Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish

Excellent book
I read this book in one sitting and could not put it down. Of course dog lovers (like me) will love this book, however, I also gave it to my wife to read (who is not a dog lover) to give her insight on why I am so emotionally attached to my dogs. I think Levine is an excellent writer (even though I disagree with EVERY aspect of his politics) and I would highly recommend this book. I think this ...

Woolf in Her Prime
Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) was a well known writer, critic, feminist, and publisher. This was her fourth novel. I read her first novel "The Voyage Out" before buying the present book, then skipped her second novel - which is considered to be a flop - then read "Jacob's Room," her third, then "Mrs. Dalloway," her fourth, and then "To The Lighthouse." "The Voyage Out" is simple and ...

Jeannette Walls
Scribner
, 2006
a book of hope
A deeply moving, unforgettable memoir of a truly hard-scrabble life. What I admire most about this book is that Jeannette Walls never paints her family as victims. Nor does she portray her unbearably narcissistic parents as evil (even though it would certainly be easy to do so--her drunken father, her childlike mother. Oh, how I was enraged in the scene where the mother hides the candy bar she's ...
A Field Guide to the Birds of Eastern and Central North America
55 reviews
Houghton Mifflin

extremely helpful for the new birder
I have been watching the birds play around in my back yard all my life, but I am brand new at identifying them. It is much more challenging than I expected; I had no idea how many species there are or how complex their markings and other identifiers are. I've always considered myself to be a fairly quick learner, but bird watching nearly stumped me ... until I found this field guide. Those little ...

Great great book
This book is so good, my weak attempt at a review is not going to do it justice. But I'll try. I knew before I was half-way through that this is going to be a favorite and I plan to re-read it immediately. The writing is so fresh, the character studies so sharp, and the satire so relevant in today's increasingly bureaucratic (corporate) society, no wonder it was so hard for me to find a used ...

Virginia Woolf,

Harvest Books
, 1989
An insightful, sensitive reading.
The idea of Virginia Woolf's fiction being read aloud effectively has struck me as an impossibility. The very interiority of Woolf's style seemed to suggest that readers hear the narrative voice within themselves. This reading proves me dead wrong. Virginia Leishman's reading--and interpretation--added much to my passion for a novel I have always loved. Readers--and listeners--new to Virigina ...

I like Lonely Planet Guides - having enhanced holidays in places from Myanmar to Maine using them. The LP India is particularly useful for independent travellers.

What happens in Naples happens everywhere...
I was stationed in Naples from '91-'94. I roamed all over as military police. I saw corners of Naples that many Americans living there never even dream of visiting. My knowledge was based in hear-say though and I have now many years later begun to study the city and the country to better understand what I lived there. This book has been a real eye-opener. I suspect it is slightly sensationalistic ...

Great Novel
This book is incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you are a fan of virology, epidemiology, or just a book that you don't want to put down! I found myself unable to stop reading as the beginning really grabs you and pulls you in. It's incredibly interesting and the best part is it is based on true events, which I believe makes it much scarier/better. Overall, I believe ...

Excellent read - couldn't put it down!
I bought this book for my husband many months ago, and just picked it up from his shelf to look at as a summer read. After two chapters, I couldn't put it down! Very well written, interesting, entertaining, and I love the cliff-hanger end. My next read will be The Camel Club.

Real Food with History and Personality
Virginia Willis's "Bon Appetit Y'All" has become one of my favorite cookbooks because of its delicious and diverse selection of recipes. When you add the author's distinct personality and history, shown in her intros for each chapter and comments which accompany each recipe, you feel like you are cooking with a friend. Once you have tried some of these recipes you may think that each comes with ...
