Matt Goulding
Rodale Books
, 2007
Great fun, good information, easy to read -- I loved it
After seeing this good-looking author on the Today Show (where has he gone to lately?) several times and being impressed with his presentation and style, I picked up his book, Eat This Not That. It's really great -- who would know that chicken sandwiches can be so BAD ...
Wreck This Journal
Keri Smith
Perigee Trade
, 2007
Fun Fun Fun
I bought this journal as a "just because" for my son who is 11 and then as a birthday present for my niece who is 9. They both thought it was a fun book. It is filled with cooky things to do and really does help bring out their imagination. I think any pre-teen kid ...

Eat this not that for kids
This book is great. My children, aged 13 and 11 are interested and are more aware of healthier eating choices.
I Know This Much Is True: A Novel (P.S.)
Wally Lamb
Harper Perennial
, 2008
It's hard to get into..
But it's worth it. It took me over 2 years to read this book. I struggled with not just with the length of the book - but also with the narration. I admit I didn't admire Dominick - I even disliked his character, and couldn't even bring myself to read more than a ...
This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
Holt Paperbacks
, 2007
A VERY GOOD READ
I bought this for my dad for his birthday a few months ago because I consider him to be a remarkable person as well. He thoroughly loved it and is having my mom now read it. If my dad says it's good than it is so.

Steve Jenkins

Great book for interaction!
This book is really hands on, and gets lots of talking and questions going with my 3 and 5 yr olds. It's a clever book and we've had a lot of fun with it.
Ask a Ninja Presents The Ninja Handbook: This Book Looks Forward to Killing You Soon

Kent Nichols
Three Rivers Press
, 2008
Just hilarious
This is the funniest book I've read in years. I picked it in a bookshop randomly and as I opened it I started laughing. Then I was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of my eyes. I just couldn't stop. I had to hide in a corner so that I could calm myself and ...
This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War
Drew Gilpin Faust
Knopf
, 2008
Outstanding
This was a fascinating, yet painful book to read. Faust does a masterful job of personalizing the conflict through stories, quotations and pictures and capturing the anguish of the country during the war years. There is much to learn in this book for those of us that ...
The Great Bust Ahead: The Greatest Depression in American and UK History is Just Several Short Years Away. ...
Daniel A. Arnold
Vorago-US
, 2002
What this book predicted in 2002 is happening now.
This book may save your life's savings. Please read it. Kudos to the courageous author for writing this remarkable book, and for giving common people timely and fair warning for what lies ahead. We need more people like Mr. Arnold, who makes this world a better ...
This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession
Daniel J. Levitin
Plume/Penguin
, 2007
Excellent informative read!
I really loved this book because unlike many books related to this subject it has not been too watered down. It is accessible but still contains loads of information. Somehow Levitin has managed to fit an 800 hundred page draft into a 200 page book! I will continue ...

PublicAffairs

Tell Me How This Ends: A First Draft of History
Linda Robinson's "Tell Me How This Ends: General Petraeus and the Search for a Way Out of Iraq" is a superb addition to the next wave of Iraq War literature: the Surge Assessments. Hitting the ground before new books by Gordon, Ricks, Woodward, et al., Robinson of ...
The Monster at the End of this Book (Big Little Golden Book)
Jon Stone
Golden Books
, 2004
Spoilers!
So it turns out that the "monster" is actually the protagonist which, while having shades of postmodern antihero angst that wil reverberate strongly with fans of, say, Kafka or Burroughs, really threw me for a loop as a kid. My two year old, on the other hand, has ...
This Charming Man: A Novel
Marian Keyes
William Morrow
, 2008
A Wonderful Book
I am a huge fan of Marian Keyes and own all her books. After reading mixed reviews, I wondered if I would enjoy this one as much as her others. I purchased the hardcover anyway, on a bet that Marian Keyes never ever disappoints. Sure enough, I adored it and could'nt ...
This Is the Part Where You Pretend to Add Value: A Dilbert Book (Dilbert Books (Paperback Andrews McMeel))
Scott Adams
Andrews McMeel Publishing
, 2008
great dilbert book
This book has the latest Dilbert comics. They keep up with the latest workplace stupidity and accurately reflect pointy hair in most worklaces. If you work for long enough, Human Resources will seem like talking cats. They are just not human.
If You're Reading This, It's Too Late
Pseudonymous Bosch
Little, Brown Young Readers
, 2008
I'm a sucker for the snarky creature
that hurtles across the chapters in this book. I don't want to give too much away, but he's called a homunculus. I loved the first book in this series, and I am glad the second one is just as good, just as witty, just as intelligent. Pseudonymous Bosch is even better ...
