| | 1. |  | The Tao of Pooh
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
Apparently, Taoism is about lazy, bitter Westerners superficially embracing Eastern mysticism in order to boost their own egos - and then cashing in on a beloved childhood icon to make a quick buck.
Hoff does a reasonable job of using actual quotations from Pooh to illustrate various simple... more info

| | 3. |  | A History of Reading
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
Book titles can be misleading because they work under the assumption that hundreds of pages can be summed up in a handful of words.

After eighteen years of being stereotyped as "the book worm," it's good to know that there's others out there like me. I agree wholeheartedly with Quindlen about the effect of books on life and on many of her other points. Her small book is simple but true. I can't wait to explore some of the books... more info
