Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations...One School at a Time

1296 reviews
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

Viking Adult, 2006

You have to read this..,, and tell your friends too.
Besides being a really great story about a man doing amazing things, I learned more about Pakistan and Afghanistan and what is really going on there than I ever get from the news. There are many ways to take this book, a heartwarming story, a piece of motivation, a history lesson, a primer on current international events, but however you take it, just make sure you do!

For Laci

Random House Audio, 2005

one of the best books I've ever read
being a mother, my heart bleeds for Sharon...I cried through the whole story - that Scott deserves nothing less than eternal hell - he did it - there is no doubt - I just cannot believe the difference from "lover" to "murderer" - I've seen it, not the murderer part but know of hot/cold people - it boggles the mind that even when they(Laci's family) tried to extend sympathy to the Peterson family ...

The Company She Keeps
Having lived in Rochester all my life, I recognized a lot of the names that Georgia wrote about, even remember her as the Kodak Summer Girl. Excellent read

The Beatles Anthology

Beatles, John Lennon, ...

Chronicle Books, 2000

Great Book - Great stories.
The only negative is the size of the book. There should be a smaller hardcover or paperback edition. The content is superb and a great coffee table book, but it's difficult to curl up with this book in bed.

Sex & the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra & the Kama Sutra

246 reviews
Mabel Iam

Llewellyn Publications, 2003

I'd give it six stars if I could.
M. Iam seriously addresses intimacy issues and provides a step-by-step deep relationship-nourishing format that begins with the art of exploring the pleasures of the Kama sutra from the vantage point of the couple's balanced physical, mental and emotional energy. In addition to initiating and maintaining the purely sensual aspects of love-making. Everyone should read this book. I have read a ...

Truman

David McCullough

Simon & Schuster, 1992

A brilliant biography
"Truman" is a much praised book and deservedly so. There is hardly a need for another review, in addition to the 280 already posted here, so I will be brief. Above all, it is superbly readable, as entertaining as a good novel. I experienced a sense of regret having finished it today. It is a clear and balanced portrait of a leader and a wonderful study of understated, firm and steady ...

Teacher's Discovery, 2000

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 ...

Torey L. Hayden

Putnam Adult, 1980

Fascinating Narrative
This amazing true story is about a violent 6-year old. You will be amazed by the details of how her teacher--Torey Hayden--reaches out to this child with special needs. This book is a must for teachers and parents.

My Soul to Keep

Tananarive Due

Harpercollins, 1997

You Won't Be Able To Put This Book Down!!
This book was fabulous! I couldn't put it down! I finished it in 2 days (stupid work! I'd have finished it in 1 day if I didn't have to go!!). I've always seen books about immortals as vampire, gross, bloody books. This one is not that way at all. It's cleverly written, everthing has an underlying meaning. While you read, keep notes on facts...you will have "aha!" moments later!!

Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife

126 reviews
Peggy Vincent

Scribner, 2002

Moving and Informative
I've read several births on midwifery and Peggy Vincent's is by far one of the most readable in terms of reaching a broad audience. If you reach for a midwifery book, in general you are pregnant and considering it as a birth option or interested in midwifery itself. There aren't a lot of general interest readers but Vincent's book is in a position to change it. It is both a memoir of a powerful ...

Jennings Michael Burch

Topeka Bindery, 1999

I've read it over ten times
Since I first read this book over 15 years ago I've read the book over 10 times. I read it three times the first year. I felt it was an amazing story, very touching, and able to tug at me each time I read it. The strength and courage that the author had was amazing.

Alicia Appleman-Jurman

Bantam Press, 1990

An irrepressible spirit of survival
Raised from the age of five in Buczacz, which was roughly a third Jewish at that time, Alicia was sheltered relatively well from the anti-Semitism that plagued her town, as well as the rest of Europe. She had many friends, both Jewish and Christian. After the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939, whereby the two genocidal dictators divided Poland between them, Buczacz fell into the Soviet zone. The ...

Laura Joffe Numeroff

Scholastic, 1985

If You Give a Child This Book...You Will Have Hours of Fun Together
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a modern classic, beloved by children everywhere. It is also a book that teaches about sequential action and consequence. For example, if you give a mouse a cookie, he is going to ask for a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he will probably ask for straw. As the book continues, the drink leads to a napkin, which leads to a mirror (to check for a ...
