I read straight through over about two weeks -- there's too much to think about to read it in one or two sittings -- and I underlined passages that seemed particularly meaningful or insightful. Several times I cried.
Now I'll go over the underlined parts and think about them. And then I'll read the book again, but slowly. Each chapter starts with a poem written by somebody like "us." Poetry so perfectly puts emotions into words and I found pieces of myself and my feelings over and over again.
I found out why some things have worked so well for me, things that I did intuitively. Others have done similar things. I've made some mistakes. Others have made the same mistakes. I'm uniquely myself, but so much like everyone else.
I'm very grateful to Mr. Levy. I'm very grateful that this book was waiting for me. I'm very grateful that I found it. And it's a keeper.

Attention all parents burned out by reading The Pokey Little Puppy over and over again.
Attention cynics whose primary memory of Winnie-the-Pooh is the Dorothy Parker quote (from her "Constant Reader" column in the New Yorker) "Tontant Weader frowed-up".
This book is a treasure for all who hear it. There is gentleness and not a little wit in these stories. Contray to the book description above, the book is read by the late Charles Kuralt. His inflection adds much to the story. One senses that he is amused; but he is never condesending. Now I will always prefer Kuralt's version to my own bedtime efforts with my children. Charles Kuralt must have loved Winne-the-Pooh mightily. How lucky we are that he left this delightful gift behind.

Until Next Time is a wicked book! I loved it! Linda Alexander bases her story on the age-old battle between good and evil. She interweaves several subplots into the primary plot to keep the reader enmeshed in the story and feeling a tight level of tension throughout the book.
There is an "Author's Acknowledgement" at the beginning of the book that states her purpose in writing this book as: "... to try and make believers of those who just can't seem to accept the truth of good versus evil. Both are just at the tips of our fingertips." She goes own to present a passage that will stand your hair on end. Before you even begin the actual story, you are already thinking of all the evil things you have ever witnessed or heard about. This is an extremely strong author's foreword and is highly effective in setting the mood for the book. It demonstrates Alexander's straight forward, in-your-face style and power in writing.
The main character is Perry Conners, a highly successful businessman with an eye on the Senate seat for the next term. He is forty-five years old, in perfect health, well-built, good looking, down-to-earth, and convinced that he is having a breakdown. He cannot get any rest and he is declining quickly. He has lost all interest in sex and does not understand why. His searches for answers result in medical and psychological testing that only confirms that there is nothing wrong.
Perry's wife, Mollie, has left, even though she still loves and desires him, and is filing for divorce. She manipulates the legal system to get a female judge, Annette Black, who is bitterly vengeful because Perry turned down her advances. Together they plot to ruin him, with the assistance of Mollie's father, a well-respected judge that will readily take up for his only child, even though he knows she is wrong.
The only three persons Perry can turn to are a new acquaintance, Michaele Vincente, a psychiatrist; his sister, Senator Barbara Satterly; and his personal assistant, Lillia. Unfortunately, Lillia has her own agenda for revenge, acquisition of Perry's fortune, and the disposal of Perry once her plan is completed. She will utilize any weapon and go to any length to see her scheme through. She is evil personified.
Perry's trust for this woman combines with his distraction by the other elements in his life to leave him wide open and vulnerable to this evil woman. Will she achieve her goals? Will he learn the truth before it is too late?
Linda Alexander has skillfully created a superb story that captivates the reader's attention and takes them on a trip through the mind of the most evil creature on this planet. She feeds you just enough information to keep you turning pages to learn more. The ending provides a satisfactory closure, while leaving an opportunity for a sequel, which I do hope to see. This is one story that is simply too marvelous to end here! Get a copy and dive into the horrors of evil today. You will never look at your neighbor the same way again!
Linda Alexander is the author of two nonfiction books, The Unpromised Land and Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard X. She has written for several magazines and has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Sally Jesse Raphael Show.

The authors did a great job in going straight to the points without omiting vital information.
This is the book for those who find "Microeconomic analysis" isn't self-contained and find "Microeconomic theory" too complex.

Thom has done a superb job of showcasing George Rogers Clark in this book. It's an outstanding read and could well set the reader on an adventure for more historical fiction from this fine author. Be sure to check out 'From Sea to Shining Sea' as well.
