Wanted
Mark Millar, J.G. Jones
Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2007
WANTED = worst graphic novel of all time
this is a terrible book.
it's written for teenage boys with rape and murder fantasies. plus, it's not even clever. even the dialog is lame. so much of WANTED just makes no sense. parallel dimensions? villains who rule the world but only wear their costumes ...

Music Theory for Guitarists: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask
Tom Kolb
Hal Leonard, 2005
Excellent
Tells you all about music theory as it relates to guitar.
This won't give you any riffs. That's not the point of the book. It explains music theory as it applies to the guitar and gives you a framework in which to create those riffs. It works very well as a ...

The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories
Etgar Keret
Toby Press, 2004
Brilliant
I read this book in its Spanish translation before reading the English one -- they each read a bit differently but Keret's literary brilliance comes through in either: a forceful plunge into humanity's flaws.

A Complaint Free World: How to Stop Complaining and Start Enjoying the Life You Always Wanted
Will Bowen
Doubleday, 2007
Highly Recommended
The first thing to understand about A Complaint Free World is that Will Bowen is NOT saying to be a doormat! He explicitly says "Directing a comment to someone who can improve your situation is not complaining." He says "I am NOT advocating remaining silent when there ...

Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid They'd Ask): The Secrets to ...
Justin Richardson, Mark Schuster
Three Rivers Press, 2004
Wildly entertaining for a "how to" book!
Half way through the first chapter, I was nodding, laughing and remembering. The author and editors are dead-on with their descriptions and stories. Their advice is absolutely bar none.
I put down the book after the first chapter and realized that it was so well ...

New Scientist
Free Press, 2006
Oddball questions, clever answers
I've always been a fan of trivia books -- you know, those books that are full of factoids and/or short bits of knowledge. They often have a problem though -- they tend to run a lot of items without fact checking. The question-and-answer type (as exemplified by David ...

Doubleday, 2008
inspirational
I found Rabbi Hirsch's book, We Plan, God Laughs, warm, funny and inspirational. I've read numerous self-help books, but this one was special. Rabbi Hirsch's very human, very jewish, voice came through loud and clear and gave the book a personal reach that most of ...
