Yum yum yum!
I have to admit I'm biased to chatty films. I love to hear John Cusack ramble on. Tao of Steve has great lines, and is nicely paced. I knew immediately I was going to end up buying this film. It's so yummy and poignant. ... -

Not Stephenson's hottest
Stephen Bury is the pen name that Neal Stephenson uses occasionally, and I can see why. Compared to Snow Crash this book was dry and dull. It seemed like a practice exercise to Cryptonomicon. Compared to most books out there though Cobweb was pretty good. Predictable parts, twist parts, terrific characterization and dialogue and Stephenson's classic wit. Read it just to complete your collection and it won't be a wasted weekend. (The book starts slow as usual and chapter skips plot as usual, and then picks up and is hard to put down.) ... -

You HAVE to have this album
If you have children, want children, or know how to spell the word children, get this album! Everyone should hear these empowering songs and skits. The amazing number of famous names involved with this project will thrill adults. Kids will love knowing that they're normal for being who they are. And you'll all be singing the tunes throughout the day. ... -

Terrific for kids and adults!
This is a mega-super-fun album with upbeat songs. If you grew up with 'Free To Be You And Me' you'll appreciate the lack of sexist commerical junk. The songs get kids thinking and grown-ups dancing. 'Baby's Got The Car Keys' was featured on NPR's Car Talk. ... -

classic
I used to state "never read a Heinlein novel" when asked for an embarrassing fact about myself. I remedied that
with this reading. It took some time to get used to the printed accents. Some authors overdo this, but it worked
here, as the Russian background of the people played greatly into their politics.
Aside from a slight let-down of an ending and extreme sexism it was an involving and thought provoking read. ...

Bravisimo!
