Everything I read in his book is something I can directly relate to my own experiences and probably ...             Executive Privilege CD23 reviews Phillip Margolin HarperAudio, 2008 Grabbed ahold of my attention and didn't let go... Phillip Margolin is one of my favorite crime novelists, partly due to the fact he lives in my hometown of Portland, Oregon and usually places his stories there. I had the pleasure of finally getting to the top of the list at the library for his latest book Executive Privilege. I personally feel this is one of his best novels. It grabbed my attention and didn't let go until the final page. ...             Executive Power84 reviews Vince Flynn Pocket Star, 2004 Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp novels If you like political intrigue and/or spy novels, I suggest doing yourself a favor and just buy all of Vince Flynn's books now.

The character development happens throughout the series so you may not be as drawn to the characters if you ...             The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done (Harperbusiness Essentials)53 reviews Peter F.

I've read many books on organization (and hope to someday accomplish all I've read!), but this book will always be my favorite. Pam and Peggy have "been there."
