Against Medical Advice: One Family's Struggle with an Agonizing Medical Mystery 6 reviews
James Patterson, Hal Friedman, ...
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
A great read, an intense book
Some parts are intense. A few pages are among the realest, most moving pages you will ever read. Some parts were tough to experience through Cory's eyes, but the comfort and redemption of this book and the message it leaves you with is that we as Human beings are strong and can endure more than we can imagine if we refuse to be defined by our misfortune and embrace the love of those that love us. ...

The Lucky One
Nicholas Sparks is such a great writer. I've enjoyed each and every book that he has written and have seen the movies. Am going to see Nights in Rodanthe this week and cannot wait to see it.

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands247 reviews
Chelsea Handler
Bloomsbury USA, 2005
Very Entertaining!
I got both of her books for an 8 hour flight. I read them both before vacation was up. Her sense of humor is crude but well worth the purchase of the book. She was cracking me up in almost every chapter. I loved it!

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time 1384 reviews

Three Cups of Tea
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Everyone should read this story! Instead of dropping bombs, we should be building schools! Not just for humanitarian reasons, but also because it would make the world a much less dangerous place. Greg Mortenson should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!

The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own17 reviews
Nina Garcia
Collins Living, 2008
Nina knows her fashion
I was very impressed with this compilation of the 100 key essentials for a woman's wardrobe. Nina writes brilliantly and while reading you cannot help but want to go out and shop for each item as you read about it. The presentation and drawings are also adorable.

The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems11 reviews
Van Jones
HarperOne, 2008
Perfect Timing!
The Green Collar Economy, How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems, by Van Jones, could not be more timely. As our economy (and perhaps the world economy) enters a period called stagflation--meaning, a stagnant economy coupled with inflation--Jones offers a sound solution.
Van Jones gets right to the point in the first sentence of the introduction: "The pain at the gas pump is just ...

One Fifth Avenue 27 reviews
Candace Bushnell
Voice, 2008
Excellent!
When you read the summary of the book in the cover it does not give you a really good idea of what to expect but there is so much more to this book than you could ever imagine. This book was her best. I was so sad when it was over. It has a nice sinister, mysterious quality to it with VERY interesting and well-developed characters. I like how she had great characters from young to old.

The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible387 reviews
A. J. Jacobs
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Light, Serious, and Reverend at the Same Time
A few months ago, I was going on a trip to Italy, including Rome, and thought this book would be a good travel companion. It was: light and funny enough for casual reading, but serious and reverend enough for its subject matter.
The subject matter being: "What happens when an Agnostic Jew from New York tries to live for a whole year like the ultimate Bible Fundamentalist? What happens if you ...

Me Talk Pretty One Day732 reviews
David Sedaris
Back Bay Books, 2001
Not heartwarming... in a good way.
Before reading this book, I very much thought from the title (and because at the time I did not know who David Sedaris is)that it would be a "heart wrenching tale" about some child who is physically unable to speak or doesn't have access to a decent education. It was one of those books I meant to get to someday, but probably never would. Finally someone clued me in. I read it in a day.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself)132 reviews
Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
What more can be said about a Classic Dr. Seuss?
I purchased this for my granddaughter because my daughter wanted to read it to her! So, I think I bought it for both of them.
All my children were raised on this and the other classic Dr. Seuss books. It's a fun thing to read for young and old. It gets the giggles going at bed time and beyond.
What more can I say? It's a children's classic written in true Dr. Seuss style!

The One Minute Manager164 reviews
Kenneth H. Blanchard, Spencer Johnson
William Morrow, 1982
Management musts!
The One Minute Manager is an oldie and a goodie. It's been a fun book to watch over the years as new generations of managers entering the workforce are exposed to it. I recently bought a copy for a new manager that reports to me, and bought the Amazon recommended title Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results along with it.
It turns out Squawk! is a new book that's also for ...

not my favorite by her, but pretty good. the story can be slow at points, and the main character overanalyzes a lot, but it's still worth reading.

I.O.U.S.A.: One Nation. Under Stress. In Debt.5 reviews
Addison Wiggin, Kate Incontrera
Wiley, 2008
Perfect Education about the Current State of Affairs
What a great read. I think what I like about this book is the format and the perfect level of detail. If you are looking for a scholarly analysis of our debt situation, keep looking. But if you are "ordinary" like me, this should keep you intrigued. I like the way the book is half problem analysis, with the other half being interviews of 12 financial "experts". Those interviewed present an ...

The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything65 reviews
Stephen M.R. Covey
Free Press, 2008
Very profound
This book is very applicable in every relationship that you have. Trust affects not only business, but also your personal relationships with your family and especially with your own self worth and self confidence. This is truly a profound book. It really goes hand-in-hand with another book I read called "The Book on Mind Management" by Dennis Deaton.
