Memos from the Chairman 14 reviews
Alan C. Greenberg
Workman Publishing Company, 1996
Haimchinkel Malintz Anaynikal speaks!
Alan "Ace" Greenberg's pithy sayings apparently created a spirit of comradery which brought Bear Stearns through the tumultuous 1970s and 80s, to be the powerhouse it is today. In addition to his many talents with arbitrage, yoyo, and playing bridge, the Chairman is a funny guy. It's heartwarming to know he still has his finger in the game, and that his successor is cut of the same cloth. Save ...

Chairman-X 10 reviews
Rami Loya
AuthorHouse, 2007
A Great Read!
Rami Loya has crafted a riveting action/suspense novel spanning decades and crossing boundaries in the Middle East. This is an original spy story complete with twists and turns that takes the reader deep into the psyche of characters in both the Israeli Mossad and the Palestinian PLO. It's evident that Loya did extensive research into his topic as fact and fiction are woven together into a tale ...

Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung 27 reviews
Mao Tse-Tung
Kiefer Press, 2008
The most re(a)d book of the past century?
Well, maybe not the most read (although still read very much), but probably the most red. Puns aside, this book is a very important read for us today. I think the best way to show this is to make the kind of list that Mao likes to.
1. It contains the central doctrine of a superpower.
2. It is written by a great conqueror and a successful military and civic dictator.
3. It teaches us ...

Thoughts of Chairman Buffett: Thirty Years of Unconventional Wisdom from the Sage of Omaha 4 reviews
Siimon Reynolds
Collins, 1998
succinct and powerful
I've read numerous books about Buffett. What i really like about this book is it's brevity. The author has assembled Warren's most poignant, pithy and brilliant quotes in one short , sharp book. I learnt more about Buffett's philosophies from the this little gem than from any other book on the subject. Frankly, it's a pity most other busineess books aren't this succinct.An outstanding read.

The Chairman: A Novel 27 reviews
Stephen Frey
Fawcett, 2005
The Chairman kept me glued to my chair!!!!!
Unlike Frey's first novel I read "The Day Trader" this novel is much improved. After reading just one page I was immediately sucked into the novel. I found each page to be better than the last and before I knew it the novel was complete!!! As a summer intern at an investment bank I felt that this novel was a very accurate depiction of the financial world. Even when I was at home reading this ...

The Private Life of Chairman Mao82 reviews
Li Zhi-Sui
Random House, 1996
Genuine portrait of Mao
It is difficult to find a relatively objective portrait of Mao, and Dr. Li provides one of the most direct and honest descriptions of the Chairman that I have been able to find. His knowledge of the details of the Chairman's political conflicts is often superficial or naive, but this stems from Dr. Li's desire to stay out of the dangerous, entangling politics that surrounded Mao. The real value ...

The Thoughts of Chairman Miaow1 review
Frank Hopkinson
Gramercy, 2005
Follow the wise fertiliser of Chairman Miaow's thoughts
One of those fun books that publishers love to put out and it could have been printed at any time since Chairman Mao's death. We've all seen those Chinese propaganda posters showing the Chairman exhorting the masses to strive forward (and don't forget to wave your little red book, or else) so why not replace his head with that of an earnest looking moggy and slightly adjust the posters words of ...

Quotations from Chairman LBJ1 review
Lyndon B Johnson
Simon and Schuster, 1968
Parody of Mao's Little Red Book
This is a peculiar little volume of quotes from former U.S. president Lyndon B. Johnson. It's a parody of the "Little Red Book" from China, which contained the quotations of Communist party Chairman Mao Tse-tung.
The quotations from LBJ were not chosen because they are insightful or important. Many of them appear to be taken out of context with the intention of being used humorously. Others ...

Chairman Mao Would Not Be Amused: Fiction from Today's China3 reviews
Grove Press, 1996
Eerie, funny, fascinating.
I picked this up because I'm going to China next month. This isn't a tour book, but it has gotten me excited about seeing the people and the place. It's almost like science fiction without the science -- stories from an alien culture.

The Chairman (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper))
Stephen Frey
Random House Large Print, 2005
No one knows the dark side of “The Street” better than master storyteller Stephen Frey, author of such riveting novels as Shadow Account and The Day Trader. Now, in his most ambitious work to date, Frey proves that no writer can put a high-powered hero at greater risk, nor offer readers more thrilling rewards. A towering legend among New York private equity partnerships, Everest Capital is aptly named. When its founder meets an ...

Mao: The Unknown Story252 reviews
Jung Chang, Jon Halliday
Knopf, 2005
Wow....
1st of all i think that the book was great. 2nd of all id like to point out that previous comments about men wanting to sleep with Mao is disgusting. In some countries you could be seriously punished for acting gay. 3rdly i think most of the reviews saying the book was bad are extremely baised. The people writing them "Worship Mao" and "Only read one page to tell book was bad." You definetly ...
