Psychology, Eighth Edition, in Modules
David G. Myers
Worth Publishers, 2006
Ideal Text
David Myers has done something incredible: written a near perfect textbook that can be used both at the AP and university level. Obsessively up to date, and an occasional quip so you can have a laugh. The book is balanced with physiological explanations as well as ...

Maria Shriver
Hyperion, 2008
It touched me deeply!
I didn't know too much about Maria Shriver before reading this book except for the fact that she is the famous Kennedy-Mrs. Schwarzenegger-First lady of California that you see in the headlines from time to time. Then one day the title of her book "Just Who Will You ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
Not What You Think It's Going To Be
So many people, to include certain friends of mine, are all too willing to write this book off as just one more salvo from the Republican noise machine without ever bothering to read it. Goldberg's title is perhaps unfortunate in this regard, as it leaves one with the ...

Wild Swans : Three Daughters of China
Jung Chang
Touchstone, 2003
This book will last for many generations to come
I won this great book when I was 18 years old. Until today, after almost two decades, I can still remember the story very well. Every page in this book is so alive with senses! I could really see the transitional period from one generation to the next; from the ...

Read it ... Enough said !
He is Stephan Colbert .... and no other current TV show comedian is. This guy is extremely funny and his book had the kind of subtle and in your face humor that will keep any reader laughing out loud.

The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss (The ...
Arthur Agatston
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003
My word! A practical diet!
Finally, a member of the medical profession who has an inkling of human nature, a connection to something besides mere medical reality! I'm normally highly skeptical of such books and almost any medically recommended diet I've ever heard, seen, or smelt. This one is so ...

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

Business Plus, 2000
Amazing Book, Period.
What ppl don't understand is that you're never supposed to actually take things you read in books like this literally. If he says a certain investment is smart, or he made money a certain way, do your research and see if its right for you. Just like any book, the ...

Choke
Chuck Palahniuk
Anchor, 2002
joy
To me, this book alone defines the hilarious chaos of a post-Y2K world -- especially since I turned 18 the year it was published (even though it didn't find me until 2005). I don't know any other modern American writer who is more honest, unmerciful, intelligent, and ...

Anchor, 2000
Muahahaha
"You won't be able to tell your friends about this book. You'll feel dirty just listening. And in the end it will be one of your favorites ever. Palahniuk's brilliance is his ability to wrap subtlety inside of blinding excess. He's like a guy who punches you in the ...
