White Longman, 1999 Great Reference THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE is a great little pocket reference for all writers (creative, essay, or nonfiction). What is most amazing is how it consolidates a wealth of information into accessible, bite-size chapters that are easy to search on and then easy to comprehend. The sections that I have found the most helpful are: 1) Verb Subject Agreement for the exceptions, "one of" and "each and ...             Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your ...477 reviews Peter J. D'Adamo Putnam Adult, 1996 Awesome for those seeking such a diet I really enjoy this book because it's a natural way for me to keep weight off without having to try a crazy crash diet or exclude foods that I enjoy. Moderation is the key!             Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions39 reviews Christian Lander Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008 Best read out loud with another while pretending... ...you are an anthropologist who, with the utmost seriousness and clarity, is presenting a research paper that describes the native habits, predispositions and spiritual foundations of a recently discovered tribe of white humans, who habitate the bi-coastal urban US (and big cities in Western Europe). Great gift for liberal elites who still have a sense of humor, rare as that might be.             The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-200820 reviews Bob Woodward Simon & Schuster, 2008 An insider's view First, the book is long and tedious, but Woodward's details are thorough and intense, which is important considering the historical significance of this book. Some might disagree with his representation of the material, but it's virtually indisputable that there was conflict in the oval office about how to proceed in Iraq and it's certainly important to understand in light of what came of the ...             Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making20 reviews Paul D. Kimmel, Jerry J. Weygandt, ... Wiley, 2006 Excellent Book This is an excellent book. Each chapter starts with a real life example of the learning objectives that will be covered in the chapter. The concepts are explained in terms that are easy to understand and grasp. There are a variety of problems at the end of each chapter to reinforce the learning objectives. I would recommend this book to anybody who has little knowledge of accounting or ...             A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive1924 reviews Dave Pelzer HCI, 1995 "It" review The book was for my daughter. It arrived quickly and she didn't put it down until she was finished. Transaction went very smoothly.             The Giver3080 reviews Lois Lowry Laurel Leaf, 2002 A Realistic Utopia This book sets the stage for a utopian society, and it's very believable. Who's to say that this couldn't really happen sometime in the future? However, what I really liked about this book, is that once Jonas found himself, he wasn't afraid to take action and stand up for what he knew was right. Loved it. The first time I read it was the sixth grade, and I still enjoy it. It's one of my ...             Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who ...180 reviews Ron Hall, Denver Moore Thomas Nelson, 2008 Awesome read!!

The 1891 World's Fair was America's coming out party...             The Great Gatsby1130 reviews F. Scott Fitzgerald Scribner, 1999 Classic romance and tale of a man who isn't exactly what he seems Set in the Roarin' Twenties, this unforgetable classic is a romance as well as the story of Jay Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald told the story in a unique way, through the voice of Nick Carraway, an impartial aquaintace of both Gatsby and Daisy. Details of the golden era come alive in vivid descriptions of fashion, music, and decor, carrying the reader back to a time of bootleg liquor and the ...             What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception187 reviews Scott McClellan PublicAffairs, 2008 What Happened The book is much better than any of the political commentaries made when it was first released. Strongly suggest reading it -- whether one is a confirmed Democrat (as I am) or a devoted Republican.             Sail130 reviews James Patterson, Howard Roughan Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Snakes, Sharks and an Exploding Boat Katherine Dunne lost her husband four years earlier to a scuba diving accident. Eleven months ago she married a shark of man, Attorney Peter Caryle. Carlyle is after Kathy's dough and he doesn't want to wait for it. To that end he employs Gerard Devoux, a sailboat savvy hitman to smooth his way to all that cash. Katherine feels she's going bonkers, her oldest, eighteen-year-old Yalie freshman ...             Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning333 reviews Jonah Goldberg Doubleday, 2008 A review of "Liberal Fascism" Fascism has historically been associated with the Right, meaning an Authoritarian system of government, acting in league with corporations. In this excellent book, Jonah Goldberg examines how, in modern practice, Fascism has become a product of the New Left. This is an extremely well written and scholarly book, and I think it should be required reading for all Political Science majors. While I am ...             The White Tiger: A Novel16 reviews Aravind Adiga Free Press, 2008 Cool Cube Ice-cube of a book; rolls nicely and relaxes, melts cool and satisfies at several levels. Cuts deep into a complex Indian society and tries to make sense of the apparent mess. Time to break free of the Rooster Coop!             Suite Francaise368 reviews Irene Nemirovsky Vintage, 2007 Suite Francaise It is a shame we will never be able to read the entire body of work Irene Namirovske had planned. I enjoyed reading the first two parts and also felt the two appendices were valuable. The first indicated Namirovsky's plan for her 5 part Suite. The second were the frantic and poignant letters that were sent in a vain attempt to save her life.             The Scarlet Letter10 reviews Nathaniel Hawthorne Pocket, 2004 A true classic for me I was always skeptical when teachers used the term "classic" when referring to a book. It always seemed to me to be a term to describe books I had to read that were going to suck. The Scarlet Letter was a happy exception; one that actually has meaning today as it did when written. I really enjoy historical fiction. Hawthorne easily puts a reader into the time period by laying out the facts of ...             Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition29 reviews Br Alberts, Dennis Bray, ... Garland Science/Taylor & Francis Group, 2003 Great Product Product arrived in perfect condition. Fast shipping, would do business with again! Haven't read the book yet though... haha             Ted, White, and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto Ted Nugent Regnery Publishing, 2008 Straight from the Motor-City Madman comes the wildest, most politically incorrect book yet. In The Nugent Manifesto , rocker/hunter extraordinaire Ted Nugent is taking aim and setting his sights on our country. In his trademark unapologetic style, Nugent will praise God, guns, and red-blooded, full-throated Americanism against pantywaist politicians, nanny-state judges, and tofu-eating Obamamaniacs, calling on readers to "Roll up your damn ...             Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith722 reviews Jon Krakauer Anchor, 2004 Meticulously researched and well presented There are far better and longer reviews than mine posted here, so I hesitated to even attempt one. However, I've traveled to many of the places described in Jon's book, including Separation Canyon (within the Grand Canyon) and Colorado City, long before the Fundamentalist LDS Church became one of the latest media targets. Jon's book is very well researched, with first-person accounts, ...             His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage207 reviews Willard F.
