Del Rey, 2002

How to be happyh
This book is the ultimate litmus test as to whether the reader is ready to be happy and have joy in his life, or whether he wants to keep crying in his beer. If this book does not have you falling down on the floor laughing, then chuck it in.

The End of Eternity

54 reviews
Isaac Asimov

Del Rey, 1986

This Book is Why I'm a Time Travel Fan
Time travel is a great, speculative sub-genre of scifi. Although mildly dated this is book highly worthwhile. Asimov's storytelling and imagination are legendary due to works like this.

The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 1)

94 reviews
Robert E. Howard

Del Rey, 2005

The Master At His Best
The sheer number of reviews should offer solid evidence of just how popular Robert E. Howard's creation Conan the Barbarian is. Though other writers have offered their take on this great character, to fully appreciate Conan one must begin and end with Howard. Nobody but nobody wrote sword and sorcery to equal Howard. I find it interesting all of the in depth analysis of both Howard and his work ...

Misterio En El Castillo Del Terror/the Secret of Terror Castle

Robert Arthur

Molino, 1985

A Great Introduction
Quite a few children's mystery book series have become classics. Most people are familiar with Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and Tom Swift. Even the Boxcar Children are relatively well-known. However, Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators were well-written books that offered an intelligent, interesting and more contemporary alternative to many of the earlier classic series. Many people ...

HCI Espanol, 2003

A great gift!
I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.

First Strike (Halo)

94 reviews
Eric Nylund

Del Rey, 2003

Halo: Revenge of the Spartans
Spartan-104, Fredrick, twirled a combat knife, his fingers nimble despite the bulky MJOLNIR combat armor that encased his body. The blade traced a complicated series of arcs in the air. The few remaining naval personnel on the deck turned pale and averted their eyes- a Spartan wielding a knife was generally accompanied by the presence of several dead bodies. The third book, Halo: First strike, ...

Bridge of Birds: A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was

167 reviews
Barry Hughart

Del Rey, 1985

A Recent Favorite Discovery
This novel of an 'Ancient China that Never Was' is a brilliant gem of interweaving storylines that made me both smile and cry. It was alternately silly and beautiful, so much so that I want to use overblown adjectives to describe it. Basically, it was about a man looking to find a cure for a disease affecting the children of his village, but it turns out to be so much more. When first ...

Washington's Crossing (Pivotal Moments in American History)

85 reviews
David Hackett Fischer

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Captures the Humanity of Washington and the New Nation
This is a truly great piece of historical writing. Over the past several years, there have been three outstanding books about Washington and 1776: McCullough's "1776", Ellis' biography of Washington, and this book by Fischer. Fischer's is by far the best and deserved the Pulitizer Prize. Modern Americans have always been able to identify more with Lincoln than with Washington, the latter ...

Peniel, 2006

A book every minister should read
I have been amiss in not writing a review of this book. It is a great little book on effective ministry. His ideas of seeking the win are great. Everyone wants to be on the winning team, and churches need to define what a win is. Also, his stuff on reviewing ministry is important. So many congregations do the work every year, but some of the programs are dead, but no one will stop them. His ...

The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two (The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 2)

J.R.R. Tolkien

Del Rey, 1992

Essential Continuation to Part One. Tolkien'sEarly Myths
`The Book of Lost Tales, Part One and Part Two' by J. R. R. Tolkien, edited by son, Christopher Tolkien, is, according to the editor's Foreword, some of the very earliest works written by Tolkien on the mythology of Middle Earth. Many, it is stated, were drafted in the 1920s, nearly ten years before the start of `The Hobbit'. This is an important fact, as it means that they were not written to ...

The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

32 reviews
H.P. Lovecraft

Del Rey, 1987

Lovecraft at his best
Charles Dexter Ward is a young man in Providence, RI who is fascinated by antiquities --- too fascinated, perhaps. He becomes obsessed with an ancestor, an alleged warlock named Joseph Curwen who escaped persecution in Salem over 200 years before and fled to Providence. A unusually long-lived ancestor, I might add. If you aren't used to reading Lovecraft, or other writers of the same time ...

Return to Del (Deltora Quest #8)

23 reviews
Emily Rodda

Sagebrush, 2001

The Final Hour
This is most defenantly the best book of the series (at least the origanal Deltora Quests)! Others follow closly, but the end of the story and all the secrets revealed takes the cake! The climax gives just the right tone- choas and desparation. Excellent!

The Conquest of New Spain

21 reviews
Bernal Diaz del Castillo, John M. Cohen

bnpublishing.com, 2007

Great Eyewitness account
Diaz was one of the soldiers who accompanied Cortez to invade the Aztec Empire. His account is one of the best we have of the whole affair. It is not written with much bias and was written to discount historical myths after the invasion had taken place. It is very analytical at times and his analysis of what happened is given added authority since he was present at the events. If you want to ...

The Belgariad Set, Books 1-5: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit, Castle of Wizardry, & ...

36 reviews
David Eddings

Del Rey Books, 1986

A Great Read
Eddings' series The Belgariad is one of my all-time favorite reads. It's the classic fantasy good-vs.-evil, coming-of-age, lost-kings-returning, quest-with-companions epic. These are common themes in fantasy, but Eddings' writing is so witty, and his characters so intriguing, that it never gets old. He seems very aware he is using some well established cliches, but puts new twists on them and ...

Patricia A. Mckillip

Del Rey, 1989

Excellent....I'm Still In Shock
I'm still at a complete loss as to why I had never heard of this book before. The storyline is delightfully complex for as short as it is. The descriptions are lush and beautiful, but not so much as to bore. As a new English teacher, I plan on using this book for my classes during our study of fantasy-based romance. The characters are deep and very profound, and it would be an excellent read for ...

Wasp

25 reviews
Eric Frank Russell

Del Rey, 1986

A powerful lesson on propaganda
Eric Frank Russell has long been my favourite sci-fi author. He creates fascinating characters who win out through intellect and logic, rather than brawn, usually, and WASP is no exception. The book is set in the future, with the Earth up against the Sirian Combine - a galactic conglomeration of planets intent on conquering the Earth. While the Terrans (read: Earthlings) have superior weapons ...

The Unforsaken Hiero

28 reviews
Sterling E. Lanier

Del Rey, 1984

SOME OF THE BEST IN THIS GENRE
Like the reviewer "Catfish," I keep coming back to this book and it's predecessor "Hiero's Journey." This work is also on my top ten list of all time bests. I am always a bit surprised that more have not read them. The story line is almost flawless and the character development is acute. Lanier's smooth prose just tops it off. This is one of those works which I reread every year or so. ...

This includes three of Howards longer Conan stories, including one that is full novel length, one rough draft of another story, Howards notes on the stories preceding their completion, two essays pertaining to Howard and his writings by people who helped put this book together and on top of all that its full of illustrations throughout the book. Very affordable and the quality of the stories are ...
