Don't drool over this ;-)
O.M.G!! This book is fantastic. I myself have a major sweet tooth and love love love chocolate. I stumbled across this book by accident and I'm so glad I did. I can't believe the writers name is Steve Almond. He has visited many many candy factories across the country and learned things about long forgotten candy brands and products. It's actually surprisingly interesting and really ...

Entertaining, but Unrelatable
While this book was funny, but I totally couldn't relate. This book is a light read, good for airports, etc.

Jon Hotten

Mainstream Publishing, 1999

Engaging study of the hidden side of boxing & boxers.
Full of intriguing tales and characters, "Unlicensed" is a great read for anyone interested in boxing... and for those who aren't, really. More than a study of boxing, it is a study of the men who look to it for direction. Primarily focused on England's underground boxing scene (but with peeks into Vegas, Tyson, and the indomitable Don King), this book takes the reader from pub to pub to ...

I couldn't put it down
Wow, what a great book. Light reading for a Sunday morning - so good I couldn't put it down. From an explanation of how the Microsoft Windows start-up tune was invented to Dominos Pizza doing marketing research by collecting tons of crumbs from computer keyboards. This is a fascinating book. I really couldn't put it down once I got started. I fully expect to see the author on David Letterman ...

Brings Back Memories
It has been over 20 years since I worked in the restaurant business, but reading Bourdain's book brought back a lot of memories of what the business and the many characters who inhabit it are like. I found Bourdain's book to be very entertaining and reflects much of what I remember about the world of food preparation and service. Bourdain's management style is quite different from my own and I ...

Trumbull Higgins.

NY: 1968 1st ed. 275p., 1968

Command-level view of the Med/Italian Campaign
Trumbull Higgins' "Soft Underbelly" is a relatively solid, if sometimes rambling and laced with stereotypically British literary pretentiousness, examination of the Mediterranean Campaign in World War II. Published in 1968, this is neither the first nor last of the books dedicated to this portion of the war. Higgins' title comes from the oft repeated (in one form or another) of Winston ...

Sweeeet!
I flipped through my teachers book and he brought up a number of concerns in education. I thought it was very interesting to see my favorite teachers input on education today.
