Aside from making a powerful statement about the so called "American Dream," this novel is brilliantly written. Mr. Fitzgerald's mastery of the English language is evident in his genius sentence structure and meticulous word choice. One cannot help but stop reading to ...             The Old Man and The Sea Ernest Hemingway Scribner, 1995 Rekindling the Connection This is my favorite Hemingway work by far, although I've also enjoyed some of his other books. To me, this one stands out because Hemingway's prose perfectly matches the grace and silent strength of Santiago, who is one of the most endearing fictional characters I've ...             Don't Fill Up on the Antipasto: Tony Danza's Father-Son Cookbook Tony Danza Scribner, 2008 The Danzas' Book I just received the cookbook yesterday and i was dying to try the meatballs...I'm Italian and i've never seen meatballs rolled in flour before....They were delicious and they were a really big hit with my family....already well worth it! That's italian! Thanks Tony ...             Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006 Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, ... Scribner, 2006 Joy of Cooking Joy of cooking has been a standard reference in our kitchen for over 40 years. My wife once owned a vegetarian restaurant and we are both avid cooks. I have cooked and ran construction camps in Alaska for over 30 years. We have over 50 cookbooks in our library but ...             The Glass Castle: A Memoir Jeannette Walls Scribner, 2006 Beautifully Written Book about a Very Unpleasant Childhood This book is about Jeannette Walls childhood and early adult life. She writes lovingly and truthfully about her poverty-stricken and eccentric childhood. She doesn't spare the sordid details (although there are many more, I'm sure) and doesn't spare the good things ...             A Separate Peace John Knowles Scribner, 2003 A great seller Product is exactly as described, shipping just took a little longer than anticipated. Otherwise a wonderful buying experience!             Duma Key: A Novel Stephen King Scribner, 2008 Supernatural elements are unsatisfying...but some great writing I'm a pretty huge Stephen King fan, dating back to about 1979, when I first read THE SHINING. I've stuck with him through some poor times (THE DARK HALF & NEEDFUL THINGS) and certainly enjoyed the high points. DUMA KEY falls somewhere in the middle of the batch. It ...             On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen Harold McGee Scribner, 2004 A True Classic Not available in bookshops here, it took me a while to track down this much praised book, now in a 2004 updated edition. It can be read at many levels: history, folk lore, chemistry and just marvellous explanations of the 'why' of cooking. It must hold great appeal for ...             A Farewell To Arms Ernest Hemingway Scribner, 1995 A wonderful classic I have been going in circles around this book for ages, so what a pleasure to discover that it is a true master piece. It is history on love and war, with brilliant pictorial descriptions and some of the best realized characters I have ever seen in print. Especially ...             Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America Rick Perlstein Scribner, 2008 This is a brilliant book Rick Perlstein has exhaustively researched and written a magnificent book, and his extremely thorough look back at the zeitgeist of the era of Richard Nixon should be read by any American of my age group (AARP eligible), or, for that matter, by Americans younger than I ...             Watership Down: A Novel Richard Adams Scribner, 2005 my favorite book I love this classic adventure of good versus evil. Which will triumph? Totalitarianism? or liberty? Excellent ending. I like it more each time I read it (roughly annually for 25 years). If I were a custom license plate girl, mine would read "hrududu." Heh heh ...             Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life Steve Martin Scribner, 2007 Behind the laughter As a teenager in the 1970s, I was among the legions swept up in the Steve Martin craze. I listened to his albums repeatedly, memorizing much of the humor and entertaining (well, sort of) my classmates with adaptations of Steve Martin comedy routines. When Martin sang ...             Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto Chuck Klosterman Scribner, 2004 Always enjoyable This is the second book of Klosterman's I've read. The first, and my introduction to Klosterman, was "IV." I like both these books equally and for similar reasons. In here, Klosterman observes seemingly mindless and inconsiquential tidbits and expands upon them in a ...             The Sun Also Rises Ernest Hemingway Scribner, 2006 The First from a Brilliant Writer A young Ernest Hemingway writes his first novel. Full of the joy and sadness of youth, no one is better than Hemingway in evoking the sensual pleasures of the world. Lovely prose, wonderful energy... Hemingway in the first flush of his true talent. Not to be missed. ...             The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce, and Obsession Adam Leith Gollner Scribner, 2008 Makes Me Want To Eat Fruit! First of all I have to say that I'm not a big fruit eater. I like the taste of most fruits, but the ones I buy in the supermarket are waxy, bland, and have textures that don't correspond to how I think the fruit looks. I was reading an early posting of the Sunday ...          products you might be interested in search for books anniversary, father-son, fracturing, nixonland, obsession, president randomly chosen book: Creative License, The: Giving Yourself Permission to Be The Artist You ...
