Since it came in the mail today I have not been  able to put it down.  I want to make everything in it!  I started  marking pages with strips of paper I ripped off the packing slip but  quickly ran out of paper.  Then I moved on to bending corners... pretty  soon I realized there was few pages left unmarked so I gave up!  I think  I could make any of these recipes for my husband and he wouldn&#39;t even  realize I made a low fat and healthy version of his favorite food.  That  is the true test--if a non-dieter can enjoy and even ask for dishes  made from a guilt-free recipe book! I have used my 200 under 200 recipe  book at least 5 times a week since I got it for Christmas and can&#39;t wait  to begin trying all these tasty new dishes. We are hooked on Hungry  Girl!  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;A must-have and a great gift!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I love the HG emails and products, and this book is great- in my  opinion, the best &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;btAsinTitle&quot;&gt;Hungry Girl  1-2-3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; book so far. I just started flipping  through it and already have tons of pages marked as things I want to  make later! I have a couple friends with birthdays coming up and I think  this will make a great gift. Since it&#39;s so inexpensive you could pair  it with a cute pink spatula or pot holder for a really fun complete  present!   The only thing I noticed after going through it for a while.... no  pictures. That&#39;s a downside in my book, but it still works.  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Best way to eat good!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;My wife and I have been changing how we eat since August of 2009.   Together since then we have lost over 117 pounds!&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;btAsinTitle&quot;&gt; Hungry Girl  1-2-3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; book&amp;nbsp; has been  helping us to eat healthier but not miss any of the taste!  LOVE HUNGRY  GIRL!  We try recipes almost daily.  Easy step by step instructions with  all the nutrition info we need to manage in weight watchers!  You gotta  get these cookbooks!

He is also the Oscar-nominated writer of Toy Story,  and Speed. Serenity, which he also wrote, is his feature film debut as  director. The movie is based on his cult SF TV series Firefly. Here&#39;s  Joss on why no-one should miss Serenity: &quot;Because it&#39;s exciting, funny,  scary, surprising, involving and meaningful. Plus, hovercraft chasel&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;    &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The movie, and much more&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This is the shooting script for the movie &quot;Serenity,&quot; but it only  starts there. It&#39;s also a long interview with creator Joss Whedon on the  show &quot;Firefly,&quot; what roles he originally envisioned for the characters  and how the actors embodied them, all the different elements that went  into creating a TV show like few others, and all the great insider stuff  that fans burn to know. Then there are the extras...   The definitive (since it&#39;s from Joss) history of how the &#39;Verse got  that way. How the government is set up. How the war for Unification  began with the best of good intentions. And how a young man named  Malcolm Reynolds volunteered. Star maps. Tons of photos from both sides  of the camera. Production drawings of weapons, ships, costumes  (including some beautifully drawn samples of Inara that I&#39;d like to see  available as prints), and every major set. Long notes from Joss about  lighting, direction, and cinematography. Quotes from the cast about  their characters. Storyboards for the exciting fight and chase scenes.  Oh, and the script, written in Joss&#39; trademarked style and including  scenes you won&#39;t see in the movie.  &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/6006312058170298747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/serenity-official-visual-companion.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/6006312058170298747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/6006312058170298747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/serenity-official-visual-companion.html' title='Serenity Official Visual Companion'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825847229285989422.post-3363953380556944070</id><published>2010-03-11T06:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T16:36:08.179-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><title type='text'>Final Fantasy XIII  ( final fantasy 13 )The Complete Official Guide</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

For your money, you get over 270 glossy, 8.5x11&quot;, full color,  beautifully illustrated pages that, as far as I can tell cover  EVERYTHING that you&#39;d ever want to know about the game except for most  of spoilers - the assumption is that you do NOT want to see spoilers.   The book is divided into six main section and an Index:    &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- QUICKSTART - things you need to know as you start the game and for  the first few hours of play. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- WALKTHROUGH - the bulk of the book (over 120 pages). It has all  the maps, all the scripted encounters - and much of FFXIII is tightly  scripted. It&#39;s a good thing to have whenever you get stuck and  discouraged. The authors promise that spoilers were kept to a minimum. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- STRATEGY AND ANALYSIS - here you get hints on tactics and  strategy, hidden games mechanics are covered, everything there is to  know about the Crystarium and Paradigm features. It&#39;s page after page  after page of illustrated data that help you get insights on how to  develop your character and how your team is likely to perform under  various paradigms. I can&#39;t say that I understand all the graphs and  charts at this time but I expect to visit the chapter more and more as I  advance deeper into the story. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- INVENTORY - every item you equip affects the outcome of the battle  and this chapter has it all, complete with tips and with the  mind-boggling charts where dozens if not hundreds of items are analyzed  and evaluated. In addition, each character&#39;s weapons are analyzed  separately. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- BESTIARY - If you didn&#39;t know, it turns out that there are 240  monsters you are likely to meet and here you can see exactly what they  look like and what their strengths and vulnerabilities are. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;- EXTRAS - it&#39;s a checklist of side and optional quests. There are  also a few pages on trophies but, most interestingly you get the actual  story of the 13 FFXIII days, all followed by a few more pages dedicated  to &#39;analysis and speculation&#39;. And, if you are someone who bothers to  actually read &#39;the signs&#39;, you get a Cocoon-to-English alphabet decoder. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am VERY pleased with this book. It&#39;s unlikely that I will ever  read everything but I will definitely read the first and last chapters,  refer to the Walkthrough section when in trouble, read &#39;strategy and  analysis&#39; maybe minus most of the stats, check the monster listings and  and the inventory section when curious about enemies or items.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/3363953380556944070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/final-fantasy-xiii-final-fantasy-13.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/3363953380556944070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/3363953380556944070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/final-fantasy-xiii-final-fantasy-13.html' title='Final Fantasy XIII  ( final fantasy 13 )The Complete Official Guide'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825847229285989422.post-6733147678204016024</id><published>2010-03-11T06:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T16:36:08.179-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><title type='text'>Eating Animals  By Jonathan Safran Foer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

But on the brink of  fatherhood-facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a  child&#39;s behalf-his casual questioning took on an urgency  His quest for  answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of  the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his  childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and  wrong. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir  and his own detective work, &lt;i&gt;Eating Animals&lt;/i&gt; explores the many  fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop  culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can  lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer&#39;s profound moral  ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and  creativity that made his previous books, &lt;i&gt;Everything is Illuminated&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close&lt;/i&gt;, widely loved, &lt;i&gt;Eating  Animals&lt;/i&gt; is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories  we&#39;ve told-and the stories we now need to tell.  &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;See More Detail............................. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/6733147678204016024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/eating-animals-by-jonathan-safran-foer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/6733147678204016024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/6733147678204016024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/eating-animals-by-jonathan-safran-foer.html' title='Eating Animals  By Jonathan Safran Foer'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825847229285989422.post-8355610045490827709</id><published>2010-03-10T15:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T16:36:08.180-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><title type='text'>Mourning Wood: A Novel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Terence Wood, a fading  Hollywood icon, stages his own death, and &quot;disappears&quot; into the workaday  world of a Maine coastal town...     Axel Pimletz, a  never-shined-enough-to-fade newspaper hack, catches the assignment of  his nothing special career when his front page obituary of the presumed  dead Wood wins him the chance to complete the man&#39;s &quot;posthumous&quot;  memoirs...      Behind a full growth of beard and a name and  back-story borrowed from one of his forgettable pictures, Wood throws in  with the louts and fishermen of Bar Harbor, Maine like it&#39;s in his  blood... he takes a job as a costumed cartoon-crustacean character at a  seaside amusement park and feels he&#39;s doing the best acting of his  career... he even falls for a dramatically overweight coffee shop matron  who takes him in, offers girth and succor, and eventually wises to  Wood&#39;s secret...     Pimletz, desperate to write his way out of  his lone opportunity, begins to take on the trappings of Wood&#39;s life...  he lives in the great man&#39;s cabin... he sleeps with the great man&#39;s  estranged (and strangely widowed) wife... he does what little he can to  make sense of the big mess Wood has left behind.     Meanwhile,  Wood celebrates his transformation and learns to greet each day like  it&#39;s brand-new... Pimletz tries on Wood&#39;s abandoned persona and  struggles with the fit... and Wood&#39;s left-behind family (his son, an NYU  film student with a fruit-flavored drinking problem, and his variously  problemed ex-wives) take turns mourning the great man&#39;s death, in what  ways they can manage.     Eventually, Pimletz&#39;s assumption of the  fallen icon&#39;s persona takes him to Bar Harbor, where he hopes to track  down the misdirected letters Wood had meant to deliver to his son  Norman, to explain his sudden &quot;death&quot; and make repairs...in the end,  Wood&#39;s old world collides with his new one, and he returns to the rest  of his life with his overweight coffee shop matron in tow, and his  &quot;ghostwriter&quot; on call... the man Wood was has indeed died in the fallout  from his staged death, although it&#39;s not entirely clear what kind of  man he has become... &lt;h2&gt; Customer Reviews&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Funny, perceptive and highly entertaining!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This is a great book.  A real surprise.  What a treat. On the one  hand, this is a tale of reinvention.  It&#39;s a story about having (or  having had) everything you wanted - and then still wanting to call a  do-over.   On the other hand, it is hysterical.  Sometimes it&#39;s  hysterical in a laugh-out-loud sort of a way.  Sometimes in a  sneak-up-on-you-the-next-day-in-the-shower sort of a way.  It is a  biting, insightful look at pop culture through the lens of a one-time  A-list Hollywood leading man who sees the opportunity to make himself  relevant again - to himself and to the world, by dying.  Sort of. From  the writer&#39;s bio it seems that he has written a number of books with  celebrities.  And that inside feel really comes across when you read  this book.  You have the feeling of getting into the mind and culture of  someone who has lived his life under the watchful eye of the media and  his adoring public.  There&#39;s a kind of Being John Malkovich thing going  here - as the writer brings you into the head of a Jack Nicholson kind  of guy, and he&#39;s got the street cred and the chops to really pull it  off.  On the other side of the story is this kind of hapless, deadbeat  newspaper obit writer - and the vivid accounts of his life and  perspective, to often bitingly hilarious result. I highly recommend  this book.  &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extremely entertaining,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Paisner is consistently good.  Whether he is writing one of his  numerous celebrity biographies or a novel, his style and story keep you  interested from page one.  The characters in Mourning Wood are so  innovative and interesting; they are a breath of fresh air from your  standard pop culture fare.  I believe this is the second novel of  Paisner&#39;s and I can only hope that he turns more of his attention to  fiction as both of these have been treats.  &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;are you serious&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot;

In Dr. Starr&#39;s description of  Type 2 Hypothyroidism, he presents overwhelming evidence showing a  majority of Americans suffer this illness, which is due to environmental  and hereditary factors.  Laboratory testing used to diagnose  hypothyroidism is completely inadequate, and current treatment for  hypothyroidism is ineffective.  Groundbreaking research shows how  persistent environmental toxins prevent thyroid and other hormones from  working properly.  This book will lead you to understanding more  about your health than anything you have ever read.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;productDetails&quot;&gt; &lt;h2&gt;    Product Details&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Amazon Sales Rank: #5 in Books &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Published on: 2005-03-04&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Original language:       English&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Number of items: 1&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Binding: Paperback&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;271 pages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;    Editorial Reviews&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;editorialReviews&quot;&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;About the Author&lt;/span&gt; As a Diplomat of the American Board of Pain Medicine and Fellow of the  American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dr. Starr  delivered lectures at International Courses on Musculoskeletal Pain and  Fibromyalgia. The courses were held at Mt. Sinai Hospital and University  of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a life member  of the national registry of WhoÂ’s Who published in the 1999 edition.  Dr.  Mark Starr finished his residency in Physical Medicine and  Rehabilitation at the University of Missouri, Rusk Rehabilitation Center  in 1994. The following two years, he studied in New York City with  several of the worldÂ’s premier pain specialists: Hans Kraus, MD, Norman  Marcus, MD. Lawrence Sonkin, MD, PhD, and Andrew A Fischer, MD, PhD.  Initially, Dr. Starr worked eighteen months at the Bronx VeteranÂ’s  Hospital with Dr. Fischer, the renowned musculoskeletal pain specialist,  author, lecturer, and former student of Hans Kraus. Following his work  with Dr. Fischer, Dr. Starr studied at the New York Pain Treatment  Program at Lenox Hill Hospital, with Drs. Kraus and Marcus. Dr. Starr  was treated by and studied under Dr. Sonkin, the New York Cornell  Endocrinologist, who worked closely with Dr. Kraus for thirty years. Dr.  KrausÂ’ books included Therapeutic Exercise, Backache, Stress, and  Tension, The Sports Injury Handbook, and Diagnosis and Treatment of  Muscle Pain.  Dr. Starr has been in private practice since 1996.  He has attended American Academy of Anti-aging Meetings &amp;amp; American  Academy of Environmental Medicine meetings. Dr. Starr is involved in  clinical studies on the relationship and treatment of hormone  imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, Candidiasis, chemical sensitivities,  chronic fatigue, and pain. He is adept at maximizing health through  natural hormone therapies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;    Customer Reviews&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;You will be mad as Hell (when you read this  book)!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Dr. Starr returns to the essence of medicine:  Listening to what the  patient has to say and looking at the patient and finding evidence to  make the diagnosis. He pays great homage to the early pioneers in  thyroidology, referencing their publications and insights, and provides  photographs clearly showing the physical consequences when thyroid  hormones, despite &quot;normal&quot; laboratory tests, are not working.  At last,  someone has stepped up to the plate and decried the medical profession&#39;s  reliance, no, blind faith, in third-party medicine (blood, spit, urine  lab tests).  Skepticism helped medicine leap forward centuries ago.  Dr.  Staar&#39;s excellent book brings it on. After reading this book, you will  know, you, or someone dear to you, will have some expression of  hypothyroidism type 2 (thyroid hormone resistance syndrome).  His book  will empower you to seek, no, insist, on getting the proper treatment.  Dr. Staar&#39;s assessment that this is an epidemic is true. This is a  must-read for all healthcare professionals.  &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Right on Target&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have traveled from Florida to see Dr. Starr and will continue to &lt;br /&gt;do so because he is right on target with my diagnosis and treatment.  &lt;br /&gt;His book shows how this problem is an epidemic and is being totally &lt;br /&gt;ignored.  When blood tests actually do show a problem it is being &lt;br /&gt;ineffectively treated, which I can attest to.  Now that I understand the&lt;br /&gt;issues I can better deal with my health problems that grow less and &lt;br /&gt;less each day.  I&#39;ve sent my mother and my sister to see Dr. Starr.  His&lt;br /&gt;claim that this disease runs in families is true in my case as well.  &lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m the fourth generation with thyroid problems.  I finally feel as if I&lt;br /&gt;have found a health practitioner that truly understands my problems.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anyone has any doubt that hypothyroidism is not an epidemic, or  you want to convince your doctor to listen to you, please run out and  buy this book.  It will make you understand the issues and the  interactions with heart disease, diabetes, obesity and many others.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/5821026458104044840/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/hypothyroidism-type-2-epidemic.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/5821026458104044840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/5821026458104044840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/hypothyroidism-type-2-epidemic.html' title='Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic (Paperback)'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825847229285989422.post-3399052179558749405</id><published>2010-03-10T15:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T16:36:08.180-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><title type='text'>American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies that the Government Tells Us (Hardcover)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

For too long, we the people have sat  by and let politicians and bureaucrats from both parties obfuscate and  lie. And according to this former Navy SEAL, former pro wrestler, and  former Minnesota governor, the media is complicit in these acts of  deception. For too long, the mainstream press has refused to consider  alternate possibilities and to ask the tough questions. Here, Ventura  looks closely at the theories that have been presented over the years  and separates the fact from the fiction.  In Ventura’s eyes,  the murder of Abraham Lincoln and the assassinations of the Kennedys and  Martin Luther King, all need to be re-examined. Was Watergate presented  honestly, or was the CIA involved? Did the Republican Party set out to  purposefully steal two elections on behalf of George W. Bush? Has all  the evidence been presented about the 9/11 attacks or is there another  angle that the media is afraid to explore? And finally, is the collapse  of today’s financial order and the bailout plan by the Federal Reserve  the widest-reaching conspiracy ever perpetrated?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; “If you’re  talking outspoken, unconventional, and no-holds-barred, you’re talking  Jesse Ventura.”—Larry King&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; “I wouldn’t mind seeing Ventura  run for president (or for senator, or dog-catcher, or whatever). In  addition to talking conspiracy, he’s likely to raise all sorts of other  trouble.”—Damon W. Root, &lt;em&gt;Reason Magazine&lt;/em&gt; .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;productDetails&quot;&gt; &lt;h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Product Details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Amazon Sales Rank: #4 in Books &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Published on: 2010-03-08&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Original language:       English&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Number of items: 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Binding: Hardcover&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;272 pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Editorial Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;editorialReviews&quot;&gt;   &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;About the Author&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dick Russell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; is a nationally  respected activist,  environmentalist, and author of five critically acclaimed books,  including  &lt;em&gt;The Man Who Knew Too Much&lt;/em&gt; and  &lt;em&gt;Don&#39;t Start the  Revolution Without Me&lt;/em&gt;  (with Jesse Ventura). Russell is a prolific   publisher in many of the nation&#39;s top magazines and has been a guest on  many national TV and  radio programs, including the &lt;em&gt;Joan Rivers   Show&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;NBC Nightly News&lt;/em&gt;.

If you&#39;re  looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.  &lt;i&gt;Rework  &lt;/i&gt;shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business. Read  it and you&#39;ll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don&#39;t need  outside investors, and why you&#39;re better off ignoring the  competition.&amp;nbsp;The truth is, you need less than you think. You don&#39;t need  to be a workaholic. You don&#39;t need to staff up. You don&#39;t need to waste  time on paperwork or meetings. You don&#39;t even need an office. Those are  all just excuses.  What you really need to do is stop talking  and start working. This book shows you the way. You&#39;ll learn how to be  more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons  more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.  With  its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, &lt;i&gt;Rework &lt;/i&gt;is  the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their  own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day  jobs they hate, victims of &quot;downsizing,&quot; and artists who don’t want to  starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;productDetails&quot;&gt; &lt;h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Product Details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Amazon Sales Rank: #5 in Books &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Published on: 2010-03-09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Released on: 2010-03-09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Original language:       English&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Number of items: 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Binding: Hardcover&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;288 pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Editorial Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;editorialReviews&quot;&gt;   &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;Amazon.com Review&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span class=&quot;h1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amazon Exclusive: Seth Godin Reviews &lt;i&gt;Rework&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; &lt;b&gt;Seth Godin is the author of &lt;i&gt;Linchpin&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Tribes&lt;/i&gt;,  &lt;i&gt;The Dip&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Purple Cow&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;All Marketers Are Liars&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Permission  Marketing&lt;/i&gt;, as well as other international bestsellers.

Initially I was going just to  read few chapters, but ended up reading the whole book in under 2  hours. It doesn&#39;t contain any secret techniques, doesn&#39;t use fancy  &quot;business&quot; terms, in fact it mocks most of these things, and does it  pretty good. You can tell that authors do enjoy their work, and  especially the flexibility of their business, that&#39;s why the book  criticizes such things as boring meetings, complicated business plans  etc. Even if you don&#39;t agree with everything they say, there&#39;s still  that nice feeling when you realize that authors have built very  successful business having these concepts in mind. Also, &quot;Re-Work&quot; has  very small chapters, which I find a real advantage, as every time you  turn the page, you read something new. Overall, my best recommendations.&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/689331314119634428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/rework.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/689331314119634428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/689331314119634428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/rework.html' title='Rework'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825847229285989422.post-3100140321654828132</id><published>2010-03-09T15:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T16:36:08.181-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><title type='text'>Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

He ran the national College Republicans at  twenty-two, and turned a Texas dominated by Democrats into a bastion for  Republicans. He launched George W. Bush to national renown by unseating  a popular Democratic governor, and then orchestrated a GOP White House  win at a time when voters had little reason to throw out the incumbent  party. For engineering victory after unlikely victory, Rove became known  as &quot;the Architect.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Because of his success, Rove has been  attacked his entire career, accused of everything from campaign  chicanery to ideological divisiveness. In this frank memoir, Rove  responds to critics, passionately articulates his political philosophy,  and defends the choices he made on the campaign trail and in the White  House. In the course of putting the record straight, Rove takes on  Democratic leaders like Harry Reid and Tom Daschle who acted cynically  or deviously behind closed doors, and even Republicans who lacked  backbone at crucial moments.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Among other controversial  topics Rove addresses, he sets the record straight on:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The  facts of his mother s suicide and reports of his father s alleged  homosexuality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The accusation that he bugged his own office  in Texas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The real story of how George W.

Rove takes readers behind the scenes of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The bitterly  contested 2000 presidential contest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Every tense minute  aboard Air Force One on 9/11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The decision to go to war in  Afghanistan and Iraq, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The hard-won 2004 reelection  fight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Rove is candid about his mistakes in the West  Wing and in his campaigns, and talks frankly about the heartbreak of  his early family years. He spells out what it takes to win elections and  how to govern successfully once a candidate has won. But &lt;i&gt;Courage and  Consequence&lt;/i&gt; is ultimately about the joy of a life committed to the  conservative cause, a life spent in political combat and service to  country, no matter the costs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;productDetails&quot;&gt; &lt;h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Product Details&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Amazon Sales Rank: #3 in Books &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Published on: 2010-03-09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Original language:       English&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Number of items: 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Binding: Hardcover&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;608 pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mr. Rove speaks the truth (finally&lt;/b&gt;)&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Well, the time to hear the other side is finally here. Karl Rove  gets to tell his side of the story. After spending 10 years hearing the  liberal media implicate him in every possible conspiracy theory  possible, Rove sets the record straight.

A RIOT! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Life doesn&#39;t get more  hilarious than when Chelsea Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit.  Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on  her show?  Now, in this new collection of original essays, the #1  bestselling author of &lt;i&gt;Are You There, Vodka? It&#39;s Me, Chelsea&lt;/i&gt;  delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights  on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood.    Family moments are fair game, whether it&#39;s writing a report on  Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social  graces by ordering him to stay indoors.   It&#39;s open season on her love  life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake  autopsy, and the Santa Monica pier) to adopting a dog so she can snuggle  with someone who doesn&#39;t talk.

Stephenie is the author of &lt;a href=&quot;http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/twilight-saga-collection-box-set.html&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Twilight&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;New  Moon&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Eclipse&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Breaking Dawn&lt;/i&gt;.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt; &lt;h2&gt;    Customer Reviews&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Complete Hardcover Twilight Saga&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This set includes all the books from the Twilight Saga, which  includes; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and lastly Breaking Dawn. The  books themselves are exactly likes the ones you find at any bookstore,  in hardcover. The case it comes in has all the book covers displayed on  each side minus the names of each book.   What is included that you couldn&#39;t normally get by buying each one  individually elsewhere are 4 5x7-ish cards that have the cover picture  on one side, then quotes from the corresponding book written on the  other. for example: one 5x7 has a picture of the twilight cover, hands  holding a red apple, then the other side it says, &quot;About three things i  was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a  part of him--and i didn&#39;t know how dominant that part of him might  be--that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and  irrevocably in love with him.&quot; (I included some pictures so you can get a  better idea of what they are)   I would recommend this set to those who do not already own the  twilight collection(like me) and would like to own all the books(i  borrowed them all from a friend). Or of course obsessed twilight fans.  There&#39;s nothing truly remarkable about the set so i wouldn&#39;t go buying  this if you already own all the books.    I am very happy with my purchase nonetheless. This saga is one of my  favorites.   &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gorgeous keepsake collection of all four books  in the Twilight series!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;5&quot; class=&quot;custReviewStars&quot; height=&quot;11&quot; name=&quot;pngImage&quot; src=&quot;http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png&quot; width=&quot;56&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a value buy for those who are contemplating sinking their &lt;br /&gt;teeth [pun intended] into Stephenie Meyers&#39; Twilight series as it not &lt;br /&gt;only offers all four books, i.e. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and &lt;br /&gt;Breaking Dawn for a great price, they all come housed in a gorgeous &lt;br /&gt;keepsake box. I have all four of the books in hardcover, but I purchased&lt;br /&gt;them individually as they were released, and am seriously contemplating&lt;br /&gt;getting this boxed set which I can keep as a souvenir, and then use the&lt;br /&gt;other books as my reading copies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, for those who are new to the series, the books are in the &lt;br /&gt;following order:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twilight - Bella Swan moves to a small town near Seattle called &lt;br /&gt;Forks and meets Edward Cullen, an enigmatic student at her high school &lt;br /&gt;who turns out to be a vampire and lives with his clan in a magnificent &lt;br /&gt;mansion. As the romance between Bella and Edward blossom, they have to &lt;br /&gt;face obstacles such as the physical &#39;constraints&#39; of being in a &lt;br /&gt;mortal-vampire relationship, facing objections from their respective &lt;br /&gt;families, and threats from other more vicious vampires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Moon - Edward and Bella are parted and Bella is so heartbroken &lt;br /&gt;that her life becomes empty and without direction. Enter Jacob Black, &lt;br /&gt;the tall, dark and handsome friend from the reservation, La Push who &lt;br /&gt;provides Bella with not only friendship but someone she can trust and &lt;br /&gt;rely on during a desperate time. Of course, nothing in Bella Swan&#39;s life&lt;br /&gt;is ever quite so simple and complications crop up once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eclipse - Edward and Bella are back together, much to the &lt;br /&gt;disappointment and disgust of Jacob Black, himself now an other-worldly &lt;br /&gt;being. Will he convince Bella that he is more worthy of her love or will&lt;br /&gt;Edward prevail?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breaking Dawn - the final instalment in the series.

Kronos&#39;s army is stronger  than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil  Titan&#39;s power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the  rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City,  where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded.  Now it&#39;s up to Percy  Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.      In  this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy  Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding  Percy&#39;s sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western  civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying  suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;productDetails&quot;&gt; &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;h2&gt;       Product Details&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Amazon Sales Rank: #34 in Books &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Published on: 2009-05-05&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Released on: 2009-05-05&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Original language:       English&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Number of items: 1&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Binding: Hardcover&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;400 pages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;       Features&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;ISBN13: 9781423101475&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Condition: NEW&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Notes: Brand New from Publisher.

His previous novels  for adults include the hugely popular Tres Navarre series, winner of the  top three awards in the mystery genre. He lives in San Antonio, Texas,  with his wife and two sons.  &lt;span class=&quot;reviewtitle&quot;&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://astore.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000027671&quot;&gt;AudioFile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The fifth volume of the Percy Jackson adventure series follows the  travails of the 15-year-old half-human son of the Greek god Poseidon.  The dyslexic, hyperactive teen takes on the curse of Achilles&#39;s heel,  discovers newfound powers, visits the kingdom of Poseidon, and finds  romance as a battle mounts against Kronos. With a touch of teenage  geekiness to his voice, Jesse Bernstein is able to master Percy&#39;s sense  of angst. While his voice is youthful, however, Bernstein lacks the  speed and energy to allow listeners to completely suspend disbelief, and  his tone lapses into a whining quality that some may find off-putting.

Beautiful book,  I had some   reprints of this material when I was a little kid and after I got older I   always wanted a collection of only Lee/Ditko material and lo and  behold  three Spider-man movies later Marvel unveils this mammoth book  of the  first 38 issues as well as other early appearances of the  Webhead.   Amazon&#39;s price is very nice and certainly cheaper than what  will be  found in a comic book store, not that folks shouldn&#39;t support  their  local comic book stores but a deal is a deal. The book does is  titled as  Volume 1 so just as there has been a volume 2 of the  Fantastic Four,  there very well may be a Volume 2 of The Amazing  Spider-man within a few  years.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/8685066353651125575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/amazing-spider-man-omnibus-vol-1-v-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/8685066353651125575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/8685066353651125575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/amazing-spider-man-omnibus-vol-1-v-1.html' title='Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Hardcover)'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825847229285989422.post-2545613469754357144</id><published>2010-03-07T07:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T16:36:08.182-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cartoon"/><title type='text'>The X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating  from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and  her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger.  Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine,  the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one  will tell Skeeter where she has gone.  Aibileen is a black maid,  a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has  shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his  bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks  after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.  Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest  woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t  mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a  position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But  her new boss has secrets of her own.  Seemingly as different  from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together  for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why?  Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and  their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.  In  pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women  whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a  town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one  another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, &lt;i&gt;The  Help&lt;/i&gt; is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by,  and the ones we don’t. &lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/feeds/7430790426709631889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/help.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/7430790426709631889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4825847229285989422/posts/default/7430790426709631889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://buybooksale.blogspot.com/2010/03/help.html' title='The Help'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
