The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales 153 reviews
Jon Scieszka
Viking Juvenile, 1992
Funny
I loved this book because it had such an out of the box writing style. The tales play up the silliness that is obvious when reading the original versions. My family got a good giggle from this one! The stinky cheese man is so funny. Especially for those who love cheese even though it does stink!LOL

She's No Faerie Princess (The Others, Book 2)23 reviews
Christine Warren
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006
Loved It!
I wasn't sure I'd like this book because I don't normally read or enjoy stories or books about the Fae. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually laughed out loud at the parts Squick (and briefly Babbage) had. I do enjoy stories that mix a little humor in them. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

Williamson's. Ron is a former athlete bedeviled by mental illness that gets railroaded in a murder case in a small town courtroom in rural Oklahoma.

Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich261 reviews
William L. Shirer
Simon & Schuster, 1990
One of the most readable histories I've read
At well over a thousand pages, one might wonder how "readable" such a history could be, but Shirer's work is excellent. I won't repeat much of the acclaim already found here.
One stumbling block is that in a very few places the terminology is outdated, and most certainly not politically correct. For example, the homosexual leadership of the SA are described as "perverted" and "deviant", and ...

How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You106 reviews
Leil Lowndes
McGraw-Hill, 1997
Fell in Love with this Book!
This book was amazing! A guy friend of mine had given me some tips from it years ago and recommended I should read it. I finally got around to buying it a couple of months ago and finally sat down to read it. It offered great tips about communication and gender differences. I often found myself reading the sections geared towards men and thinking "Yes! That's exactly how I would like a guy ...

Harry Lime
HarperTrophy, 2007
Great new movie book for readers!
This is a great little book. It's fabulous for early readers excited about the new Spiderman movie coming out. My little one learned to read it and is having a ball with all the new villains introduced in this book. Each of the main characters are introduced, then the villains. But, Spiderman is portrayed as a hero and encourages kids to be a hero too. Well loved (we've read it nightly over ...

Leaf Man (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards))15 reviews
Lois Ehlert
Harcourt Children's Books, 2005
Simple text enhanced with a big dose of creativity!
My husband bought this for our two-year old, and we love reading it together with her. The text is simple, as it traces the journey of Leaf Man...the leaves used are magnificent in their colors...some bold, some subdued, but all unique and beautiful. I have since done some basic art projects with my daughter using this book as inspiration. We collect leaves wherever we go and hope to create a ...

This Charming Man: A Novel58 reviews
Marian Keyes
William Morrow, 2008
Another success for Marian Keyes... Kudos for this fantastic novel. I loved it!
This is an extraordinary novel which tackles rough and serious subjects such as domestic violence, alcoholism, rape, and sexual perversions. Marian Keyes is not only a great writer, she is also an artist who paints her characters in a warm hearted light and with very humane and lovingly realistic characteristics, but above all she can paint them with a touch of self deprecation and ...

Straight Man: A Novel247 reviews
Richard Russo
Vintage, 1998
Laugh out loud funny
Though the book jacket said the book was humorous, I didn't expect it to be so outrageously funny. After reading Empire Falls and Bridge of Sighs I knew Russo was a master literary novelist who tackled serious themes. Here he borrows from his own career in academia to create a hilarious send up of life in a college. Faculty, administration and students are equal targets here, and anyone who ...

When Good People Have Affairs: Inside the Hearts & Minds of People in Two Relationships13 reviews
Mira Kirshenbaum
St. Martin's Press, 2008
This book is a MUST
This book is a must for anyone who is married, involved, contemplating marriage, contemplating divorce, contemplating an affair... This is the first time I have read anything on the subject of infidelity that I felt portrayed an accurate, objective, nonjudgmental, commonsensical explanation of how it happens and how to proceed once it has. Dr. Kirshenbaum does not advocate infidelity, she merely ...

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 ...
