This book should be "required" reading for all young men. I gave it as gifts to my nephew and my cousin. I also encouraged a co-worker to read it and she's preparing to give it to her son and other young men. It's an "easy read". The letters and advice given are poignant, timely, educational and insightful. Down to earth, excellent advice for growing up ...             Watch You Bleed: The Saga of Guns N' Roses3 reviews Stephen Davis Gotham, 2008 Highly readable, but it's no The Dirt First of all, I'm not a die-hard Guns n Roses fan. For those who, like the gentleman below, already know a ton about the band, I suspect this volume will add little to their understanding of the Guns for the simple reason that the book seems written mostly from library research, footage and interviews that were already out there along with original interviews with ancillary characters. There is ...             The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down26 reviews Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy Gotham, 2007 Great treatise on the chipping, pitching and sand shots After reading Stan Utley's "The Art of Putting," I spent four months retooling my putting approach to great effect. I was really anxious to read his ideas about short game shot-making in this book. After four weeks of absorbing and practicing his ideas in this great little book, I'm a bigger Utley fan than ever. He explains his short game ideas very clearly and concisely here. As in his first ...             The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty57 reviews Julia Flynn Siler Gotham, 2008 Family dynamics for all to see An interesting in-depth review of a famous family, from success to downfall.

I keep it on my dresser and find myself referring to it frequently. My favorite feature of the book is that for each basic piece (white dress shirt, gray trousers, navy blazer, etc.), it shows several ideas for what else to wear, to dress ...             Hack the SAT: Strategies and Sneaky Shortcuts That Can Raise Your Score Hundreds of Points11 reviews Eliot Schrefer Gotham, 2008 FINALLY!!

This book is great for those who don't want any fluff and sympathy. My debt was caused mainly because of 9/11 and the affect it had on my business, as I lost most of my small business customers almost overnight. Its been difficult to not only rebuild my business, but still keep my head above water to pay my creditors. Larry gives you easy homework, I've read the book completely, and knowing what ...             Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation540 reviews Lynne Truss Gotham, 2006 An ode to an endangered species: Punctuation This book is not a grammar or style guide. This is rather a book by someone who is passionate about language, in general, and punctuation, in particular. If you see a signboard of a shop advertising "CD's, Video's, DVD's, and Book's", and if you see another one declaring "No Dogs Please" and both of them trouble you immensely, then this book is for you. Such grammatical errors have troubled me ...             Do You!: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success58 reviews Russell Simmons, Chris Morrow Gotham, 2008 Crosses all lines... Wow! This book is all about feeling good inside. I am 50 years old and already make a very high income from my day job and play jazz at night. I know almost nothing about Hip Hop, am white and grew up in the suburbs. I had never even heard of Russell Simmons. I was not sure if this book would touch me in the right way because I assumed it was "exclusively" for the young, urban,hip hop crowd. I ...             Letters to a Young Sister: DeFINE Your Destiny11 reviews Hill Harper Gotham, 2008 A Marvelous Effort! It shows What is Right with all who have asked: What is Wrong? After purchasing Mr. Harper's earlier work, Letters to a Young Brother, I eagerly anticipated Letters to a Young Sister. Upon viewing it (prior to giving it to my teenaged daughter), I was not disappointed with the contents. It comes with one hundred pages more and almost twice as much stimulating advice for budding young ladies. All young girls will appreciate the introduction to the book ...             The Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription: The Science-Proven Plan to Start at Any Age9 reviews Vincent Fortanasce Gotham, 2008 The Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription- Easy lifestyle applications to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's Dr. Fortanasce's "Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription" is written in an easy to read, non-clinical style.

First off, I am a 3 handicap that is working hard at trying to get to a 0. My biggest struggle was with my short game, my pitching was decent at best, chipping was pretty steady, but my putting was awful. I was averaging about 33-34 putts per round. I attempted to read both Pelz books but found them extremely dry, poorly written and the methods didn't do anything for me. After reading this ...             It's Called Wo for a Reason!: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault61 reviews Larry Winget Gotham, 2007 Larry is like a recording of me!!! I have three of Larry's books. This guy is telling folks the very same things I have said all my life. I later went out and bought 40 copies of the three books I have read so when my friends start their whining I just hand them a copy and tell them to go read it. Maybe they have short term memory issues when I tell them so here is a copy of the same stuff I have preached about for years. ...             How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else107 reviews Michael Gates Gill Gotham, 2007 Good read if you can get past the Starbucks marketing and are not judgemental I finished this book in one sitting because I was just so eager to experience the author's journey of picking himself up from rock-bottom. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the overwhelming Starbucks mention but was able to get past it because I have heard that it is a really good company to work for, and from personal experience have really come to appreciate the value of being in a ...             Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper85 reviews Diablo Cody Gotham, 2006 A great read!

This terrific book changed the way I think about clothing fit, and what I should be wearing and buying. It's the most useful fashion/clothing book I own, and probably a good purchase for many women. The ideas are timeless, but still immediately applicable for a variety of women, budgets, sizes, and style preferences. I highly recommend it. I had come to Amazon just to buy the Lucky shopping ...             Bumping Into Geniuses: My Life Inside the Rock and Roll Business Gold Danny Gotham, 2008 A giant of the music industry grants an all-access pass to the world of rock and roll, with mesmerizing stories of thirty-five years spent working with legends from Led Zeppelin, to Stevie Nicks, to Nirvana.
