Permission Marketing : Turning Strangers Into Friends And Friends Into Customers 129 reviews
Seth Godin
Simon & Schuster, 1999
Somewhat dated, but certainly an excellent read
Having been published in 1999, the book itself is a little dated. Despite that, this is a must read for anyone in the marketing business. The notion of permission marketing, especially in the context of the internet, is tremendously powerful.
I think a few reviewers have referenced it, but I think for companies looking to adopt Seth Godin's approach, the highest hurdle is the investment ...

Strangers in Death (In Death) 54 reviews
J.D. Robb
Putnam Adult, 2008
As Good As Always
It might not always be a compliment to say that a book is predictable, but this 26th outing in the Eve Dallas series is predictably terrific, just like all the rest. As always, once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down again until I was finished.
In this fast-paced entry, Eve is investigating the very kinky strangulation death of a high-powered executive. The sordid details of his death make ...

Your Body Belongs to You19 reviews
Cornelia Maude Spelman
Albert Whitman & Company, 2000
Protect your small children with this book
I bought two of these little books so my children could read them to their preschool kids. It gives even preliterate children the ability to talk about things that might happen to them, despite our best efforts to protect them. If they know how to talk about improper touching, we can intervene much quicker. Besides, kids like it when we read to them.

The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers (First Time Books(R))41 reviews
Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1985
Stranger Danger.....
Effective book for young children. My daughter is just like the sister bear character, so I think she's been able to relate to her character and not be too scared of people she doesn't know. I would definately recommend this book for parents of 4-5 year olds. For a younger child, "Your Body Belongs to You" by Cornelia Spelman, it's easier for them to understand I think. Berenstain Bears is a ...

Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories25 reviews
Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2005
Guilt & Redemption
Reading Chuck Palahniuk's collection of oddball 'strange-but-true' stories, articles written for various magazines about twisted people and their twisted little hobbies, is like watching "America's Most Terrifying Videos" or reading "Ripley's Believe It or Not." You feel guilty for enjoying the freak show... but not enough to stop reading. The book isn't that thick, and there are 23 chapters so ...

I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away217 reviews
Bill Bryson
Broadway, 2000
a hilarious account on coming back to the native land
With "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" Bill Bryson proved to me that I was wrong thinking that "A Walk in the Woods" was unsurpassable. This collection of essays about the United States of America and the lifestyle and often puzzling habits of its inhabitants is a true gem. Now, I might be biased, because I found a lot of my own experience as a foreigner living in America very similar and therefore ...

Wayside School Boxed Set: Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, Wayside School is Falling Down, Sideway ...43 reviews
Louis Sachar
HarperTrophy, 1996
Sideways fun for low level teenagers
I am a teacher of 7th to 11th graders who preform below the "standard" grade level expectations. They find these books comical, and I find them educational. They laugh at appropriate jokes and understand the allusions. Sachar not only uses allusions but alliterations, simile, metaphor, and a plethora of other literary devices that are easy enough for students to hear and read. I would normally ...

The Stranger Beside Me (Revised and Updated): 20th Anniversary171 reviews
Ann Rule
Signet, 2001
The Stranger Beside Me....made me call ADT to have an alarm installed!
So I am a bit of an alarmist, but honestly, Ann Rule's account of her friendship with Ted Bundy is riveting. Perhaps that word is overused, but it is entirely accurate to describe this story. Even if true crime is not your first literally passion, give this book a chance. Rule is magnificent.

Dinner With a Perfect Stranger
I have the honor of keeping up with college students and military in our church. Our pastor recommended this book and loaned me his own copy to read. It was easy reading and so interesting that I purchased 10 copies to send to my college students along with their Easter package. From choosing the nicest restaurant (wouldn't he want the best for his followers?) to giving good advice to his guest ...

Eric Jerome Dickey
Dutton Adult, 2007
Gideon is the MAN!!
I truly loved this series! I really didn't have much interest in this glaring deviation from EJD's usual subject matter when it first came out - but boy, was I wrong!! I did the audiobook for this one and the narrator's excellent and multi-faceted presentation of the material is what made a good book a great book, in my opinion. His narration style effectively communicates and maintains the ...

Katrina Kittle
Harper Perennial, 2007
Captivating
It is hard to explain exactly why, but from the moment I started reading this book, I immediately felt like I had an understanding of the characters and their past histories. Kittle creates characters that are so easy to imagine in your mind that you feel as though you are peering into the Ladens' house from a window, watching the story unfold. I really enjoyed how the author tied up many of ...

The story kept me riveted-and turning the pages
After meeting Tempest in the first book, At The Edge, we've come to expect what she is like. Honestly, we get a whole different view of her in this book. It all begins with her playing a cat burglar-and gets more and more intense. Marcus, a one night stand, has set up an intricate plot to get Tempest to help him figure out who killed his parents years ago. Once Tempest begins delving into ...

Great Book
This is a great book. When I wanted to learn about computer coloring back in '95, I had the pleasure of corresponding with or talking directly to two influential individuals in the industry. The first was Brandon Petterson and the second was Brian Miller. After finding out that he was from my neck of the woods (the midwest-St. Louis to be exact), we had a very pleasant conversation at Wizard ...
