The Overlook (Harry Bosch)
Michael Connelly
Vision, 2008
A great addition to the "Harry Bosch" series!
I became a fan of the "Harry Bosch" novels by Michael Connelly late in life. I think it was the movie, Blood Work, starring Clint Eastwood and based on one of Connelly's other books, that caused me to buy The Narrows when it came out in paperback. I read that and ...

Women's Voices, Feminist Visions: Classic and Contemporary Readings
Susan M. Shaw, Janet Lee
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2005
Excellent textbook for Intro to Women's Studies
I love this anthology for many reasons and find it ideal for an Intro level WS class. Each chapter begins with an introduction that summarizes the readings and puts them in a context. I expect the intros to be a little overwhelming for my students, but then we take ...

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)
Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, ...
Addison-Wesley Professional, 1994
THE design patterns book
This book is a classic and doesn't require any further presentations. It is THE Design Patterns bible and every OO programmer should read at least a couple of times.
The samples are in C++ and sometimes Smalltalk but that really doesn't change anything even if you ...

Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Information Science and Statistics)
Christopher M. Bishop
Springer, 2007
Probably the best book for machine learning
I am a PhD student in machine learning. Bishop is really gifted and he explains very well basic and advanced concepts of machine learning. I would say that this book is much more comprehensive than Hastie's Statistical learning book The Elements of Statistical ...

Visions of Sugar Plums
Janet Evanovich, 2002
Wacky romp
Visions of Sugar Plums will stretch your imagination to its limits. Evanovich's characters are always a joy, but this is a bit outside even her usual freaky creations. The addition of a supernatural element will surprise even the biggest Stephanie Plum fan, but in her ...

Cat & Mouse (Alex Cross)
James Patterson
Vision, 1998
Another Great Book!
I really loved this book. Not only did it have the return of the series' best psycho (so far), but it also featured another memorable psycho, Mr. Smith. The ending is so twisted and unbelievable. I loved every minute of it and couldn't get enough of it. S.L. Chessor ...

Don Sausa
The Vision Press, 2007
Best tax lien book so far
I've bought a couple of tax lien books after seeing some commercials on TV. This is the easiest so far to understand because it breaks down the auction process and the research process into steps and checklists. The other books tend to give you an encyclopedia ...

I never thought I would enjoy a character as much as Alex Cross, but Michael Bennett was great. Imagine being a police detective with 10 adopted kids. The twists in this book were great. I can't wait for the next book! Great job, Mr Patterson. S.L. Chessor author of ...
