28 Barbary Lane: A "Tales of the City" Omnibus

Armistead Maupin

HarperCollins, 1990

I wanna live at 28 Barbary Lane.
Having the first three books in the "Tales of the City" series all in one place is a huge convenience as I am continually reading them. There is an absurd joy I get whenever I read these stories. Please understand, I realize these characters are fictional, but I so want to be friends with them and take part in their bizarre adventures. Maupin has a very minimalist writing style. The chapters ...

Seven Practices of Effective Ministry

34 reviews, ...

Multnomah, 2008

A book every minister should read
I have been amiss in not writing a review of this book. It is a great little book on effective ministry. His ideas of seeking the win are great. Everyone wants to be on the winning team, and churches need to define what a win is. Also, his stuff on reviewing ministry is important. So many congregations do the work every year, but some of the programs are dead, but no one will stop them. His ...

Amy Lane

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

Awesome as usual!
I just wanted to let everyone know that Amy's books are ALL great. I'm going to buy Bitter Moon at the end of the month to take on a 15 hour plane ride with me. The only reason I'm holding out on it because if i buy it now I'll read it. I have to have something to read in that tin can or I'll pull my hair out! I know its going to be great just like the Little Goddess Series!

You're Joe's boy, ain't ya? Life's Lessons for Living, Loving, & Leading

Phillip Van Hooser

Van Hooser Associates, 1999

Good old fashioned wisdom applied to today's world
This book is a Trojan Horse -- it looks like a warm, homespun book full of humorous down-home anaecdotes. But in reality it is a book of wisdom gleaned from rural roots and applied to the corporate boardroom. Phil Van Hooser has done a marvelous job of telling stories that have point.

The Children of Willesden Lane: Beyond the Kindertransport: A Memoir of Music, Love, and Survival

26 reviews

Grand Central Publishing, 2003

A Memoir of Music, Love, and Survival
I was unfamiliar with the Kindertransport that moved 10,000 Jewish children to safety from the Holocaust. This biography brings that event to life through the memories of Lisa Jura. At 14, her parents sent her to London and the book covers that wrenching journey and the next six years of her life. Growing up during the blitz in a refugee home with 31 children makes a fascinating book. ...

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

147 reviews
Jon Scieszka

Demco Media, 1996

A Fresh and Funny Perspective
"Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs. Or at least they think they do. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story." This is what Alexander T. Wolf (but you can call him "Al") tells to pseudo-biographer Jon Scieszka at the start of this tale of the "real story" behind what happened between Al and that ...

The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane

Stephen Cox

Back Stage Books, 2006

Wonderfully Detailed Tribute To Television's First Family Of Fright
Having recently acquired this wonderful book by author Stephen Cox titled "The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane", as well as the recently released Two Seasons of the classic series on DVD, I once again never fail to marvel at this brilliant and totally original series that ran from 1964-66. Part domestic sitcom, part tribute to the Universal Monsters of old, and part satire on the "then", ...

Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life

20 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Power, Sex & Suicide
A review aimed at science teachers: Nick Lane's Power, Sex, Suicide. Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life (Oxford 2005, £10) provided me with every reason to wish I was still the same age as when Monty Python were in their heyday. I nearly poked a fellow Virgin passenger, deep in a Women's Weekly, in the ribs to exclaim, `Guess what! Did you know our endoplasmic reticulum is bacterial in ...

Alan Dean Foster

New English Library, 1989

A fun romp
When punk rocker Seeth rescues someone from arrest at the local bowling alley, it all seems like a harmless lark. But, when the cops turn out to be murderous aliens, Seeth and the bookworm Kerwin soon find themselves running for their lives. Accidentally picking up airhead style-queen Miranda, they set off for the stars on the adventure of a lifetime! This is quite a fun little book. Shift ...

Lane Publishing, 1982

Easy Basics for Good Cooking
I purchased this book many years ago. My edition was published in 1982. Over the years, I've found that whenever I have a question about how to prepare anything, this is the first book I grab off the shelf to investigate. It has been a quick and excellent guide, amongst the 200+ cookbooks that I own. My copy is so worn that I've just ordered a used, replacement copy. I need to toss mine, but ...

The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty

17 reviews
Sebastian Barry

Thorndike Press, 1999

Where does Ireland get all these great authors?
The Irish have always been known as great storytellers, but now they're all turning into great writers as well, and it seems they're coming out of the woodwork. Sebastian Barry's The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty places the protagonist in the small village of Sligo where he is an innocent among angry partisans. When he chooses to alleviate his problems of employment by taking a job with the Royal ...

Almost a Whisper: A Holistic Approach to Working With Your Horse

17 reviews
Sam Powell, Lane Carter

Alpine Publications, 1999

Sam Saved My Horse!
I had bought this book originally as a good all around read, but ended up needing a lot of its valuable information when I purchased a gelding at an auction. Something just made my hand go up, even though the horse reared in the ring. I thought I had brought home a mistake until I went back and started to re-read Mr. Powell's book. I even e-mailed him at his address for additional help. ...

Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World

17 reviews
Nick Lane

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Another great book by Lane
Although not quite as pulled together as "Power, Sex, Suicide", this is a wonderful account of modern biochemistry. There are fresh ideas on nearly every page and his writing is amazingly clear. I realized halfway through that there are very few diagrams in the text, yet I felt like I didn't need any; a rarity for any science book. It may be a little tough going if you haven't had some ...

Fateful Choices

20 reviews
Ian Kershaw

Penguin Books Ltd (UK), 2007

When the world hung in the balance
For those familiar with Kershaw primarily through his definitive two-volume biography of Adolf Hitler, 'Fateful Choices' might seem, at first glance, like a comparatively light-weight book with a 'what-if' gimmick at its core: what if England had sought a negotiated peace with Germany, what if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor, etc. But Kershaw is not a light-weight historian, and he uses the ...

CIO Wisdom: Best Practices from Silicon Valley (Harris Kern's Enterprise Computing Institute Series)

20 reviews
Dean Lane, With Members of the CIO Community of Practice, ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 2003

Superb compilation of knowledge & experience
The seventeen articles in this compendium represents contemporary and topical subjects, each written by a seasoned CIO. I was as impressed with the selection of articles as I was with the content because each topic is foremost on the minds of CIOs and senior IT managers today. Among the articles I especially like are: - The First 90 Days, by Mark Egan, which contains actionable plans that will ...

Tulle (Salmon Poetry.)

Mary O'Donoghue

Salmon Publishing, 2002

Powerful Poetry
This is where I just want to say in a deep husky voice 'If there's one book you gotta read all year...then it's Tulle'. It's that exciting a read from a richly talented poet. A friend mailed me this raving about it. His hype was on the mark. I will type 5 titles of poems randomly and bet you when I read over them they will be classics- 'Cattle Cars', 'Textures', 'If You See Kay', 'Trupi M'Leshon' ...
