Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Greg Mortenson has set a bar so high that it is beyond the reach of most of us. However, as a female Geography teacher, for many years I have explained to my students every semester that one of the biggest problems in the world today is the lack of educational opportunities for females. Thank you, Greg, for helping to alleviate that problem. Also, as a Geography teacher, I particularly appreciated the incredible descriptions of places I will never be able to visit. Thank you David Relin. This is a fabulous book.

Informative and well referenced. Gave me the impression that the author told you when there was any question about reported facts and covers alot not brought out by the liberal media. Confirmed my informed opinion.

I never thought I would want to read a book like this, but after seeing Tori's reality show (yes I got sucked into that too) I wanted to read it and it was a really great read...it gives a great peek into a life that you hear about via the media...but this was her perspective and helps one understand who she is now and how her life isn't at all what you would assume.

.Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down
City Travel Guides > Books > Biographies and Memoirs
by: Kaylene Johnson

April 01, 2008
Just FYI: Obama operatives are creating phony "conservative" reviews to spread lies and smear Palin---trying to dissuade moderates and independents. Last year, Newsweek magazine had an article praising Governor Palin's "pragmatic, postpartisan approach to solving problems, a style that works especially well with the large numbers of independent voters."

.The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage)
City Travel Guides > Books > Biographies and Memoirs
by: Barack Obama

July 15, 2008
I wanted to see what inspired Oprah to say this was one of the most outstanding books she ever read. It was the biggest bunch of fluff I have ever read. It says we need to work together to accomplish goals and to end partisan bickering. Then it says unlike Republicans who cut student loans or spent millions to defeat Democarts. It is the life of a man who had not even been in the U.S. Senate yet. How does someone with no background win an election and the next month get a three book deal for 1.9 million and it go unnoticed? This was a novice who got paid to write whatever popped into his head for the sake of money.

Do not read in bed...you'll never go to sleep...you'll be laughing to hard.
Not as great as her newest... Are you there vodka, but still highly enjoyable and a fun read.

I should have read reviews of this book before buying it. I've been a member of a local, organic, community supported farm for 2 summers BEFORE I read this book. The first couple of chapters were very hard to get through, and I kept thinking, OK she's going to get into the specifics soon... But they never came. I assumed that she'd be writing to an audience that already knew of the importance of eating locally, and was going to give good advice on how to apply it practically for a whole year. WRONG. I'm a little more than halfway through and I can't wait to be done with it. There are no details about the variety in her garden, pest control, planting times for different produce. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is the fact that they didn't really only eat ... Read More:

.Night (Oprah's Book Club)
City Travel Guides > Books > Biographies and Memoirs
by: Elie Wiesel

January 16, 2006
I was happy to see that this book was added to Oprah's book club, this ment that millions who never knew of this book would read it or at least hear it's story. I read this in college as part of the debates on wither the US should have entered WW2 before 1941. When I was done I felt that I had been robbed. Not that I didn't enjoy the book but that noone had told me about it before. I would rather have read this in Middle or High school then some of the junk books they forced on us, and while Romeo and Joilet is a fine work I belive that the story Wiesel gives us is more timly and would give kids something to think about.
The story of Wiesel and his Father in the camps should make anyone who reads this book take note of what happens when Fascism and National Socalism ... Read More:
