Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
John O'Donohue
Harper Collins, 1998
anam cara
This book was written with wisdom and love. I had to read a little at a time and let the words settle. I bought 10 books to give as Christmas gifts to give to people who mean much to me.

Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak
Harper Collins, 1988
"And it was still Hot!"
The last line in this great book is "...and it was still hot", and it is!
I first read this book in a Children's Literature class in college (which was taught by our county's wonderful head Children's Librarian); I used it for my picture book presentation. I later ...

Beethoven: The Universal Composer (Eminent Lives)
Edmund Morris
Harper Collins, 2005
Best Beethoven biography available
Unlike other books by Mr. Morris, this accurate biography of Beethoven's life is based on fact instead of vivid recreation of fiction. This book is poignant and very descriptive and goes as far as updating facts about Beethoven's life (based on serious and ardouos ...

Angels
Marian Keyes
Harper Collins, 2004
A great Keyes novel...as usual!
I read Angels some time ago, and I loved how Marian Keyes brought me into a world that came to life before my reading eyes.

Last Chance Saloon
Marian Keyes
Harper Collins, 2003
My favorite Keyes book yet!
I enjoy Irish fiction, and since discovering Marian Keyes, I've read all of her books about the Walsh sisters and most of her others as well. In fact, when I stumbled across Last Chance Saloon, I was surprised to find that there was a novel of hers I had missed. ...

Conamara Blues: Poems
John O'donohue
Harper Collins, 2001
Deceptive Simplicity
At first glance, John O'Donohue's poetry appears simple. That deception is largely due to its brevity and form. Yet it is complex with tiered symbolism. As is frequently the case with poetry, the reader may not "get it" first time through but these verses are worth a ...

American Soldier
General Tommy Franks, Malcolm McConnell
Regan Books/Harper Collins, 2004
Great if you know what you're getting
I will admit my bias - I am a huge "fan" of General Franks. This book is about his life, his perspectives and experiences. There is a ton of stuff we'd never get to know about if it weren't for this book. One thing I admired most was his professionalism in writing it. ...
