The Book of Questions
Gregory Stock
Workman Publishing Company, 1987
great book to start conversations, great for singles
Love this book. I have a lot of similar books and it's one of the best. Love that it's so small and you can take it anywhere. Questions are pretty tame, which is great for when you're first meeting people. Nothing too sexual or anything...although there is a "sex" ...

Total Control
David Baldacci
Vision, 1997
A terrific read
This is an older novel that has lost none of its steam. Their are many twists and turns, but for the most part they retain the plausibility that often goes out the window. Since this is an older book and technology plays such a strong role, there are many things which ...

Jurassic Park
Michael Crichton
Ballantine Books, 1991
A true classic
Ok so finally aftering seeing the movies so many times, I finally found a copy of the book in the one of the bedrooms upstairs.
I have to say, the beginning of this book is very drab,
Yadda yadda yadda, let me see some blood.
and after the fun started I couldnt ...

The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Anchor, 2006
Fantastic Read. Read this one and ended up read all of his books.
Ignore the religious truth or whatever. This is a fantastic thriller with great writing. Angels and Demons is slightly better in my opinion, but this book is on the top of my list as must reads. Absolutely fantastic writing.

Hour Game
David Baldacci
Vision, 2005
An Enthralling Suspenseful Thriller
I found Baldacci's novel excellent. The characters believable. The story seems to have to separate plots in the beginning, which nicely come together as one. There are twists & turns throughout the novel which centers around an elite family in a small Virginia town. ...

Pirates Past Noon (Magic Tree House, No. 4)
Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1994
MY BOY LOVES READING IT
My 1st grader hates to put it down, he would rather read Magic Tree House books, than play video games. He even reads them to his class and explains the story for show and tell. In his kindergarten class the teacher would also let him read the Magic Tree House books ...

Earthquake in the Early Morning (Magic Tree House #24) (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))
Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2001
Awesome!
I have had my share reading books with my two younger children for their AR goals in school, and I must say this series is just awesome. They are short enough to read one per night and test on the next day! Very interesting as well, even for an adult! Can't wait to ...

The Thorn Birds
Colleen Mccullough
Avon, 1979
My all time favorite novel.
I am a reader. I love reading classics, plays, all kinds of things. Yet, when people ask me what my *all time* favorite is, it is The Thorn Birds. When telling people about it, it seems kind of like a trashy novel, not real "literature". I can't describe it, it is ...

The Fire Cat (I Can Read Book 1)
HarperTrophy, 1983
My daughter's first real chapter book
My daughter (she's six) just finished reading this book herself, out loud to me at bedtime. It took her four or five nights to read the three short chapters.
In the middle of the book, when Pickles the cat has a small triumph, she said "it makes me cry!" and at the ...

Mark Oldman
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004
Make it your first book on wine!
If you are buying your first book on wine, let it be this one. I have previously bought some other books that were advertised as aimed towards non professionals, but I found many parts of them very hard to read. Oldman's guide is worth reading, and it can awaken the ...

Patriot Games (Jack Ryan)
Tom Clancy
Berkley, 1988
Another best novel by Clancy
I watched the movie for this one when I was younger and I read the novel for it a few years ago. This novel is different from his others, this one does not focus on Russia or the middle east, but on Ireland and the war between Northern Ireland and the UK.

The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss
Arthur Agatston
Rodale Books, 2003
Love this book!
My Dr. suggested this diet to me after coming to him several times with no luck on other diets. So far, I've lost 15 1/2 pounds and I've only been on the diet 3 weeks.
The diet is not for everyone. ALWAYS check with your family doctor first. If your Doctor ok's it ...
