Review:Wonderful book, every musician should read it. I strongly recommend it! Kenny guides us through the problems of disfunctional praticing and playing and teaches us to come back to that first feeling we had when we played our instruments for the very first time. Read more

Review:The recording offered here by Blackstone Audiobooks is an astonishing bargain. Frederick Davidson's unabridged (13-hour 11-CD) rendition of Jackson-Knight's classic prose translation of the Aeneid is well done and at a price that beggers belief. The only reason I hesitated before giving it a well-deserved five stars is that I personally found Davidson's delivery to be rather camp to my English ear, which did mean I had to listen for a while to tune into the words. Then it was wonderful. Read more

Review:Lovers of history and interesting words will adore this book, and even the most casual reader will find it easy to read. I read The Meaning of Everything over the course of three days while on vacation, and although it isn't what I would call "beach reading" it was light and fun.

Winchester seems to have a good sense of when to move on to a new idea, which is part of what makes this so painless to read. There's no belaboring any points.

Also, there's an abundance of interesting sid... Read more

Review:Simon Winchester tells a story . . . a history of a happening . . . (perhaps) like no other. Who would think that the history of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary would be a 'page turner.' The research and thought that Winchester has put into this book is mind-boggling, but it is unique way of telling the story, weaving time, place and characters that makes this a remarkable story.

Review:This is a great book--both engaging and informative. The tragic story of the madman is compelling and the book sums up with the paradox of this tragic man's contribution to those of us who love words and their meanings. It is read by the author, and so the the recording has the flow of someone speaking naturally instead of a book being read. Great! Read more

Review:In a round about way Hawkins implies that if God (Truth) were to speak, this is what it would have to say about all the things he has calibrated. Hummmmm...I say Hawkins calibrations are measurements from his own life filter, from his own perspective and are a reflection of his own self-expression and the life he has lived.

Let's say you use the muscle testing technique to test the level of truth of the furniture in your house. Your sofa calibrates at 220 and your dining room chair at 300... Read more

Review:I highly recommend this book. It was written beautifully and brings up very important issues that many people would rather ignore. Annette's words are captivating and touch your heart and soul. We read this for our book club and were fortunate enough to meet her. She is an incredibly sincere and genuine woman. Pure Land is a must read! Read more

Review:This is a terrific read! Colossal failure told in an entertaining, funny, laugh until you cry kind of way. As much as we are hopeful for smooth transitions as we move through life sometimes it just doesn't happen. Ellen brings you along on her very bumpy journey and it is hysterical. If you have ever wondered what it is like to live in a small town in Vermont this will give you a hint - absolutely hysterical! Read more
