The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band 355 reviews
Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, ...
HarperEntertainment, 2002
I likes!!
I am a die hard Motley Crue and Nikki Sixx fan so anything pertaining to either one I'm gonna love.. This book was awesome! I learned so much about the Band and each member that was a part of it including John Carobi who took over vocals when Vince Neil quit/or was fired from the Crue. It's honest & raw and I loved it. You get a taste of where how it all started and came together. They were so ...

War Journal: My Five Years in Iraq11 reviews
Richard Engel
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Insight into Islam
I have just finished reading this book and - WOW - what an education! Engel explains differences between Sunni and Shiite from how they communicate to how they express their religion. Honestly, this is a difficult book to read. Engel doesn't soften anything. He tells it like he saw it and sometimes it is very graphic. In his telling though, is an easy to follow chronology from 2003 to today that ...

Tim Russert
Miramax, 2005
great story by a good man
I am deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Tim Russert. Obviously I didnt know him on a personal basis, only through the media. But he made each and every one of us feel he was our best friend. I saw a man who was deeply religious, sweet, good, loving of his country and a great father, husband and friend. You could tell how important family was to him and this book only solidifies the obvious. ...

The Complete Making of Indiana Jones: The Definitive Story Behind All Four Films 8 reviews
J.W. Rinzler, Laurent Bouzereau
Del Rey, 2008
As insightful as Rinzler's "Making of Star Wars" - get it from AMAZON UK instead
I have to say that the research involved in this book was intensive. I am a pretty well-read fan of Lucas and Spielberg and I was still discovering cool snippets of information on every page.
If you need a frame of reference for the amount of love put into the writing of this book you should look at Rinzler's The Making of Star Wars, and Bouzereau's Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays. If ...

Nikki Sixx
Pocket Books, 2007
AWESOME BOOK!!!!
One of the best books I have ever read! I have never had a drug or alcohol problem, but I have been a Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue fan for 20 years. It really does let you know how people in that situation feel and what they are thinking. Definately a must have for anyone with someone with a drug problem in their family. I couldn't put it down and ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting ...

RICHES TO RAGS TO RICHES?
I loved this book. It's funny, sad and real. After seeing her TV show So NoToriUs I always thought she was hysterical and now after reading her book I'm sure of it. She is smart, honest, funny and a great person. It's a quick enjoyable read. Pick it up!

Love Barbara
I've never been a great fan of Barbara, but this book made me one. Loved her view of the past 40 years of encounters. Her determination made a difference for women.
Extremely well written; couldn't put it down.

Great gift for die hard fans!
I bought this for a friend who is a die hard fan. He loves the book and said he actually liked reading the behind the scene "tid bits" just as much if not more than reading the recipes.

The Glass Castle: A Memoir1061 reviews
Jeannette Walls
Scribner, 2006
A strange and offbeat childhood
This is not the kind of book I would normally read, but my wife recommended it so I decided to give it a try. From the moment I started, I could barely put it down.
Author Jeannette Walls gets you hooked in the first half of the book with disturbing and funny tales of her peculiar childhood. Her parents, though clearly smart in an academic sense, avoided steady work and conventional ...

Keith Olbermann
Random House, 2007
Do we need Keith?
Legal History of the Color Line: The Rise And Triumph of the One-drop Rule
YES! I haven't seen anything like Keith since British MP George Galloway gave Congress the tongue-lashing it so desperately needed. He knows how to combine important political commentary with entertainment and preach beyond the choir.

I'm reading it again!
I adored this book. It went with me everywhere when I first got it. Now that I'm done I haven't found anything I like as much as this fun, funny love-and-life story, so I'm reading it again and loving it just as much as the first time! I won't go over the plot details because you should just get this book. Sherri Rifkin, write another one so I don't wear my copy of Love Hampton out!

A Long Way from Home: Growing Up in the American Heartland in the Forties and Fifties21 reviews
Tom Brokaw
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003
Excellent book
This is an excellent and heartwarming book about growing up in South Dakota. Brokaw, easily the most intelligent, fair and personable of the network news anchors, goes into what made him what he is today -- growing up in America's heartland, the struggles of his father and mother, his life growing up, and his temporary descent into idiothood -- before pulling back and marrying his college ...

Indiana , Henry jones journal Nice collectable
Purchased two journals for two adult thirtysomething children, who are crazy for anything about the Indiana jones adventures. Both children love the photos and drawings. To make the journal look old I wrapped the journals in tea dyed chamois! They were a Hit!

Cormac Mccarthy
Vintage, 1993
Life, death, love, horses and hand rolled cigarettes
I can't believe I've waited this long to get into Cormac McCarthy. We Texans have always known him to be one of the great Texas western writers, right up there with Larry McMurtry, earning a place in our hearts. But Cormac is bigger than that. Bigger than Texas, you say? His craft has been compared to Faulkner and Conrad. We're talking about literature here.
After I saw the movie, "No ...

How to Draw Pokemon29 reviews
Tracey West
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003
Gameboy Alternative
My 5 year old loves this book. If he had his way, he would play Pokemon all day every day on his game boy. This is a nice alternative that taps his imagination and creativity. He also tries to get others to draw with him so they have a group activity that is relatively quiet, until they start describing the battles. I highly recommend for any child who already loves other Pokemon activities.
