| 1. |  | Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
from Scribner
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
Steve Martin is a genius. No question. He was extremely funny for a long time, and his post-comedy career has revealed him to be an artist capable both of graceful and inspired work (think Leap of Faith and L.A. Story) and some truly bottom-rate fare. Here, he tries but doesn't connect with a new... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Tuesdays with Morrie
from Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Price: $7.50
Customer Review:
I thought it was a wonderful story of a pupil and his mentor. I suppose we would all want to talk to our former mentors and this book brings us there. We all must feel to a certain extent that there is something missing in our lives as this pupil did. I found a great book that fills that gap... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is a great book even if you don't think you are a Tori Spelling fan. She is witty, girly, slap in the face honest and just plain likeable. This book was so addicting that I could hardly put it down.....She is very open with many issues in this book and it is great to hear this type of candid... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Oberon Books
Price: $18.95
Customer Review:
Needless to say, those around me weren't too happy with me the day I read the oh-so-genius "The Master and Margarita". I'm trying to remember the last time a book influenced me this much and made me realize its genius halfway through and laugh hysterically throughout appreciatively. It was probably... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Theatre Communications Group
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
Unconditionally, the character, personality, and mind-set of Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) in John Patrick Shanley's play, "Doubt" is directly mirrored to that of Nurse Ratchet in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
It is a well known common knowledge that it is, not only... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Dramatists Play Service Inc
Price: $7.50
Customer Review:
Yeah, they make you read this stuff in high school in a country where most kids find it challenging to read the back of a box of Cap'n Crunch. And because it's forced reading, the novel itself becomes as ossified as one of those dismembered appendages found in Eastern European reliquaries. But if... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I personally (for the most part) enjoyed reading this memoir. While I, too, was expecting more than what it had to offer (some more personal insights rather than marketing Jenny Craig would have been nice), I found it hard to put down and felt as though I know who she is (to some degree).
