Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Best Book I've Ever Listened To
I listened to this in traffic for about a week. I actually looked forward to sitting in traffic. Her voice is soothing, the content is inspiring, and I can't imagine why anyone would give it one star. I loved it and was sad when I got to the last cd. Wonderfully ...

The Bourne Identity (Bourne Trilogy, Book 1)
Robert Ludlum
Bantam, 1984
Wow - blows the movie right out of the water!
I first read this book 4 years before the movies started coming out, and it blew me out of the water. Wow. I read spy/action books all the time, and this was amazing. James Bond is the classy blue-blooded spy - he wouldn't stand a chance going through what Bourne did ...

Sue Grafton
Putnam Adult, 2007
Grafton Is Back!
I loved this newest tale in the Kinsey Millhone series. Like a lot of readers, I had begun to think Sue Grafton had run her course and couldn't come up with anything exciting and new. Trespass was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I sincerely hope the rest of the ...

Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions
Christian Lander
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008
We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83 . . And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
A better title for this might be: "Ways to ingratiate yourself with white people and get free stuff from them by knowing how to manipulate them through the 150 things they like most."
OK, I have to admit I laughed at this (#103), but I don't like Sarah Silverman ...

Point, 2008
I'm speechless.
I'm back. I adored this book. It was amazing. The only problem is that I can't find the SEQUEL! It ends right when things seem to be getting really interesting, and the sequel isn't out?? I am disappointed about the sequel, but I loved the book.

The Human Stain: A Novel
Philip Roth
Vintage, 2001
Philip Roth = Genius
A college professor is forced to resign for alleged racism and begins an affair with an illiterate woman. In my opinion, this is very close to the perfect book. The writing is genius, and the scope of the book is enormous.

Alice Miller
Basic Books, 1996
A Significant Piece of the Puzzle
Reading books about psychology, especially books dealing with childhood trauma, is a bit like looking into a shattered mirror. Some parts will accurately reflect aspects of one's own psyche; other parts will be too distorted to have any relevance. As far as mirrors go, ...
