| 2. |  | A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity from Broadway Price: $17.16 Customer Review:  This was the first of Bill O'Reilly's books I have read. I really thought it was a good story, although I couldn't relate to most of the stories because I am a lot younger than the baby boomer generation. Still, I found it to be a very good read and can't wait to read the rest of Bill's work. |

"I was doing the book and the show at the same time". Wishful Drinking, is based on the one-woman show Fisher perform's based on... |

| 5. | [no image] | Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea from Simon Spotlight Entertainment Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I only bought this book because I was flying to South America and I needed to read something during my flight. It was laugh out loud funny. I couldn't put it down. Chelsea is absolutely amazing!!! I lent this book to my friends and family and they all LOVE it! Can't wait for her next book.... |

| 7. |  | My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands from Bloomsbury USA Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I was told that "Are You There, Vodka..." was hilarious, so I bought both books. I haven't as yet read that one, but after reading "Horizontal", I'm not making this book a priority. Disappointing. Also, unsettling to read about someone quite gifted living such a pathetic and skanky life. |

| 8. |  | Mrs. Astor Regrets: The Hidden Betrayals of a Family Beyond Reproach from Tantor Media Price: $24.99 Customer Review: As the old song goes, being "rich as Rockefeller" does one no good, except perhaps if one of the Rockefeller clan happens to be a personal friend....and then it can really make a difference between life and death. That's part of what happened to the doyenne of one of America's premier families,... |

| 9. |  | John Lennon: The Life from Ecco Price: $23.07 Customer Review: This is the first Lennon bio I've read (unless you want to count Shout!, but that included those 3 other guys...). Norman did a good job showing the good and bad. The man was no saint, but are any of us? Sorry, Yoko, but Norman was not "mean to John". If anything, for the first time ever, I actaully... |

| 10. |  | Pieces of My Heart: A Life from HarperEntertainment Price: $17.13 Customer Review: Of all the recently-published autobiographies of movie stars to come across this reader's desk, this is by far the dullest. Robert Wagner (for some reason calling himself Robert "J" Wagner here - I know his friends call him "RJ", but so what?), star of TV's It Takes a Thief and Hart to Hart, never... |

| 11. | [no image] | The Great Gatsby from Trafalgar Square Customer Review: Another book from AP English that surprised me. Fitzgerald makes good writing seem easy. This work both critiqued and defined the American '20s. |

| 12. |  | In Spite of Myself: A Memoir from Knopf Price: $19.77 Customer Review:  If you're a Christopher Plummer fan, then this is the book for you. Obviously. There's very little that Christopher Plummer did that isn't documented here (although it doesn't come up to date other than generally). With such a long and distinguished career it's hardly surprising that despite the... |

| 13. |  | The Girls Next Door from Simon Spotlight Entertainment Price: $19.80 Customer Review: I have not read it yet, but i did look through every page, it has alot of content, and alot on the mansion. Tons of pictures, very cool. |

| 14. |  | Hitman: Forty Years Making Music, Topping the Charts, and Winning Grammys from Pocket Price: $17.16 Customer Review:  I bought this book expecting something similar to Quincy Jones' autobiography or Fredric Dannen's "Hit Men" which has more anecdotal stuff about the music biz. There are many omissions in this book (like Foster as movie producer, etc.), seems like Foster only reveals what he wants the public to see.... |

| 15. |  | Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life from Scribner Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Steve Martin is a genius. No question. He was extremely funny for a long time, and his post-comedy career has revealed him to be an artist capable both of graceful and inspired work (think Leap of Faith and L.A. Story) and some truly bottom-rate fare. Here, he tries but doesn't connect with a new... |

| 16. |  | The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century from Blackstone Audio Inc. Price: $44.95 Customer Review: I was expecting a book that would explain more about 20th century [classical] *music*, but instead this book is mainly biography mixed with a bit of history. If you don't already have a strong background in music theory you will be lost; even if you have a strong background in pre-20th century music... |

| 17. |  | The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star from VH1 Price: $13.60 Customer Review: I found myself at Barnes & Noble today, as I do on most Sundays, just browsing. I headed over to the "music" section to see if they had any good instructional books for guitar or piano. I saw the cover for "The Heroin Diaries" and remembered a friend had mentioned it about a year ago. I picked... |

| 18. | [no image] | Pride and Prejudice (BBC Series) from BBC Pubns Customer Review: After seeing a number of adaptations, I finally decided to read all of Austen's novels. Northanger Abbey was not bad, and Sense and Sensibility is excellent. However, this is the best so far. While there is a lot of insightful comment on the custom of English society of the time,... |

| 19. |  | sTORI Telling from Simon Spotlight Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This is a great book even if you don't think you are a Tori Spelling fan. She is witty, girly, slap in the face honest and just plain likeable. This book was so addicting that I could hardly put it down.....She is very open with many issues in this book and it is great to hear this type of candid... |

| 21. |  | Big Russ and Me from Hyperion Price: $11.98 Customer Review: Item was a gift, so have not actually read, but recipient has said book is an excellent read. Book very interesting and hard to put down. Recipient has expressed interest in other books of the same nature including Tom Brokaw's "The Next Generation." |

| 22. |  | Slash from Harper Paperbacks Price: $10.85 Customer Review: The problems I had with this book. I have just finished reading it tonight. The first problem was it took up a lot of my time without me realising it. I could not put this book down. This book literally is the second book I have read from start to finish and I was absolutely mesmerised by it. If you... |

| 23. |  | Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street from Viking Adult Price: $18.45 Customer Review: There will be other books during Sesame Street's 40th anniversary year, but this is THE ONE, the only one with definitive behind-the-scenes interviews and insights as to how this global phenomenon came to be. If Sesame Street was an important part of your childhood, or if you have children watching... |

| 24. |  | Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice from William Morrow Price: $17.13 Customer Review: An interesting read that any fan of the Brady Bunch should most certainly check out. I got this book because I too, like so many others became a fan of this show due to all the repeats shown on cable networks throughout the years as well as local syndication. I don't know what it is about this silly... |

| 25. |  | Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (MP3) from Tantor Media, Inc. Price: $19.99 Customer Review: I heard a lot about this book. I thought the title really caught my eye and the content really attracted me out of curiousity. Once I started reading, I could not put it down. It really got you thinking about other subjects not talked about much and made you wonder about yourself. IT really raised... |

| 26. |  | Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: 2009 Wall Calendar from Andrews McMeel Publishing Price: $11.19 Customer Review: I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. So once I saw that the '09 calendars were out, I had to get it. But then I got it home and looked at it, there's really no Harry Potter himself in it. There's all the other characters and even side characters, but no HP. Very disappointed. But all in all it was a good... |

| 28. |  | Shakespeare: The World as Stage (Eminent Lives) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: The author has written a slim and cautionary book concerning what is factually known about William Shakespeare, including a critical look at opinions regarding various aspects of his life that have been perpetrated based on either questionable extrapolations or, worse, wishful or agenda-driven... |

| 29. |  | 1001 Movies 2004: You Must See Before You Die from Cassell Illustrated Customer Review: This book is a good one to have handy to look at movies that you may or may not know and serves to job you into picking up one that you have not watched in awhile or in fact have never seen. It is extensive (and there is no way I think I will ever watch 1001 movies) but it does lead to some... |

| 30. |  | Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling from Grand Central Publishing Price: $17.81 Customer Review: This book, written by perhaps the best worker the wrestling world has ever known, is simply fantastic. Such an amazingly detailed account of one of the most storied careers in the history of professional wrestling. It's truly amazing to see how a man who achieved so much success... |
