Oprah's Book Club Is OK, But Jankp's Book Club Is Better!
Mar 03 '03 (Updated Sep 14 '04)
The Bottom Line I answered the last question suggested by Epinions of what other list I'd recommend.
Oprah's Book Club may have some good selections, of classics I believe, but it's probably not as varied, large or helpfully reviewed as mine are, so I will offer you a list of books I have been fascinated by or at least moved to review through the last three years. I've categorized them into spirituality, self-help, health, writing, nonfiction, adult and young adult fiction, and children fiction, leaving off several very early reviews that need to be updated with more information so that all you will read will be very helpful to you.
I'm not good with html and hope this isn't too amateurish looking, though it took seven hours that included updating reviews. I will mention in particular redlass' book I reviewed, White Papers On Club Management (rating the same, Bridgette!). If I can figure html out, I'll update this.
My interests have been pretty extensive so anybody at all should find something or many books here to interest them that they can refer to for a while. I'll add to the list as I post new and updated reviews.
