| 1031. Boogers Are My Beat : More Lies, but Some Actual Journalism | |
|
by: DAVE BARRY List Price: $23.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.77 You Save: $7.18 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've been a Dave Barry fan since he was writing columns about his (now twenty-something) two-year old son doing embarassing things in public places. Now Barry is on a new wife and has a brand new two-year old to write columns about. And he still thinks the word (and presumably the concept of) "booger" is funny. I picked up this book with mixed feelings. He seems to rely more and more on silly humor (boogers, exploding toilets, hilarious names for rock bands) rather than the classic columns ...

| 1032. The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: The Icewind Dale Trilogy, Book 3) | |
|
by: R. A. Salvatore Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I thought that "The Halfling's Gem" was a good book, but like the rest of the trilogy it seemed very random and unrelated to the previous two books except for the ending of the second book. Out of nowhere (it seems) the group has to run after the assasin half the continent away to Calimport - while running into evil creatures and people they have to fight. This book has great action and well thought out fights which is one reason Salvatore has grown in the ranks of fantasy writing. Everyone loves his battles. Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1034. Composing Music: A New Approach | |
|
by: William Russo, Jeffrey Ainis, David Stevenson Amazon.com's Price: $22.50 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I see that most people have high ratings for this book, but I cannot give it more than 2 stars for several reasons. First of all, the book does give a ton of exercises, but I didn't find these very useful--most of them were very simple exercises that had restrictions on how you could write the piece. This book does give much information about music theory, and the author does allow you to use this theory to write small (usually 10-15 bar) monophonic melodies, but by the end of the book this was all that I had learned to do. Yes, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1035. How to Get Your Cat to Do What You Want | |
|
by: Warren Eckstein List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I found the book fairly entertaining to read, and was preparing for adopting a cat myself. However, once reality set in (i.e., I had a cat living in my house with me), I determined that many of the assumptions he makes about cats and their ability to adapt and respond to human behavior are, at best, only applicable to SOME cats, and, at worst, not really true at all. Life with cats can be great, but encouraging people to expect them to behave in a more responsive way (like a dog, I guess) is setting people- like me - up for a big ...

by: DAVID M. BADER List Price: $11.95 Amazon.com's Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As a Jewish person who has explored Buddhism (one of many, I know), I just want to comment that this book captures all that is appealing and funny about Judaism and Zen. It's hilarious and very well-done. (The drawing of the little bird wearing a yarmalka is adorable.) You will learn a little and laugh a lot. Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description You know you've made your mark when: a) your name becomes part of the lexicon; and b) they start publishing huge coffee-table tomes about your lives and work. "Pythonesque," according to the ninth edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary, is defined as "after the style of, or resembling the humour of, Monty Python's Flying Circus, a popular British television comedy series of the 1970s noted esp. for its absurdist or surrealist humour."
