George Orwell

New American Library, 1961

Big Brother is watching you!
"1984" is George Orwell's warning of the dangers of a totalitarian society. The main character in the novel, Winston Smith, is a low-ranking member of the ruling Party in the country of Oceania. Winston and his fellow citizens are monitored everywhere they go, even in their own homes. Party members spy on everyone using ever-present telescreens, and pictures of "Big Brother," the Party's leader, ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7275 reviews
J. K. Rowling

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007

I'm soooo sad it's over!
This review is for the books, not necessarily the packaging this particular set is sold with. When the Harry Potter hype first started, I was a little annoyed. I just couldn't understand the big deal. But, of course, I hadn't read any of the books yet. In fact, it wasn't until book five came out that I finally started reading them. I became interested after having seen a portion of the ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-6)261 reviews
J.K. Rowling

Scholastic Inc., 2006

Couldn't be happier
The box set came to me quick and in mint condition! I really couldn't have asked for a better transaction! The books arrived well within the given arrival dates, and were obviously brand-new, or atleast unopened! I am very happy with this dealer and would not hesitate to purchase for them again in the future. 		  
  







  
  
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)1193 reviews
Eckhart Tolle

Penguin, 2008

Beyond the words... and into action
Ignore everyone else and read it... You learn something from every book you read... why not move past the critics and judge the book for yourself. Regardless of your religon or beliefs, the book will open your eyes to another aspect of life that you may not have considered. 		  
  







  
  
God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything792 reviews
Christopher Hitchens

Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group, 2007

Great book
Author shows his dislike for religion in an intelligent and informative manner. I would recommend people involved in religions to read and assess their views afterwards. 		  
  







  
  
The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing. A Book of Practical Counsel (Revised ...125 reviews
Benjamin Graham, Jason Zweig

HarperBusiness Essentials, 2003

I should have read this book before investing
Simple like that: if you are a layman investor and don't want to lose a dime, stop your investment actions right now and start reading this book immediately. I've started composing my stock portfolio a couple of months, before reading this book. At that time, I didn't know any of the Graham's wise lessons and took many decisions, some Graham-complying ones and some not. After six months, all ... 		  
  







  
  
His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass)1082 reviews
Philip Pullman

Laurel Leaf, 2003

Dark Materials a Triple Threat or Three Times a Charm? Awesome Novels!
When I saw the Golden Compass movie The Golden Compass (New Line Platinum Series Two-Disc Widescreen Edition) and the excellent acting of Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig (much different than his 007 role that same year, obviously), I wanted to read the book. Then I saw the reviews of the trilogy written by Phillip Pullman and was taken aback by the lower star reviews, accusations of religious ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)3196 reviews
J. K. Rowling

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007

jennya
This was a great ending to a great series. I loved all 7 books in the series and this was an exciting ending to an epic story. There were tears but also great triumphs that make it worth reading over and over again. 		  
  







  
  
Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, ...43 reviews
Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 2008

Inspiring and Enlightening
Dr. Kaku presents another outstanding book to expand our minds to endless possibilities. Why limit ourselves when we need, more than ever, to think out of the box, and ask the big "what if" questions. In my own writing, vis-i-vis, The Ninth Cube, I have tried to answer these questions, alot of them inspired from the work of Dr. Kaku. I throughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)3586 reviews
J.K. Rowling

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006

Beyond the Order of the Phoenix Aftertaste
This is so far in my opinion the best Harry Potter book, together with the number 3, after the rumbles that the fifth one was, it was really refreshing to see a Harry more focused and centered, the history goes with no annoying moments, and it was one of the quickest to read so far. OK, more in detail then: The conflicts between the characters remain, which is great, the bad characters begin ... 		  
  







  
  
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism201 reviews
David Mills

Ulysses Press, 2006

Atheist Universe
When I read this email I was sure that you had somehow made a mistake, because I did not (knowingly) purchase the book, "Atheist Universe" and was fairly certain that I had never even seen it. Then, this morning, I was going through a pile of stuff on my desk and there was the book in question, apparently never opened by me. Am I going nuts? Did some supernatural force put the book there? Does ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)5870 reviews
J. K. Rowling, Mary GrandPré

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2004

One of my favorites in the whole series.
I think this was one of my favorites in the series. I have to say that Rowling does such a great job of creating characters that seem so alive, I actually feel as though I know them. I just want the story to keep going on and on and on. 		  
  







  
  
Voyager177 reviews
Diana Gabaldon

Delta, 2001

My favorite book of the series!!!
While working at a bookstore, I decided that I needed to read one sci-fi and one romance novel just to get a feel for the genre. I selected Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" for the romance novel, and was absolutely captivated by her story and style. I devoured the first three books in less than six weeks--an amazing feat for me as a slow reader with sight impairments--and have started at least 200 ...

An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems430 reviews
Glenn Beck

Threshold Editions, 2007

Excellent!!!
I found this book to be both informative AND entertaining! The format is akin to a high school textbook, with quirky ADHD moments printed in the margins and fabulous photos throughout. The last chapter is by far the best of all...

The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing18 reviews
Benjamin Graham

Collins Business, 2005

A classic -- still worth reading after 60 years
Since reading Graham, I keep running into his name everywhere -- and for good reason. Graham (and his disciple Warren Buffet) does not talk about -- or believe in -- get-rich-quick schemes (those are speculation), but in sound principles of looking for solid, well-run companies, and buying their stock when the price dips. (The market gets hysterical and goes up or down in ways that have nothing ... 		  
  







  
  
Snow Crash (Bantam Spectra Book)536 reviews
Neal Stephenson

Spectra, 2000

An amazing, multi-faceted read
What an excellent book! I read this several years ago when I was still a high school student; I've read it at least four times since then. Every time I read it, I discover something new. There are a lot of issues approached in this book. It really is a gift that keeps on giving. 		  
  







  
  
Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child29 reviews
John Gottman, Joan Declaire

Simon & Schuster, 1998

Timeless advice
This book was published 10 years ago, but the advice is still as timely as ever. Very well written, with just the right blend of research, stories, and recommendations. This book should improve the life of anyone who reads it. When John Gottman talks, people listen! 		  
  







  
  
The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles206 reviews
Bruce H. Lipton

Mountain of Love, 2005

Refer it to friends and skeptics!
I have referenced this book to so many people I cannot count. When I encounter people who do not understand the actual biology and physics of the "attraction principles", I send them to Lipton who does a superb job. He is able to clearly describe what a non-scientist can understand, while using scientific backbone to support his views. I am glad this one is on my shelf.
