Customer Reviews and Description The marketing people at Simon & Schuster should be fired. That this book is not yet on the NY Times Best-Seller List is a national disgrace. This book is at once highly literate and laugh-out-loud funny. I woke my wife many times with fits of laughter. She did the same to me when she had the chance to read it - and we sleep in separate bedrooms!! The authors put to rest the notion that feminists and the Washington Post do not have a sense of humor. Buy It - Read It and then ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

by: HENRY BEARD List Price: $13.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.16 You Save: $2.79 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This wonderful little book was presented to me many years ago after I had completed a Latin seminar. It was a wonderful gift, and I have found much use for the various phrases, and an extraordinary amount of humour that can be derived from the blandest of statements when translated into Latin. For example, the innocuous phrase 'Darn! There goes my beeper!' becomes quite funny in Latin: Heu! Tintinnuntius meus sonat! One has visions of Caesar fumbling through his tunic for some beeping ...

by: John Orozco Amazon.com's Price: $11.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I found this book recommended on several sites I visited and couldn't help but wonder what it was about.

It did, and I was not disappointed. Delano's tone is down to earth. Fast and easy to read, the story is told from a familiar first person point of view. There is something funny on almost every page.

Customer Reviews and Description Anyone who is serious about learning to play chess well should begin with Seirawan's Winning Chess series. I had heard good things about it, so I bought this series for my wife. I figured that it would all be too simple for me, but decided to skim through the books quickly anyway. I learned quit a bit from both the Tactics and Strategies books. Seirawan's system is very similar to the system that co-author Silman teaches in his more advanced How To Reassess Your Chess (which would be the perfect book to read after finishing ...
