I have added this section to my site for a few reasons. First, I can let you know what I have been reading and secondly, what my review or "take" is on that book. Thirdly, if you decide you would like to read the book for yourself, you can purchase it right now from this page thanks to my association with Amazon.com. I personally purchase most of my books from Amazon and have never been disappointed with their service. Purchasing a book from my site will help me generate a little bit of income and will help my site remain open.
ANY book you order from them will count toward sales on my site as long as you follow a link from any of these pages to Amazon. Also, they have a search engine that will allow you to find any book they carry right here on my site, and have the sales counted on my account.
Thank you for your interest in my Library :)

Hollywood Remains to Be Seen: A Guide to the Movie Stars' Final Homes by Mark J. Masek Although I cannot claim to be a "grave hound" as Mr. Masek is, I have been an avid reader of the obituaries of my local newspaper since I was a very small child. I suppose many of us are interested in the deceased.. not simply the average "normal" human, but the mega interesting folk, the famous! California man, Mark J. Masek has blessed us with Hollywood Remains To Be Seen. It is THE guide book to use. Inside it's cover, you will find all the details of the final resting place of your favorite deceased star. I had a wonderful time reading this book and I hope you will too. Thank you Mark for sending it my way and yes, I did RIP (read in peace). :) |

In the Spirit of Happiness by The Monks of New Skete Currently reading, but this is what Amazon has to say: The wise and cheerful monks of New Skete (How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend) believe that our spirits are meant to be happy. So within these pages, the popular monks of Cambridge, NY, offer useful suggestions for mastering the elusive art of happiness. And while this might sound like a book written by jolly Friar Tucks, it is in fact an intelligent, informed discussion on the soothing power of prayer, mercy, compassion, and devotion. It also opens the doors to the private life of monastic living--helping readers to see that even nuns and monks experience rapture as well as doubt and despair. In most of their chapters, the monks speak to the principles of spiritual happiness, such as "The Discipline of Change," "Practice Sacred Reading," and "River of Mercy." Interspersed with these lively and useful chapters, the monks have inserted seven "Interludes" in which they speak about monastic living. The result is a thoroughly satisfying package, filled with advice, reflection, warm personal anecdotes, and a delicious taste of what it means to live the contemplative life. --Gail Hudson
