What is it with parents who don't parent? ...             The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life178 reviews Laurie Notaro Villard, 2002 Way too funny! + What a scream + Snort-out-loud fun + I must have all her books... + grab everything Notaro's ever written!             A Not Entirely Benign Procedure: Four Years As A Medical Student10 reviews Perri Klass Plume, 1994 Perfect for Pre-Meds + Scary and Wonderful + Worth your time + Fascinating book             Warriors Don't Cry: A Searing Memoir of the Battle to Integrate Little Rock's Central High122 reviews Melba Pattillo Beals Washington Square Press, 1995 Well-Written Must Read! + Shadows of Darkness Past + A Great Read! + True Warriors + Warriors Don't Cry (HTMMA-Thethethe's)             Up the Down Staircase24 reviews Bel Kaufman Harper Perennial, 1991 Kids are still the same + Must have for teachers. + Great book + reading, writing and so much more + I think that this book will be very enjoyable...             Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Book 1)55 reviews Julie Kenner Jove, 2006 I can really identify... well kinda! + Who said demon hunting couldn't be funny?

Staub W. W. Norton, 2005 AWESOME read -- for men AND women! I actually sought out writing a review on this book -- something I rarely do. I picked this book up one day and barely was able to put it down. It is gripping and honest, and it helped me to get a better idea about the war and our soldiers' experience and that of civilians as well. My husband is ...             White Coat: Becoming A Doctor At Harvard Medical School33 reviews Ellen L. Rothman, Ellen Rothman Harper Paperbacks, 2000 This book led me to where I am now + INTERESTING, FRUSTRATING + Very inspiring After reading about her experiences, I made my decision to go into the field of medicine (as opposed to nursing or PA).
