Back Bay Books, 2002
Must read book
Macolm Gladwell's approach in this book is that of an observer. His deductions are thoroughly logical and offer a refreshing alternative to traditional thought. This book was a joy to read. I am also half way through his second book entitled Blink. As an author he ...

Jeff Pearlman
Harper, 2008
Boys Will Be Boys, great title for an exciting read
I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, have been since 1989--the first year of the Troy Aikman era. I had followed the media hype between Aikman vs. Rodney Peet, his school (UCLA) vs. Peete's school (USC) the previous college season. This turned me into a huge fan of his in ...

Wizards RPG Team
Wizards of the Coast, 2008
Another coup de grace
The content is impeccable, and arguably more interesting than some of the things in the core. The Spellplague in particular seems to have set the creative juices ablaze. I am pleased.

The best so far
This is by far the best DM screen I have every seen. It breaks down all those little things that can happen during gaming and provides you with a basic description of what it does and where you can find it in the main rule books. The artwork isn't too bad either. If ...

The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers (And Their Employees)
Patrick M. Lencioni
Jossey-Bass, 2007
Being a manager takes more than signing letters & receiving fat checks...
I was wondering whether most managers (especially those who have "a job for life") would follow your advice. Indeed, being in that position takes more than signing letters and receiving fat checks every month. I have been reading your books over and over again. Thank ...

I won this book in a lottery and it was on my bookshelf for several years. I thought it would be one of those repetitive bestsellers about management and leadership, so common in this genre. Belonging to this genre, this book could not escape its being repetitive, but ...
