Spendid is spendid
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better than "The Kite Runner" here comes "A Thousand Splendid Suns." I can't get enough of this genius, Hosseini. I wait with bated breath for his next masterpiece.

Lorraine Hansberry

Vintage, 2004

What Happens To A Dream Deferred?
Produced in 1959, A RAISIN IN THE SUN was the first Broadway play written by a black woman: Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), a memorable author who based the central story on an incident that occurred in her own family and which eventually evolved into a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 1940 as Hansberry v. Lee. The play presents us with three generations of the Younger family: the widowed ...

Happy Birthday to You! (Classic Seuss)

Dr. Seuss

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1959

"Happy Birthday To You!"
Instead of purchasing birthday cards this year, I purchased several books and wrote a personal message inside the cover. I then passed it around at the birthday parties and invited the guests to also write a message. This will be a wonderful keepsake item for my children and my nieces and nephews.

A timeless classic -- that still moves me, even now - years after my first reading!

Classic on the priciples of war
This ancient classic of 13 chapters was written over 2,500 years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. It is a must have for military buffs that enjoy reading about the tactics of the most succesful generals. It is rumored that Napoleon used a French translation of the Art of War to his advantage while conquering most of Europe, and he lost when he broke its principles. The principles ...

A Separate Peace

John Knowles

Scribner, 2003

A Different time, a Different Place
This book is one of several that is most memorable from my youth. The main character is one that you easily like, his spirit is pure. Like Siddhartha he has his Govinda who follows him around. The spirit that the main character embodies is what makes this book special to me, that and the fact that it is set at Andover or Exeter, which ever one, during a more innocent time. This book to me is ...

Peter Godwin

Back Bay Books, 2008

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun
Peter Godwin's book, titled above, is a very worth while read. In plain dialogue he lets the rest of the world know what is really going on in Zimbabwe in the most sensitive way possible through his own families lives. The book is beautifully written, I couldn't put it down once I started reading it, more especially after following the last fiasco of an election in June 2008. Why the other ...

Great book for girls too!
My daughter, who is not quite three, loves this book. In fact this book has started an infatuation with dinosaurs. She wants me to read it to her all the time and the illustrations are awesome.

Janell Cannon

Harcourt Children's Books, 1993

My favorite children's book
Note: My reviews are plagued by cyber stalkers who distort votes totals. If I HAD to answer the question: What is your favorite children's book?, I would have to pick "Stellaluna." There, this children's librarian committed, but I think my students would know that. It's one of their favorites, too!! What makes this book so special? E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!! The story line, the embedded lessons, ...

I don't know. I bought the book as a gift and haven't spoken to the recipient since. Personally I loved the book myself

Financial Accounting

Robert Libby, Patricia Libby, ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2005

Excellent Introductory text for Accounting
Given how dry a subject Accounting can be (especially for non-Accounting majors) - this book really was fantastic. It serves up excellent examples, has a modern, graphic and splashy style that made it easy to follow along and refer back to key terms, and I liked the tie-ins to business in the general commentary. It's a great text for a self-paced course like an online accounting course offered ...

The Pearl

John Steinbeck

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2000

Steinbeck Captures the Heart of an Immortal Lesson
This book is criminally unknown. In just under 100 pages, Steinbeck weaves the immortal truth that worldy wealth cannot guarantee happiness or joy into a classic tale of a South American native couple who discover the joys and woes of finding an incredible pearl. They first think that the pearl will change their lives (which is correct) by bringing them happiness and opening endless ...

Got Sun? Go Solar: Get Free Renewable Energy to Power Your Grid-Tied Home

Rex A. Ewing; Doug Pratt

PixyJack Press, LLC, 2005

To be fair...read on...
To be fair, I have not read this book. Why 5 stars? The book is a for-profit venture by the author, so recovery of time, effort, & energy is important for revenue reasons. So why write this review? After spending nearly 12-18 hours perusing AMAZON's book list on solar energy and photovoltaic systems, I was frustrated! None of the reviews on any single book seemed to be convincing enough to make ...

Ludwig Bemelmans Author And Illustrator

Viking Press, 1967

A great children's book
"In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines." In 1939, Ludwig Bemelmans began writing stories about a group of girls in a school in Paris, foremost among whom was the irrepressible Madeline. Those books are now considered classics in children's literature, having collected many awards. This is a great children's book, one that my ...

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Anchor, 2007

One of the most Gifted Writers Ever
I am not sure how I wound up reading this book, but this author is absolutely amazing. This book grabs hold of you even before the first page. The title alone made me curious. I could not put this book down and I didn't want it to end. I could feel the emotion written on every page of this book and I felt like I was actually living in Nigeria during this time. The characters, their dreams, ...
