The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Timothy Ferriss
Crown, 2007
Loved It!
This book inspired me. It planted the seed for me to eventually create my own "deliverable product," a book (Lipstick Ghetto: The Girls' Guide to Escaping the 9-to-5 Rat Race). The 4-hour Workweek not only offers practical advice...but it also offers motivational tips ...
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World
Patrick J. Buchanan
Crown, 2008
A masterpiece
I never thought I would be writing a favorable review of a book by Pat Buchanan but, as that infamous Catholic theologoan Martin Luther once said, "Heresy, so be it. It is still the truth." Buchanan has written a masterpiece. Built on the foundation set down by ...

Crown, 2008
Eating for health
Great book. Not boring at all like a lot of health books are written. I thought I knew it all on this subject but I learned so much more. I learned new things not discussed in other books or materials I have read. I will purchase more of these books and give them ...
The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why
Amanda Ripley
Crown, 2008
Becoming a survivor instead of a statistic...
So you find yourself in the midst of a 9/11-type disaster or a natural disaster like an earthquake. Observing from a distance, it's easy to second-guess the decisions of those whose lives are threatened. You think you'd be far more decisive and intelligent. But ...
A Champion's Mind: Lessons from a Life in Tennis
Pete Sampras
,
Peter Bodo
Crown, 2008
Great life a super star!
This was a great book, I bought it for my husband who is a big Sampras fan, but I read it, and it was great! He did a great joy talking about his life and his family.
The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine
Benjamin Wallace
Crown, 2008
We need a new TV series: CSI Bordeaux
As a wine writer for more than 30 years who knows some of the players mentioned in the book, I enjoyed the way Benjamin Wallace cleverly wove together history, the world of wine and France in particular and the hoax so many bought into. Not only does he chronicle an ...
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
Barack Obama
Crown, 2007
Great Book
This is the book that introduced me to Barack Obama and made me a fan. You will understand Obama by reading this book and why his American experience is closer to today's America than other Presidential candidates.
Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!)
Douglas Brown
Crown, 2008
An Amazing Story of Discovery
I bought this book because I felt it might be good for a few laughs about a couple who decided to have sex for 100 days but what I found was so much more. Do not buy this book if you think that it is going to be some wild crazy play-by-play of their sexual romps. ...
The Uprising: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt Scaring Wall Street and Washington
David Sirota
Crown, 2008
Fantastic
Well-written, better than "Hostile Takeover." You can tell now by reading this book that Sirota has more confidence in his writing style and isn't afraid to pepper his stories with a very human narrator, something that's important in titles like this where readers are ...
Not in the Flesh: A Wexford Novel (Inspector Wexford Mystery)
Ruth Rendell
Crown, 2008
She's still got it!
The thing I love about Ruth Rendell is that in addition to having a good who-dun-it, she also explores how British life is changing and what ordinary people think of that. She does that again in this one. I guess I'll concede that she sometimes allows characters to do ...
Camp Camp: Where Fantasy Island Meets Lord of the Flies
Roger Bennett
,
Jules Shell
Crown, 2008
Makes me wish I was in camp right now!
Having just sent my oldest child off to her first year of sleepaway camp, it was very tempting to stow away on the bus and relive my camp experiences of the 1970s. But with this book, I don't have to, and it's a whole lot cheaper than actually going to sleepaway camp. ...
Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's
John Elder Robison
Crown, 2007
BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!
This book, above all the others I have read on the subject of Asperger's, is a must have. I gained more insight into how my oldest son might think by reading this book than any book written by people with a lot of initials after their name. Believe me, if you have a ...

Crown, 2008
My Opinion
Dear Nancy Your advice is so highly regarded. What is best is that when you speak to everyone, You have such a way with comunicating. Which I belive is a gift. Thank you so much for helping so many people. Sincerly Michael L. ...
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
Barack Obama
Crown, 2006
Barack Obama Changed My Views!
Barack Obama is an outstanding communicator. As a Republican who has never voted for a Democrat, my views have been changed by this author. Most people know Obama is a superb public speaker, but I wonder how many know that he is an equally talented writer. In his ...
