This is the only children's book that I ever cried from reading. That said it was a bit heavy handed. Nevertheless it's a good story.

The first few issues are choppy and not planned very well. After a while the creators chose a story arc and stuck to it and things improve. Still, there's no way this could be entertaining without seeing the television show.

Zen To Done is a great book. It takes elements of [b:Getting Things Done 1633 Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity David Allen http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1158299716s/1633.jpg 5759] and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People as well as some others and combines them. Moreover it's a terrific book for those who have read one of those books and thinks that it was a bit much for daily use. I walked away from this book trying to plan less stuff, focusing on doing just a few tasks well. When I do remember to use this approach I am happy.

I blew through this in about three hours... I'm not sure I liked it as much as volume one. The story didn't have as many twists and turns as volume one, yet I was eager to find out what happens next. It's like The Empire Strikes Back.

I'm not a King fan but picked up the book after some bits were featured on the 37signals blog [http://37signals.com/svn/]. It's a funny book about his childhood, how he became a writer, and the accident he was in that almost killed him. Strunk & White have laid out the basics of being a good writer; King retells what it was like to fail and achieve.

Also, there's a lot of fart jokes.

This book is essential to understanding the basics of the Thoth Tarot. The LWB that comes with the deck is incredibly obtuse and short when compared to the amount of sheer data that each card includes. It's a obtuse book as well... part of the reason is that it's old and uses terms to describe things that we use other terms for nowadays.

Alan Moore's graphic novel [b:Absolute Promethea 6272009 Absolute Promethea Alan Moore http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266608682s/6272009.jpg 6455354]. A huge chunk of the story involves a deep exploration of the Tree of Life through the symbolism of the Thoth Tarot and Crowley.

I didn't really connect to this deck (and accompanying book) when I acquired it but always meant to come back to it. I tried it out a few weeks ago and liked it, but focused on a more familiar deck instead.

This isn't the first tarot book I read when I picked it up in the summer of 2001. I had already read [b:The Book of Thoth 243001 The Book of Thoth A Short Essay on the Tarot of the Egyptians (Equinox III 5) Aleister Crowley http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173059843s/243001.jpg 836251] and a few others. I like how it included images from multiple tarot decks and compared them. I found the basic info on Astrology and the Kabbalah to be informative as well. This is still my go to book for referencing basic Tarot information, such as comparisons of the suits and numbers.

Five stars for no other reason besides it's the first RPG book I ever purchased. The TMNT aspects stretched a bit thin in parts (eg Mutant Humans) but it did include a cross–over of Cerebus and some interesting thoughts on the nature of time and space.

My Great Uncle and Great Aunt wrote this book. They gave me the teacher's edition along with the regular one. My 4th grade teacher slyly asked me to bring it in, and I never saw it again.

It didn't even occur to me to cheat with it, I was actually fascinated with the materials teachers have to teach with.

My grandparents gave me this book when I was a kid. It's pretty much the story of my life.

Below The Root was one of my favorite C64 games as a kid. I really need to read this book.

The one thing that confused me about this module: the map on the inside of the cover is not labeled. The first time I read through it I assumed the map was for The Keep as the Keep is outlined first. It wasn't until I came to the page with a map of the Keep - confusingly placed in the Caves of Chaos section - that I realized I had been using the wrong map as reference.

I could have missed it but asterisks are always left unresolved. I would come across one and look for the note it referred to but there never was one.

I enjoyed this but the story felt rushed throughout.

I've owned this book since... 1988? Something like that. I was 9 or 10 at the time. I wanted to love origami but found it impossible to get my head around. A week or so I picked this book back up, curious if it was me or the book. It's the book. I downloaded an app for the iPhone which isn't terribly good, but contained some simple designs. The app easily did what this book never did in over 20 years.

A great book for toddlers, with a short, engaging story that doesn't preach.

I read this in my Illustrating Children's Books class. It's mixed media images set with poems about the sun, the planets, and other astral bodies in the Milky Way. I enjoyed how the poetry casually described these places from an informed standpoint without being too technical.

Lovely, poetic.

This book gave me a lot of ideas not for illustration, but custom board game bits.
