Five Little Monkeys with Nothing to Do

Eileen Christelow

Clarion Books, 2000

I didn't know that boredom could be so hilarious
This book threw me into a laughing fit when I read it to Max in the children's books section of one of the large bookshops in Singapore (the perfect refuge on week-ends during the rainy winter season). Max is two and a half years old, and he is very tolerant of his ...

Nothing to Do, Nowhere to Go: Reflections on the Teachings of Zen Master Lin Chi

Thich Nhat Hanh

Parallax Press, 2007

The best
If one reads Thich Nhat Hanh's works extensively in Vietnamese, they'll know that he is a sharp scholar with a wide range of interests. In the West, most of his books are, however, from teaching lectures. And maybe he likes it that way too: down-to-earth, practical, ...

There's Nothing to Do on Mars

Chris Gall

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Robert Zubrin and Greg Klerkx take note, there IS hope for the future
While the other reviewers noted the charm of this book in general 'fun and nice for a child' ways, I have a different slant. Being a child of the Apollo days and growing up when the idea of going to another planet was the only thrill that could be imagined I've become ...

Ma! There's Nothing to Do Here! A Word from your Baby-in-Waiting (Picture Book)

Barbara Park

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2008

Catchy!
My two-year-old loves this book and often chooses it for one of her bedtime stories. It was a fun way for her to imagine what her brother-to-be was doing in my belly when I was expecting, and it continues to be a favorite story. There are a few words on each page ...

Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the ...

Dick Morris, Eileen Mcgann

Harper, 2008

Fleeced, Fileted and Forked ...
Once upon a time the image was easier to picture. A smooth-talking wise guy would suddenly appear at the office of a judge or a politician with an envelope stuffed with cash. A deal that couldn't be refused was offered and accepted. It was what it was, bribery ...

Nothing to Do But Stay

Carrie Young

University Of Iowa Press, 2000

Story-telling at its best
It often happens that our own stories are intimately entwined with someone else's story, and that to understand who we are, we have to tell another person's story first. This is true for Carrie Young, who has written a marvelous memoir of her mother. This warm, ...

The Lazy Way to Success: How to Do Nothing and Accomplish Everything

Fred Gratzon

Soma Press, 2003

delightful, beautiful book
I invited Fred Grazton on my radio show to talk about his book. When it arrived it, the first thing I noticed was how different it is from the many books I receive as a radio show host. First of all, it's a beautiful book, a high-quality coffee table-type book. ...

A lot of fun
