St. Martin's Press, 2008

Fabulous
I'm not going to go all crazy like some of these weird people who write a book of their own with their reviews. I absolutely loved this book, sad and happy and mythology and all of it!!! I have never read any of her other books, but after reading this book I am absolutely going to start from number 1. Thank you to the author. I couldn't put it down the moment that I opened it!!

Sail

James Patterson, Howard Roughan

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Sail is one of James Pattersons GREATS!
I have read all of James Pattersons books, this was one of his best. I too read this book in less the 24 hours; I could not put it down! It is a great story, with great characters, filled with lots of suspense! Would love a follow up book to this, where are the Dunnes now???????????

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

319 reviews
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Random House, 2007

A philosophy from statistics
This is a very fun book to read. Taleb is one of those polymath writers who are totally unashamed to bloviate and utterly convinced he's right (and is willing to call Nobel laureates frauds!). And I give him credit for making statistics engaging to read and a philosophy to boot. My one criticism is his chapter on narrative fallacies. One of Taleb's arguments is that we should avoid seeing ...

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Couldn't put it down...
The perfect amount of angst and romance, along with sexy vampires and a relatable heroine make this series a delicious obsession.

Worth the spanish dictionary!!
This book is amazing! Even though I had to get a spanish to english dictionary in the beginning, it was well worth the time to read and translate the spanish slang terms. Great Book!

The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage)

547 reviews
Barack Obama

Vintage, 2008

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT BARACK OBAMA'S VIEWS ON HISTORY AND POLITICS
The book immediately held me with a beautiful description of the Senate chamber, followed by an analysis of how it operates. Mr. Obama writes in a warm, distinctive tone that instantly takes you into its confidence. In contrast to political books that sound like they were written by a campaign strategist, there is an authentic voice here. (Note to politicians: it helps if you actually write your ...

NOW WE ARE SOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE UPCOMING MOVIE! CANT WAIT

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Inspired...Hopeful...Daring to dream...Desperate for change
America is desperate for change. I fear how far the country will continue to spiral downward without it. Collectively, let us bless this man (and his family) with our thoughts, prayers and good intentions.

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Delicious Vampire Romance fraught with Angst
The obsession continues with the addition of this book to the Twilight saga. I can't seem to get enough of Bella, Edward, Jacob and all the Cullens!

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Intense and Fantastic!
When a friend recommended this book to me I didn't think anything of it. Then another friend...and another...and finally I gave it a go and OMG am I happy that I did. This book was probably one of the most intense, exciting, and romantic stories I have read in a while. I love the characters, their complicated relationships, and how it comes together in a sort of supernatural Romeo/Juliet kind ...

Black's Law Dictionary, Eighth Edition (Black's Law Dictionary (Standard Edition))

68 reviews

Thomson West, 2004

Indespensible Dictionary!
This dictionary will be well worn! It is indespensible and sits at my desk. Clear, concise easy reading print. It is one that you can't do without. With a tremendous amount of reading to be done as a student, this dictionary was printed with that in mind making a lot less a chore to use.

Dutton Adult, 2007

PAGE BURNER
After I read Pillars, I thought to myself, "no I want more," and then I found out, "hey there was more." I think this one might even surpass pillars in the emotional connections the reader makes with the characters. I finished this one in 3 days, KEN FOLLETT GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!

7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)

109 reviews
James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Loved 5th, missed 6th, loved 7th
I have become a huge Patterson after reading the 5th Horseman, lapsed on the 6th Target and found my way back for 7th Heaven. I just love the play on numbers. This is the 7th novel in his Women's Murder Club series and the book starts off in as far a place from heaven as possible with victims found bound and gagged and burned. Yet the mystery doesn't begin there as Patterson reveals to us who the ...

Leonard Susskind

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Clearest Explanations of Quantum Mechanics and String Theory Out There
If you want a clear explanation of the basics of quantum mechanics and string theory, read this book. In addition to learning more than you ever thought possible about the physics of black holes, author Leonard Susskind provides clear definitions of the seemingly craziest new developments in theoretical physics, such as The Holographic Principle, Black Hole Complimentarity, and anti-de Sitter ...

The Whole Truth

88 reviews
David Baldacci

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Pulse-pounding thriller with great characters, plot, etc.
The Whole Truth is my second Baldacci book, the first being The Collectors. Although the two are stylistically similar, if I did not know beforehand, I would have never suspected they were written by the same author -- The Whole Truth is much, MUCH better. The Collectors was good "fluff." Well this is EXCELLENT fluff! Where The Collectors was corny, tongue-in-cheek, and unbelievable, this book ...

The Gathering (Man Booker Prize)

Anne Enright

Grove Press, Black Cat, 2007

Difficulty coming to terms
Anne Enright has written a book that will (and has) spark debates for years to come. Admittedly, this book is not for everyone and more often than not the reader will have to re read it to fully understand what this book is about. I, for one, enjoyed this grim tale of Veronica Hegarty. The backdrop of the story is Irish and we're taken on an arduous journey of a woman trying to escape the ...

The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel

59 reviews
Alan Furst

Random House, 2008

Maybe the best yet.
Smooth, penetrating characters, historical accuracy, attention to detail, a time and place not visited often! Having read all of the Alan Furst novels since discovering them last Fall, I can say that this was one of the best for me. I loved the early LeCarre, but he got too strange for me. Furst has filled the void for one who loves spy novels of the WW II era. I now understand much more about ...

Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems

665 reviews
Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier

Three Rivers Press, 2007

helpful tips
I purchased this product after viewing a collection of Cesar's dvd's. They don't provide "How to..." for training a dog to do "Things"(sit, down, etc.) but they are very insightful in understanding how to have a good relationship with your pet as dog and master. The book has helped us get off to a good start with our new puppy.

Slaughterhouse-Five

695 reviews
Kurt Vonnegut

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999

Essential Vonnegut, still relevant today...
I don't care who you are, you absolutely need to read this book. It's justly considered a classic. The thing about it is that it isn't really a "humor book" like some of Vonnegut's other, justly famous works (Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater). Parts of it are funny - I especially like the segments with the bitter Kilgore Trout, a sci-fi author reputed to be one ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

315 reviews
Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

Great Book As Evidenced by Liberal Reviews & Placement
Plainly this book has been out for quite some time but until it showed up on audio I didn't even know it existed. Why? Because it was well hidden by the major book stores that typically hide anything conservative on the bottom shelf of some sociology section in the back of the store. If this were a fascist-liberal tome like Al Frankens "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot", there would have been ...
