Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America
Thomas L. Friedman

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

Should be put in textbook format for schools
This was not the most fun book to read but it should be required reading. We have to address these issues. Here, for once, are good ideas that can be achieved. This perfect for holiday giving.
  
  











  



  
Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)
Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

"Brisingr" By Christopher Paolini
Brisingr which is the third book in the now Inheritance Cycle is a very good read it's better then the previous two books by far in my opinion, and it shows that Paolini is maturing as a writer. Brisingr starts off a few days after "Eldest" left off with Eragon, ...
  
  











  



  
Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

A little reluctant.
I have to admit considering I have a fantasy/sci-fi book addiction I tried to avoid this series all together. Well two days ago I finally gave in to one of the most endearing stories. I loved this book and I can't wait to read New Moon. Considering I read Twilight ...
  
  











  



  
Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)
Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2002

Read with caution - This series is addictive
I read the first in this series, "Dead Until Dark" and loved it. This installment "hooked me". Sookie finds herself seriously attacked by a "creature" and is saved from a certain death by the vampires by a quite unusual approach. Sookie and Bill find themselves ...
  
  











  



  
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

inspiring
Truly inspiring. This man is a hero, his story and his message need to be passed on if we are to aspire to make peace in the world. Read this book if it is the only one you read ever.
  
  











  



  
Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Action-packed
The most action-packed book of the series-interesting histories of the Cullen family and Jacob's tribe members.
  
  











  



  
New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Excellent book
This is a great sequel to Twilight. Stephenie Meyers really hammers in the impact of the characters' relationships, and creates a love triangle for us to argue over.
  
  











  



  
A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity
Bill O'Reilly

Broadway, 2008

Entertaining recollections of early phone sex and saying "shut up".
O'Reilly candidly writes about the first time he phoned his beloved teacher, Sister Lurana, and made depraved sexual demands of her. Sister Lurana responded with a loud and angry "Shut up" repeated several times as O'Reilly joyfully continued his perverted sexual ...
  
  











  



  
The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
Andrew Bacevich

Metropolitan Books, 2008

IRAQ WAR VETS AGREE
Even before I read Col. Bacevich's OUTSTANDING book, I wrote several letters to the editor at my local level warning the same thing; most were not printed as they were seen as being too long or stinging. Every vet who knows anything about anything that I served with in ...
  
  











  



  
Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Loved the whole series
I really liked the whole series and I'm sad that it's over. I spent more time just reading and enjoying it than picking it apart like other reviews. What's relaxing about trying to find mistakes in the book instead of just reading?
  
  











  



  
The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman

HarperCollins, 2008

It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures. Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly ...
  
  











  



  
Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism
Kevin Phillips

Viking Adult, 2008

We must act quickly
A well researched view of how the United States has come to be a seriously indebted, precariously troubled economy which could lead to the end of our role as the world's dominant nation. Everyone should read this book to understand our present situation and what the ...
  
  











  



  
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
American Psychological Association

American Psychological Association (APA), 2001

Handbook
I like this version. Smaller, lighter, easier to take. I use it when reading papers and doing mine. However it will be more diserable if they keep the red blod words which make the title and keywords more clear. I know some of the student buy it because the instructors ...
  
  











  



  
The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Naomi Klein

Picador, 2008

Keynes vindicated
Roll on Naomi Klein! I think she has hit the nail right on the head When I was studying economics at Australia's Monash University between 1965 and 1969, our first three years were devoted to the study of the economics of John Maynard Keynes, a man with both heart ...
  
  











  



  
Watchmen
Alan Moore

DC Comics, 1995

There's good, there's great, there's Watchmen
What can I say that hasn't already been said. Excellent story. Excellent character development. I had Watchmen years ago and read it. I shared it, and it vanished. I had it again, and reluctantly shared it again - GONE. The only thing I would caution you about buying ...
