Armin A. Brott
Abbeville Press
, 2001
Perfect for both parents
My husband had this book bought as a gift. He's finished the whole thing as I just started my 8 month. He loved it. It had such good information in it he's referred to several of his friends and strangers we've come across. A few pages he made me read about what to ...
A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father
Augusten Burroughs
St. Martin's Press
, 2008
Augusten ROCKS!
Augusten is my favorite writer. He is brillant- the story is amazing. And you HAVE to read his brother's book, "Look me in the Eye" because it is such a wild dynamic seen from the other side.
The Road (Oprah's Book Club)
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage Books
, 2007
Misunderstood by detractors, a clearly brilliant literary work
The handful of one-star reviews seemed to miss the point. The repetitive plot points and desolate wasteland illustrated optimism and the endearing force of human love, not a depressing world where man is monster. Actually, Cormac dances the line between both views, and ...

A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship
Ron Paul
Foundation for Rational Economics and Educati
, 2007
Great Read!!!
This book is a great read for anyone interested in politics. It gave me a good idea of the inner workings of congress and the issues being discussed. Also gave me reassurance of Dr. Pauls' stance on the issues. Most candidates will tell you what you want to hear for ...

Great for Boys and everyone else, too!
Bought this for my son. He keeps it by his bed and opens it randomly to find something interesting. He often brings it downstairs with him to ask us questions about things he's read, and if we can try this or that. We love it! We've made several of the projects, and ...
The Revolution: A Manifesto
Ron Paul
Grand Central Publishing
, 2008
The three legs of health care.
There is quality healthcare, there is universal healthcare, and there is affordable healthcare. You can have any two, but you cannot have all three. Dr. Paul obviously doesn't bat 1.000 (who does?) but what he, alone of the candidates, does do, is focus attention on ...

Guess How Much I Love You
Sam McBratney
Candlewick
, 1996
Love this book!
This is a sweet little story about a little nut brown hare and a big nut brown hare. It is a story my child and I both enjoy. It is the whole book in it's entirety, not just a shortened version of the hardback as many boardbooks can be. My child loves when I ...

McCullough wants to take you there ... and he does.
Wonderful picture of the times and the man. McCullough gives us a fascinating picture of a great man with public and private flaws (the Alien and Sedition Acts were wrong, and his relationship with his second son Charles could have been repaired if he was more ...

Jan Karon
Viking Adult
, 2007
She's Done it Again!!
I just stayed up late and finished "Home to Holly Springs." I must confess that I checked it out from the library, for the first time NOT buying the latest Karon book as I've done in the past, because I just couldn't believe she could pull off another storyline as ...
