Great book! This book gives you insight into the early years of Jim Cramer's start in the stock market. Reading this book is just like having the guy tell you his early life story over a cup of coffee. I actually learned something. As fascinating as the stock market is, I DON'T have what it takes to be a hedge fund manager. Highly recommend: A+.

Great insights and advice for those of us who are reaching the milestone in our lives. Nora Ephron's life experiences remind me to look at life's ups and downs as temporary and to hold on to those things that keep me balanced. Thank you, Nora, for your candid, yet funny, book.

John Muir's account of his first summer in the Sierra was a good read. Muir does reference a lot of the plant life using their common and scientific names. Thankfully, I had taken a botany class and, thus, this added to my enjoyment of the book. Also, it did help that I had been to Yosemite Valley. Throughout this journal, Muir also include his thoughts and impressions about man's relationship to nature. It was as if I had taken the trip all over again, but with a tour guide, a guide who truly loves the beauty of the Sierra.

This book tells the story from the arrival of Spaniards and from there the tumultuous history of the settling of the Rio Grande Valley and Santa Fe. This book is filled with Indian revolts, invasions from the French and the Americans, the loss of life, and the final settling of New Mexico. It really put together a lot of the gaps I had in my knowledge of the history of the American Southwest...Excellent book.

Personal and professional incidents are documented by these letters, and there are also letters that Feynman writes in response to questions that people ask about physics.

I didn't realize how dysfunction can take a toll on the members of a family. This really opened my eyes in understanding why people of addiction and codependency really have struggles. A great book.

It's funny how infectious an adventure can be. This book is Ralph Leighton's retelling of both Richard Feynman and his quest to reach Tuva. As we all know, adventures are filled with many unexpected twists and turns. This story does include many of them. Note: Because this true story is told from the third person point of view, you do not get a true picture of what motivated Feynman. This does diminish the adventure a bit since no one but Feynmam can retell the delightful antics of the "curious character" but himself.

It was a very quick and easy book to read. I could finish one article, put the book down, and come back to it several days later. I chose this book because of the author. Interesting articles but not a book I would recommend. The articles were so broad in interest.

Cramer does it again! I am systematically going through his books and this one does not disappoint. After reading his first book, Confessions of a Street Addict, I wanted to learn more about the workings of Wall Street. This book specifically the dysfunctional relationships between investors, their money, and their brokers. A good read.
