As punishment to a writer, a power curses him with an endless flow of ideas which he can neither control nor even pause to write (the two that I remember were about a "were-goldfish" and a man who inherits a library card to the great library at Alexandria). What stood out was how each of the ideas was intriguing as it was ...             Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK (Beginning)1 review Dave Mark, Jeff LaMarche Apress, 2008 Best computer language book I have ever read...period. Beginning iPhone Development is without a doubt the easiest to read computer language book I've ever read and I've read a lot. I am absolutely flying through the chapters and understand every line of code, mostly due to the style of writing. This book, even in the beginning chapters, not only verified the things I had to learn on my own with the iPhone SDK early on, but gave me the theory and ...             So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore65 reviews Jake Colsen, Wayne Jacobsen, ... Windblown Media, 2006 A must read I have found this book to be an answer to the confusion and discouragement many people feel about their church experience. The book helped me put the emphasis of my faith back in proper alignment: on the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God, which are always relevant in any age, any situation. I recommend this book very highly to anyone.             The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family451 reviews Dave Pelzer HCI, 1997 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.             A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive1929 reviews Dave Pelzer HCI, 1995 ABUSED CHILDREN I can tell you that from personal experience with my own son due to his father: That both Fireman's and Law Enforcement Families are some of the worst out there. The legal system allows them to get away with this kind of behavior by siding with them. Protective services fails these children most of the time by leaving them with the abusive parent or family. God help the children.             The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness389 reviews Dave Ramsey Thomas Nelson, 2007 Finally the answer! - Simplistically! This is a great book on financial fitness for those struggling in the money area - but also emcompasses some great ideas for those of us who thought we were relatively fiscally fit and smart about money. Everyone will learn something - Great read - great book - apply the principals and we won't have the economic issues we have in the US today!             What Is the What (Vintage)166 reviews Dave Eggers Vintage, 2007 What was the What? Valentino Achak Deng's story alone would have been enough to win my approval of this fine piece of literature. Although What is the What by Dave Eggers was officially published as a novel, it is the true survival story of a Sudanese boy and his eventual transition to American culture. This is the type of book that can make you laugh and cry. Although it is a tragic story, Eggers includes ...             SHIFT: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times (PAPERBACK) (Millionaire Real Estate)36 reviews Gary Keller, Dave Jenks, ... McGraw-Hill, 2008 Very well thought out This is a very well done book. It outlines shifting your thinking and shifting your business model to take advantage of changes in the marketplace. There is a section on short sales and foreclosures. Overall, a very good book.             Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition)73 reviews Grant Morrison DC Comics, 2005 The Dark Knightmare "I see now the virtue in madness" begins Amadeus Arkham, locked in his own family home which he spent his life converting into a home for the mentally deranged only to later descend into madness himself. "I pity the poor shades confined to the Euclidean prison that is sanity. All things are possible here and I am what madness has made me. Whole. And complete. And free at last..." "Arkham ...             Watchmen613 reviews Alan Moore DC Comics, 1995 Not what I imagined at all. I will be honest and say here that I read this graphic novel because of the upcoming movie and sudden hype. I can almost hear the old-school fans cursing me right now. So I read this, and I truly, absolutely enjoyed. I remembered reading something about the ending and the general, uh, emotion it brings, but it still wasn't what I expected at all. The ending was a total shock, and I'm amazed at ...             On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society162 reviews Dave Grossman Back Bay Books, 1996 An eye opening read Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's On Killing is a phenominal work. It serves to blatantly scrutinize one of our society's biggest blind spots and social taboos: killing. Everything our society thinks it knows about wartime combat is fundamentally flawed; our conception of the righteous (or less so) soldier wading through battle without thought of the lives he takes is a lie. One of the most interesting ...             Swan Peak: A Dave Robicheaux Novel67 reviews James Lee Burke Simon & Schuster, 2008 great buy this book was a great bargain considering it just came out for a much higher price in the chain stores. it arrived on time and in excellent condition.             48 Days to the Work You Love121 reviews Dan Miller B&H Publishing Group, 2007 48 Days to the Work You Love This book is very encouraging and incredibly helpful for anyone beginning their career search or for older workers looking to change jobs or being forced to look for new employment. I have purchased more than one of these books to share with young people after reading it myself when I was looking at a midlife career change. I would recommend this as a graduation gift or a great holiday gift for ...             Financial Peace Revisited69 reviews Dave Ramsey Viking Adult, 2003 You'll never regret getting your finances in order I took the Financial Peace University class and received this book along with the class materials. Dave Ramsey is a special financial adviser in the way that his advice focuses on changing financial management behavior first and then getting into the more in-depth details later. There are a lot of reviews and descriptions here, so I'll keep my thoughts on this simple: check out the book, take ...             A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius916 reviews Dave Eggers Vintage, 2001 A dizzying book There is an image at the beginning of this book, of two brothers driving along Highway 1. They are flying on the edge of the world, going too fast, with only the guardrail between them and the ocean below, and they feel dizzy and free and reckless. It's an image that captures part of the soul of the book. There is another part of the book, that I think more of as the body, where there are two ...             The Total Money Makeover Workbook73 reviews Dave Ramsey Thomas Nelson, 2003 IF YOU'RE DROWNING IN DEBT, GET THIS BOOK! This is probably the best book I've read in a long time. Ramsey has each topic set up so that his plan is easily followed, step by step...Above all, it's not really repetitive, though he does recap every now and then. This is a good thing, because I'd be constantly having to review previous tracks if he didn't touch base on what he tried to get across before. He is right--debt is not a tool. ...             Watching the Watchmen: The Definitive Companion to the Ultimate Graphic Novel11 reviews Dave Gibbons, Chip Kidd, ... Titan Books, 2008 A Wonderful Glimpse into the Process Never before had I seen that much thought and effort go into a project. It was January 1985 and I was representing DC Comics to the British talent. Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and I spent a delightful afternoon reviewing the project and Dave showed me sketches for the characters, the covers and even a marketing campaign that was as sophisticated as it was smart. It's a terrific that so much of ...             The Financial Peace Planner: A Step-by-Step Guide to Restoring Your Family's Financial Health28 reviews Dave Ramsey Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998 Great new start! This is a great start to a new way of thinking on budget planning. I am working hard to cut out the clutter in my bills and mind to get it together!             Listening Is an Act of Love: A Celebration of American Life from the StoryCorps Project39 reviews Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008 Profound I first heard about the StoryCorps Project a few years ago and was immediately charmed by the idea of it. Two people important to one another enter a soundproof booth and spend 40 minutes as interviewer and interviewee. The interview is recorded. They are provided with suggested questions, but more often than not it seems that once the conversation gets rolling, it becomes just that - a ...             The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2008 (Best American Nonrequired Reading)1 review Houghton Mifflin, 2008 Sheer pleasure Once again this series, always the star of the "Best American" anthologies, delivers the goods.
