I bought the book for a college class and it serves it purpose well. The book was in good condition to be used.             Things Fall Apart: A Novel531 reviews Chinua Achebe Anchor, 1994 What makes fiction important I know this is the classic debate of all time when it comes to literature: Is it about beautifully written prose (THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE, incidentally, is a good example of this problem) or does it tell a compelling story? (yet the prose itself is not its strong point). It seems that many works of fiction these days are of the former and unfortunately, not enough of the latter. I ...             Biology54 reviews Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece Benjamin Cummings, 2004 Great Book This book is way more informative than my professor. Also, since introductory biology doesn't change within a couple of years, I'm really glad I saved money and purchased the seventh edition rather than the eighth.             Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!2181 reviews Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter Business Plus, 2000 Great Book! Our accountant recommended this book, and I am sure glad he did. I read it in just a few days because it was so interesting. This isn't a typical "get rich" book since I found that the author was definitely trying to teach the reader how to rethink the way he or she views money. Some people might think that he is holding back by not going more into detail about how he made his millions, but ...             The Official SAT Study Guide109 reviews The College Board College Board, 2007 Excellent Guide! This is an excellent guide for the SAT! The content is thorough and very helpful.             You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management679 reviews Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen Free Press, 2006 Super great book! I am a registered nurse and this is by far the best book on the topic of waist managementthat i've read so far. Really wonderful ilustrations too. I would recommend it to any serious and diet conscious individual. E.P.             The Kite Runner2459 reviews Khaled Hosseini Riverhead Trade, 2004 Moving, Very Well Written I recently started a book club and this was our first pick. It could not have been a better choice. Everyone had it read in plenty of time. No complaints on the choice I made either. This book tells a very emotionally charged story. Once I started reading it, I was constantly stealing time to read, until it was finished. Hope there is a part II.             Man's Search for Meaning73 reviews Viktor E. Frankl Beacon Press, 2006 A must read classic For Frankl, if life has a meaning, it has to be found in suffering. And he knows what suffering is. A brilliant student who writes essays on Schopenhauer, Psychology and Philosophy when he is still in high school, reduced to a beggar child in WWI and excluded from Alfred Adler's circle, without any reason at the age of 19. At 23 he already enjoys international recognition for his free work ...             A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh Edition: Chicago Style for ...31 reviews Kate L. Turabian University Of Chicago Press, 2007 Good Update Not only have the editors updated Turabian for the internet age, they have greatly improved the layout and made it easier to use.             Anatomy Coloring Book, The (3rd Edition)93 reviews Wynn Kapit, Lawrence M. Elson Benjamin Cummings, 2001 Anatomy Coloring Book I purchased both this and the Physiology Coloring Book and they are great! Not only does coloring in the images reinforce what I'm studying, but the text portion (explanations) are added bonuses. I highly recommend both.             The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement300 reviews Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox North River Press, 2004 Outstanding read Great book! I couldn't put it down. Very interesting how the author used a novel to present a breakthrough business theory.             The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It308 reviews Michael E. Gerber HarperCollins, 1995 great book for new business owners This is an invaluable book for new business owners - I'm reading it cover to cover and then reading it again.             Beloved82 reviews Toni Morrison Vintage, 2004 Brilliant novel Beloved is a riveting story, a page-turner. It reminds me of The Turn of the Screw in that you are never certain what was real and what wasn't. Do you believe in the supernatural or is it mental distress? Awesome review of slavery every white American should read. But the story is the thing - and it is really something!             Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel591 reviews Lisa See Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006 Reluctant Reader My wife read this book first, loved it and recommended to me because of my long time interest in China and things Chinese. I avoided it at first because I considered it a book that would only interest women. A friend of mine, who is an old China hand, highly recommended it and so I finally read it. It is one of the most engrossing books I have ever read. It very effectively takes the reader back ...             Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)400 reviews Janet Evanovich St. Martin's Press, 2008 Fun and entertaining......... I have read all fourteen books in the Plum series. These are fun entertainment reading, not dark, deep, and heady.......if you want to laugh out loud, and I did "several times", you will love Evanovich's Fearless Fourteen. I am eagerly awaiting number fifteen. Good stuff.             Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson2112 reviews Mitch Albom Broadway, 2002 A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life. After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...             The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The)1093 reviews Rick Warren Zondervan, 2007 Wonderful book First let me say this is a great book I would recomend it to anyone. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was amazed how misinformed these nay sayers were. One person said that it taught that life is for us to fulfill our own perpose instead of living for God. What the book teachs is that serving God is our purpose. Another person said Rick Warren wrote this book just to make money, I guess he ...             Fahrenheit 4511260 reviews Ray Bradbury Del Rey, 1987 A classic This a classic must-read. Deep, interesting and a parable. Dont't miss reading it.             Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Edit & Students (Design Briefs)48 reviews Ellen Lupton Princeton Architectural Press, 2004 A solid book for type - with a twinge of humor I like this book a great deal. The next time I have a chance to use this in a class (to teach) I will. There are lots of good examples, the language is clear, and it's not too ethereal or esoteric. I think it's a great introduction to typography and laid out very well.             Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World140 reviews Tracy Kidder Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004 Living Saint!
