Stephenie Meyer
Listening Library (Audio), 2008
Excellent
I really enjoyed the book, the story line and the ending. I was incredibly sad when it was over and I had to face the fact that the series was finished - fingers crossed that there will be more B&E.

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition
Edward R. Tufte
Graphics Press, 2001
Life Changing and Beautiful
It is rare that a supposedly technical book really changes a reader's life. I can say, though, that after reading Tufte's books, my life is not the same. The complaints of the detracting reviewers are baseless if you understand the nature of this book. This book is ...

The Twelve Terrors of Christmas
John Updike
Pomegranate Communications, 2006
Really like Edward Gorey's style of writing
I really like Edward Gorey's style of writing-kind of dark and quirky-not really for children. Very tongue in cheek and funny.I buy all his book I can get andf also like his drawings.

THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND - A Second Look at the Federal Reserve - 2008 Edition
G. Edward Griffin
American Media, 2008
Can't rate it highly enough
It took me 5 years of independent research to arrive at the same conclusions. Could it really be possible? That practically the whole planet and everything on it (including ourselves) is owned lock, stock and barrel by a tiny group of people while the rest of us ...
