You Only Live Twice (James Bond Novels) 206 reviews
Ian Fleming
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003
"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond"
XXXXX
It's difficult to believe that this movie is more than 40 years old (counting from the date of this review)!!
(Sir) Sean Connery made six EON (or "official") movies with him starring as James Bond. They were: (1) Dr. No (1962) (2) From Russia with Love (1963) (3) Goldfinger (1964) (4) Thunderball (1965) (5) You Only Live Twice (1967) and (6) Diamonds are Forever (1971).

This book is to the point. She has alot of the same topics & langauge as another well know author but without all the pages to go through. Each chapter is a quick & easy read. Makes for good dicussion.

Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company29 reviews
Andrew S. Grove
Doubleday Business, 1999
Enriching Personal Real-Life Account by Someone Who Had Managed a Mega-Size Corporation!!!
The real value of this book is that it is written by someone, Andrew Grove, who has actual experiences and managed a start-up right up to a mega successful corporation. There are tons of management and marketing books written by people, based on case-studies and analysis, but lack actual experiences managing or working in a corporation.
The main concept of this book is on strategic inflection ...

The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need104 reviews
Andrew Tobias
Harvest Books, 2005
Best Personal Finance Book I've Read So Far
I'll admit it. I'm pretty much a cynic. I've read a few finance books, and they often make me feel more daunted. Everyone comes across as all-knowing, that their advice is the best. The thing that makes this book different than many of the others, is because (as I believe he says in the intro) other books tell you how to play the game, but not whether or not you should be playing it at all. In ...

Only Love Is Real: A Story of Soulmates Reunited71 reviews
Brian Weiss
Grand Central Publishing, 1997
Brian Weiss does it again...Excellent Read!
Before I read this book I had just got done reading Michael Newton's book "Destiny of Souls". I got to tell you that book really put me in a bad place. It was very cold, depressing, & negative. I didn't find his book the least bit heartwarming or inspiring. It made me afraid to read any more books about past life regression. I wanted to read about it so I could understand why I have some of my ...

For Men Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women94 reviews
Shaunti Feldhahn, Jeff Feldhahn
Multnomah Books, 2006
Great read- fun and insightful!
Our pastor recommended this book (who knew!). My husband read "For Men Only" and I read "For Women Only." Before we were married, we decided that each year, we would read a 'foster our relationship' book together. This is by far the best read we've done! Very insightful, specific and a fun read. We've already recommended these books to a number of friends and family members- both those with ...

The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't118 reviews
Kenneth L. Fisher
Wiley, 2008
Just terrific
What a valuable read. This is not like any other investing book I've read. The chapter on oil is worth the price of the book alone, particularly now that everyone's so worried about oil. This was just one eye-opening shocker after another.
If you want real advice on how to beat markets, get this book. If you want another fad diet book on some magic formula that doesn't really work, this isn't ...

A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance: Portrait of an Age 198 reviews
William Manchester
Back Bay Books, 1993
The flavor of the middle ages
I was expecting a history book. I love history books. This was more of a history story, a fireside tale of history. That's ok -- I can take that. It reminds me of Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose -- about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
While *not* a comprehensive history of the Middle Ages, this was a great read. Manchester sketched the time period so clearly. And through this ...

The The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need (Board Review Series)25 reviews
Malcolm S Thaler
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
Terrific
I've tried Dale Dubin on three different occasions and always gave up midway. This book is easy to read, keeps up your interest, doesn't clog you with unnecessary information, has a good summary at the end of every chapter, good clinical examples are provided and the best part is that it is quite funny. I actually laughed out aloud where he says wolff-parkinson-white and lown-ganong-levine aren't ...

You're Only Old Once! A Book for Obsolete Children 32 reviews
Dr. Seuss

Cute and How True!
Dr. Seuss writes from personal experience, and this experience says a lot about the medical field! It is so good to see some humor concerning the fears and anxieties of growing old.

Contemporary AND historical!Recently while doing research for an exhibition on the 1920s, I purchased this fabulous little book
Recently while doing research for an exhibition on the 1920s, I purchased this fabulous little book called Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s. Historian Frederick Lewis Allen wrote it in 1931, before Prohibition was even repealed!
I bought it because I wanted a contemporary perspective on the decade from someone who was there. I was astounded at his insight into a decade that he ...

Only a Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul37 reviews
Kenneth R. Miller
Viking Adult, 2008
Belief in God and evolution are not mutually exclusive
Intelligent Design's Michael Behe has written books, such as "Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution", advocates ID-centric ideas like "irreducible complexity" to show that gradual evolution could not have produced complex biological organs or processes. What he's really saying is that the world is too much for us humans to understand, and that we should instead stop our ...

For Women Only Discussion Guide: A Companion to the Bestseller about the Inner Lives of Men9 reviews
Shaunti Feldhahn
Multnomah Books, 2006
A good start for women.
I liked this book. I bought it for my wife, but I also read it just to be sure that it was even remotely close to my view of "us" (especially myself). I can honestly say that this book relates to at least 10 of my friends , to include myself, in some ways or another (10 out of 15, the other five are just too backwards to apply to my readings). There were some things that I questioned, but ...

Dan Abnett
Games Workshop, 2008
My favorite of the series thus far.
The men and women of the Tanith First-and-Only, a.k.a. Gaunt's Ghosts, knew that this would not be an easy task, but when are they ever easy? Trouble is what they do. Now they are on Jago, a fortress world built along the trailwards salient of the Cabal System. As others are thrown into areas where the fighting is already intense, Gaunt's Ghosts' objective is Hinzerhaus, a labyrinth house full of ...

For Young Women Only: What You Need to Know About How Guys Think21 reviews
Shaunti Feldhahn, Lisa A. Rice
Multnomah Books, 2006
A valuable insight for moral girls/women
I first heard about this author when my wife was reading, "For Women Only." My wife kept asking me if what she was reading was true. At first I was intimidated by how candid and frank the author was, but I could not disagree that she described the inner landscape of men (at least of me!) with surgical precision.
Since then I have bought the man's version (about women), and bought this ...
