From the first line (In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing) to the last (I am haunted by waters) and every sentence in between this book is full of deep significant meaning for everyone who has ever tried to help a loved one.

The best outdoor book ever written. Read it, then visit all of your favorite natural areas (or, better yet, visit the places Edward Abbey so beautifully describes), then read it again a few years later. It will be even better the second time.

Reading this, and finishing it, on Christmas Eve will be the best Christmas present you can give yourself and others.

It should have been titled '2004'. Everytime I hear a politician open his/her mouth I hear doublespeak.

Steinbeck's masterpiece. The best American novel ever written. Full of imagery and symbolism and still a great and magnificent story.

The book that made me realize how little I know about anything. Amazing and fascinating information is contained in this book.

For outdoor lovers like me, no other book captures the excitement of wilderness adventure and beauty like this one does.

In the long run, is technology really going to save us? Deep down we all know the answer. This book further convinces us and enlightens us about what to expect and how to prepare and respond.

Second in the series. Focuses on the French and Indian Wars as they impacted the Iroquois League and other Indian nations as well as both English and French settlers and soldiers. As important a war as the Revolutionary War was.

Reading Dickens is a feast, if for no other reason than to admire the beauty of his mastery of the language. The story line and the symbology in this book makes it even more enjoyable and meaningful.

When the High Lama says, 'Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership!', he could very well be talking to us about our world today even though this book was written in the 1930's. What foresight!

This pulitzer-prize winning book will make you actually feel that you lived the life of a mountain man. So good.

The mental and emotional difficulty of dealing with a child who, for better or for worse, does not follow the path his parents desperately want for him. So relevant to me as a father.

Our most precious freedom -- freedom of speech and freedom to express dissent -- is at risk in the United States like never before. Will we survive the onslaught?
