Lord of the Flies (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century)
William Golding
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999
Children without Adults
"Lord of the Flies" is Golding's fascinating novelistic expression of the theory that human beings are born violent savages, requiring adult supervision and training to moderate and tame. I find "Lord of the Flies" excellent both artistically and conceptually because, ...

Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
Henry Cloud, John Townsend
Zondervan, 2002
Good book... life changer
I am so happy I bought this book. It has so much information. It is a book that needs study... not just a read. I grew up with alcoholic parents and very codependent relationships. I am glad there is a Christian and biblical based book that speaks to the fact that ...

One of the best books ever written on negotiation
This book changed the study and practice of negotiation since it was first published.
It is one of the most important books on negotiation ever written.
It is based on "interest based" negotiation and "expanding the pie" and then "dividing it". It is about ...

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter
Business Plus, 2000
Great Book!
Our accountant recommended this book, and I am sure glad he did. I read it in just a few days because it was so interesting. This isn't a typical "get rich" book since I found that the author was definitely trying to teach the reader how to rethink the way he or she ...

Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself
Melody Beattie
Hazelden, 1992
A life preserver.
This book is a sanity saver. There are some inspirational things to take away from reading it. Beattie injects her own life story into this self-help book. Coupled with her other books, it makes for reflective and well written advice.

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Couldn't put it down!
I was shocked when I logged on to Amazon and saw so many snarky, bitter reviews; I expected this book to have a solid five star rating. I do a lot of reading and it not every day that I find a book so engrossing, so honest, so profound, and so funny that I clear my ...

In the Woods
Tana French
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008
A good first book
I really enjoyed reading In the Woods. The manner in which it is written (even down to word choice) is evocative and interesting, even beyond the actual plot. And that is something that one does not often see enough of in this genre. The character development and ...
