California Cooper St Martins Pr, 1988 D.J. Parhams, Author of The Blues for Annie Mae There is reading material and there is cherishing material, this book is definitely placed in the latter category. Ms. Cooper is a master storyteller. She is fearless in her writing, unafraid to follow her OWN heart and her OWN rules. Ms. Cooper uses more twist and turn than a California highway. She tells stories with her own country grammar and country charm.             Christy119 reviews St Martins Pr (a), 1995 My all-time favorite I rarely re-read a book, but have re-read Christy several times. Catherine Marshall's writing brings the reader face to face with the mountain people, to enjoy the dialect and the culture as part of the community. A thoroughly pleasurable read from cover to cover.             Tisha: The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness56 reviews Robert Specht, Anne Purdy St Martins Pr, 1976 great book This is a very interesting book, and I really enjoyed it.

But men like Garrison showed us that their ...             The I Ching or Book of Changes: A Guide to Life's Turning Points30 reviews St Martins Pr, 1992 Living a plentiful life Recently, I read a Japanese saying: When you stop travelling, you'll have arrived. This saying marked my life. I always lived in the fast-lane, forcing things to happen the way I wanted to, and although I consider myself a successful person and had all which I desired, I was stressed most of the time. I learned this lifestyle from my parents, both of whom are very successful, but then, one ...             The Bridge of Birds: A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was175 reviews Barry Hughart St Martins Pr, 1984 Beautiful, Beautiful Story... When I first started to read this book, it seemed a little slow. But I've learned over the years that some books (and usually the best ones!) take a little more 'setting up' than others. This book was certainly NOT a disappointment! It quickly turned into one of those books you simply CANNOT, for the life of you, put down! And want to read again and again. I gave it away thru [...] and have since ...             Shadow of the Moon25 reviews M. M. Kaye St Martins Pr, 1979 They can't believe they're on the eve of destruction... "Shadow of the Moon" is the story of the time before and after the Sephoy rebellion. It is the story of two people who are passionate about India, Winter and Alex. As an officer in the Indian army, Alex is asked to escort seventeen year old English/Spanish/Indian heiress Winter back to the land of her birth, to the man she has been engaged too since age eleven. Alex expects an older woman-a ...             The Far Pavilions96 reviews M. M. Kaye St Martins Pr, 1978 M.M. Kaye fan Well written and engrossing. If you like reading about the Raj period of history, you will love this novel.             Liege-Killer28 reviews Christopher Hinz St Martins Pr, 1987 A Real Page Turner I will not bore you with details of the plot since other reviewers have already have done an excellent job at that. The big questions are: Is this a good book? Will I like it? What's it's like? Let me try to answer those. This book is definitely in the genre of a science fiction thriller in the best sense. The action and the plot flows very quickly, very significant events happen that will ...             The Thin Woman24 reviews Dorothy Cannell St Martins Pr, 1984 LOVED IT! I hate to admit this, because it's nothing against the book at all. I absolutely love this book but for the life of me I can never remember the name. I know what it's about and about when I read it so I search my library for the name each time. The story is so entertaining and fresh. What's funny is I have read other books in this series and for some reason never knew this was one of the first ...             The Haunted: One Family's Nightmare18 reviews Robert Curran St Martins Pr, 1988 YES-````The Haunted-Is Real.```` I read the book, and can relate to the truth because of my own experiences with the paranormal. This is by far the scariest demonic case I've ever read about... This world does contain mystery.             Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller19 reviews Judith Thurman St Martins Pr, 1982 Biography as Literature Isak Dinesen, by Judith Thurman, is easily, although a biography, one of my favorite "stories", and one of the best books I've ever read. Thurman's style is such that her book comes across as more then just a biography, but a novel as well. Her writing is beautiful, and really does her subject, also a master story-teller, more then justice. Most importantly though, she thoroughly examines ...             Earth Will Shake (Historical Illuminatus Chronicles, Volume 1)17 reviews Robert Anton Wilson St Martins Pr, 1984 Earth Still Shaking I read this book back in the late 80's when it was printed by a mass-market publisher (Signet, I think) containing two abridged volumes; The Earth Will Shake and The Widow's Son. I loved it then and was never able to find Nature's God. Now I have all 3 books. After re-reading this edition, I've enjoyed it twice as much!! There is still yet an unpublished forth book, "The World Turned Upside ...             Where the Wild Things Were17 reviews William Stolzenburg St Martins Pr, 2008 Fascinating Scientific Mystery Stories William Stolzenburg's "Where the Wild Things Were" summarized the past sixty years of scientific discoveries concerning the importance of predators as keystone species--remove these vital carnivores from the "Web of Life" and entire ecological systems collapse. In this book, Stolzenburg recounts the history of predatory biology as a series of riveting mystery stories. In his capable hands, ...             The Copper Crown: A Novel of the Keltiad20 reviews Patricia Kennealy St Martins Pr, 1984 A perfect blend of futuristic and ancient themes I am, as a rule, not a fan of science fiction, however this book (and indeed the Keltiad series) have been a great exception. The premise that a breakaway group of Earth born explorers, using magic and advanced science learned from the lost civilization of Atlantis, escape the surely bonds of Earth in 435AD and establish a civilization among the stars. The Kelts advance technologically ...             How to Prevent Falls: A Comprehensive Guide to Better Balance18 reviews Betty Perkins-Carpenter St Martins Pr, 1993 How To Prevent Falls: Better Balance, Independence and Energy in 6 Simple Steps I TEACH A SEATED FITNESS CLASS FOR ADULTS WITH LIMITED MOBILITY. THE BOOK HAS GIVEN ME GREAT IDEAS.             Blackburn18 reviews Bradley Denton St Martins Pr, 1993 Read this book!!! Quite simply, one of the best books I've read. I am getting ready to read it for the 3rd time. I love this book.             Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream18 reviews John Derbyshire St Martins Pr, 1996 A Great Book Club Book My husband and I bought this book simply because we happen to live in one of Calvin Coolidge's old homes. We didn't really expect all that much. Boy were we surprised. I immediately recommended the book to my book club. Let me say something about my book club: we've been together for almost ten years and we're made up for thirteen stong-minded women ranging in age from 30-something to ...             Swift Justice: Murder and Vengeance in a California Town19 reviews Harry Farrell St Martins Pr, 1992 Definitely swift, possibly just, certainly very troubling I must admit, I have a biased viewpoint. As a descendant of not one, not two, but three people who were summarily executed without the benefit of due process (one was most probably guilty --- the other two probably were not), accounts such as the San Jose Lynching tend to rub a raw nerve with me. In a brisk, wonderfully written narrative, the author sets the stage and lets the events unfold to ...              search for books abolition, ancient, balance, blackburn, california, changes, christy, chronicles, comprehensive, coolidge, dinesen, family, garrison, haunted, historical, homemade, illuminatus, justice, keltiad, liege-killer, nightmare, pavilions, prevent, slavery, storyteller, teacher, turning, vengeance, wilderness, william books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
