1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List 301 reviews
Patricia Schultz
Workman Publishing Company, 2003
Wonderful travel to do list!
This is a great book to get ideas for traveling. It covers the many obvious places, but also covers those that one would not find on a generic travel tour. It covers sites, entertainment, hotels, restaurants and more. It also tells you the best time to travel. It even tells you when it is the most crowded and gives advice not to travel to these areas during some of the most crowded times. It ...

The Crass Menagerie: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury9 reviews
Stephan Pastis
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008
Witness the Evolution From Good to Great
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE has grown exponentially in just a few years from being a small, West Coast comic strip to becoming a national powerhouse and one of the best comic strips being published. The strips are sometimes edgy, often relevant, and always funny (even at their lamest). THE CRASS MENAGERIE is the latest collection of Pearls strips and includes about a year and a half's worth of strips. ...

Black Ships Before Troy 26 reviews
Rosemary Sutcliff
Laurel Leaf, 2005
Beautifully Conceived
Black Ships Before Troy is a marvelous retelling of the story of the Trojan War. The book goes beyond The Iliad to include the stories leading up to the war and what happens after the Iliad closes with the burial of Hector. Rosemary Sutcliff has managed to capture the feel of the Homeric epics in her retelling of Troy, and Alan Lee's illustrations beautifully illuminate the text. The ...

The Game Before the Game: The Perfect 30-Minute Practice6 reviews
Lynn Marriott, Pia Nilsson, ...
Gotham, 2007
A Solid, Practical, Insightful and Unique Golf Book
I really appreciate this book. The fundamental premise is that we don't practice golf effectively (when we practice at all.) The typical golfer just "scrapes and hits" at the driving range. Hitting one ball after the other. Best case, this makes us good at hitting one shot after the other which, of course, bares almost no resemblance to playing golf on a golf course.
I really liked the first ...

1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die47 reviews
Universe, 2006
A Must for Book List Lovers
I love book lists. And if you also love book lists, books about books, you must have have this one also. It is the best looking bibliography out there with full color and author photos. I read a couple reviews of books I have read in order to evaluate the quality of the reviews. For Edith Wharton's 'House of Mirth' the review is spot-on. I wrote my thesis on this book, and found the summary ...

101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged (Wright, H. Norman & Gary J. Oliver)10 reviews
H. Norman Wright
Harvest House Publishers, 2004
Great book every couple should read whether thinking about marriage or not
This book is a really great book for multiple reasons.
First off, the introduction is really well written and will make you face any major issues head on. It suggests if there are certain warning signs or red flags in your relationship, it might not be a relationship to stay in. Both my girlfriend and I were surprised that everything listed as warning signs and red flags pretty much described ...

Before you say 'I Do'
My husband used this pre-marriage book 22 years ago when we got married so it must work (LOL)!! As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I use this book with my Christian Couples for pre-marriage counseling. This workbook discusses all the potential trouble areas that contribute to most divorces. I highly recommend this workbook.

The Night Before Kindergarten25 reviews
Grosset & Dunlap, 2001
Perfection (With a Twist!)
This will be a favorite storybook for younger children preparing for the first day at school! All over the town, there are children tossing and turning in their beds, worried about teachers, friends, leaving play and family behind, "while visions of school supplies danced in their heads."
Of course, all is well! The teacher is the best and it's the parents in the end who shed a tear or two as ...

Learning about each other
You will definitely need the actual book to use the workbooks. My fiance and I have been working through the lessons and are about halfway through the workbooks. The best thing about the exercises is that there are so many things about my future wife that I didn't know, especially in regards to how she thinks and feels about certain aspects of life. We are becoming closer as we're beginning to ...

This book is awesome.
I have thus far read this to three granddaughters who all have it memorized. It is one of their favorite books. We wore one out in the five years since they have been born. I recently ordered another one to send to Montana with my four year old granddaughter when her family moved there. I plan to read my old copy to her while she reads along with her copy on the phone!!! They enjoyed this ...

Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors76 reviews
Nicholas Wade
Penguin, 2007
Riveting
This fascinating book would have been impossible to write prior to the time that the human genome was mapped. That single accomplishment has given rise to various sub-specialties of science, such as evolutionary biology and genetic anthropology, which in turn are helping scientists make connections among disciplines that, taken together, reveal startling truths about we humans, both ancient and ...
