Restaurant Survival Guide: The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution2 reviews David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding Rodale Books, 2009 Another Winner from the Eat This Not That Series My sister gave me the first guide in this series, and I have been collecting and using them ever since. Each one is filled with post-its and notes, and the suggestions are on my grocery list every week.

My biggest downfall was fast food joints and upscale restuarants. ...             The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead447 reviews Max Brooks Three Rivers Press, 2003 Really Fun This is a really fun book.

Growing up, I didn't have the greatest relationship with my father. He had emotional difficulties due to a frontal lobe injury and PTSD from the Korean War. For years I rode horses with him and endured his volatile temper until I was old enough to go my own way.

The illustrations give the book a visual framing that make me want to reread World War Z with this imagery swirling in my head (also a duly excellent read). And for those that don't normally want to attach gory images to their zombie stories, be not afraid! These are good, even for the squeamish among us. I've been a fan of Max Brooks' work ...             Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World350 reviews Lisa Lillien St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Great book, great recipes Bought this book and loved it so much that I bought it as a Christmas gift for someone.

This book is better than the second book, so if you have to choose, this is the one to buy.             The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse24 reviews Fernando Ferfal Aguirre Fernando Aguirre, 2009 We're next There are lots of hypothetical "survival" manuals in print. Throw 'em out and buy this book if you want to know what you'll be dealing with day to day in a country with a collapsed economy. The author serves up a healthy dose of reality which people in the U.S.A. would do well to heed. No theory here - just practical, everyday information on staying alive and prospering while Rome burns. If ...             A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier476 reviews Ishmael Beah Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008 Enlighten yourself... a must read! This book should be a required read. It enlightened me to things I never knew were happening. Although the stories are at times difficult to read and imagine ever happening, I couldn't put it down. This book is so engaging! I enjoyed learning about this time in history and about this boys experience. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in culture, history, true stories, etc. A great read!             The Road (Oprah's Book Club)2014 reviews Cormac McCarthy Vintage Books, 2007 Terrifying and heart-breaking I just read it for the second time... I usually don't re-read books, but this one got me thinking... there's not much to say about it that hasn't already been said. It's sparse, bleak, utterly terrifying, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking... I still think the book will resonate most with parents- but if the by the end of this book you haven't choked up a little bit, you're not even human. McCarthy ...             SAS Survival Handbook, Revised Edition: For Any Climate, in Any Situation15 reviews John 'lofty' Wiseman Harper Paperbacks, 2009 Best survival guide I own and love this book.

She read it for hours in the car, and now, months later, still reads it often. My son, a second grader, also really enjoys this book. We've read all of the Junie B. Jones books (well, many of them in audio version), so we were excited to find a new book, especially right before our trip. This book is typical ...             The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1)315 reviews James Patterson Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 2007 Maxiumum Ride book 1, The Angel Experiment Awesome book.

I came across this book by accident while trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with me and my gut. I read it, and decided to give gluten free living a try. Boy howdy, I'm glad I did. And I'm glad I had this book to help me. I don't know whether or not I have celiac disease, but I have no intention of eating gluten for a very long time as I'm experiencing so much relief from symptoms I ...             Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage404 reviews Alfred Lansing Carroll & Graf, 1999 ENDURANCE "ENDURANCE", what a tale. It is hard to imagine a modern group of men from the civilized world enduring such an adventure. Surrounded by all our modern technology, modern civilized man is probably not capable of "enduring" such a physical and mental epic. Modern technology would not allow the "Endurance" epic to unfold, the crew would be rescued within hours. Ernest Shackleton's tough physical ...             Cook This, Not That!: Kitchen Survival Guide David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding Rodale Books, 2009 Did you know the average dinner from a chain restaurant contains more than 1,200 calories and costs nearly $35 a person?
