Too Fat to Fish

This book is awesome. Johnny G's baby!

The Art of Racing in the Rain
Garth Stein

Harper, 2008

Do not miss out on this story!
I read a review for this book in our local newspaper, written by a high school journalist. Like her, I do not find "animal" stories on the top of my list, so a dog on the cover would never have intrigued me. Like her, also, I found this story to be a human story, ...

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
Chelsea Handler

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008

It's Laugh Out Loud Funny
A really funny, quick read. Some of it was a little over the top, but definitely entertaining and worth it. I listened to it on audio, and Chelsea's voice cracked me up. She sounded just like a good friend of mine, and it was like I was listening to her go through ...
  
  











  



  
The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Jeannette Walls

Scribner, 2006

Adults as Children and Children as Adults
This memoir got book deals for several dozen marginal writers with bad childhoods, but those books have been awful compared to this one. Jeannette Walls has enough experience as a writer to tell a story. We have the typical bad dad -- the Angela's Ashes model where he ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

A "must-read" book on creating presentations...
It's almost a cliche to complain about how most presentations are horrible. But fortunately there are a select few books out there that take you beyond the mechanics of creating a presentation. Nancy Duarte has one of those books that need to be read by every ...

William Strunk's book "The Elements of Style" was recommended to me by an American friend, whose linguistic abilities I value very high. I ordered the book immediately and was surprised, when it arrived, by how thin it was. It turned out to be a compendium, which would ...
