Complete Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The ...

Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 1993

Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient ...

Travels with Herodotus (Vintage International)

Ryszard Kapuscinski

Vintage, 2008

A great valedictory from a superb author
Ryszard Kapuscinski's works -- often described as "literary reportage" -- transcended genres. They blended travel with history, current affairs with political theory, biography with philosophy. And all with wit and sensistivity -- a rare and remarkable accomplishment. ...

Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, ...

HCI, 2005

a worthwhile read
This book was great! I honestly think that the reviews from concerned parents were ridiculous. You're not always going to be there holding their hand, and protecting them, so let them go a little and let them learn, they will get a lot out of this book if you don't ...

The Right Touch: A Read-Aloud Story to Help Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (Jody Bergsma Collection)

Sandy Kleven

Illumination Arts Publishing Company, 1998

SUPER BOOK!!!!
I absolutly loved this book!!! As with other readers, I also felt that it was a bit "much" for my 5yr old. I mean, it does say stuff like "a man putting his hands down a little girls panties..." However, even though it is a bit much, I believe that I would rather ...

Men with Balls: The Professional Athlete's Handbook

Drew Magary

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Crude, Rude and Wonderful
Under the guise of writing a handbook for professional athletes, Drew Magary has written a wickedly funny, and very truthful satire of professional athletes, and the fans who lives are obsessed with following these athletes. Mr. Magary, in a very subtle way, also asks ...

Hot Chicks with Douchebags

Jay Louis

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008

Hilarious, well-written and intelligent!
I have to admit that when I heard this book was coming out, I had my doubts about the quality. I was a big fan of the site, but honestly, what could the author add to the pictures that were already available online? This volume, however, was a very pleasant ...

The Steinbeck Centennial Collection: The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, The Pearl, Cannery ...

John Steinbeck

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

The Steinbeck Centennial Collection
I purchased it to replace volumes "borrowed" over the years and read all again, some for the first time in decades. They haven't changed and they never disappoint. This would be a perfect gift for a young reader just beginning to build their adult collection.

Hackett Publishing Company, 2004

A Must Have for Myth-Focused Folks!
Finally! There has been such need for a work like this and the editors/translators have done a fine job indeed. I teach live, online courses on mythology at The Lukeion Project and this year I will be developing a way to make this a required purchase for the fall 2008 ...
