Built from Scratch: How a Couple of Regular Guys Grew The Home Depot from Nothing to $30 Billion

Bernie Marcus, Arthur Blank, ...

Crown Business, 1999

A great story...
and very well told, which really makes this book a fast read (I had a hard time putting it down). Provides, IMO, valuable information that will be useful for any business owner. I am glad these guys took the time to share their story, and I hope I get to meet them one ...

Nothing to Do

Douglas Wood

Dutton Juvenile, 2006

READ IT!
I think this book should come with every child when they are sent home from the hospital. We live in a world where our children are scheduled for EVERYTHING. This book shows what they miss when they don't just stop and do nothing. This is a fabulous read! Every ...

Wow - a perfect inspiration for every woman

Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the ...

Dick Morris, Eileen Mcgann

Harper, 2008

Better than Expected
Fleeced was a surprisingly good book. I have not read Morris before but own his counter-spin analysis of Hillary's history (I'll get to it someday). You should know, up front, that Fleeced is improperly grouped with the Obama books but only the initial 40 pages or so ...

There's Nothing to Do on Mars

Ga Chris

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Robert Zubrin and Greg Klerkx take note, there IS hope for the future
While the other reviewers noted the charm of this book in general 'fun and nice for a child' ways, I have a different slant. Being a child of the Apollo days and growing up when the idea of going to another planet was the only thrill that could be imagined I've become ...

A GREAT BOOK

Five Little Monkeys with Nothing to Do

Eileen Christelow

Clarion Books, 2000

I didn't know that boredom could be so hilarious
This book threw me into a laughing fit when I read it to Max in the children's books section of one of the large bookshops in Singapore (the perfect refuge on week-ends during the rainy winter season). Max is two and a half years old, and he is very tolerant of his ...

Nothing to Do, Nowhere to Go: Reflections on the Teachings of Zen Master Lin Chi

Thich Nhat Hanh

Parallax Press, 2007

The best
If one reads Thich Nhat Hanh's works extensively in Vietnamese, they'll know that he is a sharp scholar with a wide range of interests. In the West, most of his books are, however, from teaching lectures. And maybe he likes it that way too: down-to-earth, practical, ...

Nothing to Do But Stay

Carrie Young

University Of Iowa Press, 2000

Story-telling at its best
It often happens that our own stories are intimately entwined with someone else's story, and that to understand who we are, we have to tell another person's story first. This is true for Carrie Young, who has written a marvelous memoir of her mother. This warm, ...

Nothing to Do with Dionysos? Athenian Drama in Its Social Context

Princeton University Press, 1992

These critically diverse and innovative essays are aimed at restoring the social context of ancient Greek drama. Theatrical productions, which included music and dancing, were civic events in honor of the god Dionysos and were attended by a politically stratified community, whose delegates handled all details from the seating arrangements to the ...

Eileen Christelow

Clarion Books, 2007

Nice Book
This is a nice English/Spanish book that can be read in either language. It goes beyond the basic color, shapes, etc. for basic Spanish. There are 3-4 sentences for each page; 28 pages or so. The monkey are bored so the Mom has them clean for their Grandma who is ...

The Lazy Way to Success: How to Do Nothing and Accomplish Everything

Fred Gratzon

Soma Press, 2003

delightful, beautiful book
I invited Fred Grazton on my radio show to talk about his book. When it arrived it, the first thing I noticed was how different it is from the many books I receive as a radio show host. First of all, it's a beautiful book, a high-quality coffee table-type book. ...

Something to Do (When There's Nothing To Do): A Coloring and Activity Book (When There's Nothing to Do)

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1995

A lot of fun
I am a nanny for three children and have often wished for a more adult coloring book. I was thrilled to have found this one. Not only is it Mary Engelbreit, whom I love, but the pictures are so much more fun to color than in the average book. There is a lot of detail ...
