Philip Reed

Da Capo Press, 2005

Magnificent Book and a Fascinating Story
This book is absolutely wonderful. I picked it up out of curiosity after learning about Mike Austin's record-breaking achievement (longest drive in professional golf competition history), and ended up being completely drawn into the story. With a straightforward, honest writing style that moves at a nice pace and never gets bogged down, Philip Reed does a masterful job of portraying a complex ...

The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume I: The Greatest Science Fiction Stories of All Time, Chosen by the ...

43 reviews

Tor Books, 2003

A classic...never out of style
I was new to some of these stories. And I was sorry I had not read them years before.Since they date back to the 1950s in many cases, you would think they would seem dated. And some are...but there are so many gems that are worth reading, and reading again. They have aged well. What is a good yarn, written well, will never go out of style.

Tennis Confidential: Today's Greatest Players, Matches, and Controversies

Paul Fein

Potomac Books Inc., 2003

Tennis Confidential fascinates, informs, and entertains!
As a tennis fan, especially in a family with few tennis fans, I enjoy reading outside material about the game. Not tips on playing, but about the pros, especially stories, history, analysis, etc. So I figured this book would fit right in with my appetite, especially from the subtitle, 'players, matches, and controversies.' I was right! Tennis Confidential contains all of this and more! ...

A Bridge Too Far: The Classic History of the Greatest Battle of World War II

Cornelius Ryan

Simon & Schuster, 1995

Excellent Introduction in this Important part of WW2 History
I can't say it much better than the previous reviews have already. I wanted to read something on this subject and was led to this book. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the topic. Broad in scope yet detailed in its descriptions of the soldiers, units, and battles in this massive offensive. This is an excellent jumping off point to begin studying the Battle of Arnhem. Well ...

The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian: The Original Adventures of the Greatest Sword and Sorcery Hero of All Time!

94 reviews
Robert E. Howard

Del Rey, 2003

The Master At His Best
The sheer number of reviews should offer solid evidence of just how popular Robert E. Howard's creation Conan the Barbarian is. Though other writers have offered their take on this great character, to fully appreciate Conan one must begin and end with Howard. Nobody but nobody wrote sword and sorcery to equal Howard. I find it interesting all of the in depth analysis of both Howard and his work ...

A Yankee Century: A Celebration of the First Hundred Years of Baseball's Greatest Team

Harvey Frommer

Berkley Hardcover, 2002

How about that, folks?
In the northeast, the winter of 2003-2004 will be remembered as one of the snowiest, iciest, coldest and dreariest in recent memory. A YANKEE CENTURY was the perfect cure for those miserable days. Filled with the baseball history that took place on the sun-drenched field of Yankee Stadium, Harvey Frommer has provided us Yankee [and most baseball] fans with a warm nostalgia and a good feeling for ...

Ficciones (The Collected stories of the world's greatest writers)

72 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges

franklin library, 1985

An ingenious labyrinthine narrative....
Borges never fails to please, to challenge, to entertain, and more importantly make one's brain shift into high gear! If you are looking for an easy read, don't expect to find it in Ficciones. However, if you are looking for a little cerebral cortex arousal; grab this book and find a cozy spot...you won't be disappointed! Reading with his head instead of his heart, Borges looks to fill his ...

Richard Vigilante Books, 2008

critically needed information
We gave this book to our daughter on her graduation from Army basic training. My husband and I both had careers in the Navy, and, while in active duty service, I was always aware of the huge reality gap between what gets reported in the news, and what really happens in the arena. If you REALLY want to know what is going on in Iraq, READ THIS BOOK!

If you liked this book, you MUST read this interview
I found this incredible interview regarding how the game of Golf has changed over the years. You wouldn't believe the evolution! If you have any interest in the history of Golf, this is a must read. If you want to become even more knowledgeable on the subject, scroll to the bottom of the interview and get in touch with the author. After reading, I guarantee you will be able to lead the most ...

The greatest thing in the world (Castle books)

21 reviews
Henry Drummond

Greystone Press, 1951

Beautiful Sermon on Love
Hadn't read Henry Drummond's book in years, but I recently picked it up again and re-read it and found it had lost none of its power for me. This book can be read in twenty minutes, but it's a twenty minutes that can change your perception of life and love. Drummond, who was an inspiring liberal-thinking Christian of the 1800's, divides Paul's chapter on love in First Corinthians into three ...

Animal farm ; 1984 (The Collected stories of the world's greatest writers)

25 reviews
George Orwell

franklin library, 1978

Worthy literature that transcends the genre of political fable
This is a handsome republication of Orwell's two most renowned works, Animal Farm and 1984. Even if you're just looking for 1984, this edition is to be commended; it comes with a fine introduction by today's leading Orwell enthusiast, Christopher Hitchens, and the reward of including Animal Farm requires very little in the way of additional effort or expense on your part. At 80-odd pages, you ...

Fireside, 2008

Egonomics
egonomics is the kind of excellent, well-researched book that only comes along every few years. The content plays a vital role in our journey from good to great as part of a major service organization in a large, global company. Specifically, the principles, processes, and tools that apply humility, curiosity and veracity to our business issues, have allowed us to have candid and productive ...

Mastering Remote Viewing : (Remote Viewing, Third Eye & Astral Projection)

Sapphire, 2006

Remote view my passed away parents.
I bought tons of paranormal books, none of the books as easy read as this author's books. If you are well read enough, you should be able to notice...the British and American, they write differently in term of grammar style. When you get on the British air, you will find the flight magazine has tons of grammar mistakes (by American standard), but when the British reading American airline ...

The Bruce Trilogy: A Superb Trilogy About Scotland's Greatest Hero (Coronet Books)

30 reviews
Nigel Tranter

Hodder Headline, 1985

Tranter is indeed the master storyteller!
The Bruce Trilogy is actually a set of three separate novels written by Tranter about Robert the Bruce of Scotland, and I think enough previous reviewers have stated the basic outline of the novels that I don't need to restate it again. This was a fascinating story of an honorable, courageous man and an incredible military tactician, and his battle for freedom and peace for Scotland from the ...

Collected poems, 1909-1962 (The 100 greatest masterpieces of American literature)

23 reviews
T. S Eliot

franklin library, 1978

Truly, one of the giants
When you think of the best poets ever, T.S. Eliot is one of those that comes to mind. His work is well crafted, intelligent, beautifully written, and has a flow to it that few poets can match. And this is a fine collection for the Eliot lover or for the reader unfamiliar with Eliot. It's divided into several sections. The first section is his Prufrock section, poems from 1917, which contains ...
