I am an avid reader and love wasting time with a book. Unfortunately I have less and less time to read with my busy life so I have also taken up listening to audiobooks in my car and on my mp3 player. I am pretty sure that everyone will agree I have impeccable taste in books... and well, pretty much everything else too.... so ask away if you... more »

  • American Tabloid: A Novel (Vintage)
    • Rated 2 stars

    Although this book had some interesting historical details, it was extremely long and boring. I definitely would only recommend it to someone who REALLY loves political fiction. I wasn't a fan. I even tried to listen to the audiobook to see if that helped. It didn't.

  • The Last Lecture
    • Rated 3 stars

    Good, I suppose, but not as good as everyone would make it seem. Read it for what it is - a self-help type of book. Nothing wrong with that. It's just not as life-changing as some would make you believe.

  • The Dangerous Days of Daniel X
    • Rated 1 stars

    One of the most poorly written books I have ever started. It was rubbish!

  • My Life
    • Rated 4 stars

    Surprisingly good. I am not a fan of Clinton's but thought this would give me some insight in his life. I actually gained an ounce of respect for the man by reading this biography. It is well written and largely unbiased.

  • Nothing is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life
    • Rated 2 stars

    This book had way to much self-promotion and political propaganda for my taste. I wish it talked more about his life which is what I was expecting. Don't expect a biography from this book because it isn't.

  • The Saint, the Surfer, and the CEO: A Remarkable Story About Living Your Heart's Desires
    • Rated 3 stars

    One of the decent self-help books I've read. Its not really cheesy like many of the others and has a good story to follow.

  • The Red Tent
    • Rated 3 stars

    I can easily see why this is a favorite book among women. To be honest, I quite enjoyed it myself but as a man it made me feel uncomfortable at times.

  • The One Minute Manager
    • Rated 2 stars

    Highly overrated book with very simplistic management principles. Its one of those books you pretend to like because your boss acts as though you are supposed to. My suggestion is just pretend you read it and then donate it to Goodwill. Save the time it would take to read it by actually working and showing your team what it takes to be a good manager.

    • Rated 2 stars

    All of the acclaim this book has received makes me seriously doubt the critics of the world. Am I the only one who was bored to tears and didn't see many redeeming qualities of this book? Ya, ya, I get that it discusses an important piece of history, but so do many other books that are a pleasure to read. Personally I thought this book was dreadful!

  • Lolita

    • Rated 2 stars

    I can accept the excitement and critical curiosity surrounding this novel. For its time it was a ground-breaking story and walked the line of acceptable literature. In my personal opinion, however, I found simply a story about a pervert and his Lolita. I think the critical assumptions of metaphor are nothing more than grasps at defending a lewd piece of fiction. But hey, whatever floats your boat...
