I love the Stanislaskis I've read them all
I've read them all I'm a big fan. Once you've read one book you have to read the rest, they feel like family and you will want to know what happen to them. Nora Roberts is number one.

Falling Up
HarperCollins, 1996
ALWAYS A JOY TO READ.
To be frank, I get a kick out of Silverstein's work. It is always a bit quirky, always takes a couple of readings to really "get," and is very entertaining while being quite insightful as to human nature. This work is no different from his other works, same quality, ...

a must have rosemarry wells
This is a great Max & Ruby story. It's particularly good for younger readers as it is short. It's somewhere in between the board books of max & ruby and the full-length classics like Bunny Money and Chocolate Chicken. It's perfect for a 2 or 3 yr old.

Twilight Falling (Forgotten Realms: The Erevis Cale Trilogy)
Paul S. Kemp
Wizards of the Coast, 2003
A Series Worth Reading
I fear the Forgotten Realms was in a slump for awhile until this gem of an author came onto the screen. Kemp has a flair for easy-flowing narrative, tormented characters with snappy dialogues you can't resist reading about, and break-neck speed plots that do not fit ...

Going to Pieces without Falling Apart
Mark Epstein
Broadway, 1999
Awareness trumps neurosis
Although small in size, Epstein's book presents quite a powerful synthesis of Buddhism and psychotherapy. Amazingly, he brings clarity to the paradoxical concepts of: feeling whole by accepting emptiness; finding happiness by letting go; feeling more at peace by ...
