Could NOT put it down!!!
Wow. This is the best summer read I've read in a long time! I literally could not put it down. I read the whole thing cover to cover in less then 48 hours (it would have been less then 24 if I didn't have to go to work this morning! I would have kept reading well into ...

One Man's America: The Pleasures and Provocations of Our Singular Nation
George Will
Crown Forum
, 2008
Thoughtful, insightful, lots of big words
I enjoyed One Man's America for its insight, and because George Will refuses to allow readers to be lazy. I must admit, though, that it often seems like he just swallowed a thesaurus, that he's never met a compound adjective he didn't like. "No vulgarity is unthinkable ...
Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer
Anchor
, 2007
Provoking
This story shares a tale about life and death--real life and real death. Make no mistake, you know how this ends. But it's not the ending--it's the journey. It's about the people left behind, and the effect one soul can have when paths cross on the street called ...
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2007
Good story if you relate the lessons to your own situation
I loved this book (on CD). I felt like I was along for the ride; walking through the streets of Italy or scrubbing a tile floor in the Ashram. I don't know that I would have enjoyed the written word as much I enjoyed her narration of it. She imparted feeling as ...

A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father
Augusten Burroughs
St. Martin's Press
, 2008
This book made me cry..
I was a bit suspicious about this book because of the negative reviews with one or two stars, but I can't begin to tell how I'm so glad I got to read this book. Not only because I'm Augusten's biggest fan, but A Wolf At The Table is, without a doubt, clearly one of his ...

It works
After using the suggestions in this book, my 18 month old goes quietly to bed. Before, he would yell and scream until we were a bag of nerves. It is like a miracle!
Where the Red Fern Grows (A Bantam Starfire Book)
Wilson Rawls
Laurel Leaf
, 1984
Ah a blast from the past
I had to read this book in elementary school, but I've been thinking about it lately and wondered if it was still around. Looks like it's not only around, but being used in schools just as regularly as before. Also with 1200+ reviews, I'm not sure it needs any more, ...

Jenna Blum
Harvest Books
, 2005
Great book, couldn't put it down
A truly great read and an amazing story. This is one of those books that I have to pass on anybody who likes to read and I know they will love it.
The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything
Stephen M.R. Covey
Free Press
, 2008
Trusting the Speed of Trust
When I read 'Speed of Trust' I had many "ah hah" moments. Either I had just read an explanation for something that had bothered me in the past, or I understood just why I had trusted someone or that person had trusted me. For both the realizations of what worked in ...
Me Talk Pretty One Day
David Sedaris
Back Bay Books
, 2001
His best
I'll make it very short and sweet. This is his best book so far. If you never read his work start with this one (Although 'santaland diaries' from Barrel Fever is one of the funniest thing I've read).
