The Odyssey: The Fitzgerald Translation

Homer

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998

The Odyssey. Homer/ Robert Fitzgerald, translator.
"Odysseus rolled his head to one side softly, ducking the blow, and smiled a crooked smile with teeth clenched." It's been a few years since I read Walden, but I recall Thoreau stating that Homer's epics should be read in no language but Greek. He may have been ...

Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Daniel Goleman

Bantam Books, 2005

An Audacious Proposal for a Paradigm Shift in our Public Schools
Most of the reviews of this book claim it gave them new insights. Me too. Only what I "take home" as most important from this book is quite different than what others have said in their reviews. I spent my working career as a civil servant (now retired), an ...

Henry the World-class Glutton

Speak

Laurie Halse Anderson

Puffin, 2006

This has meaning. Pain.
My mom found this book on a plane. Someone left it there perhaps accidently as they were gathering up their suitcases, or as I prefer to believe, because they finished reading it and wanted others to read about it. That's why I love books so much they are meant to be ...

Wheelock's Latin (Wheelock's Latin)

Frederic M. Wheelock, Richard A. Lafleur

Collins, 2005

Latin Review Text
This book is a great review of Latin and the pedagogy of Latin but it is not for the first-time student in place of a live teacher. It is complete, a bit different that the text I have used but is worth every cent. It is a great text and a supplement to a course but ...

The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness

Dave Ramsey

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Great Book- palatable- laymans terms
Great book. He does a nice job laying out the basics. As he says there is nothing in there you haven't heard from your Grandmother or the bible. It's not a "Christian" book, it's a get-yourself-safe from financial risk book. I highlighted it and went back and took ...

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses

Dorothy Richmond

McGraw-Hill, 1996

The perfect guide to accompany your Spanish studies
I would recommend this book along with Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions for any level learner of Spanish, but I'd advise you to have a little bit previous knowledge. It's really cheap, explains every important concept in a very simple way and ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

Thought-provoking and challenging work
I purchased this in hardcover as soon as it came out, and when I received my Kindle I purchased it again so I'd have it handy. Simply put...this is an outstanding work. Meticulously researched yet written in an approachable style, Goldberg makes an effective ...

Toilet Training in Less Than A Day

Nathan Azrin

Pocket, 1989

This is the best method for boys
I was given a remaindered copy of this book 25+ years ago and made the mistake of not reading it in time to train my first son. It was a long, painful process with him. I had 4 more boys and, with the second, dreaded toilet training when he got to that age. I dredged ...

Rodale Books, 2006

Biggest Loser Cookbook has great recipes, my husband eats them.
This cookbook is great and provided me with great stuff for my husband and I to eat. Trying to get Coach D to eat healthy is kinda hard. So if I fill him up on these great dishes, maybe I can keep him healthy. Most of the recipes are easy and quick to fix.

Arriba: Comunicacion y cultura Student Edition (5th Edition) (MySpanishLab Series)

Eduardo Zayas-Bazán, Susan M. Bacon, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

This text is a waste of money, and perhaps your tax dollars
This book is expensive and practically useless for self study, but a required text at my university-- and if you are reading this, then it is assumable that you are in the same situation and you're about to have to suck a mighty sour lemon. I am sorry to tell you that ...
