Damn Near Dead: An Anthology of Geezer Noir

7 reviews
Duane Swierczynski, Laura Lippman, ...

Busted Flush Press, 2006

Black Diamonds
What a terrific anthology - kudo's to editor/author Duane Swierczynski for compiling this collection of short stories that define noir - hardboiled gems written with cracked asphalt and broken beer bottles; brown paper bags with cold cash or cheap whiskey or untraceable .38s. I found many of my favorite authors here - Bruen, Burton, Cotterill, Stella, Brewer, Gischler, Doolittle, and of course ...

The Von Hoffmann Bros.' Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness

Todd Von Hoffmann, Brant Von Hoffmann, ...

Stoddart, 1998

"Welcome to manhood son!"
I have owned this book for several years and reference it on a regular basis in MANLY conversations. I have purchased several copies and give it as a gift only to very deserving "manly" friends and each time they have been eternally grateful. I decided to add a review after making the "Salt Steak" this weekend. It was unbelievably delicious even after wrapping in in newspaper and soaking it in a ...

A Thinker's Damn : Audie Murphy, Vietnam, and the Making of The Quiet American

8 reviews
William Russo

D T T N, 1999

Special Book!
What I like most about this book is that it takes a few months from 1957 on a film location and tells how it feels to be there. The movie was not great, and it was forgotten soon enough. Yet, the atmosphere of film making and the camaraderie of the crew and cast is just a wonderful experience. Yes, they had some terrible times, with ego clashing and scandals covered up, but it is such a ...

Design Like You Give a Damn: Architectural Responses to Humanitarian Crises

Architecture for Humanity

Metropolis Books, 2006

INCREDIBLE
Okay, so I havent actually read the book but Cameron Sinclair came to my school a month ago to give a lecture based on the book. It was one of the most motivating and perspective changing experiences that Ive ever had. It gave me a totally new perspective on architecture. People in studio were pinning up signs on their boards that said "Design Like You Give a Damn." Cameron Sinclair is an amazing ...

Blackadder: The Whole Damn Dynasty, 1485-1917

14 reviews
Richard Curtis, Ben Elton, ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2000

A giant rollercoaster of a novel in 400 sizzling chapters.
Well maybe not, but it is over 450 pages of Blackadder! "This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language." Just kidding, I just had to say that. What this book does contain is the complete scripts for all 24 episodes of the entire Blackadder series written by Richard Curtis & Ben Elton, who are both "as clever as a stick in a bucket of pig swill." and starring the "quite brilliant" ...

The Official Damn Small Linux(R) Book: The Tiny Adaptable Linux(R) That Runs on Anything (Negus Live Linux ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

One of Two Must Have Embedded Linux Books
I first started my journey into DSL via another book; Craig Hollabaugh's "Embedded Linux, Hardware, Software, & Interfacing," 2002, ISBN 0-672-32226-9. This book is extremely valuable, if you wish to know how to put together a small single purpose embedded Linux system. However, by the time that I began to read it in 2005 (marriage, moving), it was beginning to show it's age. Most of the links to ...

Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director

214 reviews
Lloyd Kaufman

L.A. Weekly Books, 2003

Inspiring and informative!
Even if you have already been through all the stages of filmmaking yourself, this book is an inspiring battle cry for the TRUE indie filmmaker. It also made me laugh out loud several times. I happened to be on the NYC subway when this happened and it made some of my fellow passengers scared of me. What other book about filmmaking can do that?

Best Damn Garage in Town: The World According to Smokey

8 reviews
Henry Yunick

Carbon Press, LC, 2001

Worth every dollar and every minute
Simply put this is one of the best books about racing I have ever read. Smokey's stories are entertaining, hilarious, and insightful. His kind will not be by this way again! If you like racing of any kind, this book is a must read. It is well worth both the time and the money.

I'll Do My Own Damn Killin'

Gary Sleeper

Barricade Books, 2006

The Texas Gambling War: he who lives by the shotgun dies by the shotgun (or nitro)
Although that fellow on the cover could not read, he was making over a million dollars a year from illegal gambling --in 1940! (That was a lot of dough!) Anyone encroaching on his business was killed in "a clear cut case of self-defense." ;^) The title is both a quote and a lie. He is portrayed as a self-made man in a world of treachery. This is more than a chronology of a gangland war; ...

Damn The Statistics, I Have a Life to Live!: Coping with a Brain Tumor My Personal Story

4 reviews
H. Charles Wolf

1st Books Library, 2003

Worth reading if you know someone with a brain tumor.
I read this book when my mother was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme IV. It was very quick and easy reading, which is good during a time like this. It tells what this guy experienced from the beginning symptoms, through surgery, and recovery. It helped to reaffirm that what the doctors were doing for my mom was the "standard" procedure for this type of cancer, and helped to familiarize ...

Alyson Books, 2003

Buy this book now!
Lillian Byrd is back and she is as sarcastic, human, and intuitive as she was in her first book, "Holy Hell". There are several laugh out loud funny parts as well as some deliciously creepy ones. The story gets going right away and before we know it Lillian is on a plane with Todd the rabbit, heading to California to meet up with her old friend Truby (who turns out to be a fun side story) and ...

The Fundamentals of Listing and Selling Commercial Real Estate

Loren K. Keim

Infinity Publishing, 2007

Outstanding - A Must Read for Commercial Real Estate Brokers
In the past, I had been disappointed when reading other books about Commercial Real Estate. I've seen real basic introduction books, books that define investment and commercial terms, but don't really explain them, and books that just paste together checklists about selling investment property or commercial property. This book was totally different. "The Fundamentals of Listing and Selling ...

Career Press, 1997

This is GREAT!
I bought this book to help me give my first corporate speech. Not only did I give a damn good speech, but every aspect of my communicating life has been improved. I use Theibert's methods for giving speeches, writing, phone calls, and daily conversations. Now I feel more comfortable communicating, whatever the situation.

Why Am I So DAMN Unhappy?: And What to Do About It

5 reviews
James, Jr., Ph.d. Downton

Robert Reed Publishers, 2008

Thanks, Dr. Bob
When I first started Chapter One, I thought "Oh, this insight is perfect for my husband." He happens to be a great guy, but he lets his "inner critic" bring him down. As I read more, questions started to come up: how do I try to prove myself to others? How do I make them prove themselves to me? Finally, I decided it would work better to read the book for myself instead of my husband. What's all ...

Janet Cargill

AuthorHouse, 2007

Buy this book!
Listen up, ladies! Buy this book -- (better yet, hire her if you live in the New Jersey area!) It's a quick read jam-packed full of her wise and witty adages, relatable stories and specific how-to's. It feels just like sitting down to chat with her over a cup of tea. After hiring Janet to work with me as an Image Consultant, I knew I HAD to buy her book. She is such a font of wisdom -- and ...

One Damn Blunder from Beginning to End: The Red River Campaign of 1864 (American Crisis Series)

5 reviews
Gary Dillard Joiner

SR Books, 2002

Excellent Campaign History
This book proves that silly ideas, misunderstandings, stupidity and political expediency are not limited to our times. Mixing in a good deal of greed, a chance to capture large amounts of cotton, called white gold, can move along just about anything along. The Red River Campaign of 1864 qualifies for one of the best examples of this. The idea was to deal the CSA in the Trans-Mississippi a ...
