The First Rule (Joe Pike Novels) 84 reviews
Robert Crais
Putnam Adult, 2010
A good one sitting read...
So I read this in one sitting during the recent snowstorm out here. I really enjoyed the book on the whole though I can see where a couple of people are coming from in their complaints about Joe. Any serial character is going to have to develop unless you want to read comic books. We all agree we liked JP when he was a one-dimensional dark avenger early on. Now events come his way cause him ...

First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently276 reviews
Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman
Simon & Schuster, 1999
Eye-opening for both corporate and nonprofit leaders
Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman present some rather remarkable findings on how to hire, motivate, and promote the best people for any line of work, from housekeeping to software design. I certainly hope every leader of an organization, either corporate or nonprofit, will take a look inside and apply some of these practices. Although the authors make every case for why these somewhat ...

Sometimes What Seems Old Can Be New Again
My First 300 Babies
This book will not appeal to everyone and some people might find it downright cruel. (Yes, I have read those reviews)
However, I have found it to be the single most helpful book I've read since becoming a new mom.
My Baby girl is a happy, healthy, plump little 10 week old who slept through the night by 5 weeks. I always get asked how old she is because people claim ...

A Must Have
I read this book back in 1997, when I was still struggling to decide which major to take in college.
This book is one of those rare books that left a mark on my life, a very prominent mark. I have it still on my bookshelf, I tend to glance in it sometimes, reminding myself the long path I've taken since.
It's more of an attitude adjustment than actual time-management systems. I didn't ...
