It is rare that I derive such pleasure from a book, but Right Ho, Jeeves, gave me a delightful surprise. Not only does Wodehouse make an art of the satirical novel, but in the process wraps the reader up in the witty speech of Bertram Wooster and his strange arrangement of friends, family, and butler. Bertram, or "Bertie," as he is commonly known, stumbles through the entire novel with the idea ...             Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat48 reviews Bill Watterson Scholastic Inc Classic Calvin and Hobbes This collection has a few of my favorites in it (especially the girls/bugs analogy - priceless!) Great for any age - I read C&H starting around age 7 and I still read it today! I enjoy it just as much, though I see it from a unique perspective now. Every kid should grow up with this.             The Enchanted April24 reviews Elizabeth Von Arnim Book Jungle, 2006 Enchanting Having loved both filmed versions of this story, I came to the book not anticipating any surprises, and in that respect I was correct. What I did get, however, was a more fully-formed understanding of each of the four women who come to San Salvatore. Each has her own quest, and each is surprised in the way that her quest is resolved. Elizabeth von Arnim can harness language in ways that few ...             The Calvin and Hobbes36 reviews Time Warner Paperbacks, 1993 The beginning of a wonderful adventure... Forgive me if my review runs a bit on the sappy side, but I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes, and I sometimes think they are among the best friends I've ever had. Bill Watterson's comic is gentle, sincere, and magical. At its core it is an examination of what it means to be human, and the value of friendship. Watterson's philosophy of the comic strip was that it should be based around characters ...             Evidence Not Seen: A Woman's Miraculous Faith in the Jungles of World War II42 reviews Darlene Deibler Rose HarperOne, 1990 Inspirational This is an amazing book and a brilliant testimony to the faithfulness of God during unimaginable times. My own faith is stronger for reading Darlene Rose's book and I'm thankful for it.             Beautiful Joe45 reviews Marshall Saunders Book Jungle, 2006 A Timeless Tale of a Canine Black Beauty I first read this story as a Whitman abridged edition when I was about eight years old. It was hard for me to believe that some people were so cruel to animals, but I loved the book's old-fashioned narration and of the adventures of and lessons learned by Miss Laura and her family in raising Joe. The moment I learned what the word "abridged" meant, I went looking for the complete story; it took ...             Rumble in the Jungle20 reviews Giles Andreae Tiger Tales, 2001 Take a look This is such a cute book. Bright and colorful pictures to look at, with a story that isn't too repetitive. Readers will not mind reading time and again to children             The Permission Seeker's Guide Through the Legal Jungle: Clearing Copyrights, Trademarks and Other Rights for ...27 reviews Joy Butler Sashay Communications, 2007 Indispensable Guide to Keep Legal Action at Bay Serendipitously, I received entertainment and business attorney, Joy R. Butler's "The Permission Seeker's Guide through the Legal Jungle" when a good friend of mine was in the process of designing and launching his website. Knowing that he had some trademark issues ( he had recently come up with a logo for his goods and services and wanted to protect his intellectual property) I promptly handed ...             Just David24 reviews Eleanor H. Porter Book Jungle, 2008 A Treasure of a Book! As the other reviewers, I was given the book, by an aunt, back in the 60's when I was in seventh grade. She said she had been searching for a copy for me to read because she had loved it. I remember doing a book report on it for my 7th grade English class (I got an A)--and it was one book I never forgot. I thought it was out of print & had been looking for it for years at garage sales and used ...             The Greatest Thing in the World21 reviews Henry Drummond Book Jungle, 2007 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 ...             The Saggy Baggy Elephant (Little Golden Book)19 reviews K. Jackson, B. Jackson Golden Books, 1999 Golden Books are Awesome I read this to our son, sadly, after he "out grew" these books, they were passed on. Happily, after searching all over I found these treasures on Amazon and now have a new collection for our beautiful grand daughter to enjoy.             The Ballad of the White Horse12 reviews Chesterton G. K. Book Jungle, 2006 Simply amazing I had read some of Chesterton's fictional books, most of which contain poems which he has written, and I very much enjoyed his poems, so I decided to get a book of his poetry. This too I really enjoyed, so I decided to get another book of his poetry, this time it was The Ballad of the White Horse, and this book simply blew away all of the rest of Chesterton's poems. In fact, it simply blows ...             Concerning the Spiritual in Art13 reviews Wassily Kandinsky Book Jungle, 2008 "to break the bonds which bind". . . "to an impoverishment of possibility" Kandinsky had risen to positions of influence in other disciplines (political science/economics and law) before directing his considerable intellect to painting. His insights extended into the historic 'meta' trends of the arts and sciences, including the physical sciences, and had his interests been directed more to the history and philosophy of science instead of the history and philosophy of ...             Cocktails In Tahiti13 reviews Richard Bondurant Tahiti Publishing Company, 2006 Let's go! The format of the book is very well done. Makes you want to go to Tahiti.             Hilda Must Be Dancing13 reviews Karma Wilson Margaret K. McElderry, 2004 Fun book! This is such a fun book. Hilda is making a mess of the jungle with her dancing and the other animals are trying to get her to take up new hobbies. The book rhymes and is fun to read. I bought this for my 2 year old and she loves it. Karma Wilson writes several books we enjoy, including her Bear series.             The Jungle Book (Limited Edition): A Pop-up Adventure14 reviews Little Simon, 2006 Jungle Book Pop Up Book This was ordered as a Christmas gift for my grandchildren. It looked great when it arrived. I'm sure they will love it.             My Faraway Home: An American Family's WWII Tale of Adventure and Survival in the Jungles of the Philippines17 reviews Mary McKay Maynard The Lyons Press, 2001 evocative and insightful I learned about this book from my high school alumni web page and read it mostly out of curiousity. A fascinating book, a coming-of-age tale of a young girl in wartime. I so appreciated the author's skillful melding of her childish observations and her retrospective adult understanding of this difficult period of her life. She unflinchingly, and often humorously, describes the colonial prejudices ...             Lost Illusions16 reviews Honore De Balzac Book Jungle, 2008 Balzac at his best I love Balzac. At his best he soars above the rest of French literature and here he is definitely at his finest. Easy to see why Proust thought him the best, at his best. Vautrin/Collyn is at his most sinister and attractive. If you haven't read Balzac before, this is the best to start with.             A Field Guide to Household Bugs: It's a Jungle in Here13 reviews Joshua Abarbanel, Jeff Swimmer Plume, 2007 Gross but Good This fascinating and detailed "field guide to household bugs" is written by non-scientists for non-scientists. It is down to earth with amazing, horrifying photographic illustrations.             Real Men Don't Rehearse: Adventures in the Secret World of Professional Orchestras13 reviews Justin Locke Justin Locke Productions, 2005 Fun Read I loved this book! I myself am a musician and bought this for one of my musician friends for Christmas. I started flipping through the book and knew I had to get a copy for myself. Lots of fun stories that both musicians and non-musicians would enjoy. Gives you an "insider's look" at the world of professional musicians. The chapters are short enough that you can read one or two before bed. ...              search for books adventure, adventures, american, beautiful, clearing, cocktails, concerning, copyrights, dancing, elephant, enchanted, entertainment, evidence, greatest, homicidal, household, illusions, jungles, limited, miraculous, orchestras, permission, philippines, productions, professional, rehearse, spiritual, survival, through, trademarks books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
