  • John Adams
    • Rated 5 stars

    I was completely unaware of the many battles and confrontations that established the path of this nation. It constantly reminded me of our issues today.

  • The Da Vinci Code
    • Rated 3 stars

    I greatly enjoyed Da Vinci Code. Yet, when someone asks if they should read it, I tell them it depends on their background. I found the book enjoyable because all of my long life I have absorbed non-fiction and documentary works on Holy Grail legends, Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, cipher codes, and general works on Catholicism. Without this background, I think I'd have found the book largely boring. The reference to the symbols here were a delightful interpretation and linking of elements that, in reality, probably have no such link at all. It was brilliantly excecuted. All of which you miss without the background.

    Written in 1991, this book remains relevant even today. Although it was written for the DOS operating system, many commands are still used for command line entries even in Windows XP. It remains a basic reference for any Windows advanced user.

  • C++ for Dummies, Third Edition
    • Rated 0 stars

    It presupposes a knowledge of C progamming, which dummies can't do. This is a dummie's book. look elsewhere.

  • The Joy of Cooking
    • Rated 5 stars

    For someone who wants to REALLY cook, the older edition, such as my 1941 version is great. This was published before the arrival of large ranges of prepared foods. There are pancake mixes that do not mention a prepared pancake mix nor Bisquick. This can be the one for truly making something from "scratch".

  • A Painted House
    • Rated 4 stars

    A wonderful book unlike any of the traditional Grisham novels. My mother was raised a Southern farm girl. It was terrific to get a better understanding of the world in which she lived. I only own those books I want to read again. I own this one.

  • Nerilka's Story
    • Rated 4 stars

    Told from a perspective of someone who is not a dragonrider, it covers the same time as Moreta, Dragonlady of Pern. Excellent story.

  • Ender's Game
    • Rated 4 stars

    Incredibly creative and enchanting. I enjoyed it so much I read all of the Ender series and then the Bean series. Highly recommended for SciFi lovers.

    An incredible read, worthy of more than one reading. Unquestionably a classic.
