The Realization of Being

by Eckhart Tolle  ()
average customer review:  4.6 out of 5 stars  (13)

Words are useful signposts, Eckhart begins, but our main spiritual teacher is stillness. This powerful energy field is always available to us through meditation. In simple language, he explains how to listen with your entire body while working with the body, mind, and attention in order to merge with this moment.

The Assault on Reason

by Al Gore  ()
average customer review:  4.3 out of 5 stars  (357)

As scathing as it is meticulous, Gore's treatise on reason juggernauts its way through the Bush administration, never even needing to include the controversial nature of Bush's presidential elections. He identifies the growing concentration of power in the executive branch virtually ignored by mainstream media.

Men at Arms

by Terry Pratchett  (2005-09-05)
average customer review:  4.4 out of 5 stars  (84)

Corporal Carrot, a young dwarf, is newly in charge of the recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork. Edward, the 37th Lord d'Eath, has just discovered that Ankh-Morpork, kingless for generations, has a sovereign ruler, who must be convinced that he is, in fact, the King. The fate of Ankh-Morpork rides on a young man's courage, an ancient sword's magic, and a three-legged poodle's bladder.

Guards! Guards!

by Terry Pratchett  (2001-07-31)
average customer review:  4.7 out of 5 stars  (114)

Here there be dragons...and the denizens of Ankh-Morpork wish one huge firebreather would return from whence it came. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of draco nobilis has appeared in Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all...).

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

by  (2005-05-31)
Back Bay Books  ( minutes)
average customer review:  3.9 out of 5 stars  (346)

Critics agree that Corduroy and Denim marks Sedaris’s transition from a humorist and essayist into a full-fledged memoirist. The volume returns to the dysfunctional childhood and adulthood tribulations that made Naked and Me Talk Pretty One Day bestsellers, and contains the same snarky wit, humor, and touch of malice.

Reaper Man

by Terry Pratchett  (2002-07-30)
average customer review:  4.6 out of 5 stars  (116)

They say there are only two things you can count on ... But that was before DEATH started pondering the existential. Of course, the last thing anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes and a well-earned gold watch. Now DEATH is having the time of his life, finding greener pastures where he can put his scythe to a whole new use.

Fish! Tales

by Stephen C. Lundin, John Christensen, Harry Paul, Phillip Strand  (2002-04-10)
average customer review:  3.6 out of 5 stars  (31)

This is the sequel to Fish! (2000)--four life lessons learned by observing workers at Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market. And although that book inspired some awful puns, this follow-up book not only captures Fish!'s philosophical essences--play, be there, make their day, and choose your attitude--but also showcases four examples of success, from a well-regarded hospital in Missouri to a Rochester, New York, car dealership.
