Richie's Picks: THE LONDON EYE MYSTERY
"What goes up must come down Spinning wheel got to go 'round" --Blood, Sweat & Tears "Kat and I tracked Salim's capsule as it made its orbit. When it reached its highest point, we both said, 'NOW!' at the same time and Kat laughed and I joined in. That's how we knew we'd been tracking the right one. We saw the people bunch up as the capsule came back down, facing northeast towards the ...

Gripping, Haunting
I literally could not stop reading, once I started. In The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison tells the story of the Breedloves, a hard-luck Black family whose existence is defined by its members' conviction that they cannot be loved as they are. Little Pecola Breedlove longs to be loved. She decides that if she only had blue eyes, everything else would fall into place. I learned a great deal ...

John Sandford

Enter the mind of an obsessive killer - and an obsessive hunter - is there that much of a difference?
Sandford is a brilliant writer and he shows how Lucas Davenport - the hero of the series - is walking that thin, sharp line between hero and villain right now. Suffering from depression (and likely post-traumatic stress disorder after the events in the preceeding book, Shadow Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries)), Lucas lets his temper take control early on while hunting down a young pimp who beat ...

Bluest Eye
Toni Morrison's book is a reminder of some of this country's painful history and the realization that in many ways, not much has changed. It's educational, a thrilling read and provokes important thought. Recommended for any reader, particularly of classical literature.

Enlightening book!
This book is a must read for anyone who is living with or knows someone with Asbergers. The descriptions of his feelings and life experiences gives great insight into how Aspergian minds work. It makes it much easier to understand the Aspergian and why they do and say the things they do. At the same time, it's entertaining. This book gives you a little bit of everything, comedy, drama, ...

Ken Follett
Harper Paperbacks
, 2005
What a thriller!!
One word came to mind after finishing this book. WOW! I believe this is the best spy thriller I have ever read. He was cunning and so devious, he kept outsmarting all those who were trying to find him. But in the end he was no match for the adversary Ken Follett put him up against. I have read Mr. Follett before and he has never disappointed me. I look forward to reading more of his works. If ...

Southern Florida in the early 20th century and one black woman's story
This 1937 novel has become a classic of its time. It is a mere 184 pages long, but the edition of the book I read is packed by commentary. I skipped this commentary because I wasn't particularly interested in literary or social analysis. I just wanted to experience the book for itself and the story it told. Reading it this way, I actually "felt" the book in the way the author intended. And, ...

Haitian horror story
"Breath, Eyes, Memory" is the story of a young Haitian girl, Sophie, whose mother travels to New York when her daughter is very young, leaving Sophie in the care of her Tante Atie. Eventually Sophie's mother sends for her child, and the girl must travel to the United States to start a new life. I thought this book would focus on the struggles of a Haitian girl adjusting to American society, but ...

Great Bood For Deepening Your Relationship With God
This is a great book for any Christian who is serious about deepening your walk with Christ. The questions at the end of each chapter lend itself for great discussion and easy homework for small groups or Bible studies. The first chapter lays the foundation for the book as it describes how our struggles in life begin in the mind and how we are to measure all things up against Philippians 4:8. ...

Hard To Read Wealth of Children's Litature Course
If you plan to teach a children's literature course, then this book possesses nearly all of the information, history, and important milestones that you need...if you can get by the stilted language. It reads well for someone like me who studies/collects children's literature as a personal hobby; however, for the average reader? Get ready for a painful struggle. I would suggest using it in ...

Absolutely outstanding
I've been teaching in depth for over 20 years and this book brought new insights. This study is detailed and from credible, documented sources. Mr. Bailey brings a fresh look at material that until recently seemed pretty familiar. This book is worth your time.

Just what we needed!
I ordered this book at the recommendation of the psychologist who tested our daughter for ADD. It is written for older children and teenagers who have ADD or ADHD. My daughter, age 17, found it interesting. It helped her know that she was not the only one with this condition and gave her many tips for coping with life. Although I found much of it redundant, the book helped me see ADD from the ...
Serving with Eyes Wide Open: Doing Short-Term Missions with Cultural Intelligence

Baker Books

Surprisingly good!
As a doctor who goes on short-term mission trips on a regular basis, I felt I ought to read this book. I must admit that the title and the cover had me expecting a dry read. Instead, I found this little book to be extremely pertinent. In fact, it has affected my outlook on much more than the actual mission trips. I'm afraid this book will have limited readership, which is a shame. I would ...

Stephen King

My favorite King Book
Ok, so I am a huge Stephen King fan, and I do like most of his books, but there are a few I absolutely loathe. When I first read this book, I had no idea what to expect, and I ended up getting hooked to the story, and read it all the way through in one sitting, which is extremely unusual for me; I've only been able to do that with this and the 1st Harry Potter book. Anyway, this is a fairy ...

GUN FIGHTING 101 - THE BASICS IN YOUR FACE
This book is a treasure trove of lessons learned through training and combat from a professional career warrior. This book coves the basics giving the reader the why and how to every tactic, technique and procedure. One of the things that make Special Operations Forces so good at what they do is that they have mastered the "basics" in all they do. This philosophy carries over into this work and ...

Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy
, 1990
These book are long, but like all great books, they aren't long enough.
My first real foray into Epic Fantasy (apart from Lord of The Rings), and it remains by far my favorite. The world that Robert Jordan has created is unparalleled. Most fantasy book draw from the same pool of creatures: Elves, Dwarfs, Trolls etc. You won't find these (or their facsimiles) in Jordan's books. Rather there are Trollocs, Shades, Ogiers etc. And instead of wizards and ...
