A book anyone can get in to

The first in the series, this book clearly sets up the following novel. I read this book and looked forward to the sequel. Robenalt had me guessing as to which young lady the hero, Caleb McAdams, would choose. A young man driven by tragedy in frontier Texas. Historical characters such as Jack C. Hays, Ben McCulloch, and Mirabeau Lamar - Texans are given the chance to connect in a creative way with "images" of Texas heroes. An enticing read for young adults as well.

A very comprehensive and insightful book that helps allow anyone to get going.  There is a ton of content.  The book is organized such that the reader can focus on specific topics according to individual needs.  I have a companion book that I use, Professional Wordpress.  The two go well together.

A great book, and well written! It is a book that I am sure that you can get at least one thing from. Some spots will even have you laughing.

Dr. Tony has written a useful, easy-to-read book.  You've heard some of the tips before - deveIoping SMART goals, the virtues of positivity, etc.but, there are some new gems that everyone can benefit from if practiced regularly.  It's not the type of book you absorb in one sitting - but, great for your library if you're a coach (organizationally or life) or possibly as a self-help book, making your way through it reading one tip a day.

A great book for anyone who enjoyed A Brief History of Time, Dancing Wu Li Masters, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, in spite of not understanding much of any of them.  An even better book for those who talk about those books without having read them.
A book that makes people think is rare, and a book that gets them to try to think together is a gem.  The magical way everyone identifies with Adams's cartoons works in this book to make everyone want to participate in the experiment.  This book is like a great meal - one hundred times better if shared with your friends.

I've read Little Brother a few times now.  It is a great book for anyone, but I'm particularly impressed that it is young adult fiction.  You could easily think that you are reading just a good story, but there's a lot more to this tale than simply a yarn.  Doctorow wants people (and kids in particular) to think for themselves and question things we take for granted.  More so, he not only presents computers and technology in a positive light, but gives his readers tools to discover these things on their own.  This book will be on the reading list of a generation of hackers to come.  Any kid with the proper motivation can become a Linux hacker, and books like this will interest the crowd that doesn't take technology for granted and wants to know what is happening under the hood.

One of the things I find most wonderful about this book is that I can pick it up and read only a page, and have something worth thinking about.  It is packed full of good, clear advice and ethical guidance. On first glance there are some ideas that seem obvious, and some that seem impossible. But with further reading and effort the impossible becomes easier to conceive of, and ideas that seemed obvious reveal hidden depths. I am on my second reading of the book, mixed with frequently jumping around in the text, and I'm certain I'll get something new from it with future readings as well.

A particularly lovely touch to this book is that with every piece of advice, there is an explanation, an example, or an anecdote - something to tie the subject in to our every-day lives.  For example, the section on common sense and tact quotes the late Jewish humorist Sam Levenson in saying "It's not so hard to be wise.  Just think of something stupid to say and don't say it." This seems like such a small thing, but this little bit of humor stays in my mind better than any lecture, and is just enough to remind me that I mean to improve.  Other such anecdotes show that some of the "impossible" expectations through the book are in fact anything but.

So many "self-help" and "self-improvement" books are easy to skim through, more fluff and cheery stories than content.  While many books on living the good life have passed through my hands, no other has lingered quite as well as this one.  Every time I open it I am reminded of some aspect of life that I should focus more on, and I expect it will be on my shelf for a very long time.

This book proves that anyone could write a book.  It was actually encouraging that someone, anyone, talented or not can actually publish a book these days. I think I will write one this week.

This is a remarkably readable book for young people ready to enter college.  The advice is concise, but often presented in a humorous fashion.  Because it isn't a wordy tome, the book invites readers to read just a little bit more, and the topics covered are important for consideration.

The fresh advice covers topics today's high school students probably haven't though about, and it may surprise them to learn that there are often a variety of ways to address a problem.

The format invites scanning, and that approach will provide insight into issues that weren't encountered at home or in local schools.  All the rumors about the freshman fifteen, roommate problems, teachers' expectations, being home sick, making new friends are covered.  The advice is to the point and worthy of consideration.

1001 Things Every College Student Needs to Know is a great gift to a grandchild who will soon be attending college.

Orders from Amazon come quickly, and the books are available as needed.

I was recommended this book by a friend and glad I bought it.  It is a type of book anyone can benefit from, no matter what type of work you do as it helps in the general understanding of human nature.
