The Birth Book: Everything You Need to Know to Have a Safe and Satisfying Birth (Sears Parenting Library) 132 reviews William Sears, Martha Sears
Little, Brown and Company, 1994
a Must Read
+ Excellent Information - a little biased
I read several books throughout my first pregnancy, and found this one to be the most informative. There is a chapter on relaxation during the labor process (how to focus on keeping your muscles relaxed during contractions so your uterus doesn't have to fight against them) that I found to be VERY ...

The Amateur Marriage: A Novel 190 reviews Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books, 2004
A highly imperfect union
+ Lives In Time + ONE OF THE BETTER BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ
You can easily imagine that Tyler's first title was "Immature Marriage" but being a wordsmith, the more interesting title (and concept)emerged. (Amateur is a word from the Latin, which means "to love.") And, the umbrella question of the whole book is whether this is love... is it passion, is it ...

Dont Know Much About History 157 reviews Kenneth C. Davis
Books On Tape, 2000
"Don't Know Much About.." Series is Excellent!
I've read all of the books in the "Don't Know Much About.." series. If you're interested in getting a rather thorough overview without becoming an expert, these books are for you. They are so easy to read, that I couldn't but them down.

Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-gazer: A Novel (P.S.) 241 reviews Sena Jeter Naslund
Harper Perennial, 2005
Modernity Amidst History: Or, Please Lord Not Again
+ a bit too long, but a beautiful book nontheless
This book was a gorgeously written, lyrical saga, no doubt. However, I was extremely disappointed by this book. All of the major characters aren't products of their time, but in spite of their time. Men and women from every walk of life, educated or uneducated, are extremely liberal and ...

Magic Words at Work: Powerful Phrases to Help You Conquer the Working World 1 review Howard Kaminsky, Alexandra Penney
Broadway, 2004
Far from magical. Boring indeed.
It's like one of those bad servings of "Chicken soup for the soul". The writing is dull. The stories are boring. The phrases which tied up each story are not remarkable, and definitely not magical. Forgive my harsh criticism. Take it as my sincere effort to have your money and time saved.

On Being Born and Other Difficulties F. Gonzalez-Crussi
Overlook TP, 2005

With a pathologist's trained eye for observation of detail and a style unrivaled in elegance and wit, F. Gonzalez-Crussi, author of The Five Senses, reflects on the largest of topics, those in which science, religion, and philosophy brush most closely together, such as the origin of ...

The Last Time They Met: A Novel 453 reviews Anita Shreve
Back Bay Books, 2002
Ouch. That unbearable foreknowledge of loss...
+ Anita Shreve Fans Certain to Enjoy
Another Anita Shreve's hit, sober, heart-wrenching and full of texture. I had no idea it had a connection to one of her previous books, "The Weight Of Water", which I read years ago (and liked very much). It connects us with one smaller character in that book, Linda, but it is not necessary to ...
