Mabel Iam

Atria, 2006

Wow. this is the perfect book for busy people
Wow. this is the perfect book for busy, active people who want to keep their sex life alive, but who don't have time to spend learning. When I thought there were not any more sex "techniques" I could learn from a book, this book just amazed me. This book just transformed my sex and it is never going to be better than after reading it. I've read my share of sex books but this one is very ...

John Medina

Pear Press, 2008

What we all need to know about how the brain works
In the Introduction, John Medina expresses his concern that most people are "out of the loop" in that they are unaware of recent and important revelations in modern neuroscience concerning "how the mind works." His purpose is to explain 12 "brain rules" and devotes a separate chapter to each. "Easily the most sophisticated information-transfer system on Earth, your brain is fully capable of ...

Invaluable
Invaluable aid to carrying out a thoroughgoing, more objective review of your own work. Keeps to the point all the way through. No padding, no folksy 'You can do it' stuff, just good advice.

Walls, fabrics, cards, furniture, kids (if they'd hold still long enough!) I love Lotta's simple designs and can't wait to get printing.

HOLY BIBLE/ SCHOOL AND CHURCH EDITION- Regular Print

4 reviews

Fireside Catholic Publishing, 1998

Includes a Useful Dictionary of Catholic Terms.
The Fireside Bible (ISBN:1556654901) is a nice copy of the New American Bible (NAB) for Catholics, and it includes some very useful supplimental appendicies. Because of its thick cover, the bible itself is quite durable by bible paper standards. There is no red-lettering, but each book within the bible is marked on the side by black tabs. At the begining, the book has a short ...

Life of Pi

Yann Martel

Harvest Books, 2003

Couldn't Put It Down
I read this book 3 years ago and was looking up the author on Amazon to recommend it to a friend and I couldn't believe it only has an average of 4 stars. Of course i remember the story but I can't remember every nuance that moved me and put such light in my heart. So without giving away details I will just say that there is a lot of symbolism and underlying meanings going on so even though it ...

Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Bourne Sanction
Eric Van Lustbader

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

But after so many adrenaline-soaked years of risking his life, Bourne finds himself chafing under the quiet life of a linguistics professor. Aware of his frustrations, his academic mentor, Professor Specter, asks for help investigating the murder of a former student by a previously unknown Muslim extremist sect. The young man ...

Plainsong

Kent Haruf

Vintage, 2000

Just luminous.
I've read this book at least three times and its spare, delicate voice moves me every time. I feel myself connect with the characters, come to care about them, through the SPACE Haruf leaves with that language as simple as the Colorado plains (which I've visited a number of times, and they are as stripped and desolate as parts of the story are). Haruf's ability to juxtapose life's harshness ...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead, 2007

so addictive, so inspiring, so touching
After reading Kite Runner (highly recommend) I sought out A Thousand Splendid Suns. There is something about Khaled Hosseini's writing that is so addictive, so inspiring, so touching that you can't help but feel compassion for the young children in his stories. In Kite Runner we were introduced to two young boys, in A Thousand Splendid Suns we meet a young Afghan girl. Both stories are filled ...

Moby-Dick or, The Whale (Penguin Classics)

Herman Melville

Penguin Classics, 2002

"I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts"
Having reached the mid-life point, I didn't "get around to" reading MOBY-DICK until just recently. I'm certainly glad that I finally stopped putting it off. Herman Melville's work is truly one of the most amazing books I have read. As others have pointed out here, it's not always an easy read, but it is well worth devoting time to. Indeed, I approached it as if it were an artisan cheese or a ...

The Art of Racing in the Rain LP

Garth Stein

HarperLuxe, 2008

A book every dog parent needs to read
I laughed and cried while reading this book. Rooted for Enzo and his family throughout the read. This is such a great book, told with humor and humanity and I highly recommend this to any pet parent who loves their pets and just knows your buddy is more human than most humans. Definitely recommend this book.

Cecil Medicine: Expert Consult: Online and Print (Cecil Textbook of Medicine)

19 reviews

Saunders, 2007

More authoritative, readable and practical than Harrison's
You may just be interested in only Harrison's and may ignor Cecil's. But if you pay some attentions and seriously consider Cecil's, I am sure you will find out a lot of superb practical chapters and approaches to patients. Many of the chapters were written by world experts and authorities. Compared with Harrison's, Cecil's may contain more world experts and authorities. Many many chapters, ...

This is a very good book for standard sewers that know some of the basics of using a sewing machine. The instructions are very clear and comes with many varieties of patterns to use.

The Message: The Bible In Comtemporary Language, Large Print Numbered Edition

11 reviews
Eugene H. Peterson

NavPress Publishing Group, 2007

The Truth about God
This is a great Bible if you like to just sit down and read it through. The "message" of how good God is comes through as you read. The quality of the book itself is outstanding--nice genuine leather cover, easy to read print, not too large and not too small. This particular edition is not as good for use as a study Bible because verses aren't numbered, except at the beginning of paragraphs.

Dirt

Stuart Woods

HarperTorch, 1997

What a hoot!
This book was a hoot and a half to read - a vicious gossip-monger who has always been careful to keep her own dirty laundry hidden finds out she hasn't done as good a job as she would like and finds the tables turned. She turns to Stone Barrington to get help. As things progress, more and more of the high and mighty find themselves being drug through the mud. I had lots of good laughs in this, ...

Great Book
This was a great book with lots of information about building your own mud oven. It was easy to follow how to build the oven and there was a lot of explaining about how and why every little thing worked.
