1.The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by: Alice Schroeder September 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details
How can the most comprehensive biography of the world's most remarkable allocator of capital be disappointing? Alice Schroeder has used her several years of access to Buffett to good, but not great effect. This is a terrific human interest story, but how many purchasers will be buying the book for that reason? For those of us spoiled by Buffett's ability to say all with few words, wading through Schroeder's work is frustrating. Ultimately, the return per word read matches the index of Buffett biographies, nothing more. For the book to live up to the man a greater return was required. Everyone should understand Buffett, but start with the main feature: his own words and books that add value. This is the equivalent of the bonus ... Read More:

2.At My Mother's Knee ...: and Other Low Joints: And Other Low Joints by: Paul O'Grady September 18, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.49 You Save: £9.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.53
I was shocked to read that Paul O'Grady is actually from Birkenhead, over the water and not from real Liverpool, but the scouse way of speaking and thinking is so well captured, despite Paul writing it from his farm in Kent. (And him really being from the wrong side of the River Mersey.) And yes, I do know what I'm talking about for once because yes, I am from Liverpool. That isn't the only reason this memoir was so enjoyable. It is Paul at his most hilarious. More surprisingly, it is pretty honest as well. Paul shows us how he became a little snob for a while! He also tells us he was beaten by the priests at one of his schools, but he doesn't dwell on this like misery memoirs do, no, he soldiers on to the next funny bit. I couldn't put ... Read More:

3.Parky: My Autobiography by: Michael Parkinson October 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.00 You Save: £10.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.55
Bought this at a signing last week and I haven't put it down since. Parky has met some of the most important people of the last 40 years and lead a fascinating life. Despite all that success he remains extremely charming and humble, wrote a lovely message in the book I bought for my mum. Perfect xmas gift.

4.Dear Fatty by: Dawn French October 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.49 You Save: £9.50 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.53
Although the title nearly put me off, (wondering if this was going to be another celeb confessing eating disorders) I really loved this book! An absolute gem which I am now recommending to my friends. What is really clear is just what a lovely, warm, funny person Dawn French is, her writing had a real resonance for me having had similar experiences and she really touched me with her revelations about her past. An inspiration to women and a hilarious read, I highly recommend it!

5.Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything by: Elizabeth Gilbert March 05, 2007

Fantastic and humourous writing - couldn't put it down. Immediately passed the "wealth" to one of my best girlfriends upon completion. Every woman must read this!

7.Carra: My Autobiography by: Jamie Carragher September 11, 2008

I'm not a Manchester United supporter, but I read Alex Ferguson's autobiography, and enjoyed it. I'm not a Liverpool supporter, but I read Robbie Fowler's autobiography, and enjoyed it. I read Shane Warne's autobiography, but I'm certainly not an Australian. In short, I read a lot of autobiographies about sportsmen whose teams I have no allegiance to, and I read them without prejudice. I suppose if you are a Liverpool supporter you might enjoy this book, but if you're not then don't bother, it wasn't written for your benefit anyway. Basically, Carragher does not have a good word to say about any one or anything outside the boundaries of Liverpool. Apparently he hated playing for England, hated even travelling to London, and doesn't feel even a passing allegiance ... Read More:

This is the best autobiography ever written! Once I started reading, I could not put it down, and this is laugh out loud funny.. A wonderfully warm and funny book, written by one of our national treasures..I cannot recommed this enough, and almost cried when I had finished it!

10.The Duchess by: Amanda Foreman August 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.79
I picked up the book as I wanted to watch the film. I always feel it is better to read a book then watch the movie to compare. From the start I was drawn into the book. It is very easy to read and the details are just perfect. There are references to politics but thats a good break. Any intellect should be able to comprehend what is being described. The duchess valued politics so naturally the book should make references to it. There are references to political figures but they are refered to through out the book and you feel like you know them as well as the duchess and her family. At times, I felt real sad for the duchess but at times I felt rather cross with her and her naivety; her gambling ways and her willingness to live with her husband's ... Read More:
