Lone

Parliament of Whores: A Lone Humorist Attempts to Explain the Entire U.S. Government

P. J. O'Rourke

Grove Press, 2003

Small world
I have read this book and I am amazed by two things. It seems that although quite a lot of time has passed since it was first published -- not much changed. Additionally, being a Pole living in Poland I can compare the "rules" that apply to both the US and ...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

Sherman Alexie

Grove Press, 2005

That's How I Do Life Sometimes By Making The Ordinary Just Like Magic... -Sherman Alexie
Halfway through this book I emailed the friend that bought it for me to tell him how much I was loving it. I then asked him "How the hell am I supposed to review this?" His reply was to explain that "He needs a new star, a category for 'Holy Sh!t, that one hit me ...

How Not to Write a Screenplay: 101 Common Mistakes Most Screenwriters Make

Denny Martin Flinn

Lone Eagle, 1999

Best for more intermediate level screenwriters
I found the book extremely helpful - but I would NOT recommend for beginning screenwriters. I've written almost 3 screenplays, and had them critiqued in class. So, I would say that I am an beginner-intermediate level. This book is an excellent resource for those ...

Lone Survivor
"Lone Survivor" is an absolutely gripping account of what "makes" the men who wear the Trident of US Navy SEALS who they are. It is educational and compelling. A great read for anyone interested in understanding the challenges of serving with special operations in ...

Heart Of Texas Vol. 3: Nell's Cowboy\Lone Star Baby (Heart of Texas (Harlequin))

Debbie Macomber

Mira, 2008

ENGROSSING!
I love Macomber's stories about real people with individual attitudes and personalities--people we would like as friends. She never disappoints with her themes of friendship, hope, personal growth, and always happy endings. Thankfully, her stories and characters are ...

Lone Wolf

Linwood Barclay

Bantam, 2006

An engaging and compelling mystery
LONE WOLF is the third of Linwood Barclay's Zack Walker novels, a series that with each new entry has become incrementally darker and exponentially better. It sets a high-water mark, not only for Barclay professionally but also for the mystery genre. Informed with a ...

Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time

Dava Sobel

Walker & Company, 2007

Longitude - Great for science-minded kids over 10
I bought this for my visiting grandson. We had a fine time reading it together and discussing what a great invention longitude was, how many sailors' lives it saved, and the way the inventor had to fight to get the prize offered by the government for finding a way for ...

The Ultimate Guide to Video Game Writing and Design

Flint Dille, John Zuur Platten

Lone Eagle, 2008

Not only for writing games, also stories
This is a very good book about the art of writing and designing videogames. It has opened my eyes to many important factors of the process of creating a story (characters, plot, "the hook",...) and it included interesting exercises to assure you are following the pages ...

The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines

Tami D. Cowden, Caro LaFever, ...

Lone Eagle, 2000

Eye-Opening and Entertaining
In the quest of refining character, I have devoured a number of psychology texts and writer's guides, and I do believe that this one may be the best book on that topic I have ever discovered. I would quibble with Cowden, LaFever and Viders in their assertion that the ...

Lone Wolf and Cub Vol. 1: The Assassin's Road (Lone Wolf and Cub (Dark Horse))

Kazuo Koike, Goseki Kojima

Dark Horse, 2000

Re: Lone Wolf and Cub
One of the best pieces of literature I've ever read. The fact that it's a "comic" book kills the chance of it being read by a much larger audience. Most people who wouldn't give comics a chance would be surprised at how much they would like this story. The ...

Lone Calder Star (Zebra Contemporary Romance)

Janet Dailey

Zebra, 2006

A Good Janet Dailey Novel
Lone Calder Star is pure Janet Dailey. If you like her Calder novels, you'll like this one, it has the ultra hunky hero, and the intelligent, down to earth heroine.

wonderful pocket sized book with great info
This is a great book for the naturalist, whether amateur or field biologist, for learning in the field. The pictures are clear, information not too wordy, but enough to help with any id issues. This is really great for figuring out the plant communities that are so ...
