Queen Mary 2: The Greatest Ocean Liner of Our Time

John Maxtone-Graham

Bulfinch, 2004

Fantastic book
This is a great book for anyone who is interested in cruising, as well as anyone who is interested in wonderfully engineered machines. We hope to go on the Queen Mary 2 someday, and having read the book will make the experience all the better!

Quiet Moments With God

Lloyd John Ogilvie

Harvest House Publishers, 2001

A Wonderful Start for the Day
Quiet Moments with God was recommended to me by a friend and I didn't really expect a whole lot but have been so pleasantly surprised. It's a thoughtful, spiritual way to start the day...and lasts all the day through too! I really like it.

The Meaning of Liff

Douglas Adams, John Lloyd

Pan Books, 1983

Now my liff has a real meaning!!!
(Attention, if not warning: this comment contains two or so profanities. When confronted with them, just block your eyes then, eh??! OK, great!!:) I've tried 'em all, Webster's, Oxford's, Cambridge's, but none of those dictionaries ever really made sense to me. I mean, ...

Rhett Butler's People

Donald McCaig

Macmillan Audio, 2007

Best book about Rhett and Scarlett since Gone With The Wind
It is no wonder why it took so long to get this book created and why Margaret Mitchell's people chose McCaig to write this book, it is every bit what I would want in a book about Rhett and Scarlett. I read Alexandra Ripley's Scarlett and was greatly disappointed in ...

The Book of General Ignorance

John Mitchinson, John Lloyd

Harmony, 2007

The best I've seen so far
This is probably the best of the many trivia books I've seen. It seems every week there's a new one on the market, and many of them are quite good, but this one stands head and shoulders above the competition. It's by far the most entertaining, funny, and interesting ...

Short Quck Laughs

Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance

Atul Gawande

Macmillan Audio, 2007

"When the stakes are our lives...we want no one to settle for average."
Atul Gawande, in "Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance," asks, "What does it take to be good at something in which failure is so easy?" When someone's well-being is at stake, is mere competence enough? The author maintains that a great deal more is needed "to ...

Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done

Random House Audio, 2002

Linking people, strategy, and operations.
The premise of the book is this: "Execution is not just tactics - it is a discipline and a system. It has to be built into a company's strategy, its goals, and its culture. And the leader of the organization must be deeply engaged in it." The authors define ...

Blue Heaven

C.J. Box

Macmillan Audio, 2008

Excellent Story
The plot is not overly complicated--not if you're used to reading mysteries with more depth that Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys. My book had excellent print quality, which leads me to believe the person with the badly printed book should have exchanged it for a good ...

The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour: Unabridged Selections from The Frontier Stories: Volume I ...

Louis L'Amour

Random House Audio, 2003

I Just Love These Stories
My grandpa used to read these to me when I was in gradeschool from old-fashioned looking books that he had a lot of. He always wanted to read me a whole novel, but I was never visiting long enough so he read me stories and some of the ones I still remember all these ...

Drafted in 1942, Malarkey arrived at Taccoa Camp in Georgia and was the 1 in 6 soldiers who ...

Stuff Happens (and then you fix it!): 9 Reality Rules to Steer Your Life Back in the Right Direction

John Alston, Lloyd Thaxton

Wiley, 2003

Folks, THIS is the most EFFECTIVE book I've EVER read! You can't go WRONG with it!
Lloyd, your book is nothing short of amazing! Lighthearted, but targeted to anyone who really needs to get it all in gear and GO! My fave book, for years, has been Dr. Schwartz's "The Magic Of Thinking Big," but your book, to me, is even BETTER! THANKS!! To ...

The Man From Snowy River

Movie Rating
These movies were a good deal to buy together. But as a Christian I was shocked at the Cuss words in Mrs. Doubtfire. I won't let my children watch it anymore and I had forgotten How God's name is taken in vain. The Man From Snowy River was great. The night we ...

City of Night (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book 2)

Dean Koontz, Ed Gorman

Random House Audio, 2005

I can't wait for the final book!
All we have to say is WOW! Once again, as with Odd Thomas, Koontz has kept the characters 'alive' and make this series more readable than ever! The superb repartee between the characters is amazing and utterly believable. Great stuff once again and eagerly ...
