Texe Marrs

RiverCrest Publishing, 2008

Counterfeit god
Texe's powerful book awakens us to the fact that we are immortal Spiritual Beings temporarily entrapped in the realm of Illusion ... these symbols are indicators that we are in the "prison" planet of the "counterfeit god", the god of this world, who uses every means of deception to keep us prisoners in his domain of matter. This "Negative power" is the prison warden ... our role is to purify ...

Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jar

Mitsumasa Anno

Putnam Juvenile, 1999

A lovely book on counting and factorials
This picture book is easy to read, and presents two math concepts: the first is counting to ten. The second is factorials: If there are three kingdoms in two countries on one island, then how many kingdoms are there altogether? Imagining some of the silly scenes (there are how many cupboards in how many rooms?) is a delight. This book -- or at least the last half of it -- is best for ...

No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger (Twain, Mark//Mark Twain Library)

Mark Twain

University of California Press, 2004

subversive & thrilling
Provocative and subversive, if you've ever had issues with Christian theology, you will certainly be drawn to this novella. At the end of the story, the character Satan manages to sum up, in one paragraph, with biting eloquence, some of the most serious theological problems with Christianity. It is the sort of passage that you read and then immediately bang your head against the wall because ...

Puffin, 2004

excellent children's book
My daughter who is 9.5 asked me to purchase this for her after we read a library copy. It is a sweet tale, well told. She much preferred the illustrations in the 25th anniversary edition.

Nora Roberts

Silhouette, 2008

Not So Mysterious, but Still Good
Mysterious is a reissue of three older books Nora Roberts wrote in the 80's. While not her best, the first two are pretty good and the last one is just okay. This Magic Moment This Magic Moment brings you the story of Pierce Atkins, a magician, and Ryan Swan, the producer of his live television special. Ryan is a strong, independent woman, yet left vulnerable from her past and her ...

The Adventure Continues.... An Excellent Read for the Family!!!
This is the second book of an absolutely wonderful series that I have read aloud to my family. By reading aloud I have (perhaps inadvertantly) developed and created voices for all the different characters that have stayed with us long after we finished the book (which is quite a task!). Reynie, Kate, Sticky, and Constance have a short period of time to find and save Mr. Benedict. They ...

The Mysterious Montague: A True Tale of Hollywood, Golf, and Armed Robbery

Leigh Montville

Doubleday, 2008

How ironic
Funny that the week I began Leigh Montville's, The Mysterious Montague, a jury in Las Vegas should announce a verdict in the armed robbery trial of the Sad and Sorry Simpson in Las Vegas. Two different men in two different times but amazing parallels. Both are stories of poor choices, fortunes made and wasted, families lost and talent and opportunity squandered. Each man, neither loved or ...

Jules Verne

Modern Library, 2004

A Wondrous Adventure!
Note: Your "helpful" votes are appreciated. Thanks To escape the Civil War, some men steal a hot-air balloon, and caught in a huge storm, they finally land, of course, near a "mysterious island." I saw the movie fifty years ago as a child, and later read the novel. The images have stayed with me all these years. What a debt we owe to Jules Verne for taking us so many fantastic places! As ...

Modern Library, 2002

marvellous translation
In one of those odd coincidences, there hasn't been an english translation of this book in about 100 years, but two came out in 2000/1. One is actually available online: it was done as a labor of love by a retired engineer. I didn't like his prose style, and found that he actively mistranslated a crucial section to make it politically correct (Nemo's dying words were crucial and not nice ones). ...

Loren Coleman

Paraview Pocket Books, 2007

A great piece of work
This is by far Loren Coleman's best that I have read. Covers a myriad of topics without skimping on the info. He doesn't just cover the common ones, either. Lesser known creatures are mentioned with a bunch of interesting information. There is more information than you could possibly want on out of place cat sightings (2 chapters) and I really enjoyed the author's wit and jokes! A really ...

RH/Disney, 2008

A little scarier than the rest of the Disney Fairy books
We own and have read all of the Disney Fairy chapter books. My daughter is 5 years old, and this one was a little scarier than any of the others. Probably not a good choice to read at bedtime. We would still recommend it, but if your daughter is extrememly sensitive to scary things, then I might think twice about this one and read a different one from the series instead.

Agatha Christie

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

And Introducing Monsieur Hercule Poirot
"The Mysterious Affair At Styles" was Agatha Christie's first mystery novel, in which she introduced her enigmatic and eccentric Belgium detective, Hercule Poirot. She often later lamented that she should have made Poirot younger to begin with as he was to be the star detective in many of her mysteries afterward. But her retired police officer began his magnificent orbit with this intriguing ...
