What a good job
I really enjoyed reading about his experience as a driver. It is well written and not boring. Which it could have been since it is always hard to write about work. I loved watching his father race and now I get to watch him.

Maverick: The Success Story Behind the World's Most Unusual Workplace

Ricardo Semler

Warner Books, 1993

One of the best business books ever
I think this book gives In Search of Excellence a run for its money as the all time great. This book really promotes a different way of thinking about the workplace in a much more collaborative way. I can't wait to start his other book the Seven-Day Weekend.

The Quiet Room: A Journey Out of the Torment of Madness

Compelling
This is a unique and beautiful book. Any person with interests in Psychiatry or Mental Health issues must read it. It's the first time I experienced what a schizophrenic felt first hand. A must-read!

When Worlds Collide

Philip Wylie, Edwin Balmer

Warner Books, 1973

A do-over well worth doing again
This is one of a handful of books I've read twice. Wonderful for introducing a young person to science fiction. I've also read the sequel, which I delightfully discovered in a second-hand store. It is also quite good.

Morigu: The Desecration

Warner Books, 1986

Want More
I love this book, along with the sequel Morigu: The Dead. This was some fast paced, large scale fantasy. But be warned, the series was never completed. From what I have been able to gather, Mr. Perry's publisher dropped him after the second book, and he has found work in Hollywood. Given the length of time now, I seriously doubt he will finish the series even if he was willing. It is a ...

The Eagle and the Rose: A Remarkable True Story

Rosemary Altea

Warner Books Inc, 1996

A GRAND Medium
This book was given to me by one of my customers following the death of my son. I went on to write, Blessings In The Mire, and had this title not been taken, it would likely have been the title to my book. Having read this, I was privy to multiple magical events, including a couple of Eagle sightings, and one very large and beautifully expressive Rose miracle. This book, and Ms. Altea are ...

A necessity for any writer
Although this is an older title I still use it quite frequently. If you do any kind of writing, whether academic/legal/leisure I highly recommend this book. Sometimes I just can't find the right word to convey the intended message so I open this up and 9 times out of 10 I come away with the word I'm looking for.

The Rainbow Goblins

Ul De Rico

Warner Books, 1983

Stunning!
I have all the same things to say as everyone else. I loved this as a kid, my copy was all torn apart, the artwork is stunning, etc., etc. The story is lovely and teaches a lesson. My 2-year old likes this story because of the illustrations and the COLORS. He likes to name the colors of the goblins. Of course, he does not really understand the story, which is good, because it might be a ...

Oddkins: A Fable for All Ages

Dean R. Koontz, Phil Parks

Warner Books, 1988

One of the best story books ever
I have been looking for a copy of this book for years. It was the 2nd book I read by Koontz and fell in love with it. I had read it over several times and fell into the story and art work everytime. Even though it's been over 10 years since I've last seen or read the story, I remember it as if I read it last week. I only wish it was more available for others to enjoy as well. This is ...

Desi Arnaz

Warner Books, 1977

Wonderfully well-written!
Throughout the pages of this book, one gets the impression that Desi really did love Lucy and she loved him, but they seemed to be one of those couples that could not live together. He was a philanderer and she had a hot temper and that (apparently) made for some rough living. The singular most interesting fact from this book that I will probably never EVER forget is this: After Desi and Lucy ...

Jackie Collins

Warner Books, 1983

Fun, original read!
I just love this story, it's about impossible to put down. It follows the crazy lives of several characters with love, betrayal, operations of the mob, murder-you name it- the only complaint is that it does include MANY graphic sex scenes, almost to the point of over-kill. This is definitely an adult read. I do plan to read the sequels too!

Dorothy Dunnett

Warner Books, 1984

'It is not one thing you seek, but two..'
This is the sixth and final novel in Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles. Like each of the novels in the series, the action is fast, absorbing and beautifully written. Lymond himself is dealing with the issues of nations and of monarchs while at the same time grappling with family secrets and finding that his own limits of endurance are being reached. Set against the backdrop of the marriage ...

Catspaw

Joan D. Vinge

Warner Books, 1989

Intrigue, adventure, exciting- you get it all
I loved this book. I've read the entire series of the main character, Cat, but Catspaw I believe is best in the series. What's more, the book can stand alone. The unique writing kept me interested the entire journey, with the 1st person view of the main character, but his abilities to read minds lets you have the perspective of other characters in the book as well. I liked Cat's personality. He's ...

The Bondwoman's Narrative

34 reviews
Hannah Crafts, Henry Louis Jr. Gates

Warner Books, 2002

Historical Fiction original
A fascinating and horrifying account of a slave woman's experience. While fiction, the story appears to be based on the life of an actual Hannah. Don't be put off by the long introduction. It becomes more significant after reading the narrative itself. This book gives a great emotional account of the horrors of slavery. It is amazing the vocabulary the author had without being formally ...

Mitten Strings for God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry

Katrina Kenison

Warner Books, 2002

A Beautiful, Thoughtful Book - Requires the right frame of mind to appreciate
As others have noted, this book is a series of reflections about motherhood and the importance of slowing down to savor daily life with loved ones. This book energized me to make several changes in my own life. Part of my motivation for homeschooling this year was a desire to have a more conscious, contemplative, and purposeful life rather than a frantic-mad-dashing here and there life. ...

Citizen Washington

William Martin

Warner Books, 1999

Audio version: Entertaining!
The audiobook runs 6 hours and is surprisingly fun to listen to. Other reviewers have covered most of what you need to know so I will just add a parental advisory: contains rough language of a creative sort that boys of a certain age may like to quote, so if you are looking for something educational for a family car trip, this may not be suitable. Otherwise, I certainly recommend this book as an ...

Prehistory of the Far Side

Gary Larson

Warner Books, 1991

Essential book for "Far Side" fans
So you've got the massive two-volume "Complete Far Side" and figure you're all set, Gary Larson-wise. If so, you're a few cows short of a herd, because you need this book to round out your collection. It's not just a collection of his comics. The book has a discussion of how his career as a cartoonist got started and has examples of his previous effort, a one-newspaper comic in the same style ...
