I've read this book twice and coming behind the Holy Bible it is one of the best books I have ever read. To read about the hardships that Victor Herman suffered, endured, and survived is nothing short of amazing. I realize that I have absolutely nothing to complain about for the rest of my life. In America we take so many blessings for granted - family, church, friends, freedom, food, ...             The Little Prince: 25th Anniversary Gift Boxed Edition191 reviews Antoine de Saint Exupery Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1971 Little Prince speaks to the child in me I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...             In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching (Harvest Book)62 reviews P. D. Ouspensky Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1965 Great Introduction to the Esoteric Work P.D. Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous" is one of the most profound and one of most memorable books that I have ever read, and it is most certainly the must-read. Not only that, it also forces one to question one's reality, self-identity, actions, and surroundings. With each time that I read this book, I began to notice the number of little false "i's" that popped up in my being. Every ...             North to freedom (A Voyager book, AVB 82)28 reviews Anne Holm Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1974 A moving children's novel This is an engaging historical fiction novel. Set in post World War II Europe, it is also published under the titles David, and I Am David. With the help of one of the prison gaurds, 12 year old David escapes from a communist labor camp in Bulgaria with no idea what to do other than go to Denmark. The story weaves in many important themes, such as freedom, beauty, truth, and love. There are many ...             The Four Loves69 reviews C. S. Lewis Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1960 All loves in Love Within this work, Mr. Lewis is quick to point out the inherent difficulty with regard to the concept of love facing individuals whose native tongue is English. That is, it is easily recognized that there exists an extreme deficit when one applies the same word to describe the sentiment shared with one's spouse, as well as their favorite food. In such extreme cases of difference in terms of the ...             This house of sky: Landscapes of a Western mind28 reviews Ivan Doig Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978 Great American literature This is my all time favorite book. Period. Beautifully written, thought-provoking. It will make you want to move to Montana. It will make you love open sky and a horizon that goes on forever and the importance of family.             Quick as a cricket (Imagination: an odyssey through language)32 reviews Audrey Wood Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1989 Beautifully illustrated, wonderfully written This rhyming children's book is terrific toddler reading. The drawings are beautiful and our kids have both loved it. Our two year old loves the animal illustrations and verses. A great pick!             Collected Poems, 1909-1962 (The Centenary Edition)23 reviews T. S. Eliot Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991 Truly, one of the giants When you think of the best poets ever, T.S. Eliot is one of those that comes to mind. His work is well crafted, intelligent, beautifully written, and has a flow to it that few poets can match. And this is a fine collection for the Eliot lover or for the reader unfamiliar with Eliot. It's divided into several sections. The first section is his Prufrock section, poems from 1917, which contains ...             Silly Sally (HBJ treasury of literature)41 reviews Audrey Wood Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1993 very cute Great little book. Both my husband and I love reading this to our daughter who seems to really like it. Very quick, but entertaining. We have it memorized.             Borrowed time: An AIDS memoir23 reviews Paul Monette Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1988 Love in the time of AIDS "I don't know if I will live to finish this," begins this memoir by Paul Monette, who would ultimately live only seven years after he did complete it (and, auspiciously, several other works). Monette's account is a chronicle of the last days of his lover Roger Horwitz in 1985 and 1986: a mere nineteen months between diagnosis and death. It's an emotionally devastating portrait; yet, far from ...             Knight's castle (A Voyager/HBJ book)18 reviews Edward Eager Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1984 Attention history and fantasy lovers! Four children and a magical toy castle, what could happen? Everything!

Warriner Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1988 Don't leave home without it! This book was issued to me in my senior year in high school in 1976. I have kept it by my side, has helped me through my college years and then with my children, and now that I have decided to go back to school and am studying translation, I have taken it out of the bookshelf once again because the books we were assigned do not even come close to the perfection (in my idea) of this book. It has ...             the compleat i hate to cook book22 reviews peg bracken Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986 Cookbook Author's Favorite Cookbook I write cookbooks, and I collect cookbooks, and this is my hands-down favorite. Bracken writes incredibly well; she's both clear and very funny. The recipes are for real food the family will like. Bracken addresses all sorts of real-life food situations -- the family get-together, the casual gathering after the kids' soccer game, the late night snack, the potluck supper. She makes the ...             My friends (HBJ treasury of literature)13 reviews Tarō Gomi Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1993 ...With a Little Help from My Friends My Friends by Taro Gomi is a beautifully illustrated book about learning simple skills...with a little help from your friends. And in this story, all creatures (from the tiniest ant to the teachers at school) are your friends. My daughter loves this book, reciting page after page which friend teaches her what task. The overall message of this book is that a child can learn something from ...             The kid from Tomkinsville (Baseball diamonds)13 reviews John Roberts Tunis Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987 One of the best sports books ever When I was in junior high, I was addicted to reading juvenile sports fiction. Shortly after beginning seventh grade, I went to the alphabetical beginning of the fiction section in the school library and began moving down the alphabet. As I went, I examined the books and read all that were sports related. In a little over two years, I had read every sports fiction book in the collection. Of all ...             The children of Green Knowe22 reviews L. M Boston Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1983 Loved it then, love it now I first read this book when I was a child (in the 60's) and immediately fell in love with it. It has everything I adore in a book; a little magic, a little ghostliness; an English castle; lovely animal companions; characters from times past; people with manners, morals and down to earth values and last but not least--love. I have re-read this book many times and have just finished listening to ...             The memory of Old Jack13 reviews Wendell Berry Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1974 phenomenal book For Berry readers, this will come as no surprise, but this is a phenomenal book. I love the simple elegance of the prose, and the import is incredible. Beautiful, beautiful book.             The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion23 reviews Mircea Eliade Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987 A brilliant introduction to the study of religion I decided to read this book for a religion-course I'm taking, and I must say I'm happy I did! Mircea Eliade was a Rumanian historian of religions, philosopher and author, in addition to being a vaguely religious man himself. This book was written to serve as an introduction to the study of religion for new students and the interested layman, and it does so excellently. Eliade was interestingly ...             Return to Gone-away (A Voyager/HBJ book)12 reviews Elizabeth Enright Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987 One of my favorites from childhood I loved this as a child and my son loves it just as much now that I have introduced it to him. A true classic for kids.             "B" is for Betsy (A Voyager/HBJ book)16 reviews Carolyn Haywood Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986 A memory of a sweeter time I read this book 30 years ago when I was in elementary school. It was probably the first "chapter" book I read. The story is sweet and simple and innocent. It harkens back to a time when children played and acted as children and the family was truly a family. When the fears children had were things like first days of school and crossing the street, not terrorism and pedophiles.
