|
by: Laurie Wing List Price: $19.95 Amazon.com's Price: $13.97 You Save: $5.98 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This journal is so wonderful. I am 8 weeks into my second pregnancy, and I wish I had this two and a half years ago with my first child. It is broken down by each month, and in addition to the thought starters, there is plenty of room for notes. I've learned a couple of things since my first pregnancy (and this journal has places to note the things I didn't note the first time around), such as exactly when I started wearing maternity clothes. Also, in the extra space I am writing about current events, ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Leanne Ely List Price: $19.95 Amazon.com's Price: $13.97 You Save: $5.98 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have a tendency to collect cookbooks. I love to read 'em, look at 'em, touch 'em ... but I don't always USE them. But I've discovered that this new book, Healthy Foods, has actually become a well-used addition to my kitchen and not just another pretty face cluttering up my bookshelves.

| 314. Eat the Rich | |
|
by: P. J. O'Rourke List Price: $13.00 Amazon.com's Price: $10.40 You Save: $2.60 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is an irreverent look at capitalism in various forms, as much a (not uninteresting) travelogue as an economic critique as he describes his impressions of Wall Street, Albania, Sweden, Cuba, Russia, Tanzania, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. For most of the book O'Rourke sounds flippant and seems to be writing more to hear himself talk than to educate the rest of us. He brings it together in the last chapter, however, which has the same title as the book. He admits that capitalism (free market economies) can work. What ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 315. The Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest | |
|
by: Wendy Northcutt List Price: $18.95 Amazon.com's Price: $7.58 You Save: $11.37 (60%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This new volume of commemerating humor through human stupidity shows one of the problems of this kind of business. The human is only so stupid, and sometimes, there will be a dry spell where not many spectacular dumb actions will happen. While this one has a few gems in it (delayed ignition of gunpower = robber's head blown off), it lacks the advantage of originality and shock value of the first book. Maybe they should consider expanding the darwin awards to other moronic things (social customs, quotes, stupid government and ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 316. American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon | |
|
by: Stephen Prothero List Price: $25.00 Amazon.com's Price: $17.00 You Save: $8.00 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Prothero (religion, Boston Univ.; The White Buddhist, etc.) eschews American theology in favor of its art, music, literature, and film to answer the intriguing question, "How did the Son of God become a national icon beloved by Jerry Falwell and the Dalai Lama alike?" The author has chosen to capitalize on Jesus the man and universal Christ while largely ignoring the nature and function of a dogmatic Christ as messiah. Objective and dispassionate throughout, the author confidently assures the reader that Jesus really matters-that ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description "Mother Shock" is exactly what I needed when my first son was born -- an honest look at just how darn hard becoming a mother can be. And I don't mean the delivery.

| 319. Losing My Virginity : How I've Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way | |
|
by: RICHARD BRANSON List Price: $16.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The book was, to my delight, a very interesting read. "Losing My Virginty" reads like a novel and I would say that it was as interesting as both "Memoirs or a Geisha" and the "Harry Potter" series. Yet the book was full of lessons in a variety of business fields; entrepreneurship and risk-taking being at the forefront of those fields. In its value as a business book, I would compare it to "Lessons from the Top" and "The Millionnaire Next Door", both of which were a much less gripping read. However, "Losing my Virginity" is different from those ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 320. Clay's Way : A Novel | |
|
by: Blair Mastbaum List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is absolutely the best book I've ever read about being gay. Except it's not really about about being gay and I think people that aren't gay will love it too. It's so real and not political or chessy at all. There is none of that "coming out crap" and nothing about AIDS. This book is about a really interesting and complicated character that just happens to be gay. I loved Clay's Way. It was really involving and personal. Some of it was really funny. I haven't laughed out loud while reading a book in a long time. It really made me think about love and the ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
