Sing a Song of Tuna Fish: Hard-To-Swallow Stories From Fifth Grade
1 recommendation
"Esme Raji Codell shares a series of vignettes set during her long ago childhood- way back in 1979. Readers will find lots to identify with though, as Codell shares hilarious, touching and surprising stories about things like egg vigilantism, attracting boys and stealing matzoh. A great book for girls just entering adolescence that can open the door to discussions about parent's fifth grade misfire..."

Pride and Prejudice is a perfect, perfect novel - when I read it, everything else in my world seemd to freeze in time. Oh, how I wish I were the fiesty and truthful Elizabeth! Or do I wish I was Jane...be..."
Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity
4 recommendations
"For so long I have searched for the motivation to meditate... and along comes Catching the Big Fish. Thank you, Mr. Lynch, for proving that we are all inextricably connected as spiders in a web... and carrying along the message of inner enlightenment. If you only get one... I'd recommend the audiobook. I love David Lynch's voice. "COOP, YOU REMIND ME TODAY OF A SMALL, MEXICAN CHIWOWWOW!" ..."
The Count of Monte Cristo

"When I was in school, we were required to read 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas, and I have to admit it was one of the few book that grabbed my attention. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, The Count of Monte Cristo recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantes, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonmen..."

The Johnstown Flood (Unabridged)

"A story of a tragic accident at the end of the 19th century in America. If we hadn't all seen the damage from Katrina, it would be unbelievable that a tragedy of this magnitude could have happened in a developed country like the U.S."

Audible.com
6 recommendations
"Audible.com is a great resource for "books on tape" (for lack of a better term). I use Audible mostly for business and non-fiction books as they don't require much imagination. For fiction books, I tend to read them as I like to use my imagination while I read. Audible has plans that start at $9.95 on up to $22.95. Audible is actually a good deal when you consider you might pay over $20.00 for..."
State of Fear by Michael Crichton
2 recommendations
"If you've been wondering if global warming is true, this book will set you straight with some convincing arguments. For example, did you know that everybody who believes in global warming is ugly and everyone who doesn't is stunningly attractive? However accurate the science (and at this point I really don't know and mostly don't care) I still have to read (or listen to in this case) everything..."
