Grace: A Novel
Richard Paul Evans
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Grace changed me forever
There are many reasons I love books from Richard Paul Evans. He's on my very short list of authors for whom I wait, albeit impatiently, every year for a new book. I always wonder if this is going to be the book that falls short of my expectations. I mean, really, how ...
Night of Thunder: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel (Bob Lee Swagger Novels)
Stephen Hunter
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Hunter a terrific read, as always
Just finished Night of Thunder, practically in one sitting: as with the previous eleven Hunter thrillers, I enjoyed myself immensely. I still think DIRTY WHITE BOYS is Hunter's best; I've re-read it half a dozen times. One small quibble at the end when our hero talks ...
The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood
Helene Cooper
Simon & Schuster, 2008
A powerful memoir
Helene Cooper's memoir of growing up in Liberia is one of those books that you just can't put down. I was pretty groggy there for a few days after reading late into the night! Because I grew up in the U.S. at the same time as the author, I was captivated by the ...
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
Doris Kearns Goodwin
Simon & Schuster, 2006
A brilliant biography with a new point of view
Considering the plethora of materials about Abraham Lincoln available, it is with pleasure that I report that this book approaches Abe in a brilliant new way. Delving comparatively into the backgrounds of Abe's rivals for the nomination for President, the author ...
Domino: The Book of Decorating: A room-by-room guide to creating a home that makes you happy

Simon & Schuster, 2008
Practical, Doable and FUN
As an interior designer, I am always looking at new decorating books for ideas and tips. I read Domino: The Book of Decorating: A Room-by-Room Guide to Creating a Home that Makes Your Happy, immediately. My approach is accessibility, sustainability and livability--a ...
Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries
Naomi Wolf
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Finally, a book that speaks to what I can do as a citizen
The economic structure of the United States on the brink of collapse, the Iraqi war continues, the Patriot Act is still in force, our politicians are talking about earmarks, bridges and roads to nowhere, the rhetoric is flying without concrete solutions being proposed. ...
The Quilter's Kitchen: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel with Recipes (Elm Creek Quilts Novel)
Jennifer Chiaverini
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Enjoyed it, with low expectations
I liked it, but I read these reviews in advance so I knew what to expect. Anna has become one of my favorite characters, so it was fun to get a little more insight into her background and passions (plus some tantalizing speculation about Jeremy???) It was a nice ...
The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008
Bob Woodward
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Recommended Reading
Our decision to go to war with Iraq needs to be understood by all of us. This book sheds much light on how we got into and managed the effort.
Smoke Screen: A Novel
Sandra Brown
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Another Winner!
I have always looked forward to any new release by Sandra Brown. She writes the kind of stories I love to read. Smoke Screen just kept getting better and harder to put down. Raley was one of the best heroes I have read in a long time. He kept me interested ...
Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World
James J. Cramer
Simon & Schuster, 2005
Believe it or not, Cramer can make you a better investor.
Having read several investment books, this book is a much needed shot in the arm in that it opens the doors to the type of independent thinking that the mutual fund industry doesn't want individual investors to engage in. Cramer's book encourages readers to move beyond ...
Assassination Vacation
Sarah Vowell
Simon & Schuster, 2006
This book rocks!
I usually don't write reviews, but when i saw that this book didn't have 5 of 5 stars i was shocked! I loved it. Not only do I own the book, I own the author narrated audio version!
Catch-22
Joseph Heller
Simon & Schuster, 1996
Best Book I Ever Read
Catch-22 is a jarring, thrilling, hysterical exposition of the oppression and dominance which pervades lives and lifestyles in the modern era. Full of classic dialogue, superb characters, wonderfully narrated, Catch-22 may be the best book ever written. A ...
The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington
Jennet Conant
Simon & Schuster, 2008
No Dagger, But Lots of Cloak
Fans of _James and the Giant Peach_ and _Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_ may be surprised to learn that their author was a British spy. Roald Dahl's espionage career was brief, running from 1942 to 1945. Also, he spied on an ally (the USA) rather than an enemy. ...
The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible
A. J. Jacobs
Simon & Schuster, 2008
As a self proclaimed agnostic...
As a self proclaimed agnostic, I have no clue what led me to pick up this book in an airport. But I'm hooked, and I've probably learned more about the bible then some that are "religious". In a fun, nonthreatening, no fire and brimstone, low key way. I give kudos to ...
