Rich Dad, Poor Dad 2 (Rich Dad)
Robert T. Kiyosaki
Time Warner Paperbacks, 2002
Cashflow Quadrant
Just wanted to let everyone know that this book is almost certainly "cashflow quadrant" with another title, as that is the follow up to Rich Dad Poor Dad.
It's not really fair to give it one star (without knowing what the book contains) even though you love the ...

Books of Blood Omnibus
Clive Barker
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1988
Endocrinal as well as exocrinal and seminal
In this second half of the highway of the dead, Clive Barker takes us even deeper than we could have ever dreamt into the empire of death. Every story is a miracle and a fascinating marvel. Every story deserves our attention and energy. But some are maybe slightly more ...

Midnight Express
Billy Hayes, William Hoffer
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1987
Sticking to the point would be advisable to some..
This legendary book (and later movie of the same caliber) has provoked and is still provoking so much off the point debate that it's hard to fathom.
A discussion about Turkey and its pros and cons belongs either in a different forum or upon a different book as ...

Rogue Trader
Nick Leeson
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1997
One of the best reads I've had in a long time
The tale of Nick Leeson's catastrophic trading that brought about the collapse of Baring's bank is perhaps the most famous scandal in banking history. It is also an absolutely fascinating read. Although the film version of the story is gripping and intense, nothing can ...

Tuesdays with Morrie
Mitch Albom
Time Warner Paperbacks, 2003
Touched My Heart and Soul
Tuesdays with Morrie is a "final thesis" between a young man and his old, beloved college professor who is diagnosed with a deadly, unforgiving illness called ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
This book made Morrie's death much more valuable by making it a ...

The Greatest Knight: The Story of William Marshal
Elizabeth Chadwick
Time Warner Paperbacks, 2006
A great novel about a great man!
Had it not been for the great reviews and the other Chadwick novels I've read, I never would've chosen this book. A biographical novel of some obscure historical figure just didn't sound like my cup of tea. After reading this I thank my lucky stars that I stepped out ...

Gold Coast
Nelson DeMille
Time Warner Paperbacks, 2001
Worth your gold!
Nelson DeMille's The Gold Coast is my favorite DeMille book. John Sutter is a local lawyer with a somewhat kooky wife from old money. In walks a mobster who buys the mansion next door even as Sutter's wife's family can't afford the upkeep on their old pile of stone.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad (Rich Dad)
Robert T. Kiyosaki
Time Warner Paperbacks, 2002
Rich in other ways too!
When I first purchased this book, it was for the simple purpose of trying to educate myself more on the concepts of how the millionaires create their success. While I was not disappointed in any way with the context, what surprised me was that many of the fundamentals ...

Legally Blonde
Amanda Brown
Time Warner Paperbacks, 2003
Thoroughly enjoyable book
This is a delightful little book. It's a quick read that's easy to get into and hard to put down. It is funny and cute. The writing style is light and humorous. I have seen the movie and liked it. But, I like the book more. Elle has more depth. She seems smarter and ...

Interview with the Vampire (Vampire Chronicles)
Anne Rice
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1994
vampire legend made real
Anne Rice's "Interview with a Vampire" is her first, and I think, best vampire tale. As such it is original, vibrant and haunting. An actual vampire is interviewed. He describes his transition from a mortal man to an immortal vampire and he describes his moral ...

The Rose Rent
Ellis Peters
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1992
A peppercorn rent paid in roses
If you're interested in an audio edition, check that you're getting the unabridged recording narrated by Stephen Thorne. If you're interested in the Derek Jacobi video, I warn you that the BBC rewrote the backstory of both Judith and Niall to make them more ...

The Sanctuary Sparrow
Ellis Peters
Time Warner Paperbacks, 1991
This bird soars!
Peters weaves a darn good tale. While it ends in the usual Peters's fashion with the love-birds off to a good start to a bright future, she constructs one of the most suprisingly vicious villians of the chronicles. She adeptly juggles a complex plot line and insighful ...
