1.		Flags of Our Fathers from Wheeler Publishing Price: $30.95 Customer Review: I personally love historical books and picked this one up for that reason. This is one of the best I have ever read. It covers the lives of the 6 who raised the flag on Iwo Jima from their early childhoods up until death. What makes this such a good read, is that each person came from a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Mark Twain: A Life from Free Press Price: $6.40 Customer Review: This book COULD have been great. Biographies are my favorite genre and I've read a bunch of them - this one falls pretty flat. The author's biases are so clearly obvious he's almost a presence in the book himself, which is distracting even if you agree with his views, and irritating if you don't.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle: Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot from NAL Trade Price: $3.28 Customer Review: This is by far the best autobiography I've read. So many times autobiographies are full of technical data but lack the emotion of what the author was thinking. But this book stands above the rest, yes it has the technical data that we all crave but it has the emotions as well. You feel as if you are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Pudd'nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $5.00 Customer Review: What a remarkable, gripping book -- prescient and ahead of its time, and also of its time. Written with incisive insight and an ability to step outside his own world and look at cultural values objectively. The story of the black slave raised white is astonishing, albeit melodramatic, but the story... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Flags of Our Fathers: A Young People's Edition from Laurel Leaf Price: $2.40 Customer Review: This was a very good book, but there could have been many more facts shared.

6.		Last Flag Down: The Epic Journey of the Last Confederate Warship from Three Rivers Press Price: $8.04 Customer Review: Found this book very interesting not only through the history of the events surrounding the Shenandoah but also digging into the personalities of the key figures of the aboard the ship.

7.		The Gilded Age (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $8.30 Customer Review: Senate Seats for Sale...Corruption in Congress...Speculators Losing Fortunes...Lawyers Making a Mockery of the Justice System...these are all things that Mr. Twain and Mr. Dudley poke fun at in "The Gilded Age."

The Exercise Balance: What's Too Much, What's Too Little, and What's Just Right for You! from Gurze Books Price: $10.39 Customer Review: The Exercise Balance is a great book for anyone who exercises too much, not enough, or not at all.
