by: Bill Clinton List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $21.00 You Save: $14.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I bought "My Life" because, despite all his flaws, I DO find Bill Clinton to be a fascinating, polarizing character. I also hoped that Clinton would provide some new, original, insightful perspective on his life, his two-term Presidency, and possibly even recent events like 9/11 and the Iraq war. So, how did he do? As far as his Presidency is concerned, what Clinton gives us in "My Life" is, essentially, little more than a "data dump" - on Monday at 10 AM, he met with his task force on ...

by: Lance Armstrong, Sally Jenkins List Price: $14.00 Amazon.com's Price: $9.80 You Save: $4.20 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I'm a woman. I'm not a cyclist. I've never had cancer. I read mostly fiction. But this book absolutely blew me away. So much more than an athlete bio, this is a wonderfully told, brilliantly written story of a real American hero. The play-by-play cycling coverage is fascinating even to a non-cyclist and the detailed discussion of Lance's illness, treatment, and recovery is beyond inspiring. The look inside Lance's childhood, his love life, his amazing journey into fatherhood, and his role as a cancer activist ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Ron Chernow List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $21.00 You Save: $14.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is easily one of the finest biographies published over the past decade and focuses on a subject that has long been neglected. Chernow does a remarkable job of showing how Hamilton was the true visionary among the founding fathers. While Jefferson and Madison envisioned a nation of independent farmers, Hamilton had the foresight to recognize that the United States was to become the most economically and militarily powerful nation in the world through a highly sophisticated system of banking. While Jefferson's predictions ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Barack Obama List Price: $13.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.16 You Save: $2.79 (20%) Prices subject to change.

Obama details his personal reflections on his family, his childhood, race in America, and what it means to be biracial in a multi-ethnic society. Obama is painfully honest in discussing his life, which is not only rare for a politician but requires a tremendous amount of self-understanding and respect for the reading public. This book is a must read for those who are interested in Obama as a politician and for those who have an interest ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Lance Armstrong List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is a beautiful follow-up to Lance's first book (It's Not About the Bike). In this book, Lance shares what it is like for him as person who is also a "superstar bicyclist", "cancer survivor", and "cancer philanthropist". Though a young man in terms of age, Lance speaks with deep wisdom about what it means to live, how to feel alive, and dealing with life's non-life-threatening complexities. And then there are remarkable and thrilling stories about his Tour de France experiences. I loved reading this book! It is spectacular, especially ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: David T. Hardy, Jason Clarke List Price: $22.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.06 You Save: $6.89 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man is a must read if you are a critical thinker and really want the truth instead of being spoon-fed false information by someone who has a stated agenda to bring down Bush. This book was written before Moore's latest attempt at brainwashing Americans, the "stupidest people on earth" (Moore's sentiments, not mine) with his F911 propaganda. However, the authors use documented evidence to blow away all of Moore's lies and half truths in F911, because he has been using the same old, tired, arguements ...

| 10. Ric Flair: To Be the Man | |
|
by: Ric Flair, Keith Elliot Greenberg List Price: $26.00 Amazon.com's Price: $15.60 You Save: $10.40 (40%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description When I heard Ric Flair would be writing a book, I was giddy with anticipation. Now that I have read the book, I am very happy to say that Flair does not pull any punches in discussing his personal feelings about such wrestlers as Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Shane Douglas, Scott Steiner, Eric Bishoff, and the entire WWE roster. His stories about the end of WCW gave this fan a better insight of why the poorly run company collapsed when it did. This book is a must read for any fan of wrestling and is especially appealing to Ric Flair fans. Read Reviews and Description
