As she grows up, living half immersed in traditional myth and half in gritty ...             Rules of the Game Neil Strauss Harper Paperbacks, 2007 absolutely eye-opening This quite possibly could turn out to be the most important book I've ever read. To be more accurate, the white book may be. The black book is a good read, and offers insight into the human condition and society, but the white covered book, the Stylelife Challenge, is ...             The Secret Rhonda Byrne Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006 Proud to be on "The Secret" bandwagon...

You are the ...             The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British Sarah Lyall W. W. Norton, 2008 A spot on view of British culture As an ardent Anglophile, I had to have this book. In many ways Sarah covers the same territory as Bill Bryson with the same bemused American perspective. Each chapter covers a different aspect of British culture and combines personal anecdotes with wider factual ...             Fancy Nancy Jane O'connor HarperCollins, 2005 Love to Be Fancy What a wonderful book! Well, I admit, mostly I like looking at the pictures. But even for someone who's completely grown out of pink and purple, I often read this book wishing I could have the self-confidence to dress just like Nancy. I've read things about this book ...             The History of Sexuality: An Introduction Michel Foucault Vintage, 1990 Hard...but worth it. Foucault is one of the most important thinkers of our time. He is a historian, a cultural theorist, and a philosopher.

This ...             The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed Mystery, Lovedrop St. Martin's Press, 2007 AWESOME!! This book was great.

Great overall.             The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals Michael Pollan Penguin, 2007 Calling all Corn People - READ THIS BOOK! I read this book a little while ago and didn't have time to review it, but the essential messages keep popping into my consciousness as I go about my day-to-day life. Before reading this book, for example, I had never realized that Corn has cunningly taken over the ...             I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell Tucker Max Citadel Press, 2006 Hilarious! This book was entirely too funny! Reminds me of too many guys I knew when I was younger, but the stories! Sometimes I wonder if this could actually happen to a person- then I realize that I had my own stories.... Definitely a good read!             100 Things to Do Before You Die: Travel Events You Just Can't Miss Neil Teplica, Dave Freeman Taylor Trade Publishing, 1999 Things to do before your die Great ideas. I gave it as a gift but skimmed it prior to wrapping it. Good stuff             I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala Rigoberta Menchu Verso, 1987 Just 2 or so hours South of Miami! It is incredible that such human suffering went on, and in many ways is still going on, just a couple of hours (by pane) away from where I live. Rigoberta Menchu's book, written as dictated by her, is sad and tells of horrible situations. Guatemala is a beautiful ...             Custom Knits: Unleash Your Inner Designer with Top-Down and Improvisational Techniques Wendy Bernard STC Craft/A Melanie Falick Book, 2008 Great "custom knits" The book suprised me very positively with its quality, content and size. The proyects are very special because they are based on traditional, but timeless patterns and few details make them so modern looking. That is true, you don't know which one to begin first. The ...             Sexuality Now: Embracing Diversity Janell L.
