The Innocent Man
John Grisham

Dell, 2007

Grishams best book
I've read this book twice now, and I'm still enamored with it. I found the characters interesting, and sad. The story was well told, and was an eye opener. What really gets me is that this book was a true story, and I feel horrible for the miscarriage of justice ...
  
  











  



  
Principles of Anatomy and Physiology
Gerard J. Tortora, Bryan H. Derrickson

Wiley, 2005

Superb text
After going about six years without reading a traditional anatomy and physiology text, I was surprised at the advanced level that this book has reached, as compared to the texts I read during the first few years of this decade. This book offers numerous resources, ...
  
  











  



  
On Call In Hell: A Doctor's Iraq War Story
Cdr. Richard Jadick, Thomas Hayden

NAL Hardcover, 2007

Dr. Jadick and his corpsmen are heroes that we can't thank enough!
I don't use the hero word lightly for good reason. There are way too many political pigs doing that nowadays. Dr. Jadick is a strong writer that guides the reader through the hardships that military personnel experienced first hand (this includes him as well)in the ...
  
  











  



  
Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army [Revised and Updated]
Jeremy Scahill

Nation Books, 2008

beware a privatized military
This book is delightful and informative reading. It is extremely well documented and current. I am very pleased by the author's expertise in informing me with this book about current attempts to privatize the US military. The reason my progress in this book is ...
  
  











  



  
Somewhere in Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve
Christopher Andersen

Hyperion, 2008

Heart-breaking tale of hope, inspiration and love
Christopher Reeve became the world's Superman, but his real-life struggle with spinal cord paralysis showed a strength far surpassing the comic book hero's, present both in him and his wife, Dana. Their stories, from their time of meeting to their reunion in heaven are ...
  
  











  



  
Richard Avedon: Photographs 1946-2004

Louisiana Museum Of Modern Art, 2007

Avedon's People
According to photographer Anthony Snowdon, a viewer, when looking at a picture, should not be able to tell who the photographer was. That may be true about his own photographs; he was wrong, however, when it comes to the work of Richard Avedon. Many of his photographs ...
  
  











  



  
Armed Madhouse: From Baghdad to New Orleans--Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild
Greg Palast

Plume, 2007

Hits on point for which the real arguments are commonly diverted from
To me, the two most important points of the book had little to do with the U.S. election. The first relates to Iraqi oil. The few remaining Bush apologists simplify the concept of "war for oil" to mean that if Americans aren't looting the oil and coming home with a ...
  
  











  



  
Mini Cooper Service Manual: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Cooper, Cooper S, including Convertible
Bentley Publishers

Bentley Publishers, 2007

Best manual written!
What more can I say, this is the best manual written. I have used many different types of manuals and this one is simply the best. Lots of great illustrations as well as some hard to find part numbers and error codes. A must have for the home mechanic.
  
  











  



  
Now I Can Die in Peace: How ESPN's Sports Guy Found Salvation, with a Little Help from Nomar, Pedro, ...
Bill Simmons

ESPN, 2006

If you have ever read Bill Simmons, it's a must read!
I have read some of the articles before but not many of them. But I have followed him on ESPN and he is one of the most entertaining sportswriters that I know. I don't even like the Red Sox because I'm an Oakland fan, but he does make it very enjoyable. Definitely ...
  
  











  



  
Toyota Prius Repair and Maintenance Manual: 2004-2008

Bentley Publishers, 2008

Just what the doctor ordered
Although I have only read, not actually had to use, this manual to fix a prius, it is very thoughtfully put together. There is a significant amount of hybrid technical training information which helps the owner or independent tech understand how the Prius hybrid ...
  
  











  



  
86 Years: The Legend of the Boston Red Sox
Melinda Boroson

Brown House Books, 2005

Aewesome Book!
Excellent book for any Red Sox fan young or old. Great story for the young, great nostalgia for the not-so-young! A must for any Bostonian!
  
  











  



  
Porsche Boxster Service Manual: 1997-2004 Boxster, Boxster S (Robert Bentley)

Bentley Publishers, 2005

Boxster Service Manual
This manual has everything a weekend tinkerer needs to keep their Porsche Boxster running in top condition. Manual is very well organized and easy to follow.
  
  











  



  
Spanking the Donkey: Dispatches from the Dumb Season
Matt Taibbi

Three Rivers Press, 2006

The most astute observations ever to emerge from a gorilla suit.
There's little I can offer that hasn't been said in other reviews here. But I want to add my voice to those championing Taibbi. Readers not paying attention might mistake his writing for sophomoric rant, but it's actually eloquent. Having read his book I read the ...
  
  











  



  
El Bulli 2003-2004
Ferran Adria, Juli Soler, ...

Ecco, 2006

Amazing journey
I'll start with a disclaimer - I am a hobbyist and not a prefessionally trained chef. Even if you are a very experienced hobbyist don't expect to be able to prepare more than 5-10% (or less) of the recipes in this book. This book is not a beginner or even an advanced ...
