Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master - A Yogi's Autobiography
Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master - A Yogi's Autobiography

Review:This was a good book. I had read "Autobiography of a Yogi" which style was very humble and forthright. I did not get the same from this book because I thought the author was just slightly arrogant about his knowledge and status. Left me wondering if he was "true". However, I am a little like "doubting Thomas". Read more

Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake
Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake

Review:You have probably heard of the movie directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. I remember seeing the movie. I thought it was a fun flick, nothing more or less. The thing that intrigued me the most was that this movie was based on a true story. It seemed impossible. How could a young man con so many intelligent people for so many years? It seemed too unreal, like something made up by Hollywood.

My curiosity got the best of me and I bought the autobiographic... Read more

Men We Reaped: A Memoir
Men We Reaped: A Memoir

Review:Reading this moving, lyrical tribute, you might think the author is talking about the 1930s or even the 19th century. She's not. This is a true, unsentimental portrait of a poor African-American community in Mississippi in the 1980s and 90s. Sure, it evokes tears. But it's so imbued with poetic detail, with dignity and an unflinching sense of humanity, that it's nothing short of eye-opening. You feel the author's mixed emotions – the push-pull of nostalgia for her hometown and disgust at th... Read more

The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters - Beyond Band of Brothers
The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters - Beyond Band of Brothers

Review:An incredible story written by a genuine American hero. Dick Winters was probably on of the best infantry unit commanders of WW II. An acquaintance was chosen to re-activate the 506th in the early 70's so I feel a remote connection with Mr. Winters. An absolute "must read". Read more
