Flying High: Remembering Barry Goldwater

3 reviews
William Buckley

Basic Books, 2008

Probably the perfect Goldwater Revolution book
The year was 1964 - President Kennedy had been martyred, and now-President Johnson looked unassailable. However, there was one man on the Conservative side who seemed willing to carry the flag, and seek to turn back the tide of Liberalism that was flowing out of Washington DC - Barry Goldwater, Au H2O. And there was one man who was always there, even if he wasn't the man the cameras were pointed ...

Remembering: A Novel

Wendell Berry

Counterpoint, 2008

wonderful way to conclude American Literature course
In American Literature courses (of the high school variety) the "American Dream" too often ends up sounding like the "American Nightmare." Jay Gatsby, Willy Loman, Roy Hobbs (The Natural) -- they all come to disastrous ends because they all follow the wrong dream. This year, I ended my 11th grade American Literature course with Wendell Berry's short novel "Remembering." I taught it along with ...

Joe Haldeman

Ace, 1998

On the Verge of Extinction!
Joe Haldeman (1943) wrote two "Hugo" & "Nebula" awarded novels: "The Forever War" (1975) and the present one "Forever Peace" (1997). This is not a minor achievement. He produces high quality sci-fi as his "Worlds" trilogy, his also "Hugo" & "Nebula" awarded novella "The Hemingway Hoax" (1990) and a number of excellent short stories. Both novels show Haldeman's war experience, he saw action at ...

Miroslav Volf

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2006

Volf Continues to Challenge - A Must Read
In a post Holocaust, post (this is ethonocentric, I know) 9/11 world the world, we are commonly called to Remember the wrongs, both terrible and minute, forever. The idea runs: If we forget, we disgrace the victim and allow the perpetrator to go free. But Volf, stirred deeply both by his own trying life situations and abiding faith in Christ, declares we should not allow this false form of ...

Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 1)

1027 reviews
Frank Herbert

Ace, 1990

An excellent book for any fan of science fiction!
When I started off reading Dune 3-4 years ago, I gave up about 200 pages in just because it seemed too complex to me at the time. Years later, I came back to it again because the summertime is quite boring with no job/school. Suffice to say, not only did I understand what was going on a lot better, I actually loved the book in the end. Dune is set on a planet known as Arrakis, which ...

Remembering the Kanji: A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters ...

83 reviews
James W. Heisig

University of Hawaii Press, 2007

A radical paradigm shift.
Learning Kanji by rote memorization the way native Japanese do is something that is only worth pursuing if you happen to start your Japanese language studies at any early age. As a fully developed adult, the way in which one should go about studying vast amounts of characters is entirely different from that of a child. Through various techniques utilizing visualization and imagination, this ...

Stranger in a Strange Land

Robert A. Heinlein

Ace, 1987

A Valentine of a Novel
This true classic has meaning on so many levels; it is science fiction at its best. Interlocking storylines, characters with depth, and hidden messages abound. Many interpretations are possible, equally relevant. I read this book with my roommate as an undergraduate, then again and again, often with my children. Each reading leads to deeper understanding and new discoveries and perceptions. ...

Carol Tuttle

Elton-Wolf Publishing, 2003

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!
I am repeatedly blown away by this book! It has been so helpful to me personally, and I share it with those I love. I would read certain sections, and literally, my jaw would drop. This book really put all the pieces together for me; it makes complete sense. I am only 21 and feel I am lucky, not only because my mother gave me this book, but also because I have truly understood it at a ...

John Paul the Great: Remembering a Spiritual Father

38 reviews
Peggy Noonan

Viking Adult, 2005

A beautiful and inspiring book
I thoroughly enjoy Ms Noonan's writing style and so I knew I would enjoy reading this book. What was a delightful surprise was that the book was almost like two stories in one. One was the life story of Pope John Paul II, with as many facts presented (albeit in a beautiful, lyrical style, so as never to be textbookish) as in a tome twice its size. The other story was of Ms Noonan's spiritual ...

My Favorite Cookbook
I don't live near NY, so I can just make the famous cheesecakes at home. I just tried the carrot cake and have made some of the cookies in this book and they are also excellent.

Warrior-King of Shambhala: Remembering Chogyam Trungpa

Jeremy Hayward

Wisdom Publications, 2007

Absolutely Brilliant
Most of us wonder what it would be like to live in an enlightened society. Perhaps we even yearn for that. Jeremy Hayward has written a completely absorbing narrative of his encounter with a warrior-king and the creation of an enlightened society. Perhaps if one of Arthur's knights had written such a narrative it would read like this. Highly recommended for an authentic and heartfelt ...

Remembering Laughter

Wallace Stegner

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1996

Stegner's genesis
About five years ago I stumbled onto Wallace Stegner, and I haven't been able to leave him behind. I just got around to reading _Remembering Laughter_ this past winter, mainly because it was usually not even listed among his better books; that is too bad. Stegner is one of the best American writers that hardly anybody knows, and this is probably one of his most underrated works. "Haunting" and ...

Life: Remembering Sinatra: 10 Years Later (Life (Life Books))
LIFE MAGAZINE EDITORS

Life, 2008

From Hoboken to Hollywood, Frank Sinatra was always a larger-than-life package of talent, charisma and controversy. Singers had been big before, but there had never been a sensation like the young Sinatra. He drove the women wild and lived a life of monumental drama and intrigue. He secured his status as an icon of the highest order, one of the towering figures of the American century. "Nobody's ever been a bigger star than me," Sinatra said as ...

6 reviews
James W. Heisig, Helmut Morsbach, ...

University of Hawaii Press, 2007

Wonderful if you don't take it too seriously.
I am deeply indebted with the author. I could review in 44 minutes and in 1 hour 16 minutes. Rmemmbering the Kanji is actually better, but you can gain confidence with such a tool. The unscramble page order was a great idea, you can't run the risk of writing automatically. The only humble suggest: a japanese sensei always knows better, it's his language, after all.. It's even possible that ...

The World We Used to Live in: Remembering the Powers of the Medicine Men

4 reviews
Vine Deloria

Fulcrum Publishing, 2006

Valuable Contribution to Spiritual Tradition
This book is a compilation of the accounts of disinterested and often hostile observers of the amazing and often inexplicable workings of Native American medicine men and shamans. Most of the stories are drawn from 19th century books, while some predate that era. Vine Deloria Jr., a wise and intriguing writer whose recent passing is a great loss, categorizes these accounts and discusses ...
