| I was so excited when I heard David Foster was releasing his autobiography. Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping the Charts, and Winning Grammys I always scan liner notes of my favorite artists' albums to see if David produced, and am a huge fan of the "David Foster Sound." "The Power of the Dream," "Remember Me This Way," and "Shaking You" are my favorite David Foster compositions. David really opens up about so much in this book, and shares a lot of insights into his personal and professional ... Read More: |

| I have never read any novel that can at all, and in any way compare with the raw, soulwrenching, sheer power, grace, and glory of this so called "novel" Shantaram. Brothers Karamazov comes closest, but I think what Gregory Roberts has given us is a book that will in time, i truly believe, become the greatest piece of literature ever put to press. It is so much more than just a book! As I tell my surprised, skeptical friends: "It is my Bible". |

| This was an amazing book. Anyone wanting to study WW2 and or just the Holocaust, this is the book to read. I rate it right up there with the Diary of Anne Frank. It is an amazing story that pulls you so you can't put it down! |

|
| For those who are unfamiliar with philosophy, this is a very accesible book with some nice insights.
It reads like a train (although you might want to pause once in a while to think about some paragraphs). It is a bit outdated, and I have some personal remarks concerning a few topics. |

| I just finished Sarah Vowell's Assasination Vacation and found it to be more interesting and cohesive than Partly Cloudy Patriot. Vowell wit and inquisitiveness are endearing and the book is a page turner more to find out her next reaction to something rather than to find out what she is actually doing.
That said, her leftist, wackily liberal politics get in the way EVERY time she inserts them. And also, despite standing up and shouting her atheism, I don't buy it. I see some inner conflict being worked out on the written ... Read More: |

| 119.American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic by: Joseph J. Ellis October 30, 2007 |

| Average Rating: >>More Details |
 |
|
| This is a great addition to the history books covering the founding of our nation. Ellis covers the facts and corrects the fictions have become lore, and does so in a manner that is interesting and revealing. The Founding Fathers were neither geniuses who walked on water with the foresight of gods; nor were they evil white men hell-bent on establishing a utopia for themselves only. Yes, they were remarkable men with great talent, but they were men nonetheless, with weaknesses and inconsistencies. Ellis bears this out as he describes the ... Read More: |

| As a mother of a child who is no longer considered autistic, I have to say I am impressed with the passion Jenny McCarthy shows on this issue. I remember when my son was only a baby before autism entered our lives, I was at the library looking at baby books and I came across one of her books on motherhood. I remember thinking "Yeah right, what can Jenny McCarthy teach me about motherhood". Im not the "up-tight" type. Im just a 40+ mother of a small child who never thought much of the "new generation" of MTV/reality tv. Playboy either for that matter. ... Read More: |
