People of the Book: A Novel

Geraldine Brooks

Viking Adult, 2008

a book to be read twice
No spoiler here...I loved the book! I think it is a book to be read twice. It is like a "nested doll"; each segment is built on the one that follows. But, it goes backwards. The story begins with Hanna who is hired to preserve the Sarajevo Haggaadah. She ...

Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story

David Einhorn

Wiley, 2008

A Super Investment Read
I have not read an investment related book since Liar's Poker which I wanted to keep reading and finish in a single day. I liken this book to Michael Lewis' work only in that it will likely stand as equally as much of a "must read," however one important distinction ...

Raven Rise (Pendragon)

D. J. MacHale

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008

Just what I wanted- Not what I expected
The last 3 to 4 chapters of this book are the best of the whole series. Honestly, this book, if you've read the past ones, is a must read. There isn't an introduction of a whole lot of information but there are times in the book where new things are learned. You'll ...

First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently

More Profound than its Title Suggests
You can't take the title seriously (some Amazon reviewers do). The book is about what Gallup has found makes effective managers of people during its research for various clients over 10+ years. The central theme is that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Nothing ...
