Customer Review:
Had thought I would like to read this book, but once I read the premise reconsidered. Realized she wanted neither a child nor her husband...divorced and transformed into a hedonist. GROTESQUE! Spiritual? Baloney. Serve in a soup kitchen. Life isn't all about self. A little less navel gazing, PLEASE! | 3.5 / 5.0

from Penguin Books Ltd
Customer Review:
The book deserves attention, not necessarily for the qualities of the writer, but for introducing a biased opinion in the world that was supposed to pertain only to "un-opinionated" academics. Worth reading if you have an open mind, no matter of the direction chosen in career and life. It gives... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
As a big fan of the show, I would often reference the "Bro Code" quotes from the show and said it would be very cool if they actually did have a written log of said rules and bro-etiquette. I was very happy when I came across this copy while at work and immediately made the purchase, It is very fun... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Pocket
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
One problem with Kindle and ebooks is that so many unqualified people can create them. This Kindle edition is full of typos. This book is in the public domain so it has been worked over many times. We need to know the source that was used to copy the work. It is obviously different from other... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

GTD is a great book. I've read it cover to cover. Now, I'm re-reading it slower and implementing many of David Allen's tips. I highly recommend the book for anyone struggling to keep up with their busy lives. This book will pay off for you. Buy it, read it, do it. | 4.5 / 5.0

The New York World newspaper began publishing an almanac in 1868, "a 120-page volume with 12 pages of advertising." The newspaper suspended the almanac's publication in... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I bought this book and 3 dvd combination hoping that it would be completely thorough. Unfortunately, after using it for less than an hour, I've already found many months that are missing (check 1978). Worse, I've found that certain months are mis-indexed. August 1977 actually pulls up December 1977.... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
