Bridget Jones's Diary
This is a most amusing book - and I challenge every woman who reads it to not identify with Bridget in some small way - even if it horrifies you to admit it! Take this for what it is, an enormously entertaining …

Birds of Prey (Courtney Family Adventures)
This is the fourth time I've attempted to place a review of this book on-line. Well maybe the fourth is the charm.    This tale's a sweeping adventure about English (and other) pirates …

Death at the Dog
A Colorado mystery bookstore, The Rue Morgue, has been on a mission to reprint long-forgotten mysteries of the 1930s and 1940s, and their latest is "Death at The Dog," a tale of a murder in a rural British …

HEROES
Mr Pilger is a talented journalist who is able to take everyday people and make them appear much more than ordinary. This is a series of essays guaranteed to keep your attention and make you want to read …

Process Patterns: Building Large-Scale Systems
This is an amazing book that should be required reading not only for OOSP engagements, but for more traditional approaches as well. This is must reading, especially by project managers.

Physical Optics
The book's coverage is sketchy, and admittedly oriented towards a graduate course given in the optics program at the University of Colorado (which I attended). The presentation is often hurried, with …

Arn Anderson 4 Ever: A Look Behind the Curtain
I read this book many months ago and it was indeed well worth the wait as I ordered it straight from the publisher. With every page, Arn is able to tell you the emotions he went through growing up poor, …

King Rat
If I think of World War II I think of King Rat - a novel of suffering and misery, but also a novel of man's triumph over insurmountable odds, and how life can be good when it really shouldn't be. It is …

The Bridges of Madison County
I was given this book to read by someone who said I would enjoy it. Sure, I thought. But I decided to give it a go. The 1st half is poor - slow, almost amatuerish, but by the middle I was interested, …

Enduring Love: A Novel
I purchased this book with an air of expectation and indeed it started off very well. But the menace implied just didn't eventuate, and I must admit I skipped big chunks of the text. Overall I was very …

The Reader
This is an interesting book in that it reads as a simple novel of a young man's first sexual experience with an older woman, and yet we all know it is so much more than that. Like all stories relating …

Sarum: The Novel of England
This is a sweeping historical saga in the Michener vein, with clearly drawn characters and some of the most beautiful countryside in England. What makes it particularly interesting is that the story happens …

Philistines at the Hedgerow: Passion and Property
This book of money, money and money in the Hamptons read like one long glorious gossip column! But I don't mean this as a criticism - we wouldn't be human if we didn't like gossip. And what is juicier …

How to Live with a Neurotic Cat
If you own a cat you need this book. It is a book that makes you laugh out loud, and in addition to this humour it is VERY accurate. If you have a friend who has a new cat in their lives, send them this …

The Prince of Tides: A Novel
This is a rich and complex novel which pulls you in to the lives of the characters in a way which so few other novels do. I have read it several times but somehow I have never made it through the last …

This book about Michaelangelo is in reality a study of what drives a great artist - obsession, desire, hunger, and in his case, family loyalty. It is a magnificent book, a true achievement, but I would …

As a child I was always going to grow up and become a famous archaeologist (I never made it - I am actually a psychologist). My young daughter is similarly interested, and this is a great book for someone …

The Life of Birds
The BBC series had me completelely riveted, and the book seemed a logical extension of my fascination. But it is more than that - it is very readable, and entertaining. It has magnificent glossy pictures, …

A Spaniard in the Works
John Lennon was undoubtedly a very complex man, and he had a marvellous sense of humour. The spoonerisms in some tales are magnificent - some stories are real laugh out loud material. But there is still …

A Fine Balance
How to praise this book? It is horrific, funny, depressing, uplifting, beautiful and shocking. It is readable without the cloying prose that has stilted many other books on India, and leaves the reader …

The Lottery and Other Stories
I first read "The Lottery" in high school and it has stuck with me ever since. The title story is by far the best in this volume, but leave it till last, as the anticipation of its ultimate arrival whilst …

Collected Poems: Auden
Even if you don't like poetry, you will like these rhymes. They are witty, they are deep, they cover so many aspects of life with their realism and magic. Everyone needs a book of poetry - why not have …

The God of Small Things
You may be curious to read this award winner which has sold so well. But it is mostly all hype, and ultimately it is a difficult to read, disjointed novel. For anyone who is interested in India, Rohinton …
