Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
Joseph J. Ellis
Vintage
, 2002
I learned something new about a familiar subject
Even though I'd seen and heard multiple items about the founding generation, I was pleasantly surprised that I learned something new from this work...namely that the discussion of the location of the new capital was seriously sidetracked by an abolitionist delegation's ...

Knopf

An essential book for a beginning chef...
...I've referred to this book over the years for technique and authenticity of Italian cooking...it is a wonderful book. I agree that it is on par with Julia Child's French cookbook. I've made many of the recipes and they are fabulous....the poached shrimp, easy and ...
Remember, Be Here Now
Ram Dass
Hanuman Foundation
, 1978
spirit /life learning book from the 60's
Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) did this book right. In a time of soul searching he was an LSD using engineer turned hippie who went to India in search of a Guru. He found a really good one. The book is in 3 parts. The first is Ram Dass's egocentric story of his prespirit ...
A Walk to Remember
Nicholas Sparks
Grand Central Publishing
, 2004
A Beautiful, and Poignant Novel!
A WALK TO REMEMBER was a novel I checked out from the library because I was tired of fast-paced action novels by John Grisham and Tom Clancy (don't get me wrong; I love Grisham and Clancy). I like dramas and romances, so I checked this one out. It's the first Sparks ...

Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember
John Feinstein
Little, Brown and Company
, 2008
Very insightful
Reading the sports section of the newspaper will give you the results of yesterday's games. There will be some in-depth articles on how the home team fared, and there may even occasionally be a human-interest story on a particular athlete. But to truly understand how a ...
Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who ...
David McCullough
Simon & Schuster
, 1982
Mornings on Horseback
This is the wonderful story of the personal life of Theodore Roosevelt. If you love American history and admire TR, this is a must-read. I have bought it for members of my family who can't get enough of this man. We have read the biographies of him that lean heavily on ...
The Iron Hunt (Hunter Kiss, Book 1)
Marjorie M. Liu
Ace
, 2008
Action in the Labyrinth
Wow, just what the doctor ordered! A book of a strong heroine who kicks evils [...] minus the sloppy sex scenes of Laurell Hamilton's work! It has a love interest but stays on the story of this extraordinary woman, not the bedroom. If you want that, get "Blood Noir" ...
East of Eden
John Steinbeck
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2002
Knocked For A Loop
When I bought this book, Steinbeck could not have been further off my radar. I suppose I expected a solid, picaresque novel that was good in a musty "literature" sort of way. I could not have been more wrong. I don't think that I have ever been punched in the gut more ...
I Still Have It . . . I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It: Confessions of a Fiftysomething
Rita Rudner
Harmony
, 2008
SHE'S STILL GOT IT!
Rita hasn't gotten senile enough yet to have misplaced her sense of humor. She gives us a zany look into the world of a 30-year-old comedienne locked inside a fiftysomething body. She manages to find the zanyness (is that a word?) in the mundane, the absurdity in all ...

Thomas Cahill
Anchor

perfect title, entertaining read
The title gives a good feel for the tone of the book. It's clever, informative, and very entertaining. You learn without feeling like you hit the history books, and you're left thinking about lessons for the future -- the most important reason to look back at the ...
The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment
Babette Rothschild
W. W. Norton & Company
, 2000
Finally................................
After 26 years of thinking, "I should be over it", I now know its part of my body, not just my brain. I remember yelling out loud, THATS IT, and thinking I felt better immediately. I wasn't a loser, basket case mental job, but "my body remembers". I gave the book to my ...
Clapton: The Autobiography
Eric Clapton
Broadway
, 2007
Clapton's Good Confession
Yesterday I read Clapton's amazing autobiography in one sitting. Now I must admit, I took my teenage kids to a day-long music festival where the primary genre was "screamo". So while they were taking in the head-banging and mosh-pit action, I listened to Mark ...
