Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong
James W. Loewen
Touchstone, 2007
I have never had a book have such a profound impact on me
This book is a must read. After finishing this book I immediately bought several copies for friends and relatives. I was outraged to find just how much I have been lied to and how these lies and omissions have changed my world view. This was an eye opener.
I can ...

God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It (Plus)
Jim Wallis
HarperOne, 2006
A much needed antidote to the Religious Right
I have had this book since 2005 and find it to be even more appropriate today as we near the 2008 Presidential election. Wallis does an excellent job of making his case for why Christians have an obligation to be involved in the political process. However, he also lays ...

Everything You Know About God Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Religion
The Disinformation Company, 2007
Essential Reading
This book is highly recommended for just one of it's many sections - I am referring to the article by Ruth Green entitled "The God From Galilee" which analyses the gospels in a way that reveals a very different side to Jesus Christ than that with which most people ...

One Wrong Step
Laura Griffin
Pocket Star, 2008
Picks up where it left off...
I was blown away by the first book "One Last Breath". I couldnt wait to get the second installment of the series "One Wrong Step". The first book was really focusing on Feenie, Marco, and getting her ex husband behind bars for his illegal acts. Marco was searching for ...

What's Wrong, Little Pookie?
Sandra Boynton
Robin Corey Books, 2007
Best Boynton ever!
We LOVE this hilarious book! My husband and I read it together for our 1 year-old son (I usually read the Pookie part) and it cracks us up every time. When my son is upset and getting fussy, simply reciting the 1st few lines of the book will often calm him down. ...

The Book of Animal Ignorance: Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong
John Mitchinson, John Lloyd
Harmony, 2008
Addictive animal trivia
I defy you to read even a few pages of this little book and not be tempted to yell out to whoever else is in the house: "Did you know that ...?" The other person will laugh and say "You made that up!"
This is a perfect book for people who love animals and/or arcane ...

Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong: Why We Love France but Not the French
Jean-Benoit Nadeau, Julie Barlow
Sourcebooks, Inc., 2003
Need to Read
A great book, that I bought after visiting France. Wish I had read it before our trip! It really helps explain why the French are like they are. Not rude, just having different ideas of "public" and "private" issues. Best point - make sure you say "bonjour" before ...

Are You the One for Me?: Knowing Who's Right and Avoiding Who's Wrong
Barbara De Angelis
Dell, 1994
A must-have self help book
This book is fantastic! I cannot recommend it more strongly. The book is not a naff 'how to get a man' book, it really helps you work out why you make mistakes not only with partners, but also with relationships generally. It really helps you get to know yourself and ...

The Perfect Wrong Note: Learning to Trust Your Musical Self
William Westney
Amadeus Press, 2006
simply the best
This is my favorite book about music-making (classical piano, in my case). Westney very convincingly makes the case for an overhaul of the way we approach music practice and performance. The 'juicy wrong note' idea promotes a wholistic, passionate attitude. It is ...

Dead Wrong (Joanna Brady Mysteries, Book 12)
J. A. Jance
Harper, 2007
You Won't Be Able to Put it Down
This installment in the Sheriff Joanna Brady series was hard to put down. I liked the way the author had Joanna's Dad's diaries as part of the plot. We got to "know" him as well as see into the past. Joanna is a role model for all women. If you work hard enough you can ...
