My Mother in law asked me to order this cd and the book for her. I loved the cd and can't wait for the next part of the list to come out. Rosanne lives up to her family's legacy.

It's a list.  A very helpful list.  Just what is needed to keep on track when reading John Sandford's many novels.

Great read!! I'm going through her entire list of books, one by one now. There are a few grammatical and spelling errors but the storylines are really great. Lots of interesting twists and turns.

After the first couple of chapters I started a list in the back of the book. I won't spoil it for you by telling you what kind of list. But believe me, you'll need a list, too. When most people sit down to write their family's history, they head to the court house for birth certificates and marriage licenses. Frank headed to the courthouse for a whole lot more!

To be fair I'd probably read her grocery list and give it 5 stars. Her amazing story-telling abilities are not limited to young adult books. Her talent will be talked about for years to come along with the other greats!

In the interests of full disclosure, I have to admit that I am a big fan of book lists.  I have used the Modern Library fiction and non-fiction lists to find referrals and lists by Pringle and Moorcock to locate works of fantasy.  The CWA British and US lists have suggested a number of mystery gems I would not likely have found on my own.  For science fiction ideas, I have utilized a list of the 100 best novels from 1949 to 1984 by David Pringle.

Broderick and Di Filippo have updated Pringle's work by compiling a new list of SF novels from 1985 through 2010.  A foreward by David Pringle provides continuity with the earlier list.

The new collection resembles the earlier one in that it is chronological rather than providing a countdown to the best novel of the period.  It covers a shorter time by ten years and includes a much larger selection of female writers than the earlier book given the work produced in the period from which selections were made.  I find this new list to be better written and to have more value than the prior one.  Broderick and Di Filippo spend far less space than did Pringle on plot summary and provide more context regarding the subject matter in each book.  For example, the plot of Handmaid's Tale is compared to 1984 as well as to the way power relationships in society actually developed.  There is also more discussion of how some volumes came to be written.  The authors explain that Orson Scott Card expanded Ender's Game from a short story by changing the narrative viewpoint to that of an adult telling his story in retrospect.  The authors also take the time to think through where each work and author rests in SF history.  Ender's Game is compared to Starship Troopers, A Case of Conscience and The Female Man while China Meiville is expansively mentioned in the same breath as Mervyn Peake.

The authors demonstrate their considerable genre knowledge by recounting the literary history of certain tropes in the works represented.  In discussing Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, they talk about the development of stories dealing with black market body parts from Niven's Known Space in the sixties to current works.  Broderick and Di Filippo also show some courage in evaluating the overall output of some of the authors contained in their list as when they suggest that Card would be regarded as "a minor, respectable, forgotten craftsman" if not for the Ender series.

The true value of the list, of course, is not in the reading pleasure it delivers but in leading the discerning user to new books and authors.  Even though I thought I had consumed modestly in the SF field in recent years, I still found 87 books I had not read, many of which I had not come across in any other forum.  There are actually far more than 101 books considered as the authors list all 3 of Meiville's Bas-lag books when discussing Perdido Street Station and 4 of Gene Wolfe's series in the entry for Nightside the Long Sun.

In using lists as sources for reading referral, not only have I located hidden classics but I have found that virtually all recommended books reach at least an acceptable level of literary merit.  In a genre such as SF, where there is a very large range of quality exhibited in what is published, lists like those of Pringle and Broderick/Di Filippo can improve and enrich the reading selection process.

I was going down the free books list and downloaded this. I'm sure it is worth every penny.  Just not something  I need right now.
Just beware that this book was put on the wrong list. I cancelled my order very quickly.

I loved how the List of Possibilities picked up right where The Back-Up List ended.  I couldn't wait to find out what happened to Rory's life after what his wife pulled on him.  It held my interest the whole time.

Im a sucker for lists, so I was pretty much destined to love Gin Sanders The Big Bucket List Book.  I had no idea some of the experiences described in the book even existed, and now I cant wait to try them.  Ive read several of Sanders other books, including How to Become a Successful Weekend Entrepreneur, Green Christmas, and the Complete Idiots Guide to Getting Published, and Ive come away inspired to try something new every single time.  With her latest book, Ive got 133 new possibilities to choose from!  Too late to ride on a Mardi Gras float this year, but maybe next year?

This entire CD is amazing.  All songs were written and recorded by Jennifer Haase.  Listen to Oneonta with guest vocal by none other than Rosanne Cash.  I expect to hear "New Pink Sweater" on every station I turn on very soon.  Discover Jennifer - you won't be sorry!!

I purchased this book for my aunt who has been trying to shed pounds and learn how to eat right for years. She is definitely in need of a budgeted diet list. So the part about the DOLLAR STORE grocery list is perfect for her. I think a lot of people who struggle financially will definitely appreciate this book. Thanks J.P.!!!
