Hyperion

Words of wisdom from an outstanding executive coach
From a purely economic perspective, this may be among the most valuable books in print. If every executive followed the advice in this book, we wouldn't have more than 100 million Americans who are not engaged in their jobs and, as a result, productivity and ...
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday
, 2008
A History Lesson and a Warning for the Future
I have always been interested in history and remember reading many articles and books about FDR and the Depression. The opposition to the New Deal was usually painted as "those rich guys just don't want to share." Packing the Supreme Court I knew about, but not the ...
What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception
Scott McClellan
PublicAffairs
, 2008
The last chapter is the best, worth the price of the book
Okay, we all bought this book to find out if someone who's been on the inside of the big opaque white box would confirm what we all suspected, or give us someone to tar and feather if we're prone to unquestioning partisan loyalties. Although there is some 3-star ...

Dont be Fleeced by the 1 Star LOONS
Please ignore the 1 Star LOONS. It is clear from their postings that they have not even opened the book. It would be nice if people who post messages about books would have actualy read the book they comment on. Get Fleeced. It is a good read.
The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crash of 2008 and What It Means
George Soros
PublicAffairs
, 2008
Cliff Notes on Soros
This 208 page book might be thought of as Cliff Notes for his previous 367 page book, The Alchemy of Finance, and will appeal to the same audience. During the 21 years between the books, Soros has mellowed somewhat and now describes his extreme Popperian position as ...

Sharon Mazel
Workman Publishing Company

Surprisingly good
I bought a few books the months after we found out that my wife was pregnant. Initially i stayed away from this book, because even though the reviews were pretty good, i was really turned off by the look/design of the book, especially in the previous editions, with the ...

Michael E. Gerber
HarperCollins
, 1995
Repurchase of an old friend
I purchased two copies of this. One to give to a friend and one to replace my original which had become a victim of one of my wife's cleaning campaigns. I will get around to re-reading this in due course, but I have, over the years, referenced sections of it. A ...

Excellent Book.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting and at times funny. I did not want to put it down. However, if you are looking for a get rich quick idea or scheme, it is not in this book. Also, if you are not interested in real estate, you may not like this ...

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Bill Martin Jr.
Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
, 1996
I have read this book every night for the past 8 months . . . .
as part of the bedtime routine for my now 18 mo old boy. Of course, I am able to recite it by rote after oh, about 10,000 times. I don't even have to pay attention any more, as he knows where to turn the pages. Why do I keep doing this night after night? Because every ...
What Is the What (Vintage)
Dave Eggers
Vintage
, 2007
Unflinchingly Honest
Eggers unflinchingly honest handling of the destruction, hope, and loneliness of 'The Lost Boys' reveals new insights and personalizes the struggle. Hard to read the stories, but impossible to put down.
Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What!
Martha Beck
Rodale Books
, 2008
Great advice in a great package
I just love Martha Beck's writing style. She takes high-level concepts and makes them easy to understand. I've tried reading another very popular book with a similar message (you can probably guess which one), but I just couldn't get it. What Beck does best is offer ...

Rick Warren

Great study book for a group
My husband and I used this book to do an almost year long study with our house church group a few years ago. We did a chapter a week and had discussions and worked through the Points to Ponder and Questions together. Probably time to revisit this book I think! ...
unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters
David Kinnaman
,
Gabe Lyons
Baker Books
, 2007
Just a thought
The previous reviews and the book express a theme very common in the New Testament. The description of the understanding of "christian" sounds an awful lot like the biblical description of the Pharisees. Both Jesus and Paul were condemned by the religious people of ...
