Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief 28 reviews Bill Mason, Lee Gruenfeld
Villard, 2004
An inside look
It's rare to get a look inside the mind of a successful solo operator like this guy. It's well written and engaging. Maybe it's not 100% true; I wasn't there so I can't say. But it certainly has the ring of truth, and even if it's all fake it's still a fun read.

Shoot Out 1 review Peter Bart, peter guber
Perigee Trade, 2003
A Very Interesting Hollywood Book
I enjoyed reading "Shoot Out". It is filled with behind the scenes stories of how movies were made. This is really how the business of movies really happens. If you are learning to be an actor or a director or screenwriter, and want to know what happens when you hit "the big time" - this book will ...

Seven Up (Stephanie Plum, No. 7) 290 reviews Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 2001
The reader doesn't measure up!
+ A Story We Have Been Waiting For
I've listened to the first six Stephanie Plum books and absolutely loved the reader and laughed out loud while listening. Unfortunately, the reader for this book is just horrid, not a speck of the same characters in the voice as in the first six books. I hope this reader, Tanya Eby doesn't do ...

The Psychology of Computer Programming: Silver Anniversary Edition 15 reviews Gerald M. Weinberg
Dorset House, 1998
You write the program and the program writes you
+ One of the key books on the people side of software
I don't think you can actually "review" a book like this one. It's like reviewing Dostoevsky.
Sufficient is to say that this book is still highly relevant after 35 years, which is beyond any possible comparison. In fact, it doesn't bug you the least that the author speaks about new languages ...

Obscure Gem
+ Good, but don't start here: Bukowski reflects on his brief stint in the film industry.... + Pulls No Punches
If you never heard of the crude, hard drinking American author, this is where to start and/or end. This is Bukowski at his finest. Good reading around "Oscar" time.................
