The narrative from beginning to end is clear. This is a book about 'transition', and none the less 'transformation', and solitude in the arm's of non medication, meditation. We see Elizabeth Gilbert transform from none the less a convoluted neurotic woman disturbed by a life awakening, a ...             Too Fat to Fish53 reviews Artie Lange, Anthony Bozza Spiegel & Grau, 2008 Artie lange book review This is a well put together book, but not a book for comedy if that is what you are looking for. it is instead a book about life and the pitfalls we all sometimes put ourselves in and must deal with. for additive personalities this book will relate to you, but those looking for laughs solely should attend one of his shows instead. overall great read though and I would recommend to friends.             A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity68 reviews Bill O'Reilly Broadway, 2008 bold fresh, piece first book i ever read where i laughed out loud. excellent in the way he comes across. i was first a little doubtful about the book, but it came through with flying colors.             Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . .

This is a must read.             Call Me Ted11 reviews Ted Turner, Bill Burke Grand Central Publishing, 2008 Well Done Very well written, and an easy (fast) read. I found myself reading late into the night. Fascinating depiction of the full character of Ted Turner - what drives him, what upsets him, what pleases him. The "Ted Stories" (little insets) written by others are great, no holds-barred they simply tell what others (in their own words) had come across in their experience. Ted does a great job of ...             The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life93 reviews Alice Schroeder Bantam, 2008 Great book for these economic times In these troubled economic times the books value for me is in the common sense lessons Mr Buffet has to offer, be it living a simple lifestyle, to investing in what you know and trust as well as knowing that to those that much has been given, much is required. Would make a great gift, especially for that young person starting out or that person who thinks materialism is what will make them happy.             Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets72 reviews Jon Gosselin, Kate Gosselin, ...

Harper Perennial, 2008 Common Sense still exist... This is a terrific book and so far has been a joy to read. It points out the shortcomings that as humans we have created, yet at the same time offers solutions that are so simple.

Little, Brown and Company, 2008 My Book Report I found this book most interesting. It is a shame this boy had to endure as much pain as he did both from the medications and from the way he was treated at times. His was a long journey from sickness to relative good health.

Boone Pickens Crown Business, 2008 the truth behind gas prices A great book! T. Boone Pickens is a true Patriot. One who loves this country and mankind before the love of money.

It is a story, not a treatise on how to change the institutions. But, it just may ...             Tales from the Dad Side: Misadventures in Fatherhood22 reviews Steve Doocy William Morrow, 2008 Great follow-up to "Mr and Mrs Happy Handbook" Steve Doocy has done it again with "Tales from the Dad Side" book. It is real life, funny, and full of great stories that match my own experiences. This book should be turned into a weekly sitcom.
