I hate reading, and so I listen to the cds in the car. Very informative book, tries to get you to think in a new perspective. Definitely need to listen to it again. Would definitely recommend this product.             Little Bee: A Novel232 reviews Chris Cleave Simon & Schuster, 2010 Literature! Thank goodness. It's been so long since I've read a book this good, I was worried they'd all gone. This writing is amazing. AMAZING. (Mine is clearly redundant, but Cleave is just THAT good.) Cleave treats his reader like she is an intelligent one, capable of reading between the lines, or rather beyond what is written. This is a story about grief. A grief so complete and all-encompassing, you ...             Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln524 reviews Doris Kearns Goodwin Simon & Schuster, 2006 Great I am so glad another Lincold admirer suggested reading this book and I am glad I bought my copy from Amazon. Really fine book; quick delivery ... I am very satisfied with my purchase.             The Shadow of Your Smile46 reviews Mary Higgins Clark Simon & Schuster, 2010 THE SECRET HEIRESS When 82-year-old Olivia Morrow receives the news that she is dying and has little time left, she must make a big decision. Many years ago, her deceased cousin Catherine, who became a nun, had a big secret. And Olivia has letters in her possession that confirm the details of the fact that, at age seventeen, Catherine gave birth to a baby boy, whom she subsequently put up for adoption. The ...             The Glass Rainbow: A Dave Robicheaux Novel2 reviews James Lee Burke Simon & Schuster, 2010 "We're dealing with something that's genuinely evil." "The Glass Rainbow" -- the latest installment in James Lee Burke's series of crime novels featuring the New Iberia, Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux, finds the author fully in command of his well-practiced skills in crafting plot, characters and setting. Fans of Dave need to know only this: Your expectations will be well met. The themes for this go-round are the perennial ones of good and ...             The Promise: President Obama, Year One50 reviews Jonathan Alter Simon & Schuster, 2010 A Broken Promise Overall, this book is a very favorable portrayal of Mr. Obama, but is also an indictment of American political parties and many of the "political elites" who run the process. After reading the book, I felt somewhat discouraged by the political process. Some of the more revealing statements therein: -REF Bailout - McCain "hadn't read a three page plan to spend $700 billion dollars" (p. 11). ...             1776724 reviews David McCullough Simon & Schuster, 2006 Very interesting book. A must read for every American After reading this book I had a new level of appreciation for our founding fathers. The way David McCullough puts this book together makes for a gripping, informative and understandable book. Being a history buff I pride myself on having a surface knowledge of most major historical events in our nations history. I learned many things from this book, I felt the hopelessness of the situations ...             UR251 reviews Stephen King Simon & Schuster Audio, 2010 UR UR is my favorite Stephen King offering of the last decade. He is at his best when writing short stories and novellas. But the cynic in me doubts that there could ever be a happy ending for our hero.             Pearl Buck in China: Journey to The Good Earth7 reviews Hilary Spurling Simon & Schuster, 2010 A compelling life story told by a consummately skillful biographer Decades from now, the biographer Hillary Spurling will surely rate as one of the best writers of our time. This latest effort adds to an excellent list of achievements and might be her most successful book, yet. Given her much lauded two-volume biography of Henri Matisse, that is saying a lot. In this book, Spurling brings to life a writer I had not much cared for. In fact, I knew Pearl Buck ...             Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest471 reviews Stephen E. Ambrose Simon & Schuster, 2001 A WWII Must Very informative about a group of soldiers from the beginnings of boot camp to the jump behind enemy lines at Normandy, all the way to Hitler's secret bunker. A very good Stephen Ambrose book that everyone should read to get a perspective on WWII.             Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads147 reviews Gary Greenberg, Jeannie Hayden Simon & Schuster, 2004 For/From a First-Time Father When I began researching books about being a father, my wife was around 6 weeks pregnant. Becoming a parent for the first time is daunting, pressure-filled, and overwhelming. It seems as though the things you need to know just keep piling up! You find an answer to one thing (how to change a diaper), and 2 more things come up (baby powder can be inhaled by my baby??!?!). Thankfully, this book's ...             John Adams871 reviews David McCullough Simon & Schuster, 2008 Worth Time and Money Boy I wish everyone was required to watch this movie. I watched the entire set over a weekend and find it ironic how history repeats itself. Then John Adam, knew his purpose and committed to the greater good of a nation, at the expense of his family. Our politicians now do have not unified purpose other than their own gain. Sad. And is there a stronger bond that JA and Abigail...and Thomas ...             Savages: A Novel3 reviews Don Winslow Simon & Schuster, 2010 The title says it all... and them some Is there such a thing as intellectually crude humor? There must be because how else could you explain this book? I read this book based on a tip from some friends who live in So-Cal. And you really can't go wrong with book recommends from buddies who live in So-Cal. Up till this book I hadn't read anything by Mr. Winslow so I went in with my mind wide open. Which was a good idea because I ...             Catch-22879 reviews Joseph Heller Simon & Schuster, 1996 My favorite novel, ever Joseph Heller nails it. While at first it seems a chaotic mess of dark situational humor and commentary of the state of war, main characters (dozens!), and time-jumping, a wonderful pattern is found in it all. Read it through twice: first to find out why Orr was getting hit in the head by a shoe-wielding prostitute, then again to understand why there were crabapples in his cheeks. What a ...             The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible618 reviews A. J. Jacobs Simon & Schuster, 2008 Great Book Best book, I've read in a while. Very funny and thought provoking for those who are agnostic and those who have faith. I highly recommend it.             Jim Cramer's Getting Back to Even55 reviews James J. Cramer Simon & Schuster, 2009 Good book I learned a lot of information that I will use. I wish he had used more charts but he explained things in a very understandable way. I bought it mainly for the 2 options chapters. That alone was worth the price of the book.             Lonesome Dove: A Novel422 reviews Larry McMurtry Simon & Schuster, 2010 amazing I could have kept reading this for 10,000 pages if possible; it was that good. I was genuinely sad to see this book, and I do not say that often. I plan on reading Comanche Moon and Dead Man's Walk as soon as possible. If they are half as good as this book then I know I won't be disappointed.             The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World15 reviews David Kirkpatrick Simon & Schuster, 2010 Riveting story intensely reported and magnificently told We frequently discussed the Facebook phenomenon in my Business and Future of Journalism class this past semester at college, from the countless ways it embodies Web 2.0 and 21st century media concepts old news organizations have all but ignored to how it has/will monetize its free service and Mark Zuckerberg's unmatched knack for indispensability. I only wish David Kirkpatrick's book had been ...              search for books abraham, airborne, biblically, brothers, burning, catch-22, company, connecting, facebook, friends, getting, handbook, influence, journey, lincoln, literally, living, lonesome, normandy, political, possible, practical, prepared, president, promise, rainbow, regiment, robicheaux, savages, shadow books:    randomly chosen beauty: D & G Light Blue By Dolce & Gabbana For Women.
