Marie Kondo
This is by far the most useful decluttering book I have ever read. “Decluttering” may not be quite the right term. I think “divesting” would be better. Rather than buying a new set of plastic bins, adding shelves, or finding clever ways to nest one item in another, …
Susan Cox
This book was humming along, being all wonderful and and stuff. And then it ended! The nerve! Worse, it is Cox’s first and was just published (Dec. 2015). Despite these short-comings, I would highly recommend picking up The Man on the Washing Machine. Theo Bogart, looking to escape …
After years of reading other authors, I finally decided to take the plunge and write my own book. The Devil’s Advocate’s Guide to Planning Your Business Website is now available from Amazon.com in print and kindle.
Save yourself time, money and aggravation!
Do you need to build a business …

Ross Petras and Kathryn Petras
The Petras siblings have done it again. Wretched Writing is a neatly categorized compendium of the most cringe and laugh-inducing writing. The vulgarians aren’t just beating down the gates. They’re inside, comfortably ensconced and pounding out one atrocity after another. No wretched writer escapes the …
Jang Jin-sung
Jin-sung’s story of escape from North Korea is as heart-stopping as any spy thriller. Unlike a thriller, this is a true story. Raised in a family with high levels of access to benefits and income, Jin-sung is well-educated and thoroughly indoctrinated. He is perfect fit for to join …
Carolyn Hart
Hart is the current reigning queen of mystery. Her Death on Demand series has reached twenty-four titles. In addition to being a thoroughly enjoyable series, Hart uses the hook of the series being set in a book store (Death on Demand) to recommend dozens of mystery …
Mary Roberts Rinehart
The average writer, especially if he is experienced, is a humble creature, ready to wag his tail at a kind word. It is usually the dilettante who has the superiority complex.
A contemporary of Agatha Christie, Rinehart was as prolific and well-known in her day as “the …
Michael Galinsky
Had I been shown this photo collection at the time of its taking I would have scoffed, even though I’d barely have been in my teens. Compositionally, these are some pretty lousy photos – blurry, too dark and often oddly cropped. But the content is pure 80s …
Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner
The third in their wildly popular Freakonimics series, Dubner and Levitt once again turn conventional wisdom on its ear. If you listen regularly to their free and awesome Podcasts, much of the content will be familiar. Unlike their previous books, which seek to disprove …
Kent Kiehl, Ph.D.
Kiehl’s strikes an excellent balance in his book on psychopath research. Packed with stories of his encounters with the psychopaths he studied in prisons and hospitals, he also explains the science and reasoning in his research. His findings are incredible. Kiehl is clearly fascinated and dedicated …
Richard Renaldi
Despite being packed cheek-to-jowel in many cities, most Westerns have a strong aversion to being touched by strangers. Renaldi’s book captures numerous “couples” touching one another. All are strangers, having met just a moment before. The facial expressions and body language vary differently in every one. Some images …
Molly Oldfield
In many ways, this is an excellent and intriguing book. Oldfield managed to gain access to sixty museums and was allowed to view objects never seen by the public. Each entry covers one of these objects. They range from the sad – Anne Frank’s friendship book, and sketches …

David Bayles & Ted Orland
This is the book that should be given to every freshman art major, to anyone who wants to start making art but can’t seem to get started and to every artist who is stuck. While it may seem deceptively short, the content packs a wallop. …
Jacek Yerka
Jacek Yerka’s fantastic, surrealistic paintings are primarily inspired by his youth in communist-era Poland. The sooty cities, medieval walled towns and cathedrals of his childhood are combined into subterranean views, forests and floating in trees. The works are intricate, detailed and with the lovely colors of the old …
