Just buy it. You'll finish your marathon.
Prior to training, I had run ONE 5k race (mostly walked), and never actually ran for excercise for more than 3 miles. I began this training wanting to see how far I'd get and the next thing I know I was 15-20 pounds lighter and crossing the tape at that Dallas WhiteRock marathon in 2003 at 4:18:13. Don't get me wrong, I was in pain. It wasn't easy. But as they say, the pain is ...

Survial of the Human Spirit~A deeply moving story.
This is one of the first Holocaust survival stories that I read. It is by far one that has stayed with me in the most detail. What a strong girl Gerda is. she was told to never give up her boots and in the end it is one thing that saved her life after marching in a blizzard half frozen to death. How she survived is nothing short of a miracle. Reading this when you are in a hard time reminds ...

Letters to a Young Brother

76 reviews

Gotham, 2007

This One Is OUTSTANDING!!!!
Hill Harper has given us a rare gem. This book should be "required" reading for all young men. I gave it as gifts to my nephew and my cousin. I also encouraged a co-worker to read it and she's preparing to give it to her son and other young men. It's an "easy read". The letters and advice given are poignant, timely, educational and insightful. Down to earth, excellent advice for growing up ...

You Are Special

Crossway Books, 2000

Note
16 Sept. 2008 I have both the paperback and the hardcopy edition of this book. I recommend the hardback because of how much it is used. I have read this book to my nephews dozens of times. When the two of them leave I always tell them, "Remember, You are Special!" They came in from out-of-state last week and the first thing one of them said to me was, "You are special." The book is a good ...

Recommended on the MythBusters show
If it is good enough for Adam, Jamie, Kari, Grant, and Tory, it's good enough for me. I bought this book for my teenage son who is a MythBusters junkie. He is a math genius and loves science too. He absolutely loves to read this book for fun. I know that some day the information contained in it will come in handy, so for this mom, that is a bonus. I highly recommend this book to ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

Incredible and refreshing read
I have read the entire Mitford series in less than one month. The series is an incredible and a refreshing read. With so much negative, brutality, and corruption in today's world, it was a wonderful experience to drop into a town where good is good and wrong is wrong. It's a clean, heartwarming read. I highly recommend these books if you want to be reminded of the good in the world and ...

Remains the "go to" source for scientific evidence based food knowledge and a good read

Christy

Catherine Marshall

McGraw-Hill Book Comapny Inc., 1967

Loved it!
This is one of those classic novels that you could read again and again. I hadn't read it since high school twenty years ago and just re-read Christy last week. I like it even better now than I did then (and I loved it then, too). I would have loved to have had Catherine Marshall's version of a sequel (hopefully it would have consisted of a continuation of Neil & Christy's romance), but I ...

David James Duncan

Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006

Wise Like A Fish
Lovers of fishing, or Oregon, or life, or the search for life's meaning should love this book. So should readers interested in thoughtful, creative and honest writing; or of clever, insightful and profound character development. Gus Orviston is an enduring main character, and his discovery of his brother, Bill Bob's, unique and beautiful self, by itself, makes the book worth reading. With a ...

William Horwood

Mcgraw-Hill, 1980

Terrific
I find it difficult to reread a book, but I have read Duncton Wood three times and am beginning to reread the rest in the series. I had to order the books from Amazon UK a few years back, but I think now they might be out of print. Do what you can to find every book in the series. You won't be disappointed. I don't know what you can say to convince people to read these books, but they are worth ...

Barbara Robinette Moss, Michael Carey

Loess Hills Press, 1999

Find Joy In the Most Desparate of Situations
Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter is a powerful and poignant story of impoverished life as experienced by Barbara Moss. Surrounded by poverty, alcoholism, abuse, malnutrition and facial deformities, Moss could easily have allowed herself to be trapped in that negative world. Instead, through determination and the kindness of a few strangers along the way, she rose above adversity and has been ...

The "Bible" for ropework and knotting...
Hands down, if you're into knots, rope work, sailing, etc...this is definitely a book to add to your shelf. Over 600 pages, it's got pretty much references to every knot you could think of, as well as a good history on rope and knots, and a great index to quickly find what you need. I've even found most other books or online resources I look at reference the "Ashley Book of Knots" number ...

Highly recommended - the best!
To put it simple, this book is great, clear, concise and complete. Plenty of examples, samples and answers. Unlike other Spanish language books, this book gets down to little details.

Up to date book and very relevant
With today's marketing ideas changing considerably I found this book a refreshing new approach to a difficult situation of getting referrals. I have already put their ideas into play and find they work very well. Well worth the read.

Kick Start Your Brain
If you are looking for a step by step buy a house, rehab it, and get rich, please find another book. If you are looking for a dull textbook type presentation you should also pass. If you are looking for clear explanations of concepts and illustrated with some small case studies to kick start your brain, then this might be just the thing to get you from dreaming to doing. Although I knew ...

John Wooden

McGraw-Hill, 1997

Wooden
I bought this book for my student/athlete son. I had him read the book and find five things that he could immediately apply to his life. The book is written in such a manner that the parallels between sports and life are seamlessly interwoven. By using sports as a platform of relativity, I feel I am raising my son to be a confident and responsible man. This is a must-read for fathers and sons.

A truly comprehensive book.
This book pretty much covers everything you need to know about mountaineering. It does so in an easy to read, concise style. It really stresses the philosophy of being an educated and environmentally aware mountaineer. The illustrations are also great...very clear and informative. You won't be disappointed with this book. Here's the Table of Contents: Part I (Outdoor Fundamentals) (1) ...

A FINE DEBUT NOVEL! I HOPE THERE ARE MORE FROM THIS AUTHOR!
For a first novel, this was certainly some "mighty fine" reading. I enjoyed this author's clear voice and readable style. The twists and turns kept me guessing, and it never seemed to go the way I thought it would ... as some books do. You know what I mean? TWINS! FEMALE DETECTIVE! PRISTINE MURDER! Whoaaaaaa ... All the makings of a real pageturner! AND IT IS THAT AND MORE! I look ...
