Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth, 73rd Edition
The Onion
Little, Brown and Company
, 2007
Where's my free globe?
Mine never came with the "Free Globe Inside" promised on the cover, but I bet it was stolen from my copy which I borrowed from the library. It's a challenge to take on around two hundred countries, maps, flags, and funny little photos and keep you not only amused but ...
Magic Tree House Boxed Set, Books 1-4: Dinosaurs Before Dark, The Knight at Dawn, Mummies in the Morning, and ...
Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers
, 2001
great for the imagination
I bought the set as a gift for my nephew, whom is in second grade. Hoping to spark his interest in reading. The Magic Tree House books were the first books that grabbed my own sons interested when he began reading. He would devour a book in a couple of days and ...
Goodnight Bush: A Parody
Gan Golan
,
Erich Origen
Little, Brown and Company
, 2008
Perfect place to sum up the Bush years...
...in a parody of a children's book. The Bush years have definitely been a parody of a presidency. And there has never been a more childish, immature, ridiculous person in the Oval Office. This is the perfect gift for all the people on your list who have suffered ...
Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink
Random House
, 2007
Seventy Years of Great Writing about Dining Out, Food, Beverages, and Dieting
In praising Secret Ingredients, I'm torn between praising the writing style or the content more highly. Both are superb. As a reading experience, you'll find your mouth watering, your mind remembering tastes and aromas you haven't experienced in years, your eyes ...

Poppy
, 2008
Kristen sets sail on the Love Boat... With the rest of the Pretty Committee scattered across the globe, Kristen is stuck in summer school at OCD, making good on her scholarship commitments. No sleepover horse camp, no Hawaiian spa, no Spanish vacation, not even a trip to Orlando. But when Kristen scores a job looking after hang-ten hottie Dune ...
How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines
Thomas C. Foster
Harper Paperbacks
, 2003
great book for students
This is a lively, friendly, entertaining book that is great for students. It discusses how to read, to to really read literature. But as a practiced reader I found that it didn't teach me much, though it would be great for a freshman or sophmore.
My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands
Chelsea Handler
Bloomsbury USA
, 2005
Cleverly written ....
After reading Chelsea Handler's second book (Are you there Vodka? It's me Chelsea), I became an instant fan of her writing. So naturally when I heard that she had another book before, I had to get that one as well. I was not let down at all by her writing in this book ...
The Clique Summer Collection #3: Alicia (Clique Series)
Poppy
, 2008
Best of the Summer Collection So Far!!
As for the Summer Series, Massie was pretty good, Dylan was disappointingly not well-written, so I picked up Alicia with some reservation. It was fabuloso times ten!! I loved the story line set in the beautiful five star Hotel Lindo in Spain. We get to know Nina once ...
Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book
Ben Cohen

Jerry Greenfield

Workman Publishing Company
, 1987
Nearly perfect recipe book
I have a number of ice cream recipe books, and I also have my mother's custard-style ice cream recipe from way back. While I love custard-style ice cream, it is a lot of work, and sometimes I just want to throw together some ingredients and toss them into my MUSSO ...
When You Are Engulfed in Flames
Hachette Audio
, 2008
He Will Make You Laugh... At Life!
In When You Are Engulfed in Flames, David Sedaris explores a new world, Japan, but this time he's on a mission... one of giving up smoking! It's as raucous as his escape to Paris and Normandy in Me Talk Pretty One Day but with an eastern twist that transcends all ...
The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat: And Other Clinical Tales
Oliver Sacks
Touchstone
, 1998
Extremely Helpful
This book has helped me in so many ways to understand the human mind. I can't say enough about this book, except to tell people to buy it.
Robert Frank: The Americans
Steidl/National Gallery of Art, Washington
, 2008
new printing, The Americans
Quite simply this is one of the most influential photography books I have ever seen. For years purchasing this had eluded me and it's price had become quite high as well. Am so glad to have this book out where I can open the plates and refresh myself with Robert ...
Harry Potter Boxset Books 1-7
J. K. Rowling
Arthur A. Levine Books
, 2007
Perfect for any Muggle!
I bought this set for my brother-in-law and he loved it! He's a HUGE Harry Potter fan (as am I) and bought them for him as a surprise after I had marred a few of his hardcover books. They come in a cute trunk. Like I mentioned earlier: perfect for any Muggle!
Armageddon in Retrospect
Kurt Vonnegut
Putnam Adult
, 2008
Pleased
It has been a while since I read Kurt Vonnegut books, but this one helped me remember why I liked his writing so much. I was afraid this was going to be left overs but it is not and it is a great wrap up of Vonnegut's work.
Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes
Edith Hamilton
Grand Central Publishing
, 1999
A classic introduction.....
I remember being captivated by this book and its stories when I was in the 5th grade. I recently bought it for my 5th-grade daughter, when she started reading the "Pendragon" series, so she would have a better understanding of the mythological references in that ...
