Teacher Man: A Memoir

Frank McCourt

Scribner, 2005

Third times the Charm...
I don't believe there can be much more to be said about the Charms of Frank McCourt. Even when he is divulging his shortcomings, his wit and bare-knuckled honesty draw you in. "Teacher Man" is, to me, quite different than his previous two works, but completely ...

Through the Grinder (Coffeehouse Mysteries, No. 2)

Cleo Coyle

Through the Grinder
Great easy reading mystery book. Characters are interesting and the "who done it" is not easily guessed until the author wants the reader to know.

On What Grounds (Coffeehouse Mysteries, No. 1)

Cleo Coyle

Berkley, 2003

Coffee, Coffee Everywhere
Being a tea drinker I picked this book up with some trepidation because I feared that it would focus so much on coffee that I would never be able to get into the story. In one regard I was correct because there is a heavy focus on coffee and even a bit of an attitude ...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting and Running a Coffee Bar (The Complete Idiot's Guide)

Linda Formichelli, W. Eric Martin, ...

Alpha, 2005

Well-balanced, lively, informative, and entertaining
One of the things that struck me most about this book is that it seems perfectly balanced. By this I mean that it covers all the general business angles of running a coffee bar, but it never loses sight of its coffee-oriented focus. While there's certainly plenty of ...

The Complexities of Care: Nursing Reconsidered (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)

ILR Press, 2006

A must read for the modern nurse
I purchased this book and "Nursing Against the Odds" by Gordan at the same time. While this book provided inspiring articulation of my own thoughts at this point in my career, the other one was just depressing. I coasted through this book of essays by different ...
