Something Fishy (Collector's Wodehouse)
P.G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
Something Fishy is top-notch Wodehouse. When Keggs was a butler he eavesdropped on a meeting between his employer, J.J. Bunyan, and a covey of tycoons--J.J. and his associates each agreed to put up fifty-thousand dollars, the total to go to whichever of their sons was the last to marry. Thirty years later, Keggs wants to cash in on what he ...
The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It
M. Gigi Durham
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
an eye-opener--a must-read for parents and teachers
I see there are a number of other positive reviews up already, but I wanted to add my two cents. Durham's argument is powerful and extremely accessible. I admit that I had never taken notice of a lot of the extremely harmful and negative trends in modern media that ...
Ma Gastronomie
Fernand Point
Overlook/Rookery Hardcover, 2008
The REAL Chef of all time
Fernand Point was the greatest chef of all time. This is especially evident when one considers that his apprentices included Paul Bocuse and Jean Banchet. Point was so driven a cuisinier that he literally died in his kitchen, of a heart attack. During the German ...
An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming
Nigel Lawson
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
A Ph.D in Global Warming
This book is an extremely rational look at global warming that ultimately asks the reader, although not explicitly, to consider why human-kind still has a pronounced, if not suicidal, collectivist, and socialistic instinct when in all of human history only freedom has ...
Carry On, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)
P. G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2003
A Capital Collection
This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very ...
John Stuart Mill
Richard Reeves
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
John Stuart Mill was a vigorous activist who began campaigning for accessible contraceptive methods when he was just seventeen, shocked into action after finding a recently killed newborn baby in a park. He would become, in time, the highest-ranked English thinker of the century, the author of On Liberty , and one of the most passionate ...
Bill the Conqueror (Collector's Wodehouse)
P.G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
Wodehouse almost always superb.
Ingenious plot complexities, happy and unhappy coincidences, and satisfying resolutions. Tempts one to believe in "a great purposeful plan governing this sometimes seemingly chaotic world...." [p. 355] His usual funny, striking similes make for vivid descriptions of ...
The Man in the Picture
Susan Hill
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
Very Poe
I was intrigued by the premise of the story. When I started the book, I knew it was one of those books you just can't put down, nor do you want to. It is similar to a modern Poe story and I hope you agree, one that you would want to recommend to friends and read ...
Thank You, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)
P. G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2003
Learn your history, please
This is one of the funniest of the uniformly funny Jeeves and Wooster books. The scene with Chuffy, Pauline, and Bertie in the bedroom is worth the entire price of the book. Some reviewers have objected to the use of the word "nigger" in the book. This is a ...
Blue Mauritius
Hellen Morgan
Overlook Hardcover, 2008
a book to be admired as much as the valued stamp
A book of deep scholarship, exactitude and completeness; wonderfully written conveying a sense of the collector's passion and the excitement of discovery. In Helen Morgan's world, the search of, and affirmation for rarity and worth is contained in the history of ...
Landscaping with Fruits and Vegetables
Fred Hagy
Overlook Hardcover, 2001
Great Reference
I ordered this book through Amazon.com because we are interested in using fruits and vegetables in landscaping. Actually, we just plain like to garden and eat. Landscaping is secondary. Fruit tree catalogues are very basic, and frustrating. You see some closeup's of a ...
The Code of the Woosters
P. G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2000
The funniest series in the world.
Believe it or not, I am 74 years old and had never read about the trials and tribulations Jeeves put up with Bertie Wooster. I have never laughed so much in my life. I am now going to get my hands on every word P.G. Wodehouse ever wrote. I truly would have loved ...
Very Good, Jeeves!
P.G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2006
Jeeves & Bertie #3
Previous: Carry On, Jeeves The third and last short story collection, this volume contains some of the very best Jeeves and Bertie stories, again, stand-alone and unrelated. My favorite in this collection-and my favorite short story overall-is the brilliant Jeeves and ...
