Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and In...
by Elizabeth Gilbert
$9.00
By all rites I should have adored this book. The premise is great, but I found the delivery lacked. In a way, I'm disappointed I bought this book because all I did was finance her travels. Maybe I can get my $ back and put it toward a fund to travel myself?
Besically, the book seemed a forced and the author seemed a little shallow and ...
The Road (Oprah's Book Club)
by Cormac McCarthy
$8.97
The novel is about the despair and hope againgst knowing better of a father that wants to save his child in a world that has lost life and above all, it's civilization. There's hardly any indication of what caused this situation (probably a nuclear war) but that's not important. The description of the scenery is breathtaking. The world is all gray ...

my best friend recommended this book when i was still engaged, in my 20s. I am so glad I read it... my relationship with my boyfriend transformed so much! we both read it and started recommending it to all our friends, even parents and relatives. they all still thank us today!
I am not going to sum up its content, as you may already know abou...
The Gift of Fear
by Gavin De Becker
$10.20
My houseboy, who lies in wait, ready to ambush me as soon as I enter my apartment? My government, which keeps a constant eye on me to make sure no harm is being done to me? My God, who has lightning bolts and whipped cream pies locked and loaded for whenever I might stray too far from the straight and narrow? No, I think it was most likely my uncl...
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance
by Barack Obama
$10.17
Though I am not an American citizen and therefore I do not get a vote in the Nov election, I still find Obama an inspiring and interesting person.
As for the book, it's interesting but not that engaging. It should be noted that the book was written over ten years ago and is not about his recent public political success and more about ...

Where the Wild Things Are
by Maurice Sendak
$12.21
Sometimes we just can't seem to settle down before bed. During those times, I reach for "Where the Wild Things Are" so that my two sons can roar their terrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth and roll their terrible eyes and show their terrible claws.
The book is short -- perfect for bedtime reading -- and very interactive. The st...
You Can Heal Your Life (Gift Edition)
by Louise Hay
$12.21
I have read at least 20 "personal growth" books in my life, but this book, which I read when I was a cancer patient 20 years ago, was the single most transformational book I've ever read. I was given a 20 percent chance of survival in 1987 and I can say with confidence, the wisdom I gained from this treasure of a book, contributed significantly to...
On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep (On Bec...
by Gary Ezzo, Robert Bucknam
$11.16
I was recommended this book by several people whose babies slept through the night as a result of the scheduling that is layed out in this book. So for that I gave this 3 stars because I know it works for some people. I did try this method for a while but it just didn't work for my son. Actually as a result of the more sleep that the book suggests...
Audition: A Memoir
by Barbara Walters
$19.77
I hesitated to tell people I was reading this book. People tend to have strong opinions about Barbara Walters, and not usually positive. Personally I can't stand The View. However, I realized that this woman has accomplished incredible things in her lifetime and has formed relationships with people we only see on the screen and read about in the...
