Utterly essential to read and re-read
I have a (very) short list of books that I re-read annually. This is the book at the top of my list. I am a professional software developer working within the world's largest software company. I work in amongst (BY FAR) the most incredible software engineers on the planet. One of the things that I enjoy the most about working with the people around me is range and depth of experiences that are ...

Pearls Before Swine
Pearls Before Swine is a hilarious comic strip and everything connected with it i.e. books, calendars, etc. is great. If you have a wry sense of humor, you will love it.

Free Range Knitter
I am at the half way mark and I can say this is a very entertaining book. For a knitter, all of these situations, anecdotes are totally relatable to. Most of this has happened to a Knitter at some time ! For those who loved the previous books by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, you will not regret your purchase. For those who love this one, you will probably end up buying the previous ones. I'm a fan ...

John Steinbeck

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

Steinbeck Captures the Heart of an Immortal Lesson
This book is criminally unknown. In just under 100 pages, Steinbeck weaves the immortal truth that worldy wealth cannot guarantee happiness or joy into a classic tale of a South American native couple who discover the joys and woes of finding an incredible pearl. They first think that the pearl will change their lives (which is correct) by bringing them happiness and opening endless ...

Great Read
This is a very good book. When reading it, just keep in mind there are no absolutes. The information is good and should be used as a guideline, there is more than one way to do the reconnection work.

The Christmas Pearl
The Christmas Pearl If you're GRITS (Girls Raised in the South), you'll really understand the premise of this book. But it's a great, feel-good read for anyone who enjoys nostalgia and appreciates the wisdom that comes with age.

In the Pearls Navy
Crocs and more crocs. This is a collection, which means it will eventually find its way into a treasury. Still, I cannot wait to buy the latest Pearls. The comics covered are from April 7, 2006 to May 13,2007. This included the touching Daddy Croc moments. The interactions between the Dad and Son croc are some of my favorite in the series, including when Son starts dating the zebra next door. For ...

Frendsheep on Zebra Drive
I really love the Croc's! They are all my neighbors rolled into one - I think even a few have followed me into work once and a while. The never give up attitude and dogged determination makes for a book that is just fun to give (which I plan on), read and laugh out loud. In these times we all need the comics to see some humor in life. Of course I would like to have the book be thicker, but ...

A must read
This is a must read for everyone. It certainly leads one to believe we are led by criminals. Not suprised though!

Best Comic Strip Out There
The first Pearls comic I've ever saw was the strip where Pig made Fidel Castro cry and I've been hooked ever since. I've had this collection for about a year and it still makes me laugh. A great gift for friends or yourself, an instant classic.

The Good Earth (Enriched Classics)

Pearl S. Buck

Pocket Books, 2005

Pearl S. Buck's masterpiece...'The Good Earth'
This is Pearl S. Buck's stunning Pulitzer prize winning novel, 'The Good Earth'; it was written in 1931. The book itself is easy to read, written in plain language using simple words to describe people, places and things. No dictionary or thesaurus needed here. This is not only the story of Wang Lung and his wife O-lan (by arranged marriage), but also in a sense, a historical novel that ...

Pearl S. Buck

Moyer Bell, 1991

Fascinating
Written in 1956, it is quite possible that this work is dated and that new information on this Empress and this era have come to light. Perhaps it is true that newer biographies exist which prove Pearl S. Buck's version inadequate or just plain wrong. But who is to say that modern biographies might themselves prove inadequate in another 50 years. This book is written as a novel. It does not ...

Tracy Chevalier

Plume, 2003

suprisingly good
I started to read it and could not put it down. Some authors will spend pages describing a scene or a person, making a book drag out. This author, with a few words, made you feel like you where standing next to the character.

September 11, 2001 Day of Deceit
The collapse of the twin towers didn't look right to me, but so much was happening that I had to let it go. There was the antrax attacks that was "military grade" thought to come from Ft. Dietrick. There was a killer in my neighborhood called the DC sniper. Oh yeah, lets not forget the invasions of Afganistan and Iraq. Everything happened so fast it made me forget about the stolen 2000 ...
