My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon

15 reviews
Bart Yasso, Kathleen Parrish

Rodale Books, 2008

Laugh Out Loud!
Bart's book is absolutely hilarious and inspiring. His stories are witty and humorous. I was laughing out loud at the Taco Bell story, the cross country bike story, and the bare buns run! Great read, I couldn't put it down. Bart is a legend.

Hit and Run (John Keller Mysteries)

29 reviews
Lawrence Block

William Morrow, 2008

Well worth reading.
Readers of the Keller series typically ask themselves what it is about the stamp collecting hit man that makes him so appealing; we want him to win. On the surface I suppose we are attracted by the adventure. Imagine you have suddenly lost everything: assets, home, family and friends, and had to go on the run. Then imagine that on top of that, you are the most wanted person in America and the ...

Attention women runners (and nonrunners)!
This book is great for getting you off the couch and out into the running world! The author includes her own personal stories of her running adventures and makes you feel like you can do anything. And best of all, it's written by a woman for women: young and old, fat and skinny, runners and non-runners alike. I started with the beginning running program and I can already run 5 minutes at a time! ...

EXCELLENT book on how to train for 10K to Marathon distance. Really Works!

Run: A Novel (P.S.)

Ann Patchett

Harper Perennial, 2008

Family Stories
Ann Patchett is a wondrous writer, capable of small miracles of grace that come seemingly from nowhere, illuminating her characters and bringing joy to the reader. Even though RUN, her latest novel, may have flaws, how can I give it less than five stars for the joy it gave me throughout? The joy that kept me reading from one magic moment to the next. The joy, even more, that would make me put the ...

Rev. Run, Justine Simmons, ...

An icon of hip-hop, a father of six, and an ordained minister, Rev Run has developed a parenting style that is in a class by itself.

Development Across the Life Span (5th Edition) (MyDevelopmentLab Series)

6 reviews
Robert S. Feldman

Prentice Hall, 2007

Concise with current views on life development psychology.
I used this book in our Life Development Psychology. In the course of my study, everything I needed to know is in the book. Feldman is very thorough and organized. I have read other books on this subject in our library but by far this is a superior book. This book deserves 5 stars.

The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College, 2nd Edition

31 reviews
Harlan Cohen

Sourcebooks, Inc., 2007

Harlan Cohen understands this generation.
When I bought this book I didn't pay attention to who the author was. I guess the title was what caught my eye first! I have been a fan of Harlan Cohen's newspaper column and find his advice to be spot on. The book is so full of good advice, and while much of it is focused on college life, there is a lot of useful information for any young adult moving out on their own. For example, ...

I couldn't put this one down!

When the Rivers Run Dry: Water--The Defining Crisis of the Twenty-first Century

26 reviews
Fred Pearce

Beacon Press, 2007

Lots of Detail
He makes his point over and over and over again. I had to read this for a class, and the running joke we had was that he could have got his point across in 75 pages and saved alot of water from not having to print as many pages. Overall, this is a really good book, its nearly impossible to counter his argument due to the enormous amounts of facts he has from traveling the globe.

Shoot Him If He Runs (Stone Barrington Novels)

Stuart Woods

Signet, 2008

Shoot Him If He Runs
As always pure Stuart Woods and Stone Barrington. Actually as you get in to the book the title makes perfect sense. With a villian like this what else could you do but SHOOT HIM!

A River Runs through It and Other Stories, Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition

118 reviews
Norman Maclean

University Of Chicago Press, 2001

One quote sticks out...
One passage amoungst many sticks out from this book that is full of wisdom if you take the time to read closely and relate it to the many aspects of your life and the lives of others: He thought back on what had happened like a reporter. He started to answer, shook his head when he found he was wrong, and then started to answer. "All there is to thinking," he said, "is seeing something ...

The Fashion Designer Survival Guide, Revised and Expanded Edition: Start and Run Your Own Fashion Business

3 reviews
Mary Gehlhar, Diane Von Furstenberg

Kaplan Publishing, 2008

Bible of fashion design business!
I've read a few books on how to start and run your own fashion design business, and this is one of the best ones I've read so far. Not only is it shorter then a lot of the huge books, but it's too the point and Mary writes in a style that is very easy to understand. She gives great advise and there are good examples and pictures in the book to help you further understand how to do things the best ...

The Beginning Runner's Handbook: The Proven 13-Week Walk-Run Program

54 reviews
The Sports Medicine Council British Columbia

Greystone Books, 2005

Very worthwhile book
Before I started reading this, I was a slug - never exercised and was 70 lbs. overweight. I started a weight loss program and was walking religiously, but found that I became used to the intensity so I needed something more. My daughter recommended this book as a way to "learn" running and I've been following it ever since. I've now lost 54 pounds and am about 25% through the program. My goal is ...

Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide

32 reviews
Peter Allison

The Lyons Press, 2007

Oh, I wish I were there again!
Allison's description of life as a safari guide and his interaction with beast and man will put a smile on your face. While most of the book showcases Allison's sense of humor, I also enjoyed the chapters which showed his heart. His ability to poke fun at himself and others in good-humored fashion left me hoping that he will continue to share his journey in a sequel. As the owner of a travel ...

Scott E. Spradlin

New Harbinger Publications, 2003

RELIEF
This book is a joy to read. It offers (in simple to understand language) an understanding of your emotions and many tools on how to handle them. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially if you grew up in a family where your parents had emotional problems and were not able to offer you guidance or validation of your emotions while growing up. It's a great treasure.....tb

Lore of Running

Timothy D. Noakes

Human Kinetics Publishers, 2002

Phenomenal book on running, best I've come across.
I have been reading about running for the past couple of years--probably more than I ought to. I came upon this book recently in the library (most of my reading is online!) and upon poring through its pages have realized that a lot of what I've read either came from this book, or this book has a lot of what I've read in it. Noakes has written this tome relying upon the best science we have for ...

Stocks for the Long Run, 4th Edition

5 reviews
Jeremy J. Siegel

McGraw-Hill, 2007

Excellent Investment Guide
This is much improved from the first and second editions. (I didn't read the third edition and may not have read all of the second.) The book contains a lot of useful information, presented, for the most part, clearly, and Siegel's commentary on the factual material he has compiled incorporates up to date research. The book can be read as a (slightly to moderately advanced) investment guide ...
