The Complete Little House Nine-Book Set (Little House)

150 reviews
Laura Ingalls Wilder

HarperTrophy, 1994

Little House boxed set
Very nice set--I purchased it for a gift and am very pleased with it :)

Oh, the Places You'll Go!

270 reviews
Dr. Seuss

William A. Thomas Braille Bookstore, 1991

Excellent Work
Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a very good graduation gift, and my traditional gift for such occasions. But in regular bookstores, the cost usually averages at $18. Now, used books are great ideas, usually about $5, but not for graduation gifts. So when these $12 per arrived in perfect NEW condition I was thrilled. Go Amazon.

A Twist of Fate

125 reviews
Robyn Williams

Lushena Books, 1999

Couldn't have said it better
There was so much that I loved about this book! I loved author's writing style. I loved the chemistry between Sam and Ashela, between Ashela and her best friend, Kyliah and how so much detail went into telling what made the characters turn out the way they were. Although it took much too long for Sam to be introduced into the story, I still thought it was worth the wait. The love scenes were ...

Out to Canaan (The Mitford Years, Book 4)

98 reviews

Penguin Audio, 1997

More Mitford mirth and miracles
Jan Karon's charming North Carolina small town belongs with the great places of fiction: Macondo, Faulkner's unspellable county, the Louisiana of James Lee Burke, Egypt, Maine, and Hillerman's New West. The sense of place is such a hallmark of this series. And she populates it with such knowable and knowing characters who linger long after the last page of each new book unwillingly, but ...

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: A Commemorative Pop-up

124 reviews
L. Frank Baum

Little Simon, 2001

Wonderful Wizard is Wonderful
I bought this book as a birthday present for my Dorothy-obsessed 3-year old and she LOVES it. I was a little worried that it would be seriously abridged when I read that it only had 16 pages, but no need to fear. Within each page is a chapter of the book so there is plenty of story. It takes almost an hour to read it to her but it is well-worth it.

The Prophet

262 reviews
Kahlil Gibran

William Heinemann Ltd, 1972

Eight Decades Later: Still Relevant, Insightful and Eloquent
These days, Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" often gets dismissed as "hippie" literature. Yet, this book had been a bestseller LONG before the 1960s. Originally published in 1923, it almost instantly became a hit and even did well through the Great Depression. Today, Gibran's claim to fame is being the third best-selling poet of our time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu... and pretty much entirely ...

SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life

Steven G. Pratt, Kathy Matthews

William Morrow, 2004

Superfoods=Superenergy!
Once I started reading this book I could not put it down! It is packed with so much information and I have been amazed at how good and alert I feel by changes I have made in my diet.I am a cancer survivor and this book is important to me to help prevent any other types of cancers or heart disease in the future. I also have heart disease in my family. I have been so impressed with this book that I ...

Last Days of Summer

146 reviews
Steve Kluger

William Morrow, 1998

I'm heartbroken
My introduction to Steve Kluger was with "Almost Like Being In Love." The format threw me for a bit, but, once used to the manner in which the author was to tell his story, I went on to enjoy this delightful story. Next came this book..."Last Days of Summer." I found the author's website and wrote him an e-mail; I was about thirty pages short of the book's end at that moment. I sent another ...

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

HCI Teens, 1997

My daugher loves this book
My daughter started reading this book at age 12, and has had it for 2 years. She still loves to go back and read selections of love, hope, courage. Give your teenager something worth reading! :)

Gentle Rogue

119 reviews
Johanna Lindsey

William A. Thomas Braille Bookstore, 1992

One of the best romance novels ever.
I've read a number of books by J. Lindsey and my two favorites are this book and "A Loving Scoundrel." Both of them have a girl dressed as and pretending to be a boy. I loved the characters. Good plot. Good writing. Great fun CAUTION SPOILERS: Georgina was dressed as a boy and thought the captain (James) believed she was a boy. James knew she was really a girl but pretended he didn't ...

BRS Physiology (Board Review Series)

67 reviews
Linda S Costanzo

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Best title in the series!
I think this is the best BRS there is. I used this book for course exam prep as well as board review. It is a great tool to highlight important concepts, and it explains things in a simple and effective way with the right amount of information.

Pendragon Book Six: The Rivers of Zadaa (Pendragon)

71 reviews
D. J. MacHale, William Dufris, 2005

Read this book!
What can I say? I've read all the Pendragon books and I love them all. But this book is my favorite. I love Saangi's cocky attitude and Loor's jokes. To me there is no competition, this is my favorite book.

The Animator's Survival Kit

95 reviews
Richard Williams

Faber & Faber, 2002

An indispensable reference
This a must-purchase for the starting animator. I read The Illusion of Life first, which was a lot of words and theory but fewer walk-throughs (though you should buy that, too!). Get it, you won't be disappointed.

Journey through Genius: Great Theorems of Mathematics

68 reviews
William Dunham

Wiley, 1990

Just what I've been looking for!
First things first: You have to really like maths to appreciate this book. If you have ever wondered how to prove Pythagoras' theorem geometrically, or would like to find out how Archimedes estimated pi, this is the book for you. If not, buy another. The book has a good mix of stories, explanations and mathematical proofs. It actually answered questions I have been wondering about for a long ...

Magic the Gathering: Arena Vol. 1

72 reviews
William R. Forstchen, (none)

HarperEntertainment, 1994

Still a Favorite..A decade later
I read this book when it first came out. And still to this day I remember it being a great read and I just recently purchased it again and re-lived the experience. This is one of my 10 ten favorite books.

Berkley Hardcover, 2007

Great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOUSY SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The book was great. I ordered it for my Dad's 87th Birthday, he's a WWII vet that was at the Battle of Bastonge With General Patton, so I wanted him to read about some of the 101st airborne he met there...well I ordered it with 2nd day air shipping, I got it almost 3 weeks later!!!!! So much for my Dad's birthday present...Thanks for making an old soldier feel wanted!!!!!! It took 4 contacts for ...

Of the Imitatation of Christ

72 reviews
Thomas A. Kempis

Keats Publishing, 1993

The treasure
Why claim trinkets when you can read one of the best devotionals on the market. I use it to keep my daily life in check, to remember to have the right focus and to live what I believe. This is the top of the charts for a "Christian" work. Brother A'Kempis was a great instructor and a wise disciple. So much of todays mediocre fluff is twisted by society, self centeredness and lazy Christianity ...

Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series)

73 reviews
Joseph W. Glannon

Aspen Law & Business Publishers, 2001

Buy It
I recently finished my first year at a top tier law school. This book did so much for me. If you are serious about getting good grades in CivPro, I think you should seriously consider this book. It forces you to understand the concepts and work through the rules, which is vital to doing well on exams. Don't stress about exams. This will help you.

The glory of their times

71 reviews
Lawrence S Ritter

William Morrow & Co. Inc, 1966

Baseball's Old Testament
Statistically, baseball back then couldn't be more at variance with the game now. Cy Young threw 511 career victories, and 750 complete games. In 1909, Ty Cobb led the majors both in batting average (.377) and home runs (9). Cobb's teammate Sam Crawford hit over 300 triples in his career. What to make of such numbers? Lawrence S. Ritter's "The Glory Of Their Times" strips away the statistical ...

Desiree

63 reviews
Annemarie Selinko

William Morrow & Co, 1953

A completely charming Desiree's life story, from spurned fiance of Napoleon to Queen of two countries
I'm a certified anglophile, when it comes to history. This is probably because I am one-half Angelo Celtic and so the history I read about when I read about England, Scotland and Ireland, is in some sense my own. It is a basic human urge to understand where we come from after all. Anyway, this is my way of saying I don't "get" France. I can't speak French (and so in books when there's some French ...
