Great Book!
Our accountant recommended this book, and I am sure glad he did. I read it in just a few days because it was so interesting. This isn't a typical "get rich" book since I found that the author was definitely trying to teach the reader how to rethink the way he or she views money. Some people might think that he is holding back by not going more into detail about how he made his millions, but ...

On the move
This book has served as a beauty bible for many of my friends, so I wanted you to know that favored colorist Jamie Latiolais has moved from Stan Milton Oasis in Atlanta to Bernard Dugaud Salon. Bernard was named as best haircutter, so the salon information is in the book. Thank you, Charla. Can't wait for the hardback.

The Saga Continues...
As someone who really does not like vampire books, here I am again, reading yet the third installment in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. And, yet again, I couldn't put the book down. As the books evolve, there is more focus on the supernatural, and the interaction between those forces. Bella must choose between Edward and Jacob, between life and death, and ultimately she must learn how to ...

Washington Post Editorial Review on this site/book is "Telling"
The fact that a "Washington Post" writer provides a very lengthy rebuttal...not commentary, that poorly masquerades as an offical Editorial Review in this listing, is quite telling. The many truths and rational connections Mr. Goldberg has provided in this expose have rubbed more than a few nerves. Many of extreme left vs. right, right vs. left books on the market represent nothing more ...

Breaking Dawn
I loved the first half of the book and was intrigued by the whole plot twist of the half vampire half human baby . I knew all along through the other books that Bella was going to become a vampire and I was dreading it . I think we did lose a bit of our beloved klutzy "human" Bella but I also understand that its Stephenie Meyers story to tell and this is how she has always envisioned it were ...
Words That Work, Revised, Updated Edition: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear

Word up!
This book is masterful in its exploration of the use of language in American life, especially in business and politics. It was written by Dr. Frank Luntz, who calls himself a "linguistic geek." It's ideal for anyone, like me, who loves words and reading. The subhead to the book is "It's not what you say, it's what people hear." The trick is to speak in a way to make people hear what you want ...

EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS RELATIVE
Well, what Ms. Ehrenreich doesn't know is that there is MUCH MUCH worse to come!! In just a few years when the greatest depression in US history (13 years long) is visited upon us, surviving on the minimum wage will seem like the good old days. Sadly, people will be glad to work under the conditions she's explored. Everything is relative. Don't think it's going to happen? Read Arnold's The Great ...

I liked the book
I bought 2 of these cook books. One for myself and the other was a gift. The person who got it as a gift loved it along with myself. The peanut butter and jelly muffins were so soft and yummy. Some of the other comments said they only tried 1 recipe and will not make any more. You have to try more than one. So every other cookbook you have purchased you have tried and liked everything? There will ...

Must read for the 'Haves' in this country
I have to admit, I grew up as person of privilege. I am from a large home in suburbia and drove a Mercedes SUV to high school every day. I was always taught to appreciate the things you have, and how lucky I am. Being born into wealth doesn't take talent, it takes luck. Even being born in the United States alone takes luck, you only had a 5% chance of being born here. This book reaffirmed my ...

Gregory at her BEST!
This is Philippa Gregory's best novel yet! Not many writers would bother to go so deep into the lives of the women who changed the course of history. In a time when women were thought of as inferior and bothersome, Gregory opens the eyes of the reader and makes them realize that without Kathrine of Aragon, or Anne Boleyn, or Jane Seymour, or Anne of Cleves, or Katherine Howard, or Katherine Parr, ...

Christopher Hitchens

Please do not make fools of yourselves rating without reading
Hitchens does an excellent job of laying out, in very simple terms and concepts, the real role of religion in our society. From his analisys of the origins of religion to his very interesting examples of failed religions or some amazing facts about religious celebrities like Mother Theresa, Hitchens presents a face of religion that many people may never have seen. It is not a frontal attack ...

Bud, Not Buddy
My 3rd grade class really enjoyed listening to this story. The adventures of Bud, while many times being funny, touch my students and help them to see what another 8 year old in a past era had to endure. Great story line.

Get what it aims to do done
For those of you who are looking to improve the quality of your communication and relationships this is one of the books for you. However I'd recommend starting with How To Win Friends and Influence People by: Dale Carnegie. As Lowndes states in the intro of her book, her book isn't a replacement to Carnegie's classic but essentially an expansion. Carnegie goes into the concepts behind Lowndes ...

Memoirs By Nature Are Narcissistic
Think about it. You are the writer. The subject is you. The story is of your experiences based on the ideas generated by you. You have to spend a lot of time with yourself and like yourself enough to put it out there for the world to judge. And they DO judge! This first person account starts out with the in-your-face notion that she's a fat beyotch, a hearty eater (bring on the butter) and a ...

My new favorite book
This is literally my favorite book now. It was helpful to have a "professional" (sort of) tell me that if he's not calling, etc., he's just not that into me, and why would I want to wait around with him, when there's someone better out there who WILL BE "into me" enough to call (or whatever). The point is, why waste your time with someone who's not into you--potentially preventing you from ...

A moral quandary in time of war
"Those Who Save Us" by Jenna Blum is another of the terrific debut novels I've recently chanced upon. Since I can't do any better than the synopsis on the back cover, I've copied it here as follows: "For fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three when she and her mother were liberated by an American ...
