LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL !
I have read hundreds of business biographies, how-to-do and business books. This is one of the best and I recommend it, because it inspired me like no other business book. The most interesting suggestions are: - Have fun, work hard and money will come. - When it's not fun, move on. - Be bold, aim high. - Try new things, always try. - Challenge yourself. - Money is for making things happen. ...

A very interesting biography
I have read both the hardcover and the new and revised paperback version of "I'm Chevy Chase...And You're Not." This is an excellent book which gives the reader a fascinating portrait of the subject, showing how Chevy Chase's early years influenced his life and career as an adult, and how he maintained his values despite dealing with the worst aspects of Hollywood. The paperback edition covers ...

Love This Book!
Seriously, who doesn't write shopping lists? Maybe Britney Spears or somebody like that, but any normal person would love this book! My favorite was this guy Woody whose list was "oreos and beer." Of course in Hillary's interpretation he turns out to be a total waste product guy who honestly thinks he looks like Steven Tyler. Woody wishes! Anyway, even when the people are weird like ...

We are born like this ... into this ...
I don't know what's more disturbing, reading about the Post Office in this dark and grimy tale of slogging and mundane shift work or actually knowing where a lot of these locations that Hank describes and having to visit them regularly. Thank God for the sorting machines or some of those employees just might be ready to immolate themselves. After getting the skinny on exactly what a postal worker ...

Virgin Books, 2003

The Economics of Beast Cancer
Jane Plant's book is ground-breaking and courageous. Every woman who's had breast cancer should read it. This is information no-one else will give you. Breast cancer is a huge industry, with expensive chemotherapy treatments that benefit only about one in ten women. Conventional medicine is limited in what it can offer breast cancer patients, and tends to camouflage the picture with pink ribbons, ...

70 Pounds and Counting....
This diet has really worked for me and I want to add some of my observations. There are some pretty comprehensive reviews on here already so I will not summarize anything from the book to minimize repetition. Stats on me: I started in May of 05 and lost 5 pounds a week for the first four weeks. I only lost so much because I was well over 200lb (as a 5'5'' female). After that it was more ...

A book I can't LIVE without!
It is 3 years since I bought this book,in April 2005, soon after being diagnosed with the most serious staging of prostate cancer. I had only just celebrated my 54th birthday and here was I being told that the prognosis was very, very bleak. I then bought and read Jane Plant's own inspiring story of her fight against breast cancer in her book "Your life In Your Hands", and I became convinced of ...

A woman on 'Women'
There isn't anything I can add to what has already been said, and better than I could say it anyways. But I noticed one review a guy said not to let your wife read it. WRONG. I'm 26, a wife, mom, so on and so forth, and I'm the Bukowski reader in my house. I picked up Post Office and was hooked, and before I'd even finished I got Women, Factotum, and Dirty Old Man. I had only hoped they'd be as ...

A decent intermediate level book
If you enjoy solving logic puzzles and you'd like to sharpen your mental arithmetic skills, then these are the puzzles for you. These puzzles are similar to Classic Sudoku in that you have to place the numbers 1-9 uniquely in each row, column, and box. The difference is that a Killer Sudoku puzzle is also covered with dotted outline "cages", each of which has a number that indicates the sum of ...

truly inspirational
Warning: Don't get carried away by the title of this book, it is purely metaphoric. When you are handed a 600 page autobiography of an entrepreneur, at first, you may wonder whether such a piece is worth even leafing through. Who has the time to read stuff like this? LOSING MY VIRGINITY is an extraordinary book written by an extraordinary man, Richard Branson. One may actually have some ...

The Fetish Fact Book

Paul Scott

Virgin Books, 2004

Fetish has wormed its way into American Mainstream Culture.
Most Americans haven't the faintest idea of how deeply fetishes have wormed their way into the popular culture. Leave it to a Brit to point out the obvious to those of us living in their former American Colony. After a brief definition of just what constitutes the sub-culture of "Fetishism," Scott provides a historical glimpse of various fetishes especially those practiced within the Christian ...

Librarians at the Gates
If Don Borchert worked at the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Post Office, he probably could have produced a very instructive and entertaining account of his life on the job. As it is, he works at a public library, and so he has produced an instructive and entertaining account about his life there. He is a thoughtful observer of the passing scene and a careful recorder of the offbeat. He ...
