Thank you Kitty Kelley!!! Too much of America gets it's news from the "info-tainment" shows, and if it takes a book like this to bring out the truth of this awful, wicked family, so be it!! Remember he wasn't elected the first time, he was SELECTED by the Supreme Court. Don't let it happen again. Your country needs you and the WORLD needs you. A recent survey found that 30 of 35 countries polled wanted Kerry to win. Defend America, Defeat bush!!

I loved this book, plain and simple. This book picks up where the last one left off. They arrive at Bandomeer and neither is pleased with what he finds there. Qui-Gon finds a disturbing message from his former dark side padawan, and Obi-Wan finds his new job... a farmer. Once again I like the way they show both of their point of views. I also liked the action sequence at the end and how they solve the problem. And let me say, I am touched by Obi-Wan's courage. Everyone, has to read this book. Believe me, you won't regret it.

Libraries need to interview and archive footage from their interesting seniors, scouts need to capture their jamborees, and coaches need to focus on what is going right (and wrong) with their team. The list goes on forever, and all those volunteers out there doing the heavy lifting need to read this book, mark the pages and follow the steps! Jan Orzer's book is really saving me from a lot of errors, steering me in the right direction and giving me the confidence to try. If I follow the directions that he illustrates so well (and humorously) I expect to produce video that teaches, entertains and maybe even inspires the viewer. I have never taken a formal course and am finding my way as an amateur, but so far, with Jan's help, I am getting there with better results than I deserve to have, so this book is very good value, and I highly recommend it.

A lovely children's story with grownup lessons beneath...
Book title: Toot & Puddle (Toot and Puddle)
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
My children and I love the Toot & Puddle books. They're two little pigs who are as different as night and day, yet at their centers, they are both alike. These two charming piggies and their adventures can be looked at from many levels. At the surface, this is a charming story of one pig who loves to travel, and one who loves staying home. Look deeper and you see metaphor upon metaphor, themes of universal truths regarding looking beyond the external and seeing the fact that we are all one in spirit. My children love the use of postcards to tell the stories of the travels of Toot, all the more so because we collect postcards ourselves. For them, the best part is when Toot comes home, and lies snug in his bed next to Puddle. After all, there's really no place like home.

Anyone who gave it little stars did not get it. Don't listen to them who didn't appreciate the story in the full manner that it was meant to be appreciated. If it's not your cup of tea, fine, but it is a unique and amazing book- read it for the experience, take in the words, trust the author that you will be presented with a finely woven story crafted with care. I love historical fiction, fairy tale, and fantasy, and this is a combination of all of those things as well as mystery. This book didn't feel quite like just a book to me, it felt like art, maybe a painting. No doubt much care was put into it and it has the fluidity of art, rather than the rigidity of essays and certain books, while maintaing a unique and structured craftmanship of it own. This is the opposite of fiction and realism, and a wonderful treat, but as with all things you should enter without expectations. Be patient and absorbing, take it as you go.

One of the ultimate best...
Book title: Shadow & Claw : The First Half of 'The Book of the New Sun' (New Sun)
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
This book is one of the best illustrations of how SciFi can be not just good literature, but sheer poetry! It is truly breathtaking, but only if you have the guts to read it more than once. Some people rightly state that the plot jumps around and the sequence of events is difficult to trace, but, believe me, the rewards are well worth the toil. IMHO, this is the whole point, because when you finally do comprehend the grandeur of the world of these novels, you will discover vistas of possibility and imagination such as you have never experienced before. And this victory will be so much the sweeter for being so hard won and non-trivial! As I said in the beginning, this book is SciFi at its most poetic and the images it conjures are indelible. Just consider "Terminus Est" ("This is the line of division") as the name of Severian's sword. This metaphor alone makes this book worth reading to me.

The best text available for airline economics -- Period.
Book title: Flying Off Course: The Economics of International Airlines
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Superb! This text clearly explains the complex economic issues surrounding airlines today, including social and political perspectives. By far the best available resource for potential (or current) airline managers to help understand the driving forces in today's global airline industry. Certainly acceptable for any level of higher academic study, the text looks at economic paradigms driving the industry and provides a fresh perspective of the perils facing airilnes in the 21st century.

I have been thinking about purchasing this book for a couple of weeks. I finally broke down and bought it and was glad I did. It is a entertaining book, with a lot of great information. In this book Flocker mocks the self-help gurus when, one can argue, this book can be considered somewhat of a self-help book. It has taught me that I dont have to feel bad when I just kick back.
My only complaint is that for such a small easy read, it cost a pretty penny. Then again, I do see myself rereading it from time to time.

Prose for the overwrought...
Book title: Pan : From Lieutenant Thomas Glahn's Papers (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
This is a lyrical, beautiful novella in the most hated sense of the word. It is absolutely overwrought, emotive, undone and adolescent, and that is what makes this story and the lieutenant at its center wonderful.If you can't accept a marriage of 19th century pomp and the truly modern -- if [stated another way] you really must put on airs, steer cleer of Hamsun. If on the other hand you can lower your brow and smile, secure in your own intellectual prowess and unthreatened by self-consciously exquisite prose and a manipulative story... then read on. You'll find no better.I certainly enjoyed it.
