    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values by Robert M Pirsig
    SQ, August 11, 2012
    Interesting perspective. A decent read to get one thinking about values.

    Green's books are quick and easy yet have a capturing mystery/adventure. I like her work.

    Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories by Kathy Lashier
    SQ, October 03, 2011
    Great little book. Lots and lots of questions that stir memories. My mother-in-law (almost 90) is bed-ridden and I used many of the questions to stimulate her thinking as well as record vignettes for her personal history. We didn't have a lot to talk about, were rehashing the same things, same worries and complaints, same stories, until I got the book. With the questions, she's been prompted to share many things that we never knew about her childhood. She's enjoyed the little walks down memory lane. The evening questions gave her something to look forward to and something positive to reflect on. We've laughed and shed tears over her wonderful memories--that she may not have ever thought to share had I not come across this book.

    Complete Idiots Guide To Raising Chickens by Jerome D. Belanger
    SQ, September 30, 2011
    Good place to start reading about raising your own chickens at home. So much to know; the book covers a lot! Obviously there's a lot more reading that must be done in order to be successful at this endeavor.

    Complete Idiots Guide To Knitting & Crocheting by Barbara Breiter
    SQ, September 29, 2011
    Some interesting ideas of things to make, but for the real beginner...It just doesn't work (at least the knitting portion). I tried (and I'm not an idiot or uncoordinated) but trying to learn how to knit from just this book was a joke. Stuck the needles back in the ball of yarn and it is now a fireplace decoration!

    I Already Know I Love You by Billy Crystal
    SQ, September 28, 2011

    Complete Idiots Guide to Understanding Mormonism by Drew Williams
    SQ, September 23, 2011
    With 2 Mormons making a bid for the President of the United States...Mormonism needs to be better understood by voters. This book presents a basic look at the religion: its beliefs and its foundation. A fair approach to understanding the religion (instead of all the negativism and inaccuracies so many "anti-Mormon" reporters and books are publishing).

    Net Force Hidden Agendas by Tom Clancy
    SQ, September 21, 2011
    Evidently I ended up jumping into the middle of a series without realizing it. Discovered there are 3 books before and 6 books after Hidden Agendas. The books have a lot of characters and detail to follow, have to flip back and forth some. I passed the first few in the series to my husband and he really likes them, ended up getting all the rest. My son read them and enjoyed them too... Just not my cup of tea.

    Now Write Nonfiction by Sherry Ellis
    SQ, September 19, 2011
    Teaching memoir writing, I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and approaches to writing. This book forms a nice collection of ideas but spreads its content over too large an area.

    Heat Rises by Richard Castle
    SQ, September 18, 2011
    These books by "Richard Castle" are just fun! If you like the TV show, the books just take things one step further.

    Hip, Hip, Hooray! for Annie McRae by Brad Wilcox
    SQ, September 17, 2011
    I took a writing class from this author and he is fun and creative. Annie McRae is a cute children's book that teaches the lesson of caring for yourself and others. Interesting illustrations (including a little game of finding horseshoes) and I love the turquoise cowboy boots Annie wears!

    My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother by Patricia Polacco
    SQ, September 15, 2011
    Fun stuff for children (and the adults who get to read to them)! We have a "rotten redheaded older brother" in this family, so the book was perfect.

    First Love & Forever A Novel by Anita Stansfield
    SQ, September 14, 2011
    This book, together with the rest of this series, is easy reading yet examines some serious life problems (cancer, abuse, spirituality, family dynamics, depression, suicide, rape, poverty/wealth...). Don't be misled by the titles, Stansfield isn't writing just sweet little romance novels, though romance is involved. The books and characters tie together well as different stories are developed and social issues are discussed. The writing is uplifting, clean, and enjoyable to read.

    How to Write Your Personal or Family History: (If You Don't Do It, Who Will?) by Katie Wiebe
    SQ, September 12, 2011
    Encouraging. Offers some good ideas for the "everyday" person to be a "writer" of their own stories.

    Legacy A Step By Step Guide to Writing Personal History by Linda Spence
    SQ, September 10, 2011
    Good guide to writing your own history. The author provides several personal examples, which can be tedious, but she also provides lists and motivation.

    Eye of the World Wheel of Time 01 by Robert Jordan
    SQ, September 09, 2011
    I have been buying books from the Wheel of Time series for my son for years...not until recently did I pick up one to read. Jordan is a great storyteller and builds interesting characters...All the unusual names and places take a concentrated effort to remember which distracts some from the pleasure of reading, but overall they are interesting.

    Naked Heat by Richard Castle
    SQ, September 08, 2011
    Not literature...just fun! If you like the TV show Castle, you'll love Naked Heat. Wry humor, intriguing storyline, great characters! Read it aloud on a cross-country road trip--loved it!

    Lincolns Daughter by Tony Wolk
    SQ, September 07, 2011
    Tony Wolk was a writing and literature professor at PSU. This book and the 2 others in the same series were created during his tenure there. Tony has an interesting way of telling a story: a lot of feeling, a little sci-fi, researched background to support the story... It all works, and works well. These are fascinating books.
