This book is awesome. Johnny G's baby!
I laughed, and I cried. This book is so good that I may actually keep it instead of taking it back for store credit.
The Wordy Shipmates

Riverhead Hardcover

Another bullseye from Sarah Vowell
This was a great read and I have come to expect nothing less from Sarah Vowell. She makes history come alive like a more sarcastic version of Stephen Ambrose or a civil war reenactment. Like her other books, this book will make you laugh and learn simultaneously. I ...

Wonderful family, great read...
I have faithfully watched Jon & Kate Plus Eight since it started, and I loved this book. If you like the show, you will like the book. No, there is not a bunch of surprising new information about the family...they have never been ones to hide things about ...
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2007
This book is so damn funny!
I was dubious about this book, but I needed something not too demanding to make it through jury duty. I sat in a crowded room for two hours next to a fidgeting, groaning woman with halitosis and I hardly even noticed. Elizabeth Gilbert can write. I'm going to read ...
