The Poet
Michael Connelly
Little Brown & Co (T), 1996
Thrilling
I started with Black Ice, I've been hooked on Connelly books ever since. I will say I was hesitant on this book, I don't normally like first person styles, in fact I hate them. But after realizing that good old Harry was somehow involved in a sequel book to The ...
The Ascent of Man
Jacob Bronowski
Little Brown & Co (T), 1974
Inspired many copiers but is still the best...
Previous reviews don't do Bronowski justice. He began as a mathematician; but after being sent to Hiroshima, as part of a team studying the aftereffects of the nuclear blast, he switched to biology. He was warm and articulate. A poet himself, he was one of the few ...

The Winds of War
Herman Wouk
Little Brown & Co (T), 1972
Historical fiction at its finest
This book was so good that it caused me to slack off on my studies. I don't normally read too much fiction, but a friend who is a fellow WWII buff recommended it, and I'm glad I took him up on it. The story follows US Naval Captain Victor "Pug" Henry and his family in ...
The Art of Speedreading People: Harness the Power of Personality Type and Create What You Want in Business ...
Paul D. Tieger
,
Barbara Barron-Tieger
Little Brown & Co (T), 1998
It works.
These authors really know their stuff. This book provides amazingly accurate insights to the human mind~ why people act the way they do. Of course, it's not 100% accurate because no two people are exactly alike. So while they generalize a lot, it's nearly always ...
