I'm a big fan of sci-fi/fantasy comedy books, such as the MYTH books and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so I thought why not try something new? Writers Anonymous is an amazing, incredibly funny book. It takes the conventions of fantasy books and turns them around in a clever way.

The main character, Atrail, is somewhat of a Conan spoof, big burly, 'everything that could go wrong with me' did kind of guy. The rampant clichés drive the characters to distraction until they start questioning their existence. I thought this was a pretty clever part about the book, bringing in the author who is attending one of those AA like meetings for writers.

The interaction between the author and Atrail is great. Atrail really comes off as 3 dimensional character. He actually reminds of the standard Edgar Rice Burroughs character. Unassuming, modest, yet tough and strong guy. The pictures are fantastic.

I completely recommend this book to anyone in need of a little bit of fun.

"Rich in allusions to the scholarly context and well annotated, this book is recommended for graduate students." --Choice

"Drawing on an impressive array of recent theoretical writing about sociology, history, and psychoanalysis, and a wide range of hermeneutical technologies, Ash's study of Conrad's psychosical dilemmas attempts to show how Conrad as an individual responds in his writings to the historical processes and socio-psychological crises engendered by industrialism, imperialism, and the political tensions, latent and manifest, of Edwardian society...Ambitious, original and engaging." --English Literature in Transition

This book is a great guide for both new X-philes as well as seasoned vets. Great background on all X-Files characters/actors. Excellent episode synopses, which always include comments that help fill in the gaps. This is one of the only books I've seen with a comprehensive review of all 4 previous seasons in one place. I was a new fan to the X-files this season (5th) and this book helped me locate and understand key episodes that I needed to see to understand the "conspiracy" storyline. I can't wait for the book for the 5th season!!

Practical experience and basic concept of imaging equipment theory, function and repair. Lots of valuable information on installation, calibration and quality. Could be a good book for an associate degree program in biomedical or clinical technology or for someone already working in the field who would like to migrate into imaging repairs.

This is the only book in print that explains yachting customs and courtesies and should be standard reading for every yacht club member. Nowhere will you find such a complete guide on those little understood customs that are practiced in most yacht clubs. Joseph Tringali has spent a lifetime learning yachting customes and now he shares them with the rest of the world.

A must read for anyone interested in public education. Joe Batory gives the reader an insiders look about what really happens in the day-to-day life of a superintendent. Joe's love and concern for children comes alive in this book. As a member of the Upper Darby School Board who served with Joe, it is a pleasure to recommend this book. This outspoken educator took on all critics of public education to advance the cause of public education.

This is the second book from this author. It made another interesting reading. I must say this emerging prolific writer has more to offer to the reading public. It was a well-crafted suspense novel.

This is a story about a mother who desparately loves her children and does the impossible to save them. She strives to change her family bad carma. I admire her strength, her desire for better future of her kids.

I'm 12 years-old and I thought this story was very exciting. My older brother read it also, and he said it was great. It is about a fifteen-year-old boy who is eager to go to war. However, it ends up being the most horrifying life a young man could have. I would give six stars if I could. Since I can't, I'll write it down: six stars!
