2.Three Cups of Tea: One Man s Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a TimeThree Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $9.00

Customer Review:
I wish Greg Mortenson had come to me to write this book. I could have saved him thousands of superfluous adjectives. He is built up to be a hero for our times....perhaps he is, but David Oliver Relin's prose is so sickening and (to a fellow aspiring writer) embarrassing that the reader wishes to be... more info

What a joy to find a well-researched book about three famous singers I so much wanted to emulate as a young woman. This book not only chronicles three artists' lives, it captures the magic of a generation. If you lived through the 60's and 70's this is a must read. If you didn't, it serves as a an... more info

Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
This book fleshed out so much history that we knew or didn't know in the time frame from President Washington to President John Quincy Adams.There were political situations that were as relevant as today's newspapers.

5.A Remarkable MotherA Remarkable Mother
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $15.38

Customer Review:
Carter was arguably the worst president in the past century. Since then, he has been an embarrassment. He believes he has interesting things to talk about, but in reality we would all be better off if he would just build houses and leave the rest alone.

from NAL Trade
Price: $12.00

Customer Review:
Expertly woven, well-crafted tales of several protagonists and antagonists during the Middle Ages in a fictional village (Kingsbridge) in England. There's never really a single focus on any one character, that is what I say there are several protagonists and antagonists. You truly hate the... more info
