1.Born to RunBorn to Run
from Knopf

Customer Review:
This was an excellent book, full of tales of both great humor and profound stories. I finished it in about three days - once you get sucked in, it's tough to get back out. If you are a runner, it will inspire you to keep running, if you're not a runner, it might just inspire you to start.

2.Open: An Autobiography (Vintage)Open: An Autobiography (Vintage)
from Vintage

Customer Review:
From everything I could tell, this was probably the most honest and least self-aggrandizing exercise in autobiography I've ever encountered. The more lurid revelations and surprises inside Open are surely well-known by now, so I'll skip mention of them and just say that what is unexpectedly... more info

3.Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat TillmanWhere Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman
from Anchor

Customer Review:
Where Men Win Glory is another well written narrative by Krakauer about real events in our history. The story of Pat Tillman is not a feel good story but a story of how our government used Pat Tillman and others like Jessica Lynch to generate popular support for the war in Iraq. From the president... more info

5.Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of AdversityComing Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity
from Tyndale House Publishers

Customer Review:
I asked my wife to get this book for me as I am a die-hard Saints and Drew Brees fan. In an effort to be totally honest, I wasn't expecting a whole lot; for a couple of reasons.
First reason, Drew is only 31 years old. I'll admit that I thought to myself, "heck, I've got underwear approaching... more info

from Anchor

Customer Review:
It is a bit sad that this exceptionally good story is hampered by the bad formatting.
I really looked forward to re-read this book on my Kindle - in fact I decided that this book should be the first thing I read on my new K3.
The publisher has done a very bad job when converting the... more info

8.Coming of Age in MississippiComing of Age in Mississippi
from Dell

Customer Review:
This book will really suck you in. It's hard for people who aren't from the South to understand the family dynamics, the method of speak, the rural center of it all, etc. But the time period covered while (possibly) somewhat far-removed from today's standards of living is what drives the story... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company

Customer Review:
I don't like football. I would not see the movie. I was surprised when Sandra Bullock got an award for the movie based on this book. Then I read the book. I LOVE THIS BOOK. The most important part is that the main character accepts Jesus into his heart!

from Spiegel & Grau

Customer Review:
I had a horrible experience with this seller. They didn't get my book to me on time, and when I talked to them about it, they just said they'll let me know when they find it. They didn't get back to me so I filed a claim. I better get a refund. I would give this seller a -5 stars if I could.
