A superb exposition of how the defenders of the Constitution have eroded our freedom
"Regrettably, the [Supreme] court has too often taken the plain wording of the Constitution and interpreted it to mean exactly the opposite of what the Founding Fathers intended. By that process the Court profoundly altered the American legal, political, and economic landscape." So begins Richard Epstein's forward to this truly remarkable book. The authors, Robert Levy, of the Cato ...

Loved it!
This book is like a delicious dessert - so quick & easy to read, yet also captivating and thoughtful. It's also such a pleasure to read about successful, intelligent Latina women. I highly recommend this.

My favorite is now one of hers...
I loved this book as a child and now my 2 year old loves it too. This book tells the story of Harry, who hates baths. He hates them so much that he buries his brush and (temporarily) runs away from home. He plays and gets so dirty that his family thinks he is a different dog entirely. The story is sweet and simple enough for my 2 year old to enjoy, but not so simple that it's boring or ...
Still Dirty: A Novel

Still Dirty
Still Dirty was one of the most highly anticipated novels of the year, but it kinda fell below my expectations. Dirty Red was excellent. It was full of suspense, treachery and drama. Still Dirty was ok, but it didn't have the action that Dirty Red had. I thought that Red's devious ways would finally catch up with her, but that was not the case. Q and Bacon were too weak when it came to Red. I ...

They're Baaaack
As a big fan of Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez - I've read all her books and follow her blog(s) religiously - I have to say I was Not disappointed in the new book. I loved catching up with the sucias again. Plenty of action, drama, trauma and hot dirty sex along with a dab of insight and karmic retribution. What more could you ask for in a guilty pleasure?

not really worth it
This book essentially has one line (secret) per page. I suppose you can call that concise but it also seemed empty. I read through it in under 10 minutes. Kind of disappointing.
A Dirty Job: A Novel

Christopher Moore
HarperCollins
, 2007
Perfection!
Although Moore has written many excellent comedies, this one is at the top of my list. This is a case study in humorous imagination and spot-on dialogue. The storyline is just as crazy as those of his other novels, and yet he again delivers it with the smoothness and depth of a master bard. Do not let the theme of Death fool you, this is still the funny and talented Moore delivering yet ...
Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex

What Your Mother Didn't Know Enough About to Tell You!
I'll confess to blushing more than once while reading this engaging encyclopedia of all the things my mother didn't want me to know - and no doubt many she doesn't know herself. I surely learned a few new terms here! The sexy was the least surprising, though. These short pieces by an amazing gathering of writers are alternately funny, sweet, and enlightening - and often even poetic! But ...

love it!
This was one of my favorite books as a kid so I knew that I HAD to get it for my son, especially since he loves dogs too. This edition is so cute, and the board book makes it perfect for little hands that like to rip paper. I plan to get this for future kid gifts.

Useful tips and tricks
This is not an in depth instruction manual for Photoshop CS. This does give the inexperienced user of Photoshop quick and easy tips for creating a variety of useful projects. Many of these projects will expose the new user to some of the powerful tools of Photoshop. If you want to learn all of the features of Photoshop then buy a more technical book or take a Photoshop course. So to get a start ...
Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women
7 reviews
Rachel Kramer Bussel
Seal Press
, 2008
Sizzlingly Brilliant
All of these stories are fantastic sexual fantasies of pure pleasure and although titled as 'Erotica for Women', it turned my (approaching middle age) husband into a rampaging sex god, whose performance was better than any Hollywood hunk. We have been blissfully exploring the sexual benefits of erotic literature recently and have also enjoyed and received great sexual benefit from Best Women's ...

This will not convince you.
I love to read. But if the book does not grab me from the first couple pages, back it goes. Simply and ignorantly put, without all the details, I can surely say that this is one of, if not the best books I have ever read. I know!!!!! Not very helpful. But ya just gotta read it!!!!!!!!
Leaving Dirty Jersey: A Crystal Meth Memoir

Best memoir I've ever read, couldn't put it down!
This was for sure one of the best memoirs I've read, and the best addiction books out there. It stays with you after. I've read A LOT of addiction books to try to understand a friend I had that was an addict. I can't believe how the author got out alive and how honest he is! The things he encounters are not pretty and shamfeful and embarrassing, yet he eloquently describes his experiences ...
Straight Up and Dirty: A Memoir

Stephanie Klein
Regan Books
, 2006
someone who actually got it
I feel a little miffed at all the Stephanie hate going on in these reviews. Of course it's self-absorbed, it's a memoir! Who is she supposed to write about? I read this during my own divorce and there were times when I wanted to smack all my friends in the face and lock myself in my room and read this book. I found it funny, insightful (of course there's insecurity and self-doubt in a divorce, ...
Clean Cartoonists' Dirty Drawings

Craig Yoe
Last Gasp
, 2007
A lot of fun and just a tiny bit naughty
I'd been waiting for this book for a long time, reading about it on the web site, and anticipating it anxiously. I wasn't disappointed. It's a tricky topic and I can see how it could easily have been mishandled. Make it too dirty and people are offended. Make it too clean and they're disappointed. I think Craig has achieve the perfect balance of showing the work of familiar cartoonists whom we ...
