The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria
W. W. Norton, 2008
Thorough Balanced Perspective on America and The World
Interesting perspectives on America and its place in the world. I was particularly struck by Fareed's perspective on China and India and how each country's religious background - Confucianism/Buddhism in China, and Hinduism in India - will likely affect each country's ...

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Must Read
Book 2 of the Twilight series kept my attention as much as the first book. It's a must if you really enjoyed the first book. You get to see the relationship between Bella and Jacob blossom. I couldn't put it down.

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Malcolm Gladwell
Back Bay Books, 2002
Must read book
Macolm Gladwell's approach in this book is that of an observer. His deductions are thoroughly logical and offer a refreshing alternative to traditional thought. This book was a joy to read. I am also half way through his second book entitled Blink. As an author he ...

Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)
Christopher Paolini
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008
Amazing Young Adult Fantasy
I suppose that coming into this book expecting it to be 750 more pages of 'Eldest' was not the most optimistic view to take.
Brisingr is far, FAR better than Eldest. In fact, it is difficult for me to believe that both Eldest and Brisingr were written by the same ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
A nice ending the a seemingly impossible situation!
I really enjoyed the entire twilight series. There were many delimmas met throughout the saga up until right before Breaking Dawn. I liked the way that everything did eventually work out. I think that's what most readers hope for. And for those haters who rate this ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
One of my FAVORITES!!!
OK, so this is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. I was quite skeptical to read this book when a friend told me that it was a romantic vampire book, but I must say that I loved it! Not only was it an easy read (perhaps b/c I am a 36 year old ...
