The Graveyard Book
Neil Gaiman
HarperCollins, 2008
It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures.
Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly ...

The Alchemist
Paulo Coelho
HarperCollins, 2006
Wise
A delightful story, and full of wisdom. Influenced me in pursuing what I dream about, and rediscovering my "personal legend" as he calls it.

Goodnight Moon, 60th Anniversary Edition
Margaret Wise Brown
HarperCollins, 2005
Generations
I bought this book for my daughter - in paperback, hardback, coloring book, etc.! This was her all-time favorite book growing up and now I'm buying it for her newborn son! That makes me really think this is a book "for generations".

Eclipse (Warriors: Power of Three, Book 4)
Erin Hunter
HarperCollins, 2008
The Warriors Return!
The difference between the New Prophecy and the Power of Three series seems to be astoundingly different. All Warriors fans can say goobye to the cliches and predictable characters of the second series; the Erin Hunters have brought a spectacular new miniseries to ...

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions
Dan Ariely
HarperCollins, 2008
Reality is absolutely relative.
At first glance, the title of Dan Ariely's book seems to be an oxymoron. (It certainly catches one's attention.) Can irrational thought and/or behavior be predicted? Perhaps if it is repetitive? (The judgment and behavior of at least some people can be repetitive and ...

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It
Michael E. Gerber
HarperCollins, 1995
The foundation of forward thinking. It just makes sense!
I'm only 1/2 way through this book, but have been taking notes along the way. E Myth delivers methodical, but practical sensibility of the big picture for business owners like me. Stop running into the same circles of bad habits and start working ON your business and ...

Nation
Terry Pratchett
HarperCollins, 2008
Sweet. Pefect. Beautiful.
To be honest, I picked up this book with more than a little hesitation.
I've been a fan of Terry Pratchett's for years. He's a great writer. One of the best. This cannot be argued.
Still, I knew this book wasn't going to be set in Discworld, so I was nervous. ...

The Giving Tree
HarperCollins, 1992
A Changing Lesson for EVERY Age
Every child and adult should have this book.
There are many controversies about The Giving Tree, many will write that it is a self-less act of love, an issue with co-dependency, or may even send a bad example of relationships with creating selfish children/adults.

Fleeced
Dick Morris pointed out a lot of problems that needed to changed in this country. My take is John McCain is the one that can get a lot of these changes done.

Just sometimes, Fancy isn't really Fun!
Fancy Nancy is about to get a new dog! Of course, her dog must be the fanciest -- a really Posh Puppy. When Nancy dog-sits a really Posh Pup, she realizes that he's not the right dog for her. (I guess those visits to the salon can get pretty old!)
There's a great ...
