Amazing

Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

MUCH better than 'Eldest', MUCH more like 'Eragon'!!!
'Brisingr" is MUCH better written than 'Eldest'. Although I still feel that 'Eldest' was a good read, I felt 'Eldest' was written more by the editors, than by Paolini, so therefore, less of Paolini's "soul" came through. I was almost tempted to not buy 'Brisingr', ...

Randy Pausch, Jeffrey Zaslow

Hyperion, 2008

The Shack
One of the best books I have read in the last 10 years! A must for anyone who has ever wondered about God.

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Breakthrough Program for Conquering Anxiety, Depression, ...

Daniel G. Amen

Three Rivers Press, 1999

Fabulous book
This is a most helpful book. It is the only real help I have found on a most complex and difficult subject. What a revelation to find useful information for a lay person to use to help themselves and loved ones. His ideas are simply explained and extremely useful and, ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

From A Man Who Has Read 'Twilight'
For many reasons I banned reading this book. Working in retail with teenie girls barraging the bookstands demanding for the next Stephanie Meyer book was just annoying and made me believe these books were meant for the intelligently-deficient. A friend online said I ...

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel

David Wroblewski

Ecco, 2008

Possibly the best book I've ever read...
I recently took this book on vacation with me after hearing it was an Oprah's pick. I don't get to read a lot but when I do, I expect the book to be excellent. This one exceeded my expectations. I absolutely devoured this book in just a few days, and was begging for ...

Loving Frank: A Novel

Nancy Horan

Ballantine Books, 2008

Loving This
Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio in Oak Park is on a spacious street that boasts several of his houses, two blocks from where I grew up. That street never loses its charm, though I've walked down it many times. Next door to my family lived a Frank Lloyd Wright ...

The Host: A Novel

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The Host
Dear Stephenie Meyer, When I was first considering reading The Host I was reluctant. I was a pessimist thinking about how it wasn't emotionally possible to be as good as your Twilight series. That the writing that made me love the impossible romance where vampires ...

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

2nd book in the series
I loved the book because it just continued the story for me. I love Bella and Edward together and in this book it is more of Bella and Jacob. Bella can't get over that Edward left her because it was for her own good. He was afraid she was going to get hurt, but of ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Get Over It
Ok so my sissy got me hooked on the twilight series and I am so in love with them. When I was going to buy the 4th book I was reading the reviews and was very disappointed when everyone was bashing the book as terrible. It is in no way terrible it is awesome! It was ...

Untamed: A House of Night Novel (House of Night Novels)

PC Cast, Kristin Cast

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

A must read series!
I am really loving The House of Night series! Untamed was such a page turner and the ending was truly intense. I cant wait to read the next book in this series.

When You Are Engulfed in Flames

David Sedaris

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

LOL
I laughed. Out loud. On an airplane reading this book. BTW... Also check out the interview he did with Jon Stewart about it. Hysterical.

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

Chelsea Handler

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008

It's Laugh Out Loud Funny
A really funny, quick read. Some of it was a little over the top, but definitely entertaining and worth it. I listened to it on audio, and Chelsea's voice cracked me up. She sounded just like a good friend of mine, and it was like I was listening to her go through ...

The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, Book 6)

Eoin Colfer

Hyperion Books for Children, 2008

This is my favorite of the series
I've read that male writers tend to be more plot based and female writers more character based. Every time I read a book I've been noticing that this statement is true. Women writers portray more emotion in their characters and this is what makes them so interesting. ...

The Book Thief

Markus Zusak

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

engrossing
The is probably one of the best books I have ever read in my like. The author has struck up a methodology of writing that is very unique and as such is very captivating. It's a book about a subject - death - done in such a way that the reader will never forget the ...
