| 1. |  | Skinny Bitch: A No-Nonsense, Tough-Love Guide for Savvy Girls Who Want to Stop Eating Crap and Start Looking Fabulous
from Tantor Media
Price: $31.49
Customer Review:
I was on board with this book (in audio form) initially, then they got into meat, and were really zealots about it! I have nothing against Vegan folks, to each their own, but this book was disguised as a funny get real book about weight loss, that turned into some kind of podium for why we must all... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
My sister gave me this book for Christmas, saying it was one of the best books she had read in some time. I was fascinated by her description, and started the book the next day. I finished it the next morning. I found it eminently readable and fascinating. I was a history major in college, and had... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It
from Collins Business
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
This book is a difficult read. The author has to "imagine" what it was like back in the day when this lady lived. She references that many times because she (or anyone) does not have any facts regarding the exact life of this subject in her early years. This book is only for people who are really,... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Always heard about the man and the book but it was difficult trying to follow and understand. Gave up three quarters of the way through. Did learn a little something though. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Blackstone Audio Inc.
Price: $23.66
Customer Review:
Erudite, yet accessible; dead serious, but delivers its dire warnings with a good dose of wit and humor. This is one of the most important books of recent days, and it's one we'll take off our shelves to reread in ten years and wonder how we all could have been so blind to what was going on around... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This is an excellent follow on to "An Army at Dawn". These books should be required reading in all high school history classes.

This astonishing and very moving book is based on Elie Wiesel's youth in concentration camps during WW2. It begins with his childhood in Hungary, then his family's incarceration in a Jewish ghetto, then to Auschwitz (where he last sees his mother and sister) and later to Buchenwald. "Night" is made... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Yale University Press
Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
Along with Mithen's After The Ice, this is the most enjoyable book on European prehistory that I have read. Filled with colorful maps and photos that follow along with the text descriptions, written elegantly and with enough detail to not seem too "dumbed-down" for the layman. If every professor or... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Band Of Brothers
from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $24.96
Customer Review:
In this book, Ambrose crafts a narrative out of recollected war stories of a company of American paratroopers. It's surprisingly unemotional for a war story, largely because the participants aren't characterized very well. The company commander, Dick Winters, and a few others come alive in... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
