The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
Houghton Mifflin

A Book for Every Thinking Person's "Must Read" List
One will readily expect the perceptions and reviews of Richard Dawkins' THE GOD DELUSION to fall along what might euphemistically be called "party lines." Blue Staters, rationalists, and the college educated (especially in mathematics, engineering, the sciences, and ...

Where There Is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook
This book was designed for primitive health care. It isn't set up to turn the layman into a surgeon. For what it is; it does an excellent job. A huge block of it has little use here in the states, but there is at least one good tip on every page. Once you move ...

The Future of Tommorow - Highly Recommended!
Marshall Goldsmith illustrates the concept of focusing the mind on positive ways of thinking. He has provided "20 annoying habits". He has written how they need to be "eliminated"; until your thoughts have been clearly defined. As a reader, I can relate to most of ...

Just Browsing
I was just browsing in one of the airport book shops with no plans to purchase a book. I am in recovery from an eating disorder and when I saw this title it immediately drew me to the book. I started reading it and from the very first paragraph I could relate, not in a ...

For someone growing up from a Buddhist culture, I feel the author has captured the essence of meditation. Specifically, the author reminds to practice meditation without feeling that you are better than everyone else, which is what I have felt. He also suggests to ...

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 ...

Is There Really a Human Race?
Jamie Lee Curtis
Joanna Cotler
, 2006
A picture book for grown-ups, too
While I don't usually review picture books, I highly recommend this charming book for adults who need to be reminded to slow down. I bought a copy to purchase for a youngster -- but was so moved by the message that I plan to keep it myself and will have to buy another. ...

There's No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System (Cat in the Hat's Lrning Libry)
Tish Rabe
Random House Books for Young Readers
, 1999
Inexplicably fun
My son sees this book at his doctor's office and begged for his own copy. He's usually a truck guy, so I don't understand his attraction to this book, but he definitely strongly likes it. And, heck, there's no harm in him learning the names of planets and a bit about ...

Walker Books for Young Readers

Just what I needed!
My son went through puberty early (10), and was too embarrassed to talk about anything. I gave him the book. He read it (he hid it, so I have no idea when he would sneak a peak!), and then when I would bring up things, he already knew about them, or would finally ask ...
