Love IT
This is one of the best romance books that Sandra Brown has written. I love books about star crossed lovers. This book also gives us a small insight to the world of a deaf child and the family relationships that evolve around them (even though you can't this a normal family).

Listen to "the voice of God"!
Not only is this a collection of inspiring and significant speeches given by Barbara Jordan, one of America's most amazing public figures, but it's also a DVD that lets you watch and listen to this commanding woman whose voice was called by political colleagues, "the voice of God." A treasure.

A charming book about a grand lady
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was without a doubt one of America?s most admired first ladies and that is the major theme of this book. Although the book - a collection of quotes taken from a variety of sources, mostly interviews given by Mrs. Kennedy - spans her lifetime, a good portion is devoted to Jackie?s roles as the young wife of Senator John F. Kennedy and as the Nation?s First Lady. ...

A logophile's delight!
You don't have to be a PYSMATIC LOGOMANIAC to enjoy this book, but it helps. You'll learn that Dolly Parton is BATHYCOLPIAN, that Osama bin Ladin is a CAITIFF, that H.Ross Perot is MACROTOUS, that H.L. Mencken truly was a NULLIFIAN, and that many lawyers engage in PLEONASM. The words in all caps are among the gems I discovered in this treasure-trove of "overly eloquent words for everday ...

Take a trip away from reality for a few hours in a day
Sandra Brown CD Collection was something I had to purchase after reading Bitter Sweet Rain. This writer takes me away from reality for a moment in time when I very much need it. All of the elements are in her stories, it touches base with sadness, joy, and laughter which is one of the best medicines a person could use in the coarse of a hectic day. A very detailed oriented writer that won me ...

An excellent look at Lincoln's developing eloquence
In this book, White expands the focus from his previous work on Lincoln's Second Inaugural ("Lincoln's Greatest Speech" published in 2002). White looks at the progression of Lincoln's thought and the increasing greatness and eloquence of his speeches and public letters during his presidency that leads to that final and considered by many to be his greatest major speech.

Reversal
Hugh Bowen
Eloquent Books, 2008
Reversal has its origin in a couple where the wife was determined on feminizing her young husband. As the story proceeds facts and views about sex, human gender, the commercial sex business, perverse sex practices, and futuristic possibilities in medical procedures come into play. However the book is not a scientific or objective account of transsexualism, the transgender community, or commercial sex and should not be read as such. Rather ...

A Great First Novel
This is an excellent first novel in what looks to be a promising series. It takes the reader on an adventure to another world where through the eyes of the main character we get to be 16 years old again, going on adventures, getting in battles, making new friends, and falling in love. A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would recommend this one to anyone who has ever enjoyed a fantasy or ...

Exquisite, Life-Enhancing Prose
As a writer, I love this beautiful little book. As simply a reader, I still would have loved it! Son of outstanding poet, William Stafford, Kim Robert Stafford has his own unique and beautiful writing style. There is a succinct eloquence in his prose that, at times, is so poetically breath-taking ~ one must stop, go back and re-read the given passage to savour the hidden nuance of deeper ...

An absolutely fantastic book!
I saw a review for this book on a list of recommended new books to check out so I did. It's not the type of book I'd usually read but now I'm telling everyone to read it. It's the kind of book that, as you're reading it, you think you only read two pages but you actually read a chapter. Here's what the review said (my computer freezes up when I try to link it): In a time when every person ...

Invaluable resource
I added this fine work to my library about 4 months ago and already the pages are showing signs of wear. I can't begin to say how many times I have turned to this fine work for a reference source. Mr. Spalding has put together a very readable sourcebook. The book begins with a calendar of notable events, followed by six outstanding essays on six of America's most notable founders. All six ...

A Big Bang of information
This book is obviously only geared towards those remotely interested in physics, so that's what it does: cater to the contemplative individual. Believe it or not, this collection of writings grabbed me from the first subtitle, 'Atoms in Motion', and literally propelled me through the next 800 pages of lectures and dissertations, ranging from Mr. Isaac Asimov to Albert Einstein. If you've been ...
