Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter

Hyperion, 2007

The Future of Tommorow - Highly Recommended!
Marshall Goldsmith illustrates the concept of focusing the mind on positive ways of thinking. He has provided "20 annoying habits". He has written how they need to be "eliminated"; until your thoughts have been clearly defined. As a reader, I can relate to most of ...

Where There Is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook

Jane Maxwell, Carol Thuman, ...

Hesperian Foundation, 1992

Where There Is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook
This book was designed for primitive health care. It isn't set up to turn the layman into a surgeon. For what it is; it does an excellent job. A huge block of it has little use here in the states, but there is at least one good tip on every page. Once you move ...

Sloane Crosley

Riverhead Trade, 2008

Just Browsing

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

Chelsea Handler

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008

It's Laugh Out Loud Funny
A really funny, quick read. Some of it was a little over the top, but definitely entertaining and worth it. I listened to it on audio, and Chelsea's voice cracked me up. She sounded just like a good friend of mine, and it was like I was listening to her go through ...

Karen Gravelle, Nick Castro, ...

Walker Books for Young Readers, 1998

Just what I needed!
My son went through puberty early (10), and was too embarrassed to talk about anything. I gave him the book. He read it (he hid it, so I have no idea when he would sneak a peak!), and then when I would bring up things, he already knew about them, or would finally ask ...

The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins

Houghton Mifflin, 2006

A Book for Every Thinking Person's "Must Read" List
One will readily expect the perceptions and reviews of Richard Dawkins' THE GOD DELUSION to fall along what might euphemistically be called "party lines." Blue Staters, rationalists, and the college educated (especially in mathematics, engineering, the sciences, and ...

Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon

Daniel C. Dennett

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Fills a niche.
In the God Delusion, Dawkins makes an argument against religion and articulates what he believes to be scientific theories that prove god does not exist. In God Isn't Great, Hitchens gives what reads more like an indictment of organized religion throughout history and ...

Joel Osteen

FaithWords, 2007

An Absolute Must Read!
Over the last few years (this year in particular), my soul has been on a search for something. As a result, I've read so many books I could not even begin to list them all. To make a long story short, this book is by far on #1 on my list and as I've said--that would ...

If There Be Dragons

Kay Hooper

Bantam, 2008

if there be dragons
I enjoyed this light romance with a touch of the physic thrown in. Good entertainment, you don't have to think about it or look for deeper meanings in it. I have enjoyed all the Kay Hooper books I've read and am looking forward to reading more of her stories.
