War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism

Douglas J. Feith

Harper, 2008

An excellent personal memoir
I have now finished the book but the number of negative reviews posted here still suggests that half a review by someone who has read the book carefully was better than what else is on offer so far. I have not altered my comments since reading the rest but have a few ...

The Plague of Doves: A Novel

Louise Erdrich

Harper, 2008

Brutal, crazy and in the end stunning!
I first came to know Erdrich after reading The Master Butchers Singing Club (P.S.) a couple years ago and loved it. I since have gone back and read Tracks and The Painted Drum: A Novel (P.S.) which I found equally as good. So it was a happy surprise to find "The ...

Stop Whining, Start Living

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Harper, 2008

Great Advice
Dr. Laura has taken on a problem that is rampant in our society - whining and victimhood. It seems that far too often these days people let the minor disappointments and problems of life turn them into whiners. Perhaps part of that is that too many people have ...

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy Revised and Updated

David D. Burns

Harper, 1999

Along with therapy, this is a GREAT book!
This book, along with therapy has helped me get back on track in my life. It straightened out all the kinks. I coupled psychotherapy once a week while reading this book... no antidepressents! It made me come a long way in a very difficult journey.

Careless in Red: A Novel (Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers Novels)

What now?

Ann Patchett

Harper, 2008

I loved this book!
Absolutely wonderful! I couldn't put it down until I had finished the whole thing. The audio book is nice too as Patchett reads it herself. A must-read!

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Harper Fiction)

Gregory Maguire

Harper, 2007

Wickedly fantastic!
I always knew that Dorothy was a naive, little twit. As an author, I admire how Maguire redeems a misunderstand, archetypal character. Elphaba is a heroine for the 21st century and beyond. This is one read that will stay with you. Amber LaShea Holmes Snow White on ...

The Sum of Our Days: A Memoir

Isabel Allende

Harper, 2008

Clever, Funny, Charming Family Memoir
The Sum Of Our Days is a family memoir based on Allende's idea that her deceased daughter Paula would want to know what has happened to the family since she died. Lacking in pretense and affectation, The Sum Of Our Days is an honest portrait of an unusual family, full ...
