Review:Anne Lamott has an easy manner that makes you feel like you're having a heated conversation with your best buddy sitting at the kitchen counter drinking coffee; her writing is honest, caring, and fun, even talking about grace and faith.

You will find this book to be a great read because it will make you look within yourself and think things through. I love writing that surprises me with simplicity and originality. "Grace (Eventually)" shows a softer side of Anne, a maturing and acceptan... Read more

Review:A serious and extraordinarily thorough book on Bach. Probably of particular interest to performers and anyone with a special interest in the choral music.

I found his comments and background to the St John Passion of great interest. Read more

Review:Having always been a history buff found this book easier to follow than many of the books written about Lincoln. He was a brilliant man who proved to be aa great leader using common sense in solving problems. Read more

Review:There was a book published by Ominbus Press in 1977 called Clint Eastwood: All American Anti-HeroClint Eastwood, All-American Anti-Hero: A Critical Appraisal of the World's Top Box Office Star and His Films. This fan book traces Eastwood's career up to the Gauntlet in 1977. Although Marc Eliot's book American Rebel takes Eastwood up to present date, we as fans and readers, don't really glean any more insight into Cli... Read more

Review:This is a really engaging book on David Foster Wallace. Sure, people might say that Wallace's life is what makes this book good, but it's not. There would be too much of it to make sense of it all without a good deal of sifting, editing and moulding, which D. T. Max has done here.

It's a chronological book that undoubtedly puts Wallace up front, even though I get the feeling that's what Wallace would least of all have wanted, during his lifetime.

Having read "Infinite Jest" and "Th... Read more

Review:This was painful to read. Did Berg have to detail every single moment of Perkins existence? Akin to reading boring daily Facebook posts detailing someone's every move. I hope the movie is able to extract the good parts and edit it to something interesting. Read more

Review:Don't underestimate anyone! Charles was abused by his middle/upper middle class parents and he says that he was at fault for his problems but in reality his parents were at fault. He is too ready to blame himself. He is full of wisdom and humor and seems to have learned from the mistakes he made in life. This is a good guy. An interesting book. I wish him nothing but happiness. Read more

Review:The author filled this book with innuendo, insinuation, and gossip. Apparently, he didn't fact-check things that could have been verified, like whether Donald Burk was the father of Miss Franklin's son. There is no mention of any attempt to locate Mr. Burk, or to interview him. This book disrespects its subject, and is a testament to David Ritz's spite and malice. Read more

Review:Hard times is what shapes the character of a person. If Dick Gregory hadn't experienced these times, he would not be able to write so movingly. I love this bio. He has lived a lifetime through this book. It's his legacy. Please read this book. It's a lesson on life's challenges and obstacles and how one overcomes. learn from the master of life experiences.

Review:Darrell Hammond's book gives a good insight into mental illness. It's heart wrenching to read the abuse he suffered as a child. The Saturday Night Live stories are fun because we are fans of the show. It's a gritty fast paced book, you will thoroughly love this man after reading it. Read more
