Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)26 reviews
Steve Solomon

New Society Publishers, 2006

Just what I needed!
Only a few pages into this book I realized I needed to read it before continuing with my gardening plans. I am thrilled to have the good solid advice. For me, I treasured the relearning of the things my father taught me so many years ago. Digging the garden, fertilizing the soil, using coffee grounds and how to weed were only vague memories which had been over-written by today's easy methods ... 		  
  







  
  
The Count of Monte Cristo (Modern Library Classics)27 reviews
Alexandre Dumas

Modern Library, 2002

Revenge is Bittersweet
Fifteen hundred pages, what a whopper of a story, but I've read far shorter books that bored me to tears. Not this one. Sometimes I felt Dumas could have been a Russian novelist, intertwining the lives of noble families to the point where I needed a scorecard. The Count could have gone around with his rapier and pistol and gotten revenge in just a few pages but instead allows his enemies to ...

It has everything one could want in a book and more: adventure, fighting, planning, tales of riches, tales of suffering, tales of ultimate betrayal and revenge, and even a little love. This book may be long, but every single page is worth your time. It is written so perfectly and the story put together with such great design...an epic tale ... 		  
  







  
  
The Count of Monte Cristo: Abridged Edition (Dover Value Editions)
Alexandre Dumas père

Dover Publications, 2007

Falsely accused during the final days of Napoleon's reign, Edmond Dantès is imprisoned in the bleak Chateau d'If. After a hair-raising escape, he launches an elaborate plot to extract a bitter revenge against those who betrayed him. Amazingly based on actual events, Dumas' labyrinthine tale is popular fiction of the highest mark. 		  
  







  
  
The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't117 reviews
Kenneth L. Fisher

Wiley, 2006

Get a healthy new perspective on the markets
Fisher's book explodes a number of market myths that are taken as conventional wisdom by most investors, very much to their disadvantage. Fisher not only puts matters in perspective, he teaches you how to think about markets, how to identify opportunities, when to take risks, when to play safe, when to get in, when to get out, etc. I like the way he writes, stating general principles and backing ...

Mouse Count9 reviews
Ellen Stoll Walsh

Voyager Books, 1995

Mouse Count - Love this Book!
This book is a really fun one to read aloud to my kindergarten class. It is not scary! They love it! And the fact that snakes eat mice is a basic fact that they understand. I especially like the moral of this story: Don't be greedy! When I read it, I always hear "Read it again, please". To make it even more fun, we get a plastic jar, a toy snake, a rock, and little toy mice to dramatize the ... 		  
  







  
  
Don't Make Me Count to Three: a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline84 reviews
Ginger Plowman

Shepherd Press, 2004

Saw results right away!
I always counted to three, used time-out. No longer, my child listens for the most part and really seems to respond to the techniques used in this book. I've already lent it to a friend, and have a few waiting in line. A must read.

Your Money Counts13 reviews
Jr., Howard L. Dayton

Tyndale House Publishers, 1997

Informative and Enjoyable
This is a fantastic book. It's easy and enjoyable to read. It tells you all those common sense things about money that we often lose sight of in this world's culture of materialism and 'gotta have it now' attitudes. I've read it multiple times and it just keeps driving home those truths you need to be reminded of like figuring out contentment, the value to giving and saving, etc. 		  
  







  
  
The Count of Monte Cristo (Enriched Classics)13 reviews
Alexandre Dumas père

Pocket, 2004

ABRIDGED version of the classic story, good resources in back
I am reviewing the Pocket Books Enriched Classics version of the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. At about chapter 30, I was hooked on the story and reading reviews and doing research on it. At that point I discovered the Pocket Books version is an ABRIDGED version with about 70 chapters. The real version has around 117 chapters. This frustrated me immensely because nowhere on the Pocket ... 		  
  







  
  
The Count of Concord
Nicholas Delbanco

Dalkey Archive Press, 2008

Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, was—as Nicholas Delbanco writes—"world famous in his lifetime," yet now he has been "almost wholly forgotten." Like Delbanco himself, Sally Ormsby Thompson Robinson—the narrator of this novel and the Count s fictional, last-surviving relative—is "haunted" by one of history's most fascinating and remarkable figures. On par with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, Count Rumford was, among many other ... 		  
  







  
  
The Count of Monte Cristo (Barnes & Noble Classics)2 reviews
Alexandre Dumas père

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

A must read!
Simply put, I love this book. What a great book to introduce to students interested in historical adventures, and this one is spot on. It's one of the great adventure novels, with lots of action, well-written characters, important issues, and can be read quickly because of its compelling storyline. Also, there is the deception factor,which makes for great storytelling, but in this case the ...

Two Ways to Count to Ten: A Liberian Folktale3 reviews
Ruby Dee

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1990

A multi-cultural math tale
I have used this book to teach mathematic lessons to grades one through three. It serves as a great springboard for discussion on factors, prime numbers and patterns. The pictures are delightful and the children love to make predictions on just who will make the King happy. My students choose to return to this book over and over again. 		  
  







  
  
Count Zero63 reviews
William Gibson

Ace Trade, 2006

Cyberpunk sweetness
First 25%, get your bearings on the story threads. A lot going on here- people, places, virtual reality, reality, etc. Had to be patient to put the new information into my folder called, "Sweet." Middle 50%, feel out the people, plot and possibilities. Stacks of circumstances pile up. I ask myself if and when it will topple. Stacks weave, twist and waver until they form a wonderful ... 		  
  







  
  
The Count of Monte Cristo26 reviews
Alexandre Dumas pere

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

Of revenge and redemption
The Count of Monte Cristo was a Superhero long before Superheros were cool. A 19th-century cross between James Bond, Batman, Zoro, and Dirty Harry, the title character is a seemingly all powerful and all knowing master of all trades, whether languages, art, chemistry, disguise, psychology, philosophy, theology, international relations, literature, protocol, diplomacy, or combat. But he is ...
