Doga: Yoga for Dogs 9 reviews Jennifer Brilliant, William Berloni, 2003
Interesting viewpoint
+ Delightful Book.
Dogs actually do breath correctly, humans don't unless taught. Dogs stretch when they sense the need, humans don't unless taught. Dogs are amazing to watch, there are many things innate to dogs (and most animals), that humans don't do, but probably should.

Soft Skull Press, 2006
MsFrisby, you missed the point
+ Coming of age don't come any harder
As this book's editor, I'm hardly objective. That said, I'm also a reader and my opinion of the review below is that MsFrisby missed the point. Manstealing for Fat Girls has sex, drinking and drugs in it. So do most kids lives these days. Whether they do or don't engage in any of the above, ...

Letterati: An Unauthorized Look at Scrabble and the People Who Play It 1 review Paul McCarthy
Ecw Press, 2008
My View of Letterati
I read Letterati from the viewpoint of someone whose hobby is Scrabble. It is a wonderful history of how Scrabble developed from a family game to tournament play and the players who caused that to happen.
Scrabble is a relatively recent game dating from the 1930's. It became popular after WWII ...

How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Library Edition 1 review Daniel H. Wilson
Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006
Sometimes funny, sometimes scientific but always enjoyable!
This book is written as a field manual to prepare the un-aware public for the approaching scourge of the Robot Revolution! Not as much fun to read as the Zombie Survival Guide, but every bit as important, Humans Unite!
