101 Reasons Why I'm a Vegetarian by Pamela Rice.
Capsule review (paraphrasing Linus from "A Charlie Brown Christmas"): Those are good reasons. Eating meat is not only too commercial, it is too dangerous.
You can find a longer review here.

The Explosive Child by Ross Green
A great new look at how to work with a child who is inflexible and seems to anger easily.
It has helped a great deal….

The Ancient Mines of Kitchi-Gummi by Roger Jewell
Interesting theories about the ancient copper mines and the cultures of Lake Superior area. Why did they mine all that copper and where did it go? Did it fuel the Bronze Age of Europe?

Chris–
This is an excellent book! Great suggestion!

I enjoyed Digital Fortress (thanks, freemedia23) so went on to Angels & Demons. Seems like it’s going to live up to Dan Brown’s standard.

The Journey of Socrates by Dan Millman. I read it in two days up north, sitting on a dock. In a chair. It was a perfect blend of zen, and judaica.

sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs by chuck klosterman
reminded me why i did not like it the first time

Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Same guy who wrote Emotional Intelligence. A quote,”…self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion.”
Bill // October 1, 2006 at 9:14 pm |
Hmmm…pretty much what the Buddha said. Some things never change.
Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing!

The Great Transformation: The Beginnings of Our Religious Traditions, by Karen Hughes. A sweeping look at the period in history that brought us the Old Testament prophets, the Greek Philosophers, Confuscious and Loa Tzu and the Buddha. A bit overwhelming, but very interesting.
What Jesus Meant, by Garry Wills. Often times when people quote the Bible to me, I wonder how come we grew up reading such a different version. Apparently Garry and I read the same version, but he still sees it much more interestingly than I ever could.
Appreciate Your Life: the Essence of Zen Practice by Taizan Maezumi Roshi. As with many eastern tracts this short book is deceptively simple, but would take the rest of my life to understand. Your mileage may vary, of course.

The Davinci code…I was on 4 airplanes. It just flowed. Nice story telling, tough for Catholics

When I am done with it you can read this.

How to Make Love like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson.
A really well written book. A great memoir, reflecting some honest to god self awareness.
I read its 600 pages in 24 hours.

Hard Right
It is about the rise of Jesse Helms. Interesting but flawed. Dry and not recommended

Living Buddha, Living Christ
By Tich Nhat Hahn
Actually not as good as I hoped, but if you want to see how Christianity looks through a Buddhist lens, this is a good place to start. Frankly, it makes more sense to me this way.

Traveling Light by Max Lucado
“Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended To Bear: The Promise Of The Psalm 23.” Highly recommend the book!

I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris. 304 pages. I read up to page 263 in one 2-hour session. Yes, there are a lot of pictures (pictures of Amy, pictures of her apartment, pictures of completed recipes). It is a seriously funny (and real) book on hospitality. Not exactly politically correct. Overall, a welcome addition to my cookbook, crafting and “Talent Family” collection.

Woodlot and Ballot Box: Marathon County In The Twentieth Century- Howard R. Klueter and
James J. Lorence.
A great book if you want to understand the change from lumber to other industries in Marathon County, and its history in general.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
First off, if you have Father Son issues, not for you. If you have twinges of abandonment issues, not for you.
Its a great book though.

The search for the Panchen Lama: Excellent book by a British author telling the history of the reincarnated Lamas of Tibet, both the Panchen and Dalai Lamas. A great read, especially for the realists among us.
