by: Sting List Price: $26.00 Amazon.com's Price: $17.68 You Save: $8.32 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I do not follow Sting's career as a fan although I think he is a fascinating person. His ideas on love and romance are admirable. I read this book purely out of curiosity. I saw it mentioned on a television show. Let me start by saying that Sting can actually write. This is not a mindless book of senseless drivel. This is not a typical autobiography. Sting has quite a memory. I can barely remember what happened yesterday. He incorporates in great detail the many specific good and bad adventures of ...

by: Darby Conley List Price: $10.95 Amazon.com's Price: $8.76 You Save: $2.19 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have liked 'Get Fuzzy' since it's inception, and this is the best of the books to date. Darby Conley certainly knows the difference between cats and dogs and why each are lovable in their own way (yes, even uni-fanged Siamese cats)! Of particular note is the Judge Judy series wherein Bucky sues Fungo the Ferret for damages after Bucky loses his fang while trying to snare Fungo. Be sure to check out the Cat and Dog conferences, too! If you like 'Get Fuzzy' or just love animals, you will ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Christopher Dewdney List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As a night owl and poetry-lover, I was intrigued by the title alone. Dewdney's writing is gorgeous: at turns it's funny, poignant, and illuminating. It's easy to tell the writer is a poet. At the same time, it's full of fascinating trivia and pieces of knowledge, covering history, physics, literature, astronomy, psychology, and philosophy.

Egri is clear, uses wonderful examples, and gets to the heart of the matter in a way that helps lesser concerns solve themselves as you find the threads of what your script is about and orchestrate your characters to best story advantage. Recommended to script writers, and to folks who just want a better understanding of whats going on up there on that stage. Read Reviews and Description

by: Lawrence LaRose List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I never thought I could get so many laughs while recalling the torture that we went through when we redid our house. I wish we'd read this book before we started -- it might have kept us cracking up in a good way instead of in the losing-our-sanity way. I found this book in a DailyCandy.com email recommending Father's Day gifts, and I think that's probably a great call for dads who read and have a sense of humor. I'm glad to see Amazon likes it so much that it's a Breakout Book of Summer 2004! This is my new gift of choice to fellow ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I had no idea what this book was about when I bought it, but a friend recommended it and said it was pretty funny. But as soon as I started to read it, I started to think that Laurie Notaro and I were living the same life. I love her caustic sense of humor and her take on the everyday things in life that she somehow turns into hilarious little sitcoms in her short essays. Her exploits with her friends, her mom and even her Nana prove to be a nice break from the Bridget Jones era we're in, and she hands out a dose of reality--even as in one ...

by: Eric Garcia List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $17.46 You Save: $7.49 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The dictionary entry defines a finishing school as a girls' school that "stresses training in cultural subjects and social activities." Well, it isn't just for girls anymore. Eric Garcia gives us the wickedly funny evil twin of the chick-lit genre, in "Cassandra French's Finishing School For Girls." Cassandra French is your average modern L.A. woman -- she has two weird pals, a crazy mother under house arrest, a not-so-fulfilling job, and three gorgeous young men chained in the basement.

by: Ngaire Genge, N. E. Genge List Price: $14.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $2.80 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I find this to be a wonderfully well written book. Some find witchcraft to be evil and that if you have anything to do with it, you will go not get into heaven. What most don't realize is that this is not evil. Charmed is not evil. All this book tells you is interesting facts about the episodes, Wiccan roots and about the actors themselves. Wicca is very interesting and it is not a religion. This book does not criticize other religions. Wicca is based on the old religion of Britian. It also has a mention of herbs and spices that are similar to what ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
