Little, Brown and Company, 2003 The Bible of Parenting This is by far, the best book I have read on parenting!! I continue to use it again and again.

I think they should ...             Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy—Until You're 80 and Beyond Chris Crowley, M.D., Henry S. Lodge Workman Publishing Company, 2007 If you are over 50 you will find this book fascinating I found this book, recommended by my doctor (he tells all his patients over 50 to buy it), completely changed my mental approach to excercise.

Written by ...             The Ten-Year Nap Meg Wolitzer Riverhead Hardcover, 2008 For my daughter I purchased this book for my daughter based on an NPR interview with the author.

There are some ...             White Male Privilege: A Study of Racism in America 40 Years After the Voting Rights Act Mark Rosenkranz Law Dog Books, 2007 Introspective As Well As Thought Provoking What strikes me about this book is the fact that the author seems to genuinely care about the responses he gets from his interviewees.

Barbara Kingsolver, Camille Kingsolver, ... Harper Perennial, 2008 A fun read with a message you can argue with If I had never read another work of Kingsolver's, this one alone would have turned me into an instant fan, though the truth is I already love her fiction.
