"The Way We Live Now"
Most reviewers here and elsewhere have justly praised the verbal wit and irony which propel this work forward at an admirably breakneck speed. When, for instance, the author writes "the out-of-towner Sunday brunch was a bar mitzvah tradition that, while appearing ...
Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover
, 2003
Short, Sweet, and Accessible
At the heart of this book is the notion of "Moore's idea diffusion curve". It's just a bell-curve that shows innovators (sneezers), early adopters, early/late majority, and laggards. The central theme of the book is that you need to target the front of that curve by ...
The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968
Charles M. Schulz
Fantagraphics Books
, 2008
Keep 'Em Coming
It's getting harder and harder to come up with new things to say that will convey how much I enjoy reading these old Peanuts strips. This comes from a period where I am less familiar with the strips themselves, so there are some surprises for me. In this volume we ...
The Complete Peanuts 1967-1970 Box Set
Charles M. Schulz
Fantagraphics Books
, 2008
With intros by John Waters and Mo Willems! The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968 is a particularly Snoopy-heavy collection. In addition to seeing the beagle adopt multiple personas, this volume also sees the appearance of what would be Schulz's most controversial major character: Franklin. In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock ...

Excellent book for various skill-level users.
This book is easy to use both as a learning tool and a reference tool. The many examples provided give good background on the context of the desired function, and explicit, step-by-step instructions. The book has lots of "usage" suggestions.
Hiding in Plain Sight: The Secret Life of Raymond Burr
Michael Seth Starr
Applause Theatre and Cinema Books
, 2008
Out, Out!
This is the second star bio of a fat dead celeb I've read in a week: what with the new Chris Farley book maybe there's a new market for "husky guys." Raymond Burr gave a lot to the troops, including taking part in dozens of USO tours overseas. Starr claims that he ...

Stuck at the Bottom?
"Being the Best in the World Is Seriously Underrated" The Dip is a book dedicated to being the Best. Why settle at being anything else? The book also is very helpful in determining when to quit. Quitting is a part of a success time line. I have been in each of the ...
Children's Literature: A Reader's History from Aesop to Harry Potter
Seth Lerer
University Of Chicago Press
, 2008
Ever since children have learned to read, there has been children’s literature. Its history is inseparable from the history of childhood, as children are indelibly molded by the tales they hear and read—stories they will one day share with their own sons and daughters. Children’s Literature charts the makings of the Western ...
Permission Marketing : Turning Strangers Into Friends And Friends Into Customers
Seth Godin
Simon & Schuster
, 1999
Somewhat dated, but certainly an excellent read
Having been published in 1999, the book itself is a little dated. Despite that, this is a must read for anyone in the marketing business. The notion of permission marketing, especially in the context of the internet, is tremendously powerful. I think a few ...

Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover

I high-lighted almost the entire book

The Best Book on Leopard
The Mac OS X Leopard Bible is simply the best book available on Mac OS 10.5. Yes, it's better than Pogue's Missing Manual; the Bible is far more comprehensive, with more detailed information, and is therefore more useful in the real world. As a computer consultant ...
The Big Moo : Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable

Amazon Remainders Account
, 2005
Moo-licious
The Big Moo feels like a collection of blog posts from several thinkers that have gained Godin's attention, a merit which speaks for itself. I love the idea of forming books around small, cohesive articles based on a theme; I wish there were more of these. This one's ...
All Marketers Are Liars: The Power of Telling Authentic Stories in a Low-Trust World
Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover
, 2005
So THAT'S Why People Pay So Much For Starbuck's!
...It's the "Starbuck's Experience", not the coffee. Seth's written a very engaging book filled with some insightful observations about human behavior and why we buy the things we do. All in all, I found the book: *An easy read (I finished it in a few hours, and I'm ...
A Suitable Boy: A Novel (Perennial Classics)
Vikram Seth
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2005
Don't let the size of the book stop you!
This is my all time favorite novel! It's character development, humor, richness of the family situations, education about Indian culture - all of it has prompted me to re-read it 3 or 4 times and I can't wait until I forget it a bit so I can read it again!
