Day

1984 (Signet Classics)

George Orwell

New American Library, 1961

A must read!!
There are alot of idiots floating around out there that don't see the potential pitfalls of giving the Federal government expanded powers. If you are one of these folks, please read this book. The work is relatively short but the lesson that it gives is powerful. I ...

End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World

Sylvia Browne

Dutton Adult, 2008

Review of End of Days
This book has too much filler, not enough words from Sylvia Browne about End of Days and predictions for the next 92 yrs. She discusses crazy cult leaders Like David Koresh,Manson.etc which have nothing to do with End of Days. She also quotes other philosophers who ...

The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America

Thurston Clarke

Henry Holt and Co., 2008

The Wound
What was there about this intense, brave, confused, very funny, and very tender-hearted campaign - one that lasted a mere 82 days - that haunts us more than ever after 40 years? Why is it impossible to see even a glimpse of Robert Kennedy on TV without feeling, in ...

Escape

Carolyn Jessop, Laura Palmer

Broadway, 2007

Loved it!
I LOVED this book. I ordered it after seeing her appear on Oprah. I couldn't put this book down. Carrolyn really goes into alot of detail about her marriage, and her life in general growing up on a compound. I didn't know much about polgamy before I read Carrolyn's ...

The Secret Life of Bees

Sue Monk Kidd

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003

Best Book I've Ever Read!!!!
I recommend this book to anyone! It had amazing characters and well developed plots and subplots. The writing alone will keep you entertained, while the moral of the story unravels at its core, teaching you that people have more to offer than you think and you realize ...

The Garden of Last Days: A Novel

Andre Dubus III

W. W. Norton, 2008

Magnificent Journey Into Understanding
THe Garden of Last Days is a spectacular journey into the humanity behind the headlines. We don't often want to open our hearts to the inner psyche of those we've already judged as evil. We tend to take offense to lifestyles we, ourselves, consider immoral or weak. I ...

The Match
Another great book by Mark Frost. The Match ranks right up there with Mr Frosts other book "The Greatest Game Ever Played".This book gives wonderful historical perspective on golf in the Monteray Bay area.

Excellent Book.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting and at times funny. I did not want to put it down. However, if you are looking for a get rich quick idea or scheme, it is not in this book. Also, if you are not interested in real estate, you may not like this ...

The Dangerous Book for Boys

Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden

Collins, 2007

The way things used to be
Many, many years ago boys were taught this kind of stuff by their father's and their father's fathers. Boys are no longer introduced to this kind of helpful information. This book is beyond a helpful guide to knot tying and history. It is a well rounded piece of ...

Book from Sex and the City Movie
I just ordered the book. I think this is the book from the new Sex and the City Movie. It looks romantic. **UPDATE** Got the book. Has the same love letters as the movie! Great book!

Days of Infamy

Newt Gingrich, William R. Forstchen

Thomas Dunne Books, 2008

Gripping
As a long-time WWII buff, I found this a great read. Even better, the authors had a good knowledge of the ships and planes used in the battle. Most of the book focuses on the battles, and the details used were just right. One of the best fiction books I've read in a ...

Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!)
Douglas Brown

Crown, 2008

Outside of her family and close friends, Annie had not mentioned the sexathon to anybody, which probably was the best way to go. I, however, had blathered on about the endeavor to anybody with ears. It was the whole Heisman Trophy thing. On this, my first day back in the office after kicking off the sexpedition, my boss blushed when she saw me. ...

90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life

Don Piper, Cecil Murphey

Revell, 2004

90 minutes in heaven
I found Don's book very rivoting. A similar thing happened to me and truly know what he went through. What bothered me was the editing sloppyness, where sentances were broken up badly, and few new sentances began with a capital letter. I'm detail oriented and ...
