As lavish and exquisite as his food!
Decorated with beautiful pictures, stories and of course recipes, this book will introduce the rest of the world what we Philadelphians have enjoyed for the past three years: amazing latin and spanish cuisine. Get a copy and get to one his restaurants to experience it in person!

Blindness (Harvest Book)

Jose Saramago

Harvest Books, 1999

"Outbreak" segues to "Lord of the Flies" ... Extraordinary!
I picked this book up at a local bookstore on a stand containing "good reads" recommendations from the staff. I was skeptical at first but soon completely taken in by the storyline and author's unconventional methods for packaging dialog. The book is at times sad, uplifting, poignant, and repulsive, with not much telegraphing of what we're going to feel next. Particularly impressing is the ...

Y: The Last Man Vol. 2: Cycles

21 reviews
Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, ...

Vertigo, 2003

The plot thickens and the fun continues
The first book in Brian K. Vaughan's Y: THE LAST MAN set up the premise: all the males in the world of every species have died except for loser named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand. In the chaos that follows American society is oppressed by totalitarian Amazons, who are marked ideologically by an intense detestation of all things male (in later books they will even try to tear down ...

Y: The Last Man Vol. 3: One Small Step

17 reviews

Vertigo, 2004

If anything, an improvement on the first two books
As I write this, Brian K. Vaughan has finished work on the last issue of his truly massive Y: THE LAST MAN series. In terms of sustained narrative, it will certainly go down as one of the longest, most epic stories in the entire world of comics and graphic novels. The first two books in the series were good, very good, but this one might even be better. There are some wonderful new twists ...

Leo the Late Bloomer

HarperCollins, 1994

A classic and comical story
Leo the Late Bloomer was my favorite book growing up. Recently, my four year old niece found it at my mother's house. She read it to me and loved all the pictures and silly things Leo did. The illustrations in this book are beautiful and engaging for children. I just bought this from Amazon to share with my own daughter.

Death with Interruptions

Jose Saramago

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2008

A novel of ideas that also has at its heart a compelling storyline
Horace Engdahl, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel Prize in literature, recently (and infamously) remarked that American readers and writers are "too isolated, too insular" for an American author to win the Nobel in the foreseeable future. Proponents of American literature have rightly been outraged, sending Engdahl recommended reading lists of some of the best the ...

Made in Spain: Spanish Dishes for the American Kitchen

Jose Andres

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Great Entry Point or Further Roadmap into Spanish Cuisine
Have not seen the PBS show that this cookbook is matched with. Purchased this as interested in tapas and Spanish cuisine, and because Andres is such well known Spanish chef and is interested in his cuisine being utilized in American context, as the subtitle of this work exhibits. These are not that difficult in either technique, and the specialized ingredients are given sources that one can ...

Para la historia
Los amantes de la música y la vida de las estrellas, encontrarán en este libro de pronto la más transparente, cándida, honesta y emotiva narración de cómo nace un artista y de todo lo que tiene que enfrentar en una carrera. José José va contando, en forma calmada, como si fuera la mejor de sus baladas, los acontecimientos de su vida, desde que era un niño hasta la fecha, pasando por los sueños ...

Viva Tapas!
I gave a Tapas Party for 11 last night. The guests, who ranged in age from 19 to 60, helped prepare dishes from this cookbook. The recipes are well-written and pretty easy to follow. We all had a blast, loved the food, and learned a lot. Our favorite recipes were Traditional Astrian Bean Stew; Rack of Lamb with Honey Allioli; Tortilla de Patatas; Artichokes Sauteed with Ham; and Rustic Bread ...

The Golden Children's Bible

Fantastic!
This purchase is by far one of the best ones ever made. The pictures are fantastic and it is written in a way my two little boys can understand. They love to sit and listen while I read to them from their Bible.

Jose Canseco

HarperEntertainment, 2006

Definitly worth a read!
Found this book to be very candid & HONEST assessment about one man's career in MLB. I read this book after reading 'Game of Shadows', then went on to read Jose Canseco's other book 'Vindicated' and found all these books compelling and informative. I admire anyone that can make a mistake (?), learn from it and then own up to it. Like him or not, Mr Canseco did a great public service by exposing ...

The Gospel According to Jesus Christ

76 reviews
Jose Saramago

Harvest Books, 1994

Imaginative and Provocative
This is a wonderful work of fiction that is creatively devised and unique. It is certainly, as has previously been forewarned by others, not for the devout reader who will take offense when faced with a work of fiction that does not accurately depict Jesus and those closest to him as is told by the canonical Gospels and orthodox scholarship. Saramago takes the Gospels and distills them into a ...

Great Resource!
Beautiful pictures, and easy-to-follow tunes. A must-have for anyone who has children whom they are introducing to Spanish, and very useful for us adults as well!

Gregory the Terrible Eater
This is one of my favorite children's books. There are lots of lessons for ongoing analogies. But the best part is that the book is funny and loved by kids.

Conan Volume 6: Hand of Nergal (Conan (Graphic Novels))

3 reviews
Tim Truman, Tomas Giorello, ...

Dark Horse, 2008

Cool Rendition of Howard's work
I've really enjoyed this series, because the authors have tried to be faithful to Howard's creation, and they've done a fine job. Savage Sword and the Dark Horse series are the two best comic titles I've ever read. The King Conan series is good too. Hopefully Dark Horse will publish it once they finish the regular Conan title.

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach (MasteringChemistry Series)

Nivaldo Jose Tro

Prentice Hall, 2006

An engaging and well organized new text for general chemistry
This is a new textbook for general chemistry. Yes, there a quite a number of general chemistry texts and they all cover roughly the same general material. They differ more in how they organize the material, illustrate it, and their method of helping the student develop a solid understanding and command of this basic material. The student not only needs to learn the basic facts of chemistry, ...

The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness

The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness
This book is very technical and takes a while to read. However, the information is important enough to take the time to read the book.

Jose Saramago

Harcourt, 2006

First - Open Your Eyes and Your Mind
In Saramago's normal humorous manner, he again takes on the political structure of Portugal. His style cuts with the ease of a razor blade, while easing the pain with his wit. The characters are stereotypes that bring to mind people you have met (think Dilbert). You are only given enough about the characters for you to mentally "slot" them. The meat of the book is the underlying attitudes of the ...

Philip Jose Farmer

Del Rey, 1998

Child like wonder mixed with adult wanderlust
If you've ever watched the television series that claims to be about this book series, kindly remove it from your thoughts before you begin. It was a disappointment to me; a serious disappointment! I read this book as a child and I loved it. I read it as a teenager and I loved it. I read it as an adult and I loved it. Just the other day, I was saying to my parents that I have never finished ...

The Silva Mind Control Method

Pocket, 1991

The most useful book I have ever read!
This book has changed my life. It has taught me how to use my subconscious mind to my advantage, instead of letting it control me. It is indescribable how effective and useful this book is. I've attempted to get into lower brain wave states for years, and never really succeeded, until one day I decided to try the first exercise in this book, and magically, I went right into low alpha! I also ...
