loved them. (You probably know that William S. Burroughs accidentally ...

The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation (Vintage)

8 reviews
Gene Roberts, Hank Klibanoff

Vintage, 2007

An excellent argument for the importance of a free press.
To me, this book was less a civil right's history, though that certainly serves as an excellent backdrop, but more of a detailed account showing the unsurpassed importance of free speach and a free press to the cause of liberty and democracy. It serves to illustrate the power of the truth, and although America's treatment as a whole of blacks has been shameful until just recently, it makes me ...

A Broken Heart Still Beats: After Your Child Dies

Anne McCracken, Mary Semel

Hazelden, 2000

At almost 2 years out, this is the most helpful book so far
My 9 year old daughter died suddenly at school almost 2 years ago. While I have continued to function and do the things that I must do, I know that I will be haunted forever by sadness and guilt (i.e. "the what-ifs") forever. When my grief was new, "When Bad Things Happen To Good People" helped some. It gave me permission to see her death as random, horrifically bad luck. Not as a ...

Robert J. Marckini, 2007

Quality of Life
I was recently diagnosed with an early stage prostate cancer. I immediately began a feverish internet research of treatment options and interviews with friends who had undergone various treatments. The good thing about a cancer discovered early is the option of several treatment methods which can offer a cure. My dilemma was to choose the best treatment for my situation that also offered the ...

The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries (P.S.)

31 reviews
Marilyn Johnson

Harper Perennial, 2007

"I write about dead people!"
It's difficult to imagine an entire book dedicated to telling the average reader about those folks who write obituaries for a living. This book, however, takes on that daunting task, and fully delivers, with information and humor. Those of us who don't do this kind of writing can't imagine that it is an intense experieance for the writer, especially those who sytrive to give the reader a close ...

Kyoko won't suffer in silence--she's going to get her sweet revenge by beating Sho in show biz! Sho decides to take the high road rather than confront Vie Ghoul about their theft of his song. But VG frontman Reino doesn't take kindly to being ignored and devises a devious plan to get Sho's ...

Glen David Gold

Hyperion, 2002

Magic and Mayhem - What a Treat!
This is a great book. Set in the San Francisco area in the 1920s, it tells a tale of murder, mayhem, romance and magic that is, amazingly, mostly factual. It's true that the author does take some liberties with the facts in several places, but it's all in the spirit of fun at the core of this novel. You'll meet magicians, a US president, secret service men, entrepreneurs, inventors, pirates, ...

7 Tools to Beat Addiction

9 reviews
Stanton Peele

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Splendidly helpful
As I mention on the book's jacket, this is an amazing work by an amazing man. The fact that the recommendations inside do not work for every single person IS THE POINT! Just as Dr. Peele emphasizes that many of the current therapies jammed down people's throats today are clearly not for everyone, no single recommendation inside this book should apply to every single person under every ...
