Good

Sara Gruen

Algonquin Books, 2007

This rube was hooked
As an animal-lover and not a fan of the circus, I felt a little wary of the setting and subject matter when beginning to listen to the unabridged audio version of WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. But soon I was totally hooked by the two narrators, young and old voices of Jacob, ...

The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition

Graduate Management Admission Council, 2005

Absolutely must have this
This is some fantastic prep material. There are a few typos and there's some overlap between this book and the GMATPrep software. However, neither are showstoppers and I believe this is the only prep book with actual questions from previous tests so it doesn't get any ...

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 ...

The Kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead Trade, 2004

a must read
tears and laughter during this read as well as empathy and disgust with the main character

Remember Me?

Sophie Kinsella

The Dial Press, 2008

Won't let you down.
Yes, this book may have been predictable to a certain extent (the ending is, but I do not believe the middle is at all unless you are Sophie K). I must say that in the past I have not enjoyed every single one of her books, but when I read the inside cover of this one I ...

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 ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

A most necessary book
If you learn nothing else from this book, just remember that the Nazis and the Communists were not at the opposite ends of the spectrum from one another. They were both Socialists; the Nazis practiced a Nationalist version, while the Communists were ...

Certain Girls: A Novel

Jennifer Weiner

Atria, 2008

A well-written and absorbing tale...just not a true sequel to "Good in Bed"
Jennifer Weiner's "Certain Girls" picks up with Cannie Shapiro 13 years after her story leaves off in Weiner's "Good in Bed." Cannie is now happily married to her former diet doctor, Peter Krushelevansky, and the two of them are living in Philadelphia raising Cannie's ...

The Secret

Rhonda Byrne

Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006

Listen to It Daily
Loved the book so I bought the CD version. I listen to it daily which along with the workbook Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbookreally keeps me focused and on track. I've never been happier.

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

Jim Collins

Collins, 2001

Who is on your Bus?
This is one of the most quotable books around. There are excellent tidbits, which can be applied to everyday business. For example, Right people on the bus, Hedgehog concept, Level 5 leadership....a dabbling for everyone to enjoy and quote.

Goodnight Moon

Margaret Wise Brown

HarperFestival, 1991

Good might moon
I first purchased this book 36 years ago for my son; recently bought this new copy for my future grandson--I'm hoping it will be his favorite as it was his father's. It is such a delightful story and a great nightime read before bed.

Crazy Good: The True Story of Dan Patch, the Most Famous Horse in America

Charles Leerhsen

Simon & Schuster, 2008

A must read for anyone
This is some book and some story! It is a must read for the harness racing fan, but it is also a must read for the marketing student, the electronic media executive, and for anyone who likes a great biography. Leehrsen writes so well, the story reaches out to ...

Feeling Good
This is one of the best books written for individuals suffering from anxiety and depression who are looking for tools that the can use daily to help themselves feel better. The author, who is a psychiatrist, is a pioneer in the field of cognitive behavioral therapy. ...

Catch-22

Joseph Heller

Simon & Schuster, 1996

One of, if not the, funniest book(s) ever written!
Other people have written much better, and more detailed, reviews of this book, but its true hilarity and power (which I have heard is quite different than the movie, which I've never seen so can't comment on) simply need to be experienced. Some of the imagery is ...

Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD

Daniel G. Amen

Berkley Trade, 2002

With Understanding, There Can Be Hope, Even with ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, ADHD, runs in my family somewhat. In my wife's family it can be a run away train. For me, it's one of those things that can mess your life up, if you let it. However, in my case, it was only after I was 46 that I realized that ...
