I think Slime Time is a cartoon. Its worth1 point and it's a very good book. Two boys win a game show called SLIME TIME His skateboard it got bad over night. The game was on TV. The sisters did not win the game. It's a silly book so if you like a silly book here's the one for you. Getting dunked in chocolate sauce and spread with feathers is for the losing team . Its is a wacky fun filled book.

I read this book in Elementary School and still remember how good it was! It is written very well and deals with a unique subject, two friends and a "Nickelodeon-type" game show. A toy line called "Dino-Tots" (or something like that) is also featured in this book, with a reoccurring jingle that I'm sure you'll memorize before the end of the book. I wish that this book would go back in print so that I could buy a copy of my own. I also hope that there will be a sequel in the future!

A few months ago, I hosted Dr. Barry Simon, co-author of "Break The Weight Loss Barrier" in my Power Surge group on America Online. Simon's book is one of the most straightforward, readable, understandable books on the subject of weight loss and the myriad ways in which we sabotage ourselves from getting in shape.

One of the audience said, "I found Dr. Simon's philosophy to be very motivating as I know I need to get off my "duff", quit making excuses for myself, and get some exercise!"

I agree. His suggestions regarding "inner conversations" we have with ourselves was very enlightening -- the ways in which we sabotage ourselves again and again in order to avoid succeeding. We all have emotional baggage we carry around and try to adjust in whatever way we can.

If you're interested not simply in losing weight, getting back into shape, but understanding the many roadblocks you create in order to avoid doing so, you'll benefit greatly from Dr. Barry Simon and Dr. Jim Meschino's "Break The Weight Loss Barrier." In fact, I utilized their suggestions and recently shed 20 pounds of unwanted weight -- with no excuses thanks to this excellent book!

Absolutely amazing artwork. Some great altenative record designs for some of the bands they have done artwork for (including Blur, Jesus Jones, Mansun, Siouxsie & The Banshees...)
Highly recommended!

I have been a big fan of the movie, and did not discover until yesterday that this book was published. Sprinkled with fun anecdotes from the Kramer character, this has many wonderful recipes for one to enjoy.

A real side-splitting joke book.I had 2 copies and took one with me recently on a fishing trip.The guys laughed their a____ off! This is a real GUY book!

The Mall, by Sara King is a compelling read if there ever was one! I have read it numerous times, and it never ceases to captivate me. Murder, drugs, and larceny make this book a definite quick read!

Every year right before Opening Day I watch the Ken Burns documentary "Baseball," which is why it is clear to me that "Shadow Ball: The History of the Negro Leagues" is not simply a watered down version on what appears in the documentary series or its companion volume. This book, authored by Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns with Jim O'Connor, has as much new information about its subject as it has borrowed from the PBS television documentary on which it is based. This means you will find everything you remember from "Baseball," such as the stories about Moses Fleetwood Walker and Josh Gibson, along with much more. "Shadow Ball" has seven chapters: (1) A Gentleman's Agreement looks at how blacks were kept out of the major and minor leagues; (2) Barnstorming tells how black baseball teams that traveled around the country looking for games; (3) Two Innings Ahead of Everyone Else covers how Rube Foster created the Negro Leagues; (4) The Guy People Wanted to See tells about Satchel Paige and the other big draws of the Negro Leagues, such as Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard; (5) The Great Experiment, of course, is the story of Jackie Robinson breaking the color line in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers; (6) The Oldest Rookie in the Game returns the focus to Satchel Paige, as well as other early black stars in the Major Leagues; and (7) The Death Knell for Out Baseball contrasts the success of black players like Hank Aaron in the Majors with the quick demise of the Negro Leagues once the racial barrier was gone.

Illustrated with dozens of photographs, several of which are captioned with memorable quotations, "Shadow Ball" is a nice addition to your collection of baseball books, whether as an introduction to the history of black baseball in America or as a chance to learn more about the topic. This is one of a series of three volumes based on the "Baseball Documentary," the others being "25 Great Moments" and "Who Invented the Game?" (the latter is grossly misnamed since it is essentially a history of baseball and pretty much a condensed version of the documentary).

Alexander has taken a segment of Theodore Roosevelt's life and done wonders with it. As a police commissioner of New York City, Roosevelt was a mover and shaker and not too popular in some quarters of city government. The author takes this period of TR's life and builds a great tale of 19th century crime.

In the first chapter you get a good taste of what it was like to be a child in TR's household as TR is having an interview with his son's teacher. The latter is trying to explain that it might help TR's son if dad was a little less invovled with the details of his homework assignment. TR's "you're taking all the fun out of it" sums up his eternal quest to be a boy again. This seems to sum up TR quite nicely - the adult striving to recapture the best moments of his youth. Maybe this applies to all of us?

You also meet the towering figures in the construction of early US submarines, John Holland and Simon Lake. Lake's submarine is stolen so we see a bit of industrial espionage 19th century style as well as plain old fashion murder.

You will meet various and sundry of the extended Roosevelt family of several generations. Franklin D. makes and appearence.

This is a good detective novel to sit down with. It flows well and informs as well as entertains, but you don't really catch on to the history lessons being delivered. I came to this book more with an interest in TR than in the detective mystery, but I think the author does a fine job of inserting TR into a mystery and doing it well. I highly recommend this book to any mystery buff, without reservation.

The biography tells people about the heroic aspects of Tom Bradley. I am very happy the authors published this book. It is a tribute to the heroic efforts of this afro ameircan hero.

As recently as 10 years ago, Moe's Norman's very existence was considered apocryphal. A few American golf pros, Paul Azinger and Lee Trevino come to mind, told stories about an eccentric Canadian with a strange swing so accurate he could stand on a driving range and hit the 250 yard sign repeatedly with his driver. Or they told of the time he hit three balls off the tee that were later found huddled together like mushrooms in the middle of the fairway. Then there's the time that, upon hearing someone in the gallery say he was a poor putter, he proceeded to hit a hole-in-one, boasting "I guess I won't be putting today." They said he was so good that if a hole called for a 3-wood and an 8- iron, he'd play it 8-iron/3-wood just to keep it interesting. The stories always held the not-so- subtle claim that if Norman had played the US tour, no one would have ever heard of Jack Nicklaus.

But nobody had seen him recently. He was a ghost. Finally, in 1995, Golf Digest ran a cover story that brought Moe and his strange swing back to life. By that time he had become the poster boy for a new golf movement called Natural Golf, and the leaders of that company were splashing Moe's image around as much as they could. This biography soon followed.

Fortunately, readers of "The Feeling of Greatness" will discover not an advertising piece, but a balanced look at a complicated man. Because of a childhood head injury, or perhaps just because genetics occasionally breeds the strange and unusual, Moe Norman represents obsessive-compulsion applied to golf. He is described as golf's "Rain Man", a savant-like creature of habit who found solace in striking golf balls -- hundreds a day for thousands of days -- but who was so shy, he wouldn't appear at awards ceremonies. He muttered a continuous stream-of-consciousness monologue and played so quickly that he often struck his shot before his partner had pulled his tee out of the ground. He never paused over putts, but rather hit them in full stride. He was not your typical golf pro.

However, while he was very successful on the Canadian tours of the 50s and 60s, he was a flop on the US PGA tour and, in fact, was reprimanded by fellow pros for boorish behavior. The book is honest enough to make it clear that any notion of his tearing up the US tour if only given a fair chance is just false. While he is generally regarded as one of the finest ball strikers of all time, he never came to terms with the real scoring clubs in his bag - his wedge and putter. In the end, Moe Norman was most at home on the driving range, where he gives impressive demonstrations to this day.

Having lived in the North Florida town where Moe and Craig Shankland give golf clinics every Wednesday of the winter, I have watched Moe in action many times, continually to my amazement. One day, during my 1000 balls a day stint, Moe gave me a lesson I will never forget. He's wonderful. I only wish the jerks on the tour could have accepted his idiosyncracies and made him feel comfortable out there. But who wants to make someone who can beat the pants off you feel comfortable?

This is a great story of a relatively unknown personality who could not be a part of the "system". His whole life is unconventional; however, his golf is exceptional. An upolished man, Moe Norman never achieved PGA greatness in the US, but is a legend in the amateur ranks in Canada, owning 33 course records and several rounds shot in the 50's. I was fascinated by the many examples of his ball striking capabilities, like hitting over 1500 drives in one afternoon. Each one traveled over 220 yards and each was in a 30 yard wide fairway. The average golfer loves this story. A guy like you and me CAN hit the ball well! That is what we all want.
