Young Bucks: How to Raise a Future Millionaire

7 reviews
Troy Dunn

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Handbook for Encouraging Young Entrepreneurs
This is one of the best books I have read on how to encourage the young entrepreneur in your family. Troy Dunn should know because six of his seven children are entrepreneurs! The youngest is making $85 per hour baking and selling cookies at soccer games. Troy outlines specific steps for each age group and gives some examples of businesses kids can try. Even though the sub-title is "how to raise ...

Hermes Press, 2008

Repro of Buck Rogers' Origins Tale
This is a very nicely done reproduction of the original short story 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' as authored by Phillip Francis Nowlan in the late 1920s. (J. Dille is often incorrectly cited as Buck's creator when actually Dille was Nowlan's publisher and ultimately wound-up as the owner of the Buck Rogers licensing rights). The story contained herein is one of those included in the ...

My very favorite Heyer Regency!
I have read all of Georgette Heyer's books, and Regency Buck remains my favorite -- after a few dozen readings! The mysterious plot, the wonderful dialogue, the splendid Regency settings, the chemistry between the impulsive heroine and the sardonic hero -- all these add up to a Regency masterpiece and the ultimate rainy night comfort read! (I did not, however, enjoy the audio-book version read ...

Call of Duty: My Life Before, During and After the Band of Brothers

Lt. Lynn "Buck" Compton, Marcus Brotherton

Berkley Hardcover, 2008

A Man of Exceptional Character
As the Title states this is about Before, During, and After WWII. I never did consider these guys ''The Greatest Generation'' because they won a Popular War that our Government wanted to win. Americans could win any war that We Were Allowed to Win. These guys did, however, go through the Great Depression as kids and most had developed a sense of responsability in their early years. As a child ...

The Good Earth (Enriched Classics)

Pearl S. Buck

Pocket Books, 2005

Mentally Challenged Character
Really liked this book, but hated how Wang Lung and his family treated his oldest daughter. She is never given a name. She's only referred to as "The Fool". The family leaves her to play alone, outside, with her piece of cloth. Rarely do they check up on her. And, if nobody thinks about it she is sometimes left outdoors. She's treated this way just because she is mentally challenged. It's ...

Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies & Bucks: An Interpretive History of Blacks in American Films

Donald Bogle

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2001

One of the Best Books I have read
This is perhaps the GREATEST book accounting the plight of Blacks in film. I read this book for a class titled "Blacks in the Electronic Media" during undergrad. After reading this book and watching television, I honestly felt as if I were let out of the "Matrix." To this day, I can not watch television and not be critical of whats being aired. These charatcters are very visible today at this ...

A House Divided (Good Earth Trilogy, Vol 3)

9 reviews
Pearl S. Buck

Moyer Bell, 1994

An insightful adventure...
I would say that this book could certainly stand alone simply because there was so much happening in this turbulent setting of the revolution. In many ways "A House Divided" was my favorite of the "House of Earth" trilogy, (still, The Good Earth was beautiful!) because it was an adventure that spanned the globe. Yet there was no lack in telling how the main character evolved emotionally and ...

VERY WELL WRITTEN
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ ON HOW TO AND WHERE TO HUNT BUCKS. IF YOU CAN'T LEARN FROM THIS BOOK THAN YOUR EGO HAS GOTTEN IN THE WAY, BECAUSE I DON'T CARE IF YOUR A NOVICE OR SEASONED HUNTER YOU CAN DIFFENTLY PICK UP TACTICS ON WHERE TO HUNT IN THE WOODS BY READING THIS BOOK. A MUST HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION

Sons (Good Earth Trilogy, Vol 2)

Pearl S. Buck

Moyer Bell, 1992

Is Wang Lung Spinning in His Grave?
SONS is the sequel to the famous (and thanks to Oprah - newly popular) THE GOOD EARTH. The story begins just where the previous book left off, with Wang Lung a dying old man, hoping his sons will handle his legacy wisely. Of course, they do not. The oldest son, Wang The Landlord, turns into fat, greedy man who sells off much of the land to pursue hedonistic pleasures. Wang the Merchant, the ...

Believe: A Horseman's Journey

4 reviews
Buck Brannaman, William Reynolds

The Lyons Press, 2006

Buck's way has changed my life.
Please read my review for Buck's book "The Faraway Horses," and read that book before you read "Believe." I can't say enough good things about Buck-- his way has truly changed my life. This book has the added dimension of having every other chapter be a true account from individuals whose lives have been changed and affected for the better by learning about Buck's way. Highly recommend.

Mahabharata

William Buck

University of California Press, 2000

William Buck's version of the Mahabharata
I looked at excerpts from various retellings of the Mahabharata story before purchasing Buck's version and that of R. K. Narayan. The latter gives an adequate, well-told resumé of the story. In addition, it includes a genealogical table and a pronouncing dictionary of principal characters. But Buck's version is more complete and -- especially -- more enthralling. I can't speak for the ...

Timothy R. Smith, Mark Herrick

Buck Wilder Books, 1995

Wonderful book to create a spirit of adventure for children.
Children love adventure, and Buck Wilder is a wonderful character that inspires the spirit. Even if your children have never ventured to the lake or stream with a fishing pole, Buck will make them wish they could find a favorite pond today. My children loved the characters and even had an adventure reading dozens of tips that are written along the borders of the book.

The Story Bible

Pearl S. Buck

Random House Value Publishing, 1997

A wonderful, classic retelling
Pearl Buck's Story Bible is in the same league with Jesse Lyman Hurlbut's and Elsie Egermeier's books (Bible stories rewritten with children in mind.) Of the three, Buck's was written most recently. Buck's rendition of the Bible stories is intelligent, detailed, and reverent. One father of four told me this was the best book he's ever read! Parents should purchase at least one Bible story book ...

Following the death of the consort of the Emperor of China, the young daughters of the minor aristocracy are sent to the palace to be chosen as concubines for him and are selected by the Empress Mother.

Ramayana

William Buck

University of California Press, 2000

Amazing
I was enthralled with this story years ago and continue to be. This condensed translation I think is excellent because it allows those who don't want to read an exhaustively long original version to experience this masterpiece of mythology. As an influencial piece in Hindu culture, understanding this writing is crucial for understanding human nature. But I am appalled by the writer from ...

Three Daughters of Madame Liang (Buck, Pearl S. Oriental Novels of Pearl S. Buck, 4th,)

10 reviews
Pearl S. Buck

Moyer Bell, 1991

A Moving, Deeply Personal Account of the Cultural Revolution
I have read more than a dozen novels by the extraordinary Pearl S. Buck, and this is one of my all time favorites. Buck's lucid writing, and deep understanding of complex cultural issues makes this a gem. Set against the back-drop of the Chinese cultural Revolution, THE THREE DAUGHTERS OF MADAME LIANG charts the deeply personal journey and loss of one Chinese family. There is a sophistication to ...

Ben Rehder

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2003

I loved it
This is not haute literature - but it is funny and great fun to read. IMHO. I read his second book first, and liked it too. Just a great change of pace when you need something a little wacky.

Jesus H Wheelchair This Is Good!
A Million Bucks By Thirty is ostensibly a self help finance guide but the book could just as easily be stocked in the humor section-I mean this is in a positive way; not like his advice is a big joke...I have adopted many of his tips. Alan's wry tone and wacky non sequiturs makes it the perfect gift for a cynical recent high school or college grad. What the Punky Brester more could you ...

Pearl S. Buck: A Cultural Biography

9 reviews
Peter Conn

Cambridge University Press, 1998

An Excellent Portrayal of an Extraordinary Woman
Peter Conn's sweeping biography of Pearl Buck is as fascinating and provocative as Ms. Buck herself. I have been an admirer of Buck's writing for years, however I never knew the true depth of her character and achievements until I read Conn's book. Not only was the Nobel Prize winner an excellent writer and champion of Chinese causes, but she was a staunch supporter of civil and women's rights, a ...
