Back Bay Books, 1998

Absolutely fantastic
This has become a very famous book and it deserves to be. It is certainly the type that has you lending it to all your friends and telling them about which pieces are your favorites. I love reading about his family and am a big fan of sister Amy so whenever there's a mention of her I get excited. So many of these stories are hilarious but there are also others that are incredibly sad. Ashes ...

The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful, and (HIV) Positive

Marvelyn Brown, Courtney Martin

Amistad, 2008

Marvelously Bold, Inspirational, Entertaining, and The Truth
I rec'd my book in the mail Monday evening. I didn't get around to reading it until late which means I stayed up all night long reading it until early Tuesday morning. This book is so inspirational and i'm so proud of this young lady putting this book out here. Watching her on CNN's Black in America and hearing her story and her purpose-I knew I wanted to support her by purchasing the book. ...

The Naked and the Dead: 50th Anniversary Edition

Norman Mailer

Picador, 2000

Helprin meets Hemingway, But Better [51][80]
At 25, Mailer's insightful yarn about a World War II battleground shows how precocious and mature his writing skills were at that young age. After having personally lived two years in that same war, maybe Mailer - like many of the characters in the book - arrived as a boy and left as a man. But, unlike his characters, we know he was extremely literate and given a gift to write. In college, ...

The Naked Warrior

Pavel Tsatsouline

Dragon Door Publications, 2003

Enter Warriors Only Circle
For those of you who read my hat goes off to you. For those of you who actually apply what you read are priceless actions from noble spirits. Especially Fitness Training books. The Naked Warrior is a book for True Warriors not you people who thought that they could get results by just reading. Buying a book or training equipment and not applying them DOES NOT produce results to write a review. ...

Naked Lunch: The Restored Text

William S. Burroughs

Grove Press, 2004

Beyond Good & Evil
Burroughs' work is a reaction to post -1945 cold war America in its radical deployment of tone, style and content. It endured bans, censorship and obscenity trials before hitting bookstores in the early nineteen sixties. But for all that, its continuing power is as spiritual work that makes it more than merely a insightful document of its times. "Naked Lunch" is no "Ulysses" and yet it shares ...

The lady can write!
Nora or JD, the lady can write and I think the IN DEATH series is her best yet.

Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers

49 reviews
Robert Scoble, Shel Israel

Wiley, 2006

Unabashed admiration of nakedness
A simply unputdownable book that I read over the weekend and finished during an extended lunch hour on a Monday. Filled with anecdotes and case studies that cover the half decade 'history' of blogging, this is a must read bible for all bloggers. A no-nonsense conversational writing seems as if one is reading the Scobblizer blog! Highly recommended for newbies and even review worthy for experts. ...

Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science

126 reviews
Charles Wheelan

W. W. Norton & Company, 2003

Great book
Wheelan presents a rational view of the major economic concerns of our time. He addresses politics in the framework of a free market economy and clearly presents how to allow business to progress without allowing the free market to blow through the social concerns of our society.

Naked Prey

John Sandford

Berkley, 2004

Winter in Minnesota brings a potential tinder-box blaze
In this, the 14th Lucas Davenport novel, John Sandford keeps doing what he does best - that is writing a book that keeps us wanting more. When a black man and white woman are found hanged, a potential race issue is quickly brought forward and Lucas - who is the governor's "fix stuff" guy - is sent up to the Broderick/Armstrong area to do what he can to defuse the situation before people start ...

Naked Chocolate: The Astonishing Truth About the World's Greatest Food

North Atlantic Books, 2005

Glad I got it.
Entertaining to read, informative, but also I now am better able to deal with all the organic raw beans I bought from Mountain Rose Herbs. db

The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal

51 reviews
Desmond Morris

Delta, 1999

I'll be a monkey's uncle!
This is a great book that should be read. Morris is a very intelligent guy, and a very good writer, and you'll be able to polish this book off with no trouble. One caveat is that the book is over forty-one years old, and so some of the conclusions/assertions/asseverations may be obsolete (and many more "politically incorrect")...but most, I'd imagine, still hold true. Evolution tends to take a ...

Stumbling Naked in the Dark: Overcoming Mistakes Men Make WIth Women

33 reviews
Bradley Fenton

Simon & Brown, 2008

Finally, a book that allows us men to remain men while still pursuing a healthy relationship with women.
I read this book over and over again while highlighting and taking notes. In the first chapter I was able to identify with the author, and acknowledge that I was the type of guy to whom he was referring. If you are like me, and suddenly lose all sense of self once you meet a woman that intrigues you on all levels, you NEED this book. Most of the content is very relevant to day to day ...

Naked Heart

Jennifer Fulton

Bold Strokes Books, 2008

Better than hot
OK, so I bought this book for two reasons. 1. Reading about it is the next best thing. 2. It's by Jennifer Fulton and it's the first book she's written that's described as an 'erotic romance'. Hot damn! This author writes VERY good sex scenes, so I was all set for a super-size serving! Being a fan of Ms. Fulton's, I should have realized that I wasn't going to get a book with nothing but hot ...

Naked in Baghdad: The Iraq War and the Aftermath as Seen by NPR's Correspondent Anne Garrels

40 reviews
Anne Garrels

Picador, 2004

True Journalisam
Enough good words have been said about the book. But ultimately, this book is not about the war. That's why readers who expected to get detailed war stories will be disappointed. It's about true journalism. Annie showed us the grace under fire, the courage to pursuit the truth, the genuine care for the people she reported on, and above all, the dedication to give a voice to the people who ...

The Summer of Naked Swim Parties: A Novel (P.S.)

27 reviews
Jessica Anya Blau

Harper Perennial, 2008

The Summer of Naked Swim Parties
This first novel is a delightful portrayal of the struggles faced by a teenage girl coming of age in the 1970's. More than an easy summer read, this story is touching and humorous in its depiction of family dysfunction. I knew people just like these in upstate New York where I spent my own teenage years. And family dysfunction is family dysfunction - I think we've all been there to some degree ...

Naked Empire (Sword Of Truth)

Terry Goodkind

Tor Books, 2003

Excellent!! The Complete Series!!
This book along with the rest of the series contains a huge lesson in Philosophy. If you like a book that teaches along with the story then this book is for you. Not many people may understand this lesson and get too wrapped up in the actual story. This series will help a person learn to think better. Not to just accept but to question. I consider this book better then Wheel of Time or Lord of ...

The Naked God, Part 1: Flight

Peter F. Hamilton

Aspect, 2000

Tension really starts to ratchet as we near the finale of the series - one book left after this one!
"The Naked God: Flight - Part 1" can be considered to be either book 5 or book 3a, depending on how you are counting this series. This is the book where all the strings are finally starting to come together; all the plot lines are starting to converge - and the reader can finally start to see exactly where Hamilton is trying to take us. Maybe. Sort of. In a way. The truth of the matter is, ...

Kary Mullis

Vintage, 2000

A Great Book-entertaining, funny, and informative
This is a great book. I keep getting a copy and giving it away. You may not agree with his views, but he does make you think. Science has been compromised by dollar signs, and that includes "environmentalists", who make a lot of money studying "global warming." To bad our schools do not teach, what science truly is or people wouldn't have blind faith in "global warming." "Where has science ...

Naked Fruit: Getting Honest about the Fruit of the Spirit

3 reviews
Elisa Morgan

Revell, 2004

Inspiring and Helpful for Making the World a Better place!
As a busy wife responsible for the care and nurturing of so many lives outside my own, it's nice to be reminded that it's "God's job" to hand the "fruit production" in my life - to bestow upon me the fruit of the Spirit. Most days I'm just busy ensuring that four sets of teeth get brushed after every meal - the thought of being loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and ...
