It is brilliantly written, very funny, and thought provoking. I highly recommend it!             My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands220 reviews Chelsea Handler Bloomsbury USA, 2005 My Horizontal life I absolutely loved this book!!! Its an easy and extremely funny read!! Some of her stories kept me laughing for days!!!So if your looking for a good laugh I would definetely reccommend this book!!!             The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals445 reviews Michael Pollan Penguin, 2007 Calling all Corn People - READ THIS BOOK! I read this book a little while ago and didn't have time to review it, but the essential messages keep popping into my consciousness as I go about my day-to-day life. Before reading this book, for example, I had never realized that Corn has cunningly taken over the world and turned us all into "Corn People." Pollan's simple plan - to make three meals - turns into an exploration of all things ...             The Glass Castle: A Memoir1097 reviews Jeannette Walls Scribner, 2006 Fantastic brave memoir of a life of abuse The Glass Castle by Jeannette Wall is the type of book that makes you want to give your parents a hug and thank them for being such wonderful parents, no matter how bad they were. Wall was raised by free spirits who want their children to become toughened by life and believe firmly in survival of the fittest. Her mother wants to be an artist and not to be bothered by the inconvenience of feeding ...             The Last Lecture558 reviews Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow Hyperion, 2008 Excellent condition & delivery! The whole experience with this seller was outstanding. The book was great, though I guess I wished it had the text of Randy Pausch's lecture. It was delivered in fine condition, and at the time promised.             Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)296 reviews Barbara Kingsolver, Camille Kingsolver, ... Harper Perennial, 2008 Eat me! Barbara Kingsolver's lyric prose is so fun to read, and it's good for you too! It's heartening to see the locavore movement get such attention on a national scale. Maybe American food culture isn't doomed after all. The inserts from her family are entertaining, but sometimes awkwardly placed. I can't wait to lend this out to my friends.             sTORI Telling199 reviews Tori Spelling Simon Spotlight, 2008 1st Book I ever bought... I gotta say that I'm not much of a reader, I read text books for school, the newspaper and magazine, but a book NEVER. But I started watching the 2nd season of Tori and Dean, no soNotorious or Tori and Dean Inn In Love. I don't know but I really enjoyed their relationship, how they spend time with baby Liam and how Dean kinda bends to Tori's every little wish, but I can truly see that they are in ...             Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea193 reviews Chelsea Handler Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008 Chelsea Handler's book review This book was just as good if not better than Chelsea's first book. I absolutely love reading her material and look forward to watching her show all the time! Her humor is often what helps me stomach this crazy life. It's nice to know there are people out there with lives crazier than mine that are actually experiencing success from such absurd experiences. I love Chelsea and hope she ...             Mike's Election Guide 200822 reviews Michael Moore Grand Central Publishing, 2008 Delightful Unlike many reviewers here I have purchased the book AND read it in order to post a review. It was delightful. I encourage any and all to buy it, enjoy it, share it.             Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything1559 reviews Stephen J. Dubner William Morrow, 2006 Freakonomics This is the most fascinating book I have read this year. I could not resist sending copies to my friends and relatives             The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer614 reviews Harvey Karp Bantam, 2003 Great book for newborns I bought this book with a bunch of other books, I'm due in two months so I haven't actually tried any of Dr. Karps techniques but the book was super easy to read, and had some really interesting techniques that I'm dying to try now! :-) I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, especially for first time parents.             Animal Farm1153 reviews George Orwell Nick Hern Books, 2004 Think the thought to the end. So Communism is bad because it becomes, in the end, like Capitalism. What destroyed Communism in Europe? Lech Walensa and the trade union Solidarity. Why won't Communism in China come to an end? Because capitalist companies like Walmart won't support unionization in China. Chinese communism survives in China because of support from American companies; alone it would tumble to despair. The rich ...             Too Fat to Fish Artie Lange, Anthony Bozza Spiegel & Grau, 2008 When good-for-little stand-up comic Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was nothing short of a renaissance in the Stern universe. The Stern juggernaut has never slowed since its 80s heyday, but Lange provided what Stern had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep pace with his own, a pathetic self-image to dwarf his own, a personal history both heartbreaking and hilarious, and an ...             Big Russ and Me: Father and Son: Lessons of Life132 reviews Tim Russert Miramax, 2005 Big Russ & Me It was a challenge getting it...delivery glitches...but it is here and all I had hoped it would be...thank you...             Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip--Confessions of a Cynical Waiter108 reviews The Waiter Ecco, 2008 The Reader /Customer Rant: Double the Gratuity!! Some estimate that there are now only 16 people left in the USA who do not have a blog. Add to the blogosphere The (anonymous) Waiter, who vents about different species of objectionable customers, bosses and co-workers. The blogging waiter has weaved his postings into a coherent book in WAITER RANT. The book crackles with humor, insight and - ultimately - pathos. The Waiter can not only ...             Goodnight Bush: A Parody43 reviews Gan Golan, Erich Origen Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Amazingly Well Done Okay, so your politics probably need to lean in this direction for you to be able to appreciate this one. Having said that, this book is a very clever poignant critique of the last seven years. What really impressed me is how well done it was. I actually purchased the original Goodnight Moon as well and read (looked at) them side by side. Much like Goodnight Moon, the subtle embedding of ...             I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell264 reviews Tucker Max Citadel Press, 2006 Hilarious! This book was entirely too funny! Reminds me of too many guys I knew when I was younger, but the stories! Sometimes I wonder if this could actually happen to a person- then I realize that I had my own stories.... Definitely a good read!             Batman: The Killing Joke161 reviews Alan Moore, Brian Bolland DC Comics, 2008 The Joke's on Me Amazon recently recommended that I purchase The Killing Joke based on my new addiction to comic books and graphic novels. (I've also only recently gotten into video games and other things that I think that I was supposed to start liking a long long time ago...Can you say: "mid-life crisis?" Anyway, how timely I thought, of this Killing Joke recommendation by Amazon....A "new" Batman versus ...             Slaughterhouse-Five697 reviews Kurt Vonnegut Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1999 Essential Vonnegut, still relevant today... I don't care who you are, you absolutely need to read this book. It's justly considered a classic. The thing about it is that it isn't really a "humor book" like some of Vonnegut's other, justly famous works (Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater). Parts of it are funny - I especially like the segments with the bitter Kilgore Trout, a sci-fi author reputed to be one ...              search for books chelsea, collection, confessions, cynical, dilemma, economist, election, engulfed, everything, expanded, explores, freakonomics, goodnight, happiest, history, horizontal, indonesia, killing, lecture, lessons, miracle, natural, newborn, omnivore, one-night, revised, slaughterhouse, slaughterhouse-five, telling, vegetable books:    randomly chosen kitchen: 37" High Floor Sign with Multi-Lingual "Caution" Imprint, 4-Sided, Yellow home  impressum - about us
