When Pride Still Mattered141 reviews

Simon & Schuster, 2004

A very engrossing read
I picked up this book after hearing a strong recommendation. I knew next to nothing about Vince Lombardi, other than that he was an excellent football coach. Very glad I bought the book as this was a particularly engrossing biography. The author was very thorough in his research and traces Lombardi's life in detail for his full nearly 60 years. He provides a lot of detail on Lombardi's ... 		  
  







  
  
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations (Unabridged)1210 reviews
Relin, Greg, David Oliver Mortenson

Boys and Girls: Raining on this Happy Parade
Yes, this is a marvelous tale of compassion and dedication. But there are reasons to fear that it's sadly misdirected and may not accomplish all that it might. The problem lies in the basic mission of the Central Asia Institute as stated on their website (ikat dot org): "To Promote and support community-based education, especially for girls, in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan." ... 		  
  







  
  
The Book of Atrus (Myst, Book 1)197 reviews

Hyperion, 1995

Myst: The Book of Atrus
It really seems only fitting that a video game about books would have a series of books published in its name. For some reason when such books were first coming out I was sort of skeptical about their quality. I truly am glad I overcame this and decided to pick up the Myst books. I was an early enough adopter to be able to get all the hardcover texts and they are all beautifully designed. ... 		  
  







  
  
The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer162 reviews
David A. Whitsett, Forrest A. Dolgener, ...

McGraw-Hill, 1998

As a Physical Therapist, I highly recommend this book.
I am a physical therapist who also enjoys (???) running. This past Fall, I finished my 2nd marathon in Appleton, WI. My first was Grandma's in Duluth, MN in 2002 (before children). This second marathon I used the same program but had to add the walk to run progarm in also as I had a one year old and a two year old at home now! I was not quite in the same shape I had been for the previous ... 		  
  







  
  
Truman277 reviews
David McCullough, 2008

wonderful sense of American history
I have read most of McCullough's books, and so I knew that after reading this I would understand Harry S. Truman more deeply than I ever had. What I didn't know what was that I would learn so much about 20th century American history. McCullough is a great story-teller. His use of historical details to recreate the man and the times is magnificent. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

The Lords of Discipline: Library Edition168 reviews
Pat Conroy

Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006

Duty, Honor, Country
The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ... 		  
  







  
  
Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain224 reviews
David Buchholz

Workman Publishing Company, 2002

This program works
I first saw Dr. Buchholz 12 years ago for severe headaches. I had been to numerous doctors and had tried many things including sinus remedies, acupuncture and Imitrex injections. With every failed treatment, I felt physically and emotionally worse. It took me awhile to buy in to Dr. Buchholz's program but I was desperate so finally gave it a try. After 2 weeks I felt better and after two ... 		  
  







  
  
Smart Women Finish Rich138 reviews

Rosetta, 2004

His Grandmother Taught Him Well!
Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well. I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out ... 		  
  







  
  
John Dies at the End107 reviews
David Wong

Permuted Press, 2007

Hilarious Horror with a SF twist
For a horror book that starts out with a battle between John and David and a Meat Monster made from jumbled freezer parts, you know you can't go wrong with 'John Dies At The End'. Add in a dog named Molly with some amazing hidden abilities including appearing again after blowing up, and you're on your way to a hilarious yet horrifying adventure. You won't be able to put it down. David tells ... 		  
  







  
  
House to House122 reviews
David Bellavia, John R., Jr. Bruning

Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007

Compelling read
Fast read, hard to put the book down, nonstop pace. The author's description of his inner struggle to "finish the job" he began in the midst of the siege was quite moving. Even more moving was the author's return back to Fallujah to honor the dead . Great book, highly recommended. 		  
  







  
  
The Book of Ti'Ana (Myst, Book 2)125 reviews
Rand Miller, David Wingrove

Hyperion Books, 1996

Another phenomenal background story for Myst
Needless to say after finishing "The Book of Atrus" I had fairly high expectations for this series going forward. At the end of "The Book of Atrus" we think the story is going to continue forward from that point, but there is a major story that has not been told yet. The fall of D'ni. This tale is frequently alluded to in the game and the prior book. In fact most of the prior book is trying ... 		  
  







  
  
The Brothers K117 reviews
David James Duncan

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1996

Simply Outstanding
Beautiful writing. Simply one of the best books by a living author that I've read. If you have interest in great writing, baseball, or Christianity, you'll enjoy the book. If you're a fan of all three, it'll be one of your favorites. 		  
  







  
  
The Charlie's Angels Casebook110 reviews
David Hofstede, Jack Condon

Pomegranate Press (CA), 2000

Complete and fun reference book
This is such a fun book! Lots of rare photos of all cast members. I really enjoyed the stories and anecdotes from all the personal interviews with the different cast members. This book obviously took lots of time and effort to compile. I was won over in the first few pages where proper hommage is paid to the Angels' predecessors in female crime-fighting : Anne Francis as Honey West and Diana Rigg ... 		  
  







  
  
A Rumor of War105 reviews
Philip Caputo

Holt Paperbacks, 1996

Excellent look into front line Vietnam
I thought this book was the best book on Vietnam that I have ever read. Its a facinating look into life as a line officer in a front line Marine Infantry batallion during the early part of the war. Caputo holds nothing back when it comes to describing life on the front line and what goes through the minds of these young, too young Marines who fought on the front line. An excellent read and I ... 		  
  







  
  
14 Qualities of Successful Musicians, Songwriters, and Music Business Professionals117 reviews
David Hooper

Kathode Ray Music, 2005

Awesome!
I just got my copy of this CD and I listened to it immediatly. David Hooper, gives lots of great ideas for being successful in music and any business, or life. Some of the things he talked about re-affirmed what I had been doing, but he gave enough 'new' ideas to really kick my music career to the next level! 		  
  







  
  
The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea97 reviews

Portfolio, 2007

Finally, advice that I can put into action!
I read a lot of inspirational and motivational books, and I confess that I usually feel good about them for a short while and then gradually forget the details. HOWEVER, with "The Go-Giver", I find myself remembering the principles and putting them into action. And, I don't mean once in a while, but every day since I read the book. It feels as natural as breathing. The funny thing is the ... 		  
  







  
  
Stellaluna & Other Bat Stories98 reviews
David Holt

High Windy Audio, 1995

My favorite children's book
Note: My reviews are plagued by cyber stalkers who distort votes totals. If I HAD to answer the question: What is your favorite children's book?, I would have to pick "Stellaluna." There, this children's librarian committed, but I think my students would know that. It's one of their favorites, too!! What makes this book so special? E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!! The story line, the embedded lessons, ...
