Fancy Nancy
Jane O'Connor
HarperCollins, 2005
I wish I had this book as a little girl!
I have a four-year-old daughter, and this is the perfect book (and series) for her and her age set. The girls can all relate to how fancy Nancy appears all the time, and I love all the great new vocabulary words my daughter has picked up from Nancy's "fancy" words. ...

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
Dan Ariely
HarperCollins, 2008
One of the best books non-fiction released in 2008
One of the most eye-opening books I have read in a long time. This easy-to-read and digest book is a nice introduction to behavioural economics. It follows some threads that were in Freakonomics, which was good, too, but I like this one even better.

Fleeced
HarperCollins e-books, 2008
biased reviewers: get specific, please! (4.5 stars I sez)
This book has a nearly equal number of '1 star' and '5 star' ratings and it seems - to me at least - that most of these contributors have rated it based on their political preferences and biases.
To be sure it's thought (and invective-) provoking, and it ranges ...

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It
Michael E. Gerber
HarperCollins, 1995
Stop Chasing Your Tail.....
Great Book! Breaks down the systems a business should have in place- like a franchise prototype. Michael Gerber really makes sense. The challenge is to implement the ideas. I highly recommend the audio book.
