The Great Influenza: The story of the deadliest pandemic in history
John M. Barry
Penguin Books, 2005
Well, This Certainly Scared The Bejeezus Out Of Me
Mr. Barry did an excellent job of immersing the reader into the 1918 pandemic. The author also took great pains to describe the history and still budding field of scientific research in America. The book is clearly boosterism for science and the intrepid scientists who ...
The Tortilla Curtain
T. Coraghessan Boyle
Penguin Books, 1996
The Tortilla Curtain..Ouch!
An honest attempt to show both sides of a problem that most of us would prefer to ignore. I liked the way the author does not just write off the affluent liberal point of view as simply racist. Wealthy folks concerned about their property values and protecting their ...
In This Mountain (The Mitford Years, Book 7)
Jan Karon
Penguin Books, 2002

Letters from a Stoic (Penguin Classics)
Seneca
Penguin Books, 1969
First time Stoic
This was the first book I have read on Stoicism based off of the recommendation of two bloggers, Tim Ferriss and Ryan Holiday. I have just sat here for ten minutes trying to think of a way I can explain how much I loved this book. I think that actually explains it ...
The Portable Nietzsche (Portable Library)
Friedrich Nietzsche
Penguin Books, 1977
God is dead, the `Ûbermensch' should live
This collection contains all Nietzsche's most important texts, except `Beyond Good and Evil'. In those texts, Nietzsche shouts, exhorts, explains or translates via metaphors, poems, pastiches, maxims and aphorisms in a manic delirious style his vision on life, man and ...

Ceremony: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Leslie Marmon Silko
Penguin Books, 2006
Breath-taking
All I can add to the many thoughtful reviews here is this: I've read very few works of fiction that have provoked a profound paradigm shift. This is one of the ones that did. I couldn't look up from the pages and the story will stay with me for life. I feel I owe a ...
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Greg Mortenson
,
David Oliver Relin
Penguin Books, 2007
Inspiring and an eye-opener
This book has changed the way I see the world and the future. I am inspired by Mortenson's call to action and his courage. If more people were willing to get involved even in their local communities the world would definitely be better and safer. We cannot ignore the ...
Maisie Dobbs
Jacqueline Winspear
Penguin Books, 2004
Fabulous new heroine!
Fell in love with Maisie and am looking forward to many more novels to come. Extremely well researched, and a great intro into a time period much us forget about with all that came after in the second world war. I have sought to learn more about this time period ...

The Letters of Abelard and Heloise (Penguin Classics)
Peter Abelard
,
Heloise
Penguin Books, 2004
The Letters of Abelard and Heloise
It's always best to get hold of what was actually written or said, if at all possible. This book is as close to original as can be had. It is a fascinating book because its many letters reveal, at least a little, why some people do potentially harmful things to ...

Great Reference Book
I purchased this book after a friend passed away from caner (within days of finding out, he was gone). In speaking with some others and doing some internet research, I kept hearing about this book. It seems that our society is really working against us, as most ...
