books by David     books:       The Lords of Discipline169 reviews Pat Conroy Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 Duty, Honor, Country The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...             House to House143 reviews David Bellavia Free Press, 2007 Every "American" must read this!!!!!! After trying to understand for years even a small fraction of what is actually going on in Iraq and what happened in Fallujah, this book is a blessing. Not only is a it a great account to the things we all must know before we turn on CNN for the guide to our lives, it's also a great story in general.. It will steal you heart, if you have one. It's very easy to read and holds your attention ...             The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer168 reviews David A. Whitsett, Forrest A. Dolgener, ... McGraw-Hill, 1998 Just buy it. You'll finish your marathon. Prior to training, I had run ONE 5k race (mostly walked), and never actually ran for excercise for more than 3 miles. I began this training wanting to see how far I'd get and the next thing I know I was 15-20 pounds lighter and crossing the tape at that Dallas WhiteRock marathon in 2003 at 4:18:13. Don't get me wrong, I was in pain. It wasn't easy. But as they say, the pain is ...             Three Cups of Tea with Headphones1386 reviews Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin Playaway, 2008 Curious about the narrator This is a compelling story about Greg Mortensen's mission to promote peace. What is most interesting is that his gifts of time, energy, and devotion did not start out with the intention to promote peace but evolved as he came to know and understand the people of Pakistan and witness his own country's overt error resulting from lack of understanding. I was intrigued by the writing of the book, ...             Truman284 reviews Simon & Schuster Audio, 2001 Long, but well worth the length I was given this book as a Christmas present. I had read McCullough's 1776 and John Adams and had enjoyed them both (although I was disappointed in the brevity of 1776). Still this book (Truman) stayed on my shelf gathering dust for over six months. I was initially overwhelmed with its length and afraid to tackle it (I had failed with Vidal's Lincoln and didn't want to repeat that result). I ...             Lost Boy450 reviews David J. Pelzer Orion, 2001 This is a great follow up! I also enjoyed this book as much as A Child Called "IT". This also made me cry as much as as the first one. I could not put it down as well.             The Count of Monte Cristo (Oxford World's Classics)388 reviews Alexandre Dumas père Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.             Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain232 reviews David Buchholz Workman Publishing Company, 2002 Miracle on Paper !!!! For those of you like me, doctor after doctor, with no results this is the book for you. This is the first time I have written a review for anything I have purchased. His 1-2-3 step book is working for me. I was suffering from a continuous migraine for almost 4 months and was ready to commit my self. No doctors in my area were able to help, medicines, CT scans, MRI scans I went through a lot ...             The Book of Atrus (Myst, Book 1)197 reviews Rand Miller, Robyn Miller, ... Hyperion, 1995 Myst: The Book of Atrus It really seems only fitting that a video game about books would have a series of books published in its name. For some reason when such books were first coming out I was sort of skeptical about their quality. I truly am glad I overcame this and decided to pick up the Myst books. I was an early enough adopter to be able to get all the hardcover texts and they are all beautifully designed. ...             Mossflower298 reviews Brian Jacques Philomel, 2004 GREAT FOR ALL AGES!!!!! It is all you want in a good book.It has just the right amount of action, peril,valor,and humor. If you want a book that is good for everyone, you just found one!             The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea108 reviews Bob Burg, John David Mann Your Coach in a Box, 2008 I bought 5 more copies Upon completing this little book (that I couldn't put down) I immediately ordered 5 more copies. I knew that I had to share this message with family and friends. I continue to recommend The Go-Giver to family, friends, associates and and new acquaintances, many of which have already heard of it or even own a copy. It's a powerful message wrapped in a very human story. I truly enjoyed this book.             14 Qualities of Successful Musicians, Songwriters, and Music Business Professionals117 reviews David Hooper, David R. Hooper Kathode Ray Music, 2005 Awesome! I just got my copy of this CD and I listened to it immediatly. David Hooper, gives lots of great ideas for being successful in music and any business, or life. Some of the things he talked about re-affirmed what I had been doing, but he gave enough 'new' ideas to really kick my music career to the next level!             Smart Women Finish Rich139 reviews Rosetta, 2004 His Grandmother Taught Him Well! Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well. I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out ...             Driver #894 reviews Dale Earnhardt, Jade Gurss Warner Adult, 2002 What a good job I really enjoyed reading about his experience as a driver. It is well written and not boring. Which it could have been since it is always hard to write about work. I loved watching his father race and now I get to watch him.             John Dies at the End111 reviews David Wong Permuted Press, 2007 Simply Brilliant Book - A Must Read John Dies at the End is by far the best book I've ever purchased on a whim from Amazon. I absolutely loved it, was shocked by how much I enjoyed it, and just reveled in that special shopping glow when you are rewarded far more for a purchase than what you shelled out for it. That being said, if anyone wants to buy my copy for the price reflected on Amazon now just send me a comment because the ...             When Pride Still Mattered143 reviews Simon & Schuster, 2004 A Compelling Read I read Maraniss' Clemente book a few months ago, which was unbelievable. Looking for more I picked up this book and have yet to be disappointed.             Energy Medicine93 reviews Donna Eden, David Feinstein Tarcher, 1998 I Love Energy Medicine! I originally read this book when it came out about 10 years ago. I found it interesting, but didn't do the exercises. However, it stayed in the back of my mind, and I knew that someday I wanted to take a class from Donna. I recently had the opportunity to do so, and now I'm hooked on energy medicine. When you see Donna in person, you realize that she is her own best advertisement for what ...             The Charlie's Angels Casebook110 reviews David Hofstede, Jack Condon Pomegranate Press (CA), 2000 Complete and fun reference book This is such a fun book! Lots of rare photos of all cast members. I really enjoyed the stories and anecdotes from all the personal interviews with the different cast members. This book obviously took lots of time and effort to compile. I was won over in the first few pages where proper hommage is paid to the Angels' predecessors in female crime-fighting : Anne Francis as Honey West and Diana Rigg ...             The Book of Ti'Ana (Myst, Book 2)125 reviews Rand Miller, David Wingrove Hyperion, 1997 Another phenomenal background story for Myst Needless to say after finishing "The Book of Atrus" I had fairly high expectations for this series going forward. At the end of "The Book of Atrus" we think the story is going to continue forward from that point, but there is a major story that has not been told yet. The fall of D'ni. This tale is frequently alluded to in the game and the prior book. In fact most of the prior book is trying ...             The Brothers K117 reviews David James Duncan Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1996 Simply Outstanding Beautiful writing. Simply one of the best books by a living author that I've read. If you have interest in great writing, baseball, or Christianity, you'll enjoy the book. If you're a fan of all three, it'll be one of your favorites.              search for books brothers, business, casebook, charge, charlie, classics, cristo, discipline, driver, energy, go-giver, headache, headphones, little, marathon, mattered, medicine, mossflower, musicians, non-runner, oxford, powerful, professionals, program, qualities, runner, songwriters, successful, taking, trainer books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
