House of Light- The True Story - Vol. 1 - House of Darkness
House of Light- The True Story - Vol. 1 - House of Darkness

Review:The story was disjointed, bouncing around in time. Evidently the Wardens did wrong, but it was only hinted at. The quotes at the beginning and end of each chapter did not add anything. Lengthy expositions on topics that were obliquely related in many cases did nothing to enhance the story. This story needs to be rewritten in chronological order putting the reader in the experience not wondering why the author is taking the reader through a labyrinth that obscures the gist of the story. I bo... Read more

The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman (Helix Books)

Review:I very much enjoyed this entertaining and delightful collection of lectures, talks and essays by the world-renown and sorely missed Professor Feynman, Nobel Prize winning physicist, idiosyncratic genius and one of the great men of the twentieth century.

I particularly enjoyed the subtle yet unmistakable way he scolded the people at NASA for putting their political butts before the safety of the space program they were managing in his famous "Minority Report to the Space Shuttle Challenger... Read more

Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer

Review:This is a great, contemporary coming-out-story of a singer-songwriter and country western celebrity. Chely Wright's biography is beautifully written, deeply moving, and illustrates the pain many gays and lesbians experience when they are not accepted by their professional or personal communities. She challenges many stereotypes that are are culturally held about lesbians and her story is educational to all who read it, gay or straight.

Or When I Get Back on My Feet You'll Be Sorry - Don't Leave Me This Way

Review:Julia Garrison' determination and strength are remarkable and inspiring. This story was one I couldn't put down, and one that changed my perspective on dealing with trauma and rehabilitation. Julia's own character and the love of her family and friends changed her long term outcome and her quality of life following her "incident". I admire all of them and salute them! Read more

The True Story of a Modern-Day Irish Mystic - Angels in My Hair

Review:I felt inspired by this work and feel Lorna Byrne is genuine in her explanations of incidents that are amazing. I like the way Lorna has interwoven her message through her life story. Lorna has a very clear message to teach us her readers and she does this with clarity and interest. I believe I have chosen to improve my thinking because of Lorna's ability and gift that she ensures we all have but haven't yet recognized. I want to thank Lorna for sharing this wonderful inspiring gift with the wor... Read more
