Since I can't read them all, CD's and tapes are my thing. Although a serious book, it was eye opening and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

This has got to be one of the most inspirational and thoughtful recent reads out there of late. It lives up to Albom's "Teusday's With Morrie,"

I listen to books in the car and this a really great reading of this Ayn Rand classic which I have always wanted to read. The ideals that Ayn Rand espoused are thought-provoking and are timely now that our economy is in peril. I recommend highly this audio rendition.

This was my first introduction to Anne Rice. All I can say is WOW! I could not get out of the car at times for fear of missing something. I hate when that happens.

I absolutely loved this book. It's no surprise it was on the NY Times Bestseller list for such a long time. Mary Karr relates her memoir in a unsentimental, straightforward way that it calls to mind the plain-speaking, frank nature of East Texas people. A beautifully written book - it's rich descriptions were melodic, visual and swept me away into her family drama. I loved my time there.
