The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again20 reviews
Guy Finley

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2008

Real, Relevant, and Timely
This is one of those timeless books - it could be read today, or 100 years from now and the wisdom still rings true. There are several stories shared within the book, and Guy's discussion of those stories really helps bring out their truth more clearly. I highly recommend this book for anybody on a spiritual journey who is reaching that pivotal point where it is time to make the decision ... 		  
  







  
  
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)1069 reviews
Eckhart Tolle

Penguin, 2008

Awake and glad to be
Well when I got this book after having seen him on Oprah, I was not entirely sure as to whether it would be of any benefit to me. Well was I so wrong. What a dynamic? Woohooo. I get it Eckhart and Oprah, I really get it and at this moment I am getting it even more. When I watched Eckhart talking with Oprah on her radio live and any time on the tv I get a calmness that comes over me like never ... 		  
  







  
  
Big Russ and Me: Father and Son: Lessons of Life93 reviews
Timothy J. Russert

Miramax, 2005

my heart is cleft in twain
I was at an REM concert last night, and just called my voicemail for a tear filled message from my grandmother. She said, "Ken your favorite person passed away." I am distraught. I know I am not alone in saying that Tim was a member of my family through proxy. How can we have an election without him around for semblance? He was a shining star in an often horrendously filled genre of saturation. ... 		  
  







  
  
Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)1641 reviews
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Loved It!
When I first saw this book, I read a review that said "Move over Harry Potter". Being a huge HP fan I scoffed at that but read it anyway. I could not read it fast enough, it was that good. I think I read the first 3 books in 4 days. While the Twilight series has not replaced HP as my favorite series, it's definitely #2 - and it's not over yet so time will tell! Do not pass this book or any book ... 		  
  







  
  
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream522 reviews
Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2007

The Hopemongering ;-)
Barck Obama is a self described hopemongerer ( I think we need to add this word to the dictionary if it is not already there given the publicity it has gotten!). In this book he gives practical advice on what an individual can do to make a difference. I found the chapter 4 on politics particularly interesting. He openly talks about campaign financing and how expensive it is in the Illinois media ... 		  
  







  
  
The Shack611 reviews
William P. Young

Windblown Media, 2007

It touches hearts...
Several months ago I was told about this book by a member of the Christian Leadership Forum that I moderate. I couldn't get to the bookstore fast enough to buy it. And...after reading it, I've recommeded it to every living soul that even casually passes by. Our pastor bought a stackful and during his sermon told anyone who wanted the book to come and get it. He said, "I've never plugged a book ... 		  
  







  
  
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment873 reviews
Eckhart Tolle

New World Library, 2004

Genuine wonderful book
I bought this book when it first came out, and I still have it and enjoy reviewing it to this day. I have wondered at the hypocrisy of 'enlightened' people wanting to share their knowledge and at the same time collecting huge publishing royalties. i.e. Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, Dalai Lama, Pema Chodron et al. The singular fact that only Eckhart's books are sold at cost speaks volumes to ...

Daniel G. Amen

Three Rivers Press, 1999

Change Your Brain Change Your Life
I watched a program 0n TV in which the author Daniel G. Amen discussed this book and and that is why i ordred it.So far I am enjoying reading it. As a person who has suffered from anxiety all my life, I was searching for answers and Dr.Amen's theories interested me very much.So far I am fascinated by his theories and hope to find value in them for me..I have not finished the book but will ... 		  
  







  
  
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance236 reviews
Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Obama's quest of self-discovery
Although the title says the book is about race, after reading it, I don't agree. The issues of race are there, because after all, he is bi-racial, but that is not what the book is about. Any young man who never really got to know his father starts out with a disadvantage in the "search for who I am" department. His search was complicated by distance, culture, racism, family dynamics on an ...

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia1496 reviews
Elizabeth Gilbert

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

I Totally Relate!
Some of you have completely missed the point. Society does put these standards in your face about marriage, children, how one should live his or her life. When someone deviates from that path, other people freak out/judge. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with not being traditional: married, kids, blah, blah, blah. If that's what you want, great. If not, that's great too. Some of you seem to ... 		  
  







  
  
New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)681 reviews
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

As good as the first!
Loved it!! I'm an Edward/Bella fan, but I did sort of find myself rooting for Jacob in spite of myself. I could not read this book fast enough. Read it! 		  
  







  
  
I Was Told There'd Be Cake36 reviews
Sloane Crosley

Riverhead Trade, 2008

eh......
The book had a lot of hype and promise, but it didnt pan out. I read through it rather quickly and there are no LOL moments (as many reviews stated). I think the only reason I related to the story was b/c I am close in age to the author and grew up in westchester. Other than that, the stories lacked any direction and sometimes (especially the wedding story) I felt she was being a little obnoxious ... 		  
  







  
  
The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals425 reviews
Michael Pollan

Penguin, 2007

The Omnivore's Dilemna
This book is great and should be read by everyone. I think we the "eating public" need this education. 		  
  







  
  
Water for Elephants: A Novel1323 reviews
Sara Gruen

Algonquin Books, 2007

This rube was hooked
As an animal-lover and not a fan of the circus, I felt a little wary of the setting and subject matter when beginning to listen to the unabridged audio version of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. But soon I was totally hooked by the two narrators, young and old voices of Jacob, and by Gruen's evocative language and masterful storytelling. Like another reader/reviewer, I was reminded of family stories about ...

Chelsea Handler

Bloomsbury USA, 2005

I giggled all the way through this book. It is crude and funny. She is the female Max Tucker.

Lisa Lillien

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Great service and great product.
Had been on the email list for Hungry Girl for months and could not wait for the cookbook to come out. Was glad to be able to get it a less than recommended price and in new condition! Very pleased with encounter. 		  
  







  
  
Skinny Bitch665 reviews
Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman

Running Press, 2005

Are you ready for the truth?
When you learn about what you are shoveling into your mouth, it becomes easier to change what & how you eat. I love the authors blunt, no nonsense delivery. Toughen up and get ready to hear the truth!
