| Author | David C. Pollock |

The Global Nomad's Guide to University Transition
| Author | Tina L. Quick |
| ISBN | 1904881211 |
Never judge a book by its cover! Ha! I wish this guide was around when I was at uni. Why not update it with more global stories for those transitioning to counties other than US. Or with a more contemporary personality model like the enneagram model rather than the now somewhat limiting Myers-Briggs.....
Women, Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
| Author | Geneen Roth |
| ISBN | 1416543074 |
Roth began exploring emotional eating in her bestseller When Food Is Love. Now, two decades later, here is her masterwork: WOMEN FOOD AND GOD.

| Author | Christopher Marlowe |
| ISBN | 0143104950 |
The poetry gets five stars, but the edition only gets two. With modernized spelling but no notes or context, Marlowe's translations of Ovid's Elegies and of Lucan's First Book are especially difficult to understand. This slim, inexpensive book (Dover Thrift Editions) might be useful if you already...
| Author | Paul Auster |
| ISBN | 1886224145 |
There is an essay at the end of Joy Williams' book 'Ill Nature' that I believe is called 'Why I Write'. Some of these short essays in Paul Auster's 'Why Write' remind me of that Joy Williams' piece. Both are well worth the read.
While there is a place for books like Strunk and White in the writer's...
| Author | Jacques Lacan |
| ISBN | 0393307093 |
What a relief! To know that nothing and no one depend on me to be the lone persuasive English voice exhorting you to read this! I don't have to prove anything, least of all that I have--first--completely understood and--second--can readily illuminate for you every shadowy nuance of Lacan, both within...
| Author | Hans-Georg Gadamer |
| ISBN | 0520034759 |
Gadamer gets at least three stars for everything, just because he manages to be a serious student of German philosophy, but his sentences are comprehensible on first reading 80 to 90 percent of the time. That makes... one serious student of German philosophy, who is also an original thinker in his/her...
The Art of Frugal Hedonism: A Guide to Spending Less While Enjoying Everything More
| Author | Annie Raser-Rowland |
| ISBN | 0994392818 |
It sounds too good to be true. You can save money and the world, inoculate yourself against many of the ills of modern life, andenjoy everything more on both the sensual and profound levels? Preposterous!
Yet here is a toolkit to help you do just that. A tweak here, a twiddle there; every strategy...
