When You Are Engulfed in Flames
David Sedaris
Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Tom Moon
Workman Publishing Company, 2008
Useful and Fun
Let's agree not to quibble about whether our favorite recordings made it into the list. Just the sheer scope and breadth of this book would make it a useful resource. But Moon goes well beyond scope and provides a means of discovering great music that most of us would ...

MMMMMmmmmmmm....
The ice cream turns out so well from this book. I use a Cuisinart electric ice cream maker with this and my ice cream is WONDERFUL. So far the pumpkin ice cream has been the biggest hit.

Fun Informative read...
Ok, so some of the wisdom the author shares, may have been in other books of the past, in some way. What I love about the author and alas this book is his fresh take on interesting facts. And how he proves as the Gates Foundation has noted, given opportunity children ...

Our Dumb World
The Onion
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
The GREATEST book ever written
Occasionally, a book comes along of such great importance that to not buy it--even if it means letting your kids go hungry for a couple nights--would be a crime. In fact, it should be a crime, and I advise you to write your local legislator. Such a book is Our Dumb ...
