The Hobo Philosopher
The first time that I read this book I was about 18 years old. This is the only book in my life that I have ever read where I can say that "I couldn't put it down". I read this book and I balled like a baby. I remember that I had to go and get a handkerchief and blow my nose while wiping the tears away so that I could continue reading. When I finished the book - and I only read the abridged ...

Top 9 Reasons to Read The Devil, The Lovers, and Me
Top 9 Reasons to Read The Devil, The Lovers, and Me: 1. It is original and quirky and funny. 2. That was three already. 3. Kimberlee Auerbach is brave and willing to examine her own life closely. 4. Which may give you some insight into yours. 5. And also into this particular moment in history. One thing that struck me as I was reading this voice was how thoroughly located in the ...

Fearless Living: Live without Excuses and Love without Regret

Rhonda Britten

Dutton Adult, 2001

AN INSPIRATIONAL READ
Just telling her own story of loss, suffering and trauma would be enough --- but she overcomes her earlier childhood trauma and shares with the reader how they too can reclaim their lives. I was inspired by this book and the woman who wrote it. Pamela D. Blair, Author The Next Fifty Years: A Guide for Women at Mid-Life And Beyond

They Cage the Animals at Night: The True Story of a Child Who Learned to Survive

Jennings Michael Burch

Dutton Adult, 1984

Heart-wrenching is an understatement.
I just finished this book--what an emotional ride. I was worried it was a story about parents who actually put their child in a cage. But it is not about parents abusing children; more about a child's survival, love, and connection, all while living in a harsh and deadening world. If you are going to read this book, be ready for it to open your heart, bring about deep-seated emotions, and be ...

Miracle
This is not a review of the book per se (just got it, have not read it yet), but thought I needed to share this. Book arrived with another book (a textbook) in the usual Amazon box, each laying side by side. It was left out in the rain for most of the day by the local carrier until I brought it inside. The entire box was soaked and ruined, tape fallen off and box literally gaping open, all of ...

American Wholefoods Cuisine
Trying to find a good all round vegetarian cookbook is quite a difficult task. Many of the vegetarian cookbooks I've come across are either gourmet and not really suitable for everyday meals or full of bland tofu recipes that resemble cardboard in taste and texture. Finding recipes that use only whole foods is even more difficult. I've only come across one or two good ones that had maybe a half ...

Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC)

Ayn Rand

Dutton Adult, 2005

Night's Splender Studded in Diamonds. More Stars, Please!
I've read this novel three times. I'll read it again. Each time it seems to live in my mind on a grander, higher scale. In interviews and in some of her nonfiction books, Rand has said that the purpose of a novel is to entertain, to tell a good story. In ATLAS SHRUGGED she has accomplished this purpose, possibly better than any other novel. I haven't read every other novel; I don't want ...

Tabitha King

Dutton Adult, 1993

Unrealized excellent talent
Tabitha King has a wonderful talent with bending the written word in such a way that it captivates the reader to the point of not being able to put the book down until the very last page. Unfortunately, though I am a great fan of Stephen King, Tabitha gets very little of the spotlight and I am disappointed that none of her books are available to buy as new books.

Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success: The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement

Napoleon Hill

Dutton Adult, 1994

Truly inspirational. Builds upon "Think and Grow Rich".
There are thousands of self-help books out in the market and hundreds of self proclaimed "gurus" who have made a living by copying the wisdom in Napoleon Hill's books. As I went through some of those books I realized that there was not much in them that Hill had not already written about. I recommend quality over quantity. Instead of reading through many books, I recommend that you study the ...

Gods Go Begging
Alfrodo Vea shows the way that war realy efects people not only on the battle field but also the people that the soldiers leave behind when they die. The story is of two battles one fought in Vvietnam and another fought on the streets of San francisco. As the book progresses the reader finds out more and more about the story up until the shocking This is a great book chock full of Vea's twisted ...

The Pilgrim's Progress

John Bunyan

Dutton Adult, 1957

Readable and human parable. A story for all times.
The first time that I encountered Christian and his pilgrimage was as a preface and a family favorite in the book Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Unfortunately, it was not until twenty-something years later that I actually got around to reading the book itself. If I were you, I would not wait that long. The first part of the current combined book appeared in 1678. Bunyan, a nonconformist ...

A Fresh Perspective On King Arthur Without Lancelot!
An incredible version of King Arthur sans Lancelot. This is the story of Arthur, and his more than humble beginnings, until Merlin tells him years after he "adopted" him that he is the heir to the British throne after Uther. He is Uther and Igraine's legitimate son. While Merlin is preparing him to be a leader whilst living in Avalon with his daughter Morgan, the two children develop a lasting ...

Truly inspiring - a must read!
This is the true story of Brother Andrew and his work in smuggling Bibles to those Christians oppressed by communism. There are many moments of miraculous interventions by God and Brother Andrew's touchingly transparent story will bring a tear to your eye and inspire you to appreaciate the freedoms we have and to help those who do not, even if only in prayer. This is one book that will not ...

Well written and very well researched
Mr. Burke....Excellent. From California, to Cuba, to Georgia, I loved this book. Very well researched, and written. I felt I got to know each character in the book. Being a fisherman myself, I knew the names, but not the stories.....again, BRAVO!!!

Thom Racina

Dutton Adult, 1996

A Compelling, Super Suspenseful Snow Angel
Not an especial fan of the murder-mystery tale, I was surprised to find myself seduced completely and happily by Mr. Racina's bone-chilling story of human slaughter, life-shattering lies, no-holds-barred revenge, and nail-biting suspense. I was even more surprised to be captivated by "Snow Angel" because the first chapter reveals who done it, how, where, and why it was done. The author's years ...
