Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith
Jon Krakauer

Anchor, 2004

Meticulously researched and well presented
There are far better and longer reviews than mine posted here, so I hesitated to even attempt one. However, I've traveled to many of the places described in Jon's book, including Separation Canyon (within the Grand Canyon) and Colorado City, long before the ...

Mary Pope Osborne

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2008

great value, Great books.
Wonderful books for beginning readers. This box set is great value. I bought the first set of these books for my 6 year old nephew. He lives in the UK where these books are not so readily available as they are here. He is enjoying them very much, so my plan is to be ...
  
  











  



  
The Dark Is Rising (Boxed Set): The Dark Is Rising, Greenwitch, Over Sea, Under Stone, Silver on the Tree, ...
Susan Cooper

Aladdin, 2007

Beautifully written fantasy
"The Dark Is Rising" series is a beautifully written series based on British folklore. It is a children's series, but adults with an interest in British lore will enjoy it as well. The characters are well drawn, and the rising suspense makes this a page-turner for ...
  
  











  



  
I.O.U.S.A.: One Nation. Under Stress. In Debt.
Addison Wiggin, Kate Incontrera

Wiley, 2008

Perfect Education about the Current State of Affairs
What a great read. I think what I like about this book is the format and the perfect level of detail. If you are looking for a scholarly analysis of our debt situation, keep looking. But if you are "ordinary" like me, this should keep you intrigued. I like the way ...
  
  











  



  
I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence
Amy Sedaris

Grand Central Publishing, 2006

This book is not for ladies who want to serve tea and sandwiches...
I love this book. She is a genius. Writing & photos are funy, and I want to try the recipes! BUT, it isn't for everyone. I was reading the 1 star reviews, and was sorry to see how people weren't getting it. It is a Kitschy, Rated R, humorous book on hospitality. If you ...

Mark Bauerlein

Tarcher, 2008

"A Generation Whose Minds Plateau at Age 18"
The dumbing-down of America continues at an astounding pace and an Emory University English professor believes that he knows why it is happening. Mark Bauerlein has written a book that will likely irritate as many people as there will be people who will praise it for ...
  
  











  



  
Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions
John Kotter, Holger Rathgeber, ...

St. Martin's Press, 2006

Great book
I have read John Kotter's previous work on leading change so I was curious as to whether his concepts could be effectively conveyed in fable form. To my delight, I discovered that Kotter put his own findings about the power of stories to work to create an engaging ...
  
  











  



  
The Wine Trials: 100 Everyday Wines Under $15 that Beat $50 to $150 Wines in Brown-Bag Blind Tastings
Robin Goldstein

Fearless Critic Media, 2008

A valuable guide
Robin Goldstein is a gadfly. He's notorious for submitting a wine menu from a fictitious restaurant to Wine Spectator magazine and earning the magazine's "Award of Excellence." Yet the "reserve wine list" from his menu listed wines earning some of the lowest scores ...
  
  











  



  
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (Scholastic Classics)
Jules Verne

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003

Good quality Kindle transcription
There are a number of low-cost Kindle editions of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Unfortunately the transcription quality varies, with one suffering from lots of spurious line-breaks and another suffering from awkward not-quite-in-place footnotes. After reviewing ...
  
  











  



  
Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism
James Robert Milam, Katherine Ketcham

Bantam, 1984

Why this book is SO very important for families of alcoholics
I train counselors and counsel families of alcoholics, and when a family member is having a very difficult time (even though she is trying hard) to understand that this is a disease----I refer her to this book. This helps her to see so well, that his rage is because ...
  
  











  



  
Red Seas Under Red Skies
Scott Lynch

Spectra, 2008

Great book!
This was a stay-up-until-dawn read, just like the first one. I hope he carries these characters forward into many books. The fact that they can sort of stand-alone is nice too - no long wait for resolution of the main plotline.
  
  











  



  
Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty
Joy Masoff

Workman Publishing Company, 2000

That's Nasty!
I bought this for your typical 11 year old boy. He loved it, I'm not sure how much mom did. That is one very clever way to get boys that age to read a book on their own. And they learn a thing or two along the way. Heck I would have like this when I was a kid. Remember ...
  
  











  



  
Mutant Message Down Under, Tenth Anniversary Edition
Marlo Morgan

Harper Paperbacks, 2004

Unexpected self discovery, so far and yet so near....
This succinct, accessible, and fascinating book is truly a journey about and of self-discovery. I read it twice within a week's time: the first was a page-turner; the second, more contempletive, thoughtful, and at an intensly slower pace. I will undoubtedly re-read ...
