Bantam, 1983

Fantastic
This is an incredible little book. The only criticism is that it is written in masculine terms and I didn't want to be repeating three times a day that I am a wonderful salesman! So I typed it up myself with language appropriate to my gender. In so saying, I believe that exercise gels the scrolls in my consciousness even more so I have given it 5 stars anyway. Make sure you do the ...

Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson

Mitch Albom

Broadway, 2002

A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...

Jim Rogers

Random House, 2007

This book will make you money
Anytime someone makes you a lot of money, you tend to become a fan. And so I am a fan of Jim Rogers. I believe this man makes a lot of sense when he talks economics. I learned this by reading his earlier books about driving around the world. He admits to being a lousy trader. But he is great at looking at the big picture and investing according. He made me money with an earlier book, Hot ...

I could peruse this latest book by Dr. Mardy for hours and never tire of it. As a writer who enjoys quotations of all sorts I have long been a big fan of Dr. Mardy Grothe's weekly column.

So long Bartlett's, ...

WaterBrook Press, 2008

Surprisingly good, Wonderful introductions, great inspiration for any heart
The Greatest Words Ever Spoken is a remarkable book! At first blush, it appears to be a Topical Bible, but it is so much more. First of all, these are the words of Jesus on a myriad of topics: Anger, Security, Money, Mercy, Truth, Fear, Compassion, Conflict, Murder, Reconciliation, Adultery, Lust, The Soul, Women, The Family, Unrighteous Leaders, Parents, Foolishness, The Worth of an Individual, ...

How to Get Rich: One of the World's Greatest Entrepreneurs Shares His Secrets

39 reviews
Felix Dennis

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

Excellent
Felix Dennis is unique in that he does not necessarily fit the any stereotypical mold for a borderline billionaire. He is obviously a great writer in addition to owning a grip of publications. I enjoyed how he related his desires to sing as a musician when he was younger(his story about John Lennon telling him he had no original voice)... etc. He makes an effort to show an objective unbiased ...

critically needed information
We gave this book to our daughter on her graduation from Army basic training. My husband and I both had careers in the Navy, and, while in active duty service, I was always aware of the huge reality gap between what gets reported in the news, and what really happens in the arena. If you REALLY want to know what is going on in Iraq, READ THIS BOOK!

The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century

Edward Dolnick

Harper, 2008

Short course in psychology, art and forgery
Not having read Edward Dolnick's previous book, "The Rescue Artist", I did not come to read "The Forger's Spell" with primed expectations. Mr. Dolnick succeeds in what many writers on this subject fail to do by showing and not telling the finer points of his subject. Far from being pedantic, the author's storyteller's style draws the reader into the world of art connaisseurship,forgers and dupes ...

Couldn't stop laughing...
Chuck Norris can make a woman orgasm by pointing at her and yelling "BOOYAH!" Hilarious, easy reading, sometimes over the top, but that doesn't bother me. Very nice illustrations.
