Mrs. Bridge: A Novel
13 reviews
Evan S. Connell
North Point Press
, 1990
compelling portrait of Americana
Denounced in 1959 for not being a 'real' novel, Mrs. Bridge is judged differently these days--and rightly so. The novel is a compelling portrait of American suburban bourgeois life; reading it causes precisely the same claustrophobia Mrs. Bridge sometimes realizes she's suffering from. In a way, this is Sartre's La Nausee moved to Kansas City, but an easier read--almost deceptively so. Closing ...

The beginning of a masterpiece.
There are tons of manga on that I regularly collect. Dragonball/Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Ranma 1/2, Case Closed(Detective Conan), Yu-Gi-Oh/Duelist/Millenium World, and others.... but there are a rare few that grab me, that are are real gems that contend for the greatest manga in existence, such as Akira, Nausicaa... and Trigun(and Trigun Maximum). Most people are probably familiar ...

Great Daily Devotional with Daily Scripture Focus
This is a great daily devotional that points you to scripture and then life application. While I LOVED my older edition of Oswald Chambers, reading it in contemporary language makes my quiet time flow easier because I don't get hung up on Oswald's old english.

Rocking the Roles
The author of this book hits the nail on the head! If we all could adopt the principals in this book, the divorce rate in America would be greatly reduced. Whether a person is a believer or not, this good biblically backed, common sense approach to marriage, will set your relationship on fire. This book should be a prerequisite to marriage. Allen

Worth the wait and expense!
I've read "The Art of Walt Disney", "Walt Disney Imagineering", "Disneyland:The Inside Story", and several other books about the Magic Kingdom, and this book is by far the most detailed and enjoyable of them all. Every store that's ever had an address on Main Street...every sponsor that's ever had an exhibit in Tommorowland...IT'S ALL HERE. My only complaint is that I wish some of the ...
Torso: The Story of Eliot Ness and the Search for a Psychopathic Killer
13 reviews
Steven Nickel

50% Ness, 50% Serial Killer, but important document!
The book's title is somewhat misleading us into believing that the 1930s `The Untouchables' character of Elliot Ness ran a serial killer investigation. Half this book is the life and times of Ness who happened to be Director of Public Safety in Cleveland while his skid row turned up mostly unidentifiable dismembered remains of vagrants, it was Ness who gained the most attention throughout the ...

Peanuts Treasury is NOT the same as Peanuts Treasury
Apparently there has been a mix-up: The two "editions" of this book DON'T correspond to each other. I've bought the paperback one, and it does not contain some of the strips mentioned in the review section.

Great poetry, CD is a little rushed...
I love the poems in this book, particularly one called "Postcards of El Barrio". Favorite line : the violent revolutions of red and white police sirens upset the sky blue peace of neon crucifixions These poems have a rhythm and a style than can only come from years of being exposed to life in the mean streets of El Barrio. So be aware, you'll need an inner city bent to fully appreciate the ...

The real story that reads better than fiction. The book gives a great background for the current activity that is starting again in one of the largest mineral discoveries in Canada.

A Call to True Sacrificial Ministry
The Reformed Pastor was actually very different than I anticipated, being nothing about reformed theology or even theology at all. "Reformed Pastor" actually means reforming pastors, using the word the same way we would say "reformed hardened criminal." Hmmm. I guess that already tells you this book isn't one of those "feel-good" books. Richard Baxter was famous for two things: being a ...

Handbook of Batteries

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2001
THE Authoritative Book on Batteries
As a battery engineer, I've found this handbook the single most useful technical reference in battery design, application, and troubleshooting. The chapters are divided by battery chemistry, and each is written by an expert in the field. Most chapters include detailed technical descriptions of chemistry, electrical characteristics, construction details, applications, and pros/cons charts. ...

Just like the class
I actually took the Machine Quilting class from Sue Nickels. It was a great class and the book has all the information contained in the class. It has helped me so much to have the book as I would rather be sewing in class instead of taking notes. I highly recommend that you take Sue's class but if you cannot the book has everything we learned in the class explained thoroughly. If you can take ...
