A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail 60 reviews
Bill Bryson
Anchor, 2006
Probably Bryson's Best Book
I bought this book as a replacement for a lost borrowed book. I had started reading it in Phoenix when I lost it. But the few pages I read there prompted me to buy this book from Amazon when I returned home. (And yes, I did return the new book to the lender.)

Body For Life is for real
Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength
I bought the book because I wanted to know what a friend of mine was doing. She bought the book because a friend told her about it. My friend saw her friend's transformation and wanted to share it with me. I've got the book and am now transforming myself! I had to tell my friends. Get in the gym. Eat right. Work hard. You will get ...

Hot Prospects: The Proven Prospecting System to Ramp Up Your Sales Career 2 reviews
Bill Good
Scribner, 2008
Bill Good updates his classic work
The concepts in this book have changed the way I think about prospecting and have helped me dramatically improve the results from my prospecting calls every day. I have used Bill Good's concepts to build a niche business (retirement plan advice) from the ground up. I have used the Internet resources in this book to find the names of retirement plan participants to call at work, during the day. I ...

Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play228 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie
Two Plus Two Pub., 2004
Best book(s) in tournament poker
I think Harrington's book and it's sequels are the best books ever written about no limit hold'em tournaments. The first part of the series covers strategic concepts about tournament poker, the second part tells how to play in the ending of a tournament, and third part is the workbook for reviewing the concepts of first two books.
Before reading this book (and the sequels), I have been mostly ...

Great read
Well organized, step-by-step explanation of how and why sovereign citizens forfeit their liberty to the government. Very, very good read. Highly recommended.

We Might As Well Win: On the Road to Success with the Mastermind Behind a Record-Setting Eight Tour de France ...15 reviews
Johan Bruyneel, Bill Strickland
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
Tearing The Cranks Off
The only problem with the book is that it's too short! If you watch the Tour De France on TV you will love this book. The book covers everything from Johan's surprisingly successful career as a professional cyclist to the inside story about Lance's bluff on Alpe d'Huez. And it's quite well written. Even if you're a sports fan but not yet a cycling fan it's a great read.

Cash Games (How to Win at No-Limit Hold'em Money Games) Vol. 119 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie
Two Plus Two Publishing LLC, 2008
Don't read this...you'll beat me
recommended for those of us, myself especially, who think that they're ready to excell at the cash tables. take the time and let this book river you out of $30, if that, and then take the time to learn, relearn, and over-learn all the book has to offer.

The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart11 reviews
Bill Bishop
Houghton Mifflin, 2008
The Big Sort is a Big Hit
It may take a journalist to write an important work on politics that can be understood and enjoyed by those without a PhD in political science. This is essential reading for those who want to understand where the rubber meets the road in American politics at the grassroots level. It is a penetrating analysis that is also thoughtful, thoroughly researched and very well-written.
With that said, ...

The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A Memoir51 reviews
Bill Bryson
Broadway, 2007
Billy Remembers When...
It is a constant theme in Bill Bryson's books - he always points out what is (or in this case, was) good and enjoyable about his life's experiences. His exaggerations are done for comedic effect, but also to illustrate a point. I always leave the confines of his pages feeling like I have been transported to a different place or different time. Have we become so consumed with what we have, what ...

Little boys love Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
This is a regular addition to our bedtime reading collection for our two sons (ages 5 and 4). The book is colorful, fast and fun to read.
Both of my kids already know their ABCs but that doesn't prevent them from enjoying this book and giggling like mad as they read these lines:
"Skit skat skoodle doot. Flip flop flee..."
"mamas and papas and uncles and aunts..."

One of the greatest books ever written on Leadership. Not just in leading others but a true book on how to lead yourself. If you cannot lead you, no one will follow you. True leadership is defined by your ability to turn those under you into leaders themselves. True North also helps define where you are in your every day process, how to recognize those distractions that sometime seem like ...

Bill Watterson
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005
Treat yourself!
Treat yourself, as I did, to this 21 pound! complete Calvin and Hobbes collection. You, as I did, have probably put off purchasing this item time and time again. Well, I say that it is well worth the expense. This collection is for a lifetime of reading, as you follow Calvin and Hobbes on their many adventures.

Harrington on Cash Games, Volume II: How to Play No-Limit Hold 'em Cash Games11 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie
Two Plus Two Publishing LLC, 2008
A pleasure to read
In my opinion the turn and River are the most difficult and misplayed parts in No-Limit Poker. This is why I got this book, to improve these areas of my game.
The things I love about this book are the hand examples and analysis. After playing no-limit Texas for a couple of years I have often either gone bust or not maximised my winnings on these streets because I'd reach a situation where I ...

Wonderful recipes
I am addicted to this book. I started reading the first few pages and said, "That is me". All of the horrible eating habits I had, I have changed because of this book. I have SOOO much more energy I am amazed. I didn't know that after having a child, I could have so much energy. I have dropped about 10 lbs. in 4 weeks through both the Eating for Life and Body for Life Women's. I feel great. ...

The Five People You Meet in Heaven1596 reviews
Mitch Albom
Hyperion, 2003
A Fan for Life
This is the mainstream style readers love to read and writers love to achieve. No critique needed. I'll just say I'll buy every single book this author writes from now on. Mr. Albom never disappoints.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven is genius. Jealousy and professional criticism aside, the readers needs to decide for themselves.
I did, and I loved it.
Wolfe
