God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

Christopher Hitchens

Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group, 2007

Untitled, Sorry.
I've absolutely loved everything Christopher Hitchens has said about religion in this book and everything else he's had to say about religion before and after. He's a brilliant man who's done his homework. But I think the title is misleading because I don't think ...

His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass)

Philip Pullman

Laurel Leaf, 2003

Dark Materials a Triple Threat or Three Times a Charm? Awesome Novels!
When I saw the Golden Compass movie The Golden Compass (New Line Platinum Series Two-Disc Widescreen Edition) and the excellent acting of Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig (much different than his 007 role that same year, obviously), I wanted to read the book. Then I saw ...

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)

Eckhart Tolle

Penguin, 2008

Very Worthwhile
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) Although Oprah has recommended this book very highly,I'd like to say that it isn't just a "woman's book". It can be highly beneficial to anyone. It is not a quick read, but since it's ...

continued strength
I've read all of the Harry Potter books aloud to my son (who is now 10), and, while we're not yet far into Deathly Hallows, we can see that it will be as fun as all the others. We became engrossed in it from Page One. We're excited to see how the series ends, but we'll ...

Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-6)

J.K. Rowling

Scholastic Inc., 2006

Great books-- even for adults
These are very entertaining books: both kids and adults would like them. Of course, it would be nice if book 7 was included in the series, but I don't think it is in paperback yet. My only complaint was that the set took quite some time to arrive.

Michio Kaku

Doubleday, 2008

Inspiring and Enlightening
Dr. Kaku presents another outstanding book to expand our minds to endless possibilities. Why limit ourselves when we need, more than ever, to think out of the box, and ask the big "what if" questions. In my own writing, vis-i-vis, The Ninth Cube, I have tried to answer ...

Mountain of Love, 2005

Where spirituality explains science.
Lipton's book turns our understanding of the world inside out: it is not the DNA inside the cells that controls them, but the interaction of the outer cell membrane receptors with their environment. Starting from what is known and accepted, the author extrapolates to ...

Voyager

Diana Gabaldon

Delta, 2001

My favorite book of the series!!!
While working at a bookstore, I decided that I needed to read one sci-fi and one romance novel just to get a feel for the genre. I selected Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" for the romance novel, and was absolutely captivated by her story and style. I devoured the first ...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)

J. K. Rowling

An amazing novel
