Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller--Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century

Exactly What The Title Claims

What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception
Scott McClellan
PublicAffairs, 2008
Fantastic Book
As someone who is left-leaning I tried to read this book without any preconceived notions. Mr. McLellan's book is an extremely well written history of what happened during his time working for George W. Bush. When there are facts to be presented, he presents them as ...

Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2002
Funny, strange, disturbing, good
This is the first Palahniuk book I've read, and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Based upon the description of the book, this isn't one that I'd likely pick up to read...the redemption/recovery/whatever you call it of a sex addict just didn't seem that ...

LOL
I laughed. Out loud. On an airplane reading this book. BTW... Also check out the interview he did with Jon Stewart about it. Hysterical.

The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism
Ron Suskind
Harper, 2008
The Personal Effects of the War on Terror
Loved this book. It really tells the personal side of the "War on Terror". It shows how it affects people from the President to trial lawyers trying to defend an "enemy combatant" at Guantanamo Bay. It also shows the differences culturally and communication wise ...

The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court
Jeffrey Toobin
Doubleday, 2007
Well written story of fascinating people
Of the three branches of government, far less is known about the inner-workings of the judiciary-and most specifically the Supreme Court-than the other two branches. Much of this is due to traditions that have developed over the years, but much is innate in the ...

The Yacoubian Building: A Novel
Alaa Al Aswany
Harper Perennial, 2006
Read in one day!
I resisted this book for a long time. I heard negative and positive things about it. Then the movie or series came out and again I heard negative and positive things.
I am an Egyptian living in the US. I am specializing in Middle Eastern Studies. My sister sent me ...

T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Sue Grafton
Putnam Adult, 2007
Grafton Is Back!
I loved this newest tale in the Kinsey Millhone series. Like a lot of readers, I had begun to think Sue Grafton had run her course and couldn't come up with anything exciting and new. Trespass was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I sincerely hope the rest of the ...

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
Brian Greene
Vintage, 2000
Excellent resource for the layman....
Don't know much about new physics? This is stuff I didn't get the first time around--they weren't discussing it back then since all of us were running from the dinosaurs....
Anyway, Greene has a good descriptive edge that will keep you reading even if the subject ...

Vanishing Acts: A Novel
Jodi Picoult
Washington Square Press, 2005
Amazing
This is a great book, it is the kind of book you don't want to put down. I like how there are several turns in the book, just when you have made up your mind about a character something new comes along to give you a new perspectve.
