Not to be forgotten!
I picked up this little gem when I was 10 years old and loved it. I didn't get some of the humor then, but as an adult, I can appreciate it even more. Great fun!

The new diary: How to use a journal for self-guidance and expanded creativity

Inspiring
After keeping a journal for the better part of the last decade, it had started to lose its lustre for me and at times even felt chorish. I felt I had nothing to write about and was guilty for no longer writing. And then I read The New Diary. It reminded me of all the wonderful things about journalling that I'd forgotten and opened me to new techniques and tools. Most importantly, it stopped ...

Wonderful Addition to any Birkam Yogi
After taking Bikram Yoga classes for five months, I bought this book, and my practice will never be the same! Bikram breaks down every pose, through pictures and words, allowing you to truly understand what the body should look like and how it should feel in each pose. Even better, he also shows you through words and pictures how the body shouldn't look, allowing you to know what you are doing ...

Growing Up

Congdon & Weed/Distributed by St. Martin's Press, 1982

very touching and humorous
My three favorite books about growing up, "My Dog Skip", "The Old Man and the Boy", and this book, "Growing Up" by Russell Baker, were all written by newspaper and magazine journalists with Southern roots. There must be some southern storytelling tradition that turns out writers of great memoirs. This is a charming book, full of love of family, humor, and growing up during the difficult ...

Barbara Michaels

A stormy night, a dark rainbow
Romance, suspense, an ancient English manor house, a beautiful young heroine with two very different men in her life....how could a novel fail with these ingredients? Barbara Michaels spins a bodice-ripper tale that is far above the ordinary. Using her fine ear for dialogue, her quick and accurate characterizations, and solid plotting, she quickly engages the reader's interest and empathy. ...

Elizabeth Peters

distributed by St. Martin's Press, 1982

Fast-paced, funny and fabulous!
I have been a fan of Elizabeth Peters for just over a year, but have been devouring her books quickly. This is one of my favourites. It is quite short but extremely well written with a sharp sense of humour. The main characters are enjoyable, intelligent (although they don't always act it) and endearing. It combines adventure, comedy and romance beautifully with an emphasis on the last two. ...

Deadworry
Edward Gorey is probably best known for the animations that precede Mystery, on PBS. His cartoons have appeared in a wide variety of magazines, and he has published a massive number of books. His Amphigorey series (Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too, Amphigorey Also) collects his works in omnibus form. Amphigorey Also is the third in the series. It is a perfect introduction for those not familiar ...

Here I Stay

Barbara Michaels

distributed by St. Martin's Press, 1983

Great anti-cliché
Since I don't like romantic novels -that is, novels that are centered on the romance between the characters- I began to read this with extra caution and a pinch of prejudice. I also bore in mind that it is extremely difficult to find a "gothic" novel that is not full of the usual "blood-curdling" clichés. But I knew this author already as Elizabeth Peters and thought that she narrated wonderfully ...

Bill Thomas

Wonderful eye opener of mental institution treatment
I read this book many years ago and have not been able to forget it nor what this man went through. This is a true story of how Mr. Thomas was misdiagnosed and abusively treated in the mental institution. A must, must read for those involved in the care of the emotionally disturbed.

The Belle of the Fens
If you are an art lover, live in the greater Boston area, or are planning on visiting soon, this book is a must-read. Not only was this one of the most fascinating women I have ever read about, but she and her husband together, moved in circles with the "shakers and movers" of their generation. All of the famous Bostonians you hear about in historical lore were a part of their lives. Henry L. ...

Prince Ombra: A Thought-Provoking Adventure Story for All Ages, by Annie Haroldsen
Prince Ombra is an amazingly well-written novel that has the ability to capture its audience and keep them reading from the first page to the very end. Roderkick MacLeish's brilliant themes and characterization bring the book to life and make it meaningful to every reader--whether they are young or old. It is well worth the money to buy and time spent on reading this book, because it is full of ...

Must reading for an understanding of U.S. imperialism
As indicated in the other reviews, this book is superb. Do try to get the original Congdon & Weed print. I met Kwitny at a book signing for the Penguin version. He explained why the book had a rather large number of blank pages. In 1953, Kennett Love was the New York Times's man in Tehran during the CIA-orchestrated overthrow of Mossadegh. Preparing for the book, Kwitny had obtained ...

From a Pastor
I pastor a church in the Dallas Texas area. It never ceases to amaze me how much satan will attack these writings to cover up his activities. My wife grew up around satanism and was an SRA victim growing up. She went on to practice witchcraft, but came to Christ around the age of 29. I assure you this book and others like this are very real. This is a must read for any Christian as we move ...

It tells the story of Horton "Horty" Bluett, a young boy who lives unhappily with his abusive adoptive father. The boy's only "friend" is a jack-in-the-box with glittering, jeweled eyes.

Always postpone meetings with time-wasting morons (A Dilbert book)

Scott Adams

Distributed by St. Martin's Press, 1992

The First Dilbert Book
This is the first Dilbert book, filled with intelligent, totally funny humor on everyday life. This book did not have the official pointy haired boss, Wally, Alice, Ratbert, or Catbert. This book focuses more on Dilbert and Dogbert at home, on walks, and other places that don't have much to do with office life. These kinds of jokes are just as funny as the business jokes. This book should be read ...
