The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set (Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne ...181 reviews
L.M. Montgomery

Starfire, 1990

Pure delight!
The Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set is perfect! These stories take you back to a magical time and place but they are still realistic. Each book pulls you deeper and deeper into the set. My grandmother and I read this series together and both loved it. Highly recommended.
  
  











  



  
All We Ever Wanted Was Everything4 reviews
Janelle Brown

Spiegel & Grau, 2008

Gaining wit and worth on the way to "Everything"
I read Brown's book "Everything They Ever Wanted Is Everything" in a single sitting. Its completely gripping -- alternating between a quick-paced narrative that's deftly edited and hilarious social observation. Brown's subject is ambition, in this case of her three female protagonists: Margaret, a flailing feminist 'zine editor in Los Angeles, who keeps up appearances using credit card debt; ...
  
  











  



  
Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck Centennial Edition)1099 reviews
John Steinbeck

Penguin, 2002

Must read book
The book, Of Mice and Men, has to be one of the good books I've read in a long time. The good parts about it are at the start, you get to meet the characters on how they act and the way they get along. Of course, there are some bad parts in books. One of them is when one of the bunk mates picks a fight with Lennie, because he is taller than him! Of Mice and Men, Lennie Small and George Milton ...
  
  











  



  
The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey194 reviews
Candice Millard

Broadway, 2006

great vacation reading
I read this while on vacation in Florida, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The rain has been torrential. It took little imagination to see myself in a dugout with Roosevelt. A great read in any location.
  
  











  



  
East of Eden212 reviews
John Steinbeck

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003

One of the best books I've ever read
This was recommended to me by a friend because she thought I would enjoy the California scenery and history. This book totally exceeded my expectations. Steinbeck is an amazing story-teller. This novel is woven in such a complex, precise manner, with no excess details, that I marvel at his writing prowess. There is a reason it is a classic. I was bummed to come to the end of the book and I will ...
  
  











  



  
The Master Cleanser213 reviews
Stanley Burroughs

Burroughs Books, 1976

Lemon Fresh!
Interesting book. Originally published in 1976, it's short and sweet- and actually held together by two staples. Readers may also know this "master cleansing" diet and "the lemonade diet." Having said that.... What do you do? Drink 6-12 glasses a day of a concoction made up of lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water. No other foods should betaken during ther full period of ...

Kevin Trudeau

Alliance Publishing, 2007

A real life saver
Read and use Trudeau's books. I haven't found one that isn't informative, truthful, and works everytime. His cures work! I was personally already use a handful of them already, but 'thanks' for the additional new ones!!! Once you do, follow this man's career. See what else he's able to find and provide... "Hey, Kevin, find anything on natural fuels yet???" Thank you Kevin Trudeau, ...

Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and the Rise of Web 2.09 reviews
Sarah Lacy

Gotham, 2008

The web, post-Google
Sarah's book does a good job covering a portion of Silicon Valley in the post-Google era. Starting from the lineage of the early PayPal team, the author traces the personalities behind Facebook, Slide, Yelp, LinkedIn, and Digg (among others) to define the growth of the newest entrepreneurs in SF and the Valley. If you enjoy the inside stories of Valleywag, you'll enjoy the personality-focused ...

This is a handbook for the Catholic Apologetics who have taken on the call to put on the whole armor of God in Ephesians 6:10 ... in a world where the pen is mightier than the sword ... and the truth will set anyone free... this is a definitive guide on the discourse against the deceptive lies of counter-Christian theology.
  
  











  



  
The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions84 reviews

Banner of Truth, 2003

Great for Family Prayer times
I bought this book for myself but I have found that it is great for family prayer times. The prayers remind me of so many facets of my faith, my walk, and my God that I come away every time I read with a more firmly established belief in the power of God.
  
  











  



  
Kauai Trailblazer: Where to Hike, Snorkel, Bike, Paddle, Surf (64 reviews
Jerry Sprout, Janine Sprout

Diamond Valley Company, 2007

A USEFUL Guide Book!
Guess where my wife wants to take me on her summer vacation? Hint: she likes lush resorts with hiking opportunities. I've been to the other islands of Hawaii several times, but never to Kauai. I don't need the usual 50 pages of cajoling to enjoy myself that most guidebooks feature, and in this era of goooogle, I certainly don't need out-of-date hotel listings. This is a book crammed with info ...

No Worries Hawaii: A Vacation Planning Guide for Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island10 reviews
Jerry Sprout, Janine Sprout

Diamond Valley Company, 2007

A planning guide without peer
In my work at Guide to Travel Guides, we concentrate on finding excellent travel books from smaller publishers, books that travelers may not yet be familiar with. No Worries Hawaii, newly published in late 2007, is just such a book. Really a travel planning guide without peer. Its 160 pages are fabulous stuff, chocked full of helpful information and some of the loveliest color photos around. If ...
  
  











  



  
Valley of Silence (The Circle Trilogy, Book 3)104 reviews
Nora Roberts

Jove, 2006

Valley of Silence (The Circle Trilogy book #3)
I read the first two of this trilogy and just had to fallow it to the end. I'm not normally much into Vampire stories, but these stories have been great fun to read. I just had to see what would happen to that nasty Vampire Queen, the love stories involved and where each person ended up. Did they stay in the now or the past?
  
  











  



  
Managerial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making3 reviews
Jerry J. Weygandt, Donald E. Kieso, ...

Wiley, 2004

Very Practical Book,Classic
Jerry really knows how to help people learn accounting. Learning accounting is about practising but not reading. Reading helps but it won't solve problems. The one thing I really appreciate about this book is Jerry uses real life accounting practice within companies from different industries to illustrate every single chapter, within which all the accounting theories and principals naturally ...
  
  











  



  
Children of the Mind (Ender, Book 4)202 reviews
Orson Scott Card

Tor Science Fiction, 1997

Only book that has made me cry
This is the only book that has made me cry. I cried when Ender died, (although he didn't die his aiua passed on to Peter) the character of Ender died. Through the series I have gotten so attatched to his character unlike any other character in any series. Through his guilt of xenocide, and hard life it was hard to read sometimess. Especially, when he had problems with Novinha in Xenocide, ...
  
  











  



  
We Were Soldiers Once...and Young: Ia Drang - the Battle That Changed the War in Vietnam12 reviews
Harold G. Moore, Joseph L. Galloway

Presidio Press, 2004

On every Servicemember's Reading List
Battles achieve legendary status - however as modern times proceed, we don't hold the same reverence that we do to those battles from the time of Napolean to Gettysburg to Normady. This battle is on the same grounds and deserves the same reverence of how war was fought. Every military history buff and military strategist must read this account.
