I absolutely loved it and have tried to convince everyone I know to read it. This is a must have. JUST PLAIN GOOD!!             A Million Little Pieces James Frey Anchor, 2005 saved my life I wrote a review years ago after I read this book. Still today, regardless of all the notoriety, I give thanks to James for writing this book. Unless someone has walked in the shoes of very early sobriety and recovery from drug addiction as well as alcohol abuse ...             Love in the Time of Cholera (Oprah's Book Club) Gabriel Garcia Marquez Vintage, 2007 A story of love and life... Have you ever "carried a torch" for someone or knew someone who did? This book explores taking this type of an obsession to new extremes.

Butler Beacon Press, 2004 An Excellent Introduction to this Writer Unfortunately, this inspired writer recently died. I encourage ALL to review her works. This novel was my introduction to Octavia E. Butler, and I would advise any enthusiasts of speculative and science fiction to investigate it, and her multiple works!             Stumbling on Happiness Daniel Gilbert Vintage, 2007 Stumbled On A Great Book Of the many books that I have on my shelves, this one is in heavy rotation. I have read it twice in the past 18 months and referred to it countless times in between. Dan Gilbert's writing style keeps you engaged with humor and relevant stories without skimping on too ...             Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books Azar Nafisi Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003 Absolutely not politically correct The author was a specialist for Western literature in the Iran of the Islamic Republic. That was of course a no-no and she lost her university job in 1995. Before finally emigrating to the US (where she is now probably a suspect as a sleeper of some kind), she did a ...             The Five People You Meet in Heaven Mitch Albom Hyperion, 2003 Fantastic Book I absolutely loved this book. Mitch Albom is a fantastic writer. You will not be able to put this book down. I must read.             The God of Small Things Arundhati Roy Harper Perennial, 1998 Non linear chronology a bit frustrating, but it works Written in a non-linear sequence of events, this book truly frustrated me. After the first read, I understood it (as we were suppose to) and if I were inclined to, I would read it a second time and go "oooh." I give it four stars mainly because of my personal taste ...             Halftime: Changing Your Game Plan from Success to Significance Bob Buford Zondervan, 1997 This book hit home! When I decided to take an early retirement from my company of 30+ years, a friend recommended that I read this book. I couldn't believe how it hit the mark with me. Granted, I am what I would consider to be a 'spiritual person', but aside from that, Buford really hit ...             The Gold-Bug and Other Tales (Dover Thrift Editions) Edgar Allan Poe Dover Publications, 1991 Nine Great Tales by the Master of the Macabre America was a young country; its age was measured in decades.

In fact, it is the first book my son read. *sniff* I'm so proud. :-) The sentences are short and the pictures hint at what the words may be. I would recommend this to all parents who are helping their children learn to read.             The Reality Bug (Pendragon Series #4) D. J. MacHale Aladdin, 2003 Awesome! This book seemed just a tad bit dreary as far as the world goes but nonetheless it was a totally great read!             Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software Scott Rosenberg Three Rivers Press, 2008 Best book ever about what software development is REALLY like I just finished reading an amazing book: "Dreaming in Code" by Scott Rosenberg. Like many good, recent non-fiction books, it alternates between a specific narrative with colorful real people, and general background information. In this case, it's the story of Chandler, ...          products you might be interested in search for books bluestreak, programmers, significance, step-into-reading, stumbling, transcendent      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter - Criterion Collection
