Dhammapada- The Sayings of the Buddha (Shambhala Pocket Classics)
1 recommendation
"One of the few scriptures studied by students of all sects of Buddhism, the Dhammapada is treasured as a universally accessible summary of the teachings of the Buddha. It presents the Buddhist path of liberation and the lyricism of the Buddha's teachings in an unabridged, miniature edition. Two-color interior. This is the version of the Dhammapada that I read and own, it is small enough to slip in..."

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's - Sixth Edition

"You'd be surprised how ridiculously simple and interesting this book is. It starts off assuming you know nothing. It then proceeds to explain what the heart is, how it works, what an EKG is, how to read EKG's and what they mean. Simple yet well balanced graphics inform with ease. There are also many real world EKG's displayed, from normal hearts to abnormal conditions. You do not need any previ..."

Message in a Bottle: Nicholas Sparks: Books
1 recommendation
"I know it's easier to watch the movie, but as with most books made into movies the book is 100% better. I don't know whether it's because you get to use you imagination to bring the characters to life or what, but this book is truly one of the best all time love stories. Nicholas Sparks is brilliant when it comes to writing books that make you want to fall in love. He is an absolutely wonderful wr..."

Banksy: Wall and Piece - Paperback
1 recommendation
"Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy is unmistakable, except maybe when it’s squatting in the Tate or New York’s Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of m..."

"Prepare to be amazed, appalled, disgusted, and hugely entertained by this compendium of indelicate oddities. Nothing is too inane, too insane, too bizarre, or too distasteful for this incredible, seemingly impossible, but absolutely true collection of facts from across the ages and around the world.

More Sex Is Safer Sex: Steven E. Landsburg
1 recommendation
"You know how economics is nothing but making ridiculous statements that can't be proven wrong and playing them off as a serious possibility. No shocker here, that's what this book does. But really, it's an economic theory book that revolves around the notion that the more people that have sex, the safer sex will be."
Amazon: Karma 101- What Goes Around Comes Around...and What You Can Do About It by Joshua Mack
1 recommendation
"Maybe it's just me, but it seems like mean people and ugly behavior are ever more becoming the rule, rather than the exception. Which is why I love this book so much . . . it gives plenty of examples of both the good and the bad and the in-my-lifetime consequences of each. As the opening quote by Sogyal Rinpoche so succinctly states, "Whatever we do, with our body, speech or mind, will have a co..."

Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar. . . Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes
1 recommendation
"Just look at that cover. Just look at that title. You couldn't expect me to pass that up, could you? Plato and a Platypus goes straight to the heart of most all philosophical theories, questions and answers. It does so using jokes. As it turns out, quite a few jokes (a book-full) illuminate quite a few philosophical ideas. Coincidence? Either way, a great read. Plus you'll get to throw aroun..."
The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography
2 recommendations
"This is a fascinating and mind-bending read. Simon Singh does an excellent job of taking a complex subject and making it into simple portions. It tells you what codes are, and how they are broken. It's quite a history lesson too - codes and ciphers have been in use since Caesar, and Egypt as well. You'll learn progressively harder (yet fascinating) code methods as well as cracking methods. It's ve..."
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (Penguin Modern Classics): Ian Fleming
1 recommendation
"Penguin Modern Classics continues to make over their line of 007 modern classics, I'm stuck on this cover the one with the band of grey which sets off a trilling photographic image of a lone skier facing the unknown. I got a glimpse of this book cover sitting abandoned in a hotel lobby, the classy design style of the object made me feel as if I'd entered Ian Fleming's glamorous spy world. Unfortun..."
Diamonds Are Forever (Penguin Modern Classics): Ian Fleming

"Looks like Penguin Modern Classics has a few versions of their Bond covers. I think their photographic and clean layout look gives the set a touch of class, the blue Bond girl on "Diamonds Are Forever" will surely turn a few heads."

Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media will co-finance the film, and Denzel Washington is attached to star.
