Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier53 reviews
Andrea Robinson

Broadway, 2005

The outstanding approach to wine
If you have room for only one wine book, this is the book to own. Andrea Robinson nee Immer is a master sommelier who started out with Kevin Zraly at Windows on the World, and has become one of the great wine teachers in the world. I met her in 2001 at the Wine Expo in Boston, attended a wine tasting of Australian wines, and took her intensive three day course on wine at the French Culinary ... 		  
  







  
  
Escape147 reviews

Broadway, 2007

Polygamy, sex abuse, mental abuse, mothers love.
I bough this book after the news of the raid in El dorado, Texas, I never heard before about this kind of cult neither that there is so many people living in polygamy in the US. The book is amazing because it describes so many horrible things that could happen to a person and that you never imagined that could happen in a society like ours. Raised with the idea that your only job in this live is ...

Soul Sisters
I love this cookbook. Patti and I have a lot in common, she loves cooking and singing and I love cooking and writing...that must make us soul sisters. Patti's Pointers, pictures, introductions and notations throughout the book, along with its yummy recipes added a special touch to the book.

German Boy: A Child in War59 reviews
Wolfgang W. E. Samuel

Broadway, 2001

GERMAN BOY
I learned of this author and his saga through the Berlin Airlift Association. I am WWII vintage, first landed in Berlin during the Pottsdam Conference- July '45. I was later stationed in Germany on three different occasions and flew on the Berlin Airlift in '48 as a pilot. I read and thoroughly enjoyed Wolfgang's story and went through the book in a matter of hours- a rarity for me. It was a ... 		  
  







  
  
Wake Up, I'm Fat!119 reviews
Camryn Manheim

Broadway, 1999

Wonderful book by a strong, intelligent, beautiful woman
After reading the past reviews, I wonder if I'm the only man who read this book. The first thing that caught my eyes, I'll be honest, was the cover picture. Camryn is a gorgeous woman with very nice legs. She is also a person of deep character, who has persevered and triumphed despite the prejudices of our shallow society. She relates her struggles in a moving way, but avoids the whining, ... 		  
  







  
  
Ship Ablaze: The Tragedy of the Steamboat General Slocum51 reviews
Ed O'Donnell

Broadway, 2004

Horrifying Tale Spun Well
Edward T. O'Donnell tells a horrific tale in Ship Ablaze. In a matter of minutes a steamboat full of a German-American church group went from enjoying a ride down the East River on a beautiful day towards picnic grounds to fighting for their lives as an inferno consumed the lives of over a thousand people, mainly children and women, through fire or drowning. The very life preservers themselves ... 		  
  







  
  
Chocolate and Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen45 reviews
Clotilde Dusoulier

Broadway, 2007

Amazing
Clotilde Dusoulier chronicles Parisian food at this website and her book with the same title. At just 27 years of age, Dusoulier gives us over 75 recipes and gives comments throughout. As a lover of scones, I was intrigued by her Carrot and Rosemary Miniature Scones! She also offers recipes for French classics, such as Beef Bourguignon and Pistou. And finally, we discover her recipe for chocolate ... 		  
  







  
  
Smart Women Finish Rich138 reviews
David Bach

Broadway, 1999

His Grandmother Taught Him Well!
Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well. I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out ...

Michael M. Phillips

Broadway, 2006

The best book I've read so far this year.
I know it's only January but this book is fantastic - an extremely well-written account of a fascinating story of a true American hero. Strongly recommended. 		  
  







  
  
The Last Legends of Earth32 reviews
A.A. Attanasio

Broadway, 1989

Humanity in perspective
I love this book. I read it years ago and forgot the name of the book, the author and only now do I realize it was part of a series of books, and yet I have never forgotten the story. I think for me the most powerful part is how limited humans are relative to the Tryl (a species on Earth that evolves to an intelligence and grace greater than humans 1 billion years after we kill ourselves off) ... 		  
  







  
  
Raise the Roof42 reviews
Pat Summitt

Broadway, 1999

Champion once more.
Coach Summit is without a doubt the absolute best college basketball coach-male or female ever. And she doesn't even have to throw chairs. My hat's off to her and her program. Talk about integrity, work ethic and understanding of the game. Her book shines as a testament to her abilities. You have a lot to learn, Geno. 		  
  







  
  
How to Write a Selling Screenplay37 reviews
Christopher Keane

Broadway, 1998

The Brokeback Passion of Harry Potter Kong
As Chance the Gardener says in BEING THERE, "I like to watch." As one who also likes to watch, this 'blockbuster release' time of year always makes me wonder....Could I do 'that'? Just how hard is it to do 'that.? 'That' being writing a screenplay and whatever comes after. A mystery to most of us watchers. This time I decided to seek answers to these questions. I naturally sought a book, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Cat Who'll Live Forever: The Final Adventures of Norton, the Perfect Cat, and His Imperfect Human39 reviews
Peter Gethers

Broadway, 2002

C'EST MAGNIFIQUE!
THE CAT WHO'LL LIVE FOREVER completes author Peter Gethers' trilogy honoring his charming Scottish Fold best friend, Norton; I was captivated by all three books, and unabashedly moved by this account of Gethers' and Norton's final adventures together. While THE CAT WHO WENT TO PARIS and A CAT ABROAD were pure escapist joy for cat lovers and travel buffs, THE CAT WHO'LL LIVE FOREVER made me bawl. ... 		  
  







  
  
Make Gentle the Life of This World: The Vision of Robert F. Kennedy32 reviews
Maxwell Taylor Kennedy

Broadway, 1999

Weep, yes, but then be inspired
For those who missed the time in which those now called "Reagan Democrats" and those opposed to the ongoing war in Vietnam were inspired by the same voice, especially who cannot even begin to imagine how that could be, this small book is a must-read that will enable you to experience what is possible through inspiring [rather than angry divisive cynical] leadership. Some quotes from the ... 		  
  







  
  
Taekwondo: The State of the Art30 reviews
Sung Chul Master Whang, Jun Chul Master Whang

Broadway, 1999

Really Good for beginners
I bought this my first week of TaeKwonDo. At first it was a little overwhelming. As I learned, the book became a very useful tool. It's really great to practice the physical and read the theory and history behind it in this book. It's a great guide for practicing at home. I recommend this book for any beginner to this sport.

The New Doubleday Cookbook31 reviews
Jean Anderson

Broadway, 1990

The Singe Best All-Purpose Cookbook in Print
I bought my first copy of THE DOUBLEDAY COOKBOOK when it was first published in the mid-70s. It's been the kitchen resource I turn to most for answering questions and for ideas about a recipe. I own many all-purpose cookbooks, including JOY OF COOKING, which I've always found difficult because of the way the recipes are layed out on the page. THE NEW DOUBLEDAY COOKBOOK is more sophisticated, ...
