David Wroblewski

Ecco, 2008

A Classic
I truly believe that I have just read a book that will meet all the criteria of a classic of American literature. It will rank up there with WATERSHIP DOWN and even Shakespeare's plots and prose. This is a first offering by this author and I am anticipating so much more in the future. Pure craftsmanship of plot...superb character exploration...and incredible research into all aspects of the ...

Tim Russert

Miramax, 2005

great story by a good man
I am deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Tim Russert. Obviously I didnt know him on a personal basis, only through the media. But he made each and every one of us feel he was our best friend. I saw a man who was deeply religious, sweet, good, loving of his country and a great father, husband and friend. You could tell how important family was to him and this book only solidifies the obvious. ...

Eckhart Tolle

Penguin, 2008

Saved my life-
I began reading A New Earth during a very dark and confusing time in my life. I was looking for something to help me find strength and positivity in myself so that I could be a better person for those that I love. I looked forward to reading even just a few pages each day to lift my focus on life. I have recommended the book to so many others. While it does read a bit clinical in some areas, ...

Tall, refreshing glass of haterade!
Cheers, America! And be thankful Dick Morris is shining the light of truth and showing us that we are not a nation of hacks who only want to exploit divisiveness.

When You Are Engulfed in Flames

David Sedaris

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Take This Book on Staycation
This is the must-read book for anyone taking a "staycation" this summer. Sit in a chair and forget about the high price of gas and the economy tanking while laughing out loud at twisted mind of David Sedaris. He mines the commonality of everyday experiences - - an obnoxious seat-mate on an airplane flight, the use of certain four-letter words, walking at a different speed than your partner on a ...

Windblown Media, 2007

This book touched me on a level nothing has in years!
There are not enough beautiful words in my mind to describe this book. I want to buy it for everyone I know. My deepest wish is that this book will become a film to touch so many more lives! I envisioned it on every level. If all the world had this understanding of God there would be a GOD Revolution of such magnitude that the Godless would fall to their knees and beg for forgiveness. I will ...

My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey

44 reviews
Jill Bolte Taylor

Viking Adult, 2008

brilliant introduction to the functions of the right brain
I wanted to read this book because I have a professional and personal interest in both recovery from strokes--the proverbial 'insult to the brain'-- and because I was inspired by Dr Bolte Taylor's TED lecture recounting the short and longterm consequences of the cerebral hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. The book is for the general reader, and I cannot recommend it too highly.My ...

Janet Evanovich

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Fun reading - just what I expected!
I'm a high school English teacher. During the school year my "pleasure" reading involves challenging, thought-provoking reading. During the summer I just won't to be entertained! I don't want to have to "think" about what I'm reading. Fearless Fourteen is pure entertainment, and I thank Janet for another good read. The novel is exactly what I expect from Janet - fun. Surely those of us who ...

Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons

Tim Russert

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

Buffalo Wings
The coasts have had too much influence on America for the last 50 years, beginning with Rock & Roll, I suppose, and the cult of youth. There is much to be said for the heartland beginning with the unglamorous mid-west and the great rust-belt cities of Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and the crown jewel, Chicago. Russert was all about being from Buffalo, a town joked about by those seeking ...

Brad Thor

Atria, 2008

Post 9/11 Thriller
I heard Brad Thor being interviewed on the radio, taking about how George Bush wasn't the first Western leader to go to war against Islam, The French nobles combined with the English Crusaders and Spanish Christians went to war and sacked Jerusalem more times than historians can remember. The City of Jerusalem has been the cause of religous wars since time was recorded, and continues to do the ...

Eclipse Special Edition ( The Twilight Saga)
I enjoyed this book very much. Although like a few other books, there are a couple parts that dragged, the book flowed very smoothly, and created a great mental picture. It kept my attention, and kept me yearning for more, until the very last page. I can't wait for the next book to be out, because although it didn't leave you hanging.... it left you right at the edge, still wanting more. Even if ...

Jane Green

Viking Adult, 2008

Amazing!
Wow this book is amazing!! Jane Green is one of my favorite authors and when I read the back cover of this book, I have to admit, I wasnt sure if I was going to like it. But, it is one of her best books yet! I could not put this book down and it was one of these books that you hate to finish because you are enjoying it so much.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

1090 reviews
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

A real inspiration
The rare book that is both gripping and inspirational. It is an amazing story of what one man can accomplish when he is totally dedicated to his mission. One only hopes that Mrs. Mortenson will write her own book, since her life has been lived very differently as she supports his dedication to his work.
