Maria Shriver
Hyperion, 2008
A Delightful Little Book
When I saw Maria Shriver interviewed about this book, I immediately identified with her identity struggle. I went through much the same when my last child married and moved out. Who am I, really, if not defined by those around me?
This book speaks to all of us who ...

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Mo Willems
Hyperion Press, 2003
Great Book
My 2 year old really likes this book. We have actually purchased a few other pigeon books, but this is our favorite. The humor might be aimed at an older age group, but our 2 year old enjoys the funny voices we add to the story. This is a fun book to read outloud.

Kabat-Zinn & Tolle

Damn, it Feels Good to Be a Banker: And Other Baller Things You Only Get to Say If You Work On Wall Street
Leveraged Sellout
Hyperion, 2008
=IF(1+1=2,DIFGTBAB>BIBLE,0)
I'm still trying to discern what the funniest aspect of this book is. Is it the blatant elitism/classicsm? Perhaps. Is it Wall Street's misogyny and generalizations of foreigners? There's definitely something there. Perhaps its LSO's ability to apply banker-speak and ...

A longer tale for The Long Tail - the new marketing chapter adds real value.
