          Book Description

          Jason Fox rules . . . his computer code, at calc and trig, and in whatever fantasy he happens to be headlining at the moment. Just because the rest of the Fox family-from older brother Peter and sister Paige to parents Roger and Andy-haven't quite accepted his Dominion Over All isn't cause for concern. Math geeks, Jason is convinced, will govern the earth, and he will lead the way. FoxTrotius Maximus: A FoxTrot Treasury, picks up on Jason's megalomania and runs with it . . . and it doesn't stop until readers are out of breath from laughing so hard. FoxTrotius Maximus combines the works Your Momma Thinks Square Roots Are Vegetables, Who's Up for Some Bonding, and Am I a Mutant or What? That means longtime FoxTrot readers and new fans alike are treated to Jason and his friend Marcus's never-ending antics, Andy's ongoing allergy fun, Peter's latest hot haircut, and a host of pop-culture trends and topics including music piracy, video games, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Timely, topical, and terribly funny! This latest FoxTrot treasury represents the ninth anthology of Amend's wildly successful comic strip, based upon the cartoonist's 17 previous books and his daily and Sunday syndicated appearances in more than 1,000 newspapers worldwide. FoxTrot truly is one of America's all-time favorite comics, and combined sales of nearly three million copies show that Amend knows how to capture and keep his audience's humor-loving attention. All hail, FoxTrotius Maximus!

          5 out of 5 stars FoxTortius Maximus. Foxtrot, All Great!.......2007-02-28

          I've been a Foxtrot reader for a long time and personally I think there is something suspiciously wrong with people who don't find Bill Amend's characters funny as all get out. If you want a good laugh, check out Bill in your local newspaper, or better yet, get one of the Foxtrot books. They are all great, really, they are.

          Like many of Mr. Amend's fans I'm a bit disappointed he's switching his strip to Sunday-only, but fortunately I can still read him daily in the Foxtrot books. Get them one and all and you can keep right on a laughing.

          5 out of 5 stars Laugh, Laugh, Laugh the Day Away.......2007-02-18

          I have been a faithful FoxTrot reader for years. Roger, Andy and their kids Peter, Paige and Jason are always good for a reality check with a large dose of laughter. I've got two girls and let me tell you, I see a lot of my kids in Paige with, I believe, even a healthy dose of Jason thrown in. And they have Peter's bottomless stomach. Of course, they're faithful FoxTrot readers too. I used to read the strip to them, explain what was going on, but now they get it just fine and we three all laugh together. Then my girls try and explain the strip to their dad, who pretends he doesn't get it.

          The FoxTrot folks are a great family, one we sort of got used to checking up on every day, so we took the news that Mr. Amend was going to cease daily distribution of his wonderfully funny people and turn his strip to Sunday only, with a bit of sadness. Still, we have these terrific FoxTrot books to keep us going with our FoxTrot fix. Mr. Amend is to be commended for his great gift to our culture and his great gift to so many lives. I truly believe a laugh a day, helps keep the blues away and the FoxTrot gang are always good for a laugh. Heck there are a lot of laughs in the FoxTrot books. I know, I have them all and I am, along with my girls and my hubby dear, eagerly awaiting the next one.

          Oh yes, I forgot to mention, we don't have an iguana, but my girls do have a pet gecko and, you guessed it, his name is Quincy.

          5 out of 5 stars I LOVE FOXTROT!!!!!!.......2006-02-13

          Very good book, laughing hardly!!!! One of the best!!!!Roger and the rest of the family are hilarious lots if laughs. Amizing!!! Bill Amend GENIOUS(?)!!!!!

          5 out of 5 stars FoxTrotius Maximus - A FoxTrot Treasury.......2005-09-29

          Excellent treasury collection of Bill Amend's FoxTrot strips, both daily and Sunday. Jason is the spotlight of the strip in the Fox family. One of better treasuries withint the collection of FoxTrot comic strips.

          3 out of 5 stars More Memoirs of a Papillon: Diary of a Mad Dog.......2007-05-26

          After reading "Memoirs of a Papillon: The Canine Guide to Living with Humans
          without Going Mad" I was very anxious to read Mr Fried's sequel. I was
          disappointed in his second effort. I felt it was more Mr. Fried's
          pholosphy on life and not enough anecdotes of Genevieve's life experiences.
          I couldn't put down the first book and laughed till my sides hurt. I even
          bought several editions to give to friends. As a papillon owner, I could
          really relate to his firt book. I'm sorry to say, Mr Fried's second effort
          didn't live up to his first. I hope he tries again.

          5 out of 5 stars More Memoirs of a Papillon: Diary of a Mad Dog.......2007-03-09

          Genevieve is at it again! A thoroughly delightful read, following up on the first book written with the assistance of her adoring "dad" Dennis. This book will leave you laughing even if you aren't lucky enough to share your life with a Papillon.

          5 out of 5 stars Memoirs of a Papillon.......2007-01-04

          This is a follow-up book of the adventures of Genevieve the Papillon. I happen to own one of these dogs and they "truly" are off-beat little dogs. Actually, they are downright "weird."
          Dennis Fried has truly captured the essence of the breed. A great book for any dog-lover but an AWESOME book if you're familiar with the breed.

          5 out of 5 stars Genevieve is right on!.......2006-06-13

          If you have never owned a papillon, you will find this book to be funny. However, if you have a papillon, you will understand exactly where Genevieve is coming from. So many of her tales remind me of one of my three papillons or of one of the rescues that I have fostered. This is a truly great book and is an easy read after a long, hard day at work.

          My two favorite chapters in the book were the one on marriage, as seen from a canine prospective, and the one on exercise, especially since I am one who dislikes it.

          Read the book. You will see.

          2 out of 5 stars Denny's Memoirs, as told to His Dog.......2006-03-21

          Sorry. Read this book and the earlier one, and just didn't think it was all that good. My wife and I are the owners of two Papillons, and I thought these books would be fun. The first wasn't that bad, really, but this one totally blew it, in my opinion. Full of "Denny's stories", not Genieve's. Mostly his rants on things, or attempted humorous observations, and next to nothing truly presented from a dog's-eye view of the world.

          If you are truly a dog lover looking for an entertaining read, I'd give my recommendation to "What Wendell Wants" by Jenny Lee

            Book Description

            Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, Roseanne Barr, Martha Stewart, and Britney Spears typify class-passers—those who claim different socioeconomic classes as their own—asserts Gwendolyn Audrey Foster in Class-Passing: Social Mobility in Film and Popular Culture. According to new rules of social standing in American popular culture, class is no longer defined by wealth, birth, or education. Instead, today’s notion of class reflects a socially constructed and regulated series of performed acts and gestures rooted in the cult of celebrity.

            In examining the quest for class mobility, Foster deftly traces class-passing through the landscape of popular films, reality television shows, advertisements, the Internet, and video games. She deconstructs the politics of celebrity, fashion, and conspicuous consumerism and analyzes class-passing as it relates to the American Dream, gender, and marriage.

            Class-Passing draws on dozens of examples from popular culture, from old movie classics and contemporary films to print ads and cyberspace, to illustrate how flagrant displays of wealth that were once unacceptable under the old rules of behavior are now flaunted by class-passing celebrities. From the construction worker in Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? to the privileged socialites Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie of The Simple Life, Foster explores the fantasy of contact between the classes. She also refers to television class-passers from The Apprentice, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and Survivor and notable class-passing achievers Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and P. Diddy.

            Class-Passing is a notable examination of the historical, social, and ideological shifts in expressions of class. The first serious book of its kind, Class-Passing is fresh, innovative, and invaluable for students and scholars of film, television, and popular culture.

                        3 out of 5 stars Not bad........2006-09-21

                        Victor H. Royer, Powerful Profits from Internet Poker (Kensington, 2006)

                        First off: it's well worth noting that this book constitutes an extension of Royer's earlier Powerful Profits from Poker. If you haven't read that one, start with it instead.

                        Powerful profits from Internet Poker is a companion volume to the earlier book, in which Royer focuses on the differences between brick-and-mortar and Internet poker playing. So if you're looking for general hints, tips, and strategies for poker playing, this is not where to go. If you spend most of your time playing poker on the 'net, though, you may find some things of use here if you're not already well-read on the subject. If you are, you're going to wade through a lot of retread, but that's not necessarily a bad thing; it's often useful to brush up on the basics now and again.

                        There are three chapters devoted to the three main games played at Internet poker sites, one each for Hold'em, Seven-card stud, and Omaha. (When is someone going to write the definitive book on Crazy Pineapple? That's what I want to know...) Two more chapters are devoted to detailed analyses of PokerStars and PartyPoker, and the interleaved chapters deal with such topics as general strategy tips for Internet poker, poker and the law, etc. (That last is a must-read chapter as the Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act nears a Senate vote, by the way.) You'll see a lot of stuff you've already seen, especially if you're already a student of one or more of the games discussed (as, I would assume, anyone picking this book up is) and/or you already have an account on PartyPoker, PokerStars, or both. If so, just read the stuff that'll be new first, and go back and read the whole book later on, when you have more time. If you're a greenhorn, though, this is a quick and easy overview of stuff you need to know, and is worth your time. ***

                        3 out of 5 stars Very informative CHAPTER on hold-em poker................2006-08-11

                        First off, let me get a gripe out of the way. The way this book was put together is aweful. Its seems at the start of every chapter it just goes into talking about a subject. No specific layout, barely any periods at the ends of the sentences! Its as if the author had a thought, wrote it, and just kept writing without using any type of formal layout. It reminds me of some of my college papers I wrote!

                        The book deals with many types of poker, not just hold em, so many of your will instantly feel ripped off in the amount (or lack of) of information it has on the worlds most popular poker game, holdem. It does go into the actual game of internet holdem, but the information is no different than any other book I've read on the subject.

                        Would I recommend the book? If you have never, ever, ever, ever played internet poker before, buy the book. If you have, you'll be disappointed.

                        5 out of 5 stars Absolutely excellent book!.......2006-03-19


                        This book was given to me as a gift. I am really a blackjack player mostly, and so I didn't have much experience with poker. I did play poker several times in the casinos, but nothing serious. I also didn't play on the Internet. But that's all changed now!

                        At first, I just wasn't all that interested in Internet poker, but after reading this book I found out it's a really good game. What I like most about it is that I can do it from home, and not have to travel to a casino to play poker. But I didn't know much about the Internet poker, and had little clue about how to get going, and how to play, and not be taken for a ride.

                        After reading this book, all my fears went away. This book shows how to get started, how to find the games and tournaments, and how to play winning poker specifically for Internet poker play. This was all new to me, but with this book in hand I quickly learned the tricks. I was also given this author's other poker book, Powerful Profits from Poker, because in that book I could learn more about the poker games. With both books together, I soon became quite good at this. I won my first tournaments by following the advice in this book, and I have been happily playing ever since.

                        Since I read this book, and the author's other book on poker, I also read some of the others. While I agree with this author that reading more is better than less, I do want to say that I find Royer's style clear, refreshing, and to the point. He talks about this difficult Internet poker craze in simple terms, and that makes it easy to become a winning player.

                        I also like that this author gets down to the facts, and speaks about the realities of exactly what it is that you will find when you play poker on the Internet. There is also a nice chapter about the legality of Internet poker, and the author makes it very clear that there are no laws in the USA that in any way prevent you from playing on the Internet.

                        All in all, this is an excellent book about Internet poker, and the various poker games you find there. If you want to play poker on the Internet, this is the book you should get, and read, and study.

                        5 out of 5 stars Excellent book if you want to Win on the Internet.......2006-02-20


                        This book is one of those rare gems that you don't often find in poker literature, or poker books. Not only does this book offer important insights on how to handle the online poker boom, but it also provides the means of learning how to find your way through all the pitfalls, and the hype, and get to the real meat of winning.

                        The strategy portions of this book are particularly important, because they focus on the specific differences between the real-world poker, and the kind of poker being played on the Internet. There are very big differences, and if you don't know how to handle it, you won't be winner. You need to know how to adapt to the Internet poker play, and this book is the perfect way to find that out.

                        There are many good strategy books out there, most of which are about the "traditional" poker, like that which is played in the real-world poker rooms. This author's other poker book is among them, although that book also sets up the strategies and information found in this one. This book is perfect because it takes you away from the "tired old thinking," such as you might find in some "traditional" strategies, those that may not apply to the 21st century world of online poker.

                        As a result of this book, I have won more tournaments online in one month than most of the "name" players win in a year. I have won Hold'em freezeouts, rebuys, sit-&-goes, Omaha/8, and cashed-in in over 70% of the tournaments I entered. Furthermore, I learned how to establish online accounts, how to manage them, how to set up a Neteller account, how to avoid collusion, and how to play well in that online world. I'd say that's about as good as it can get.

                        This is a book you should have, if you want to learn the world of online poker, and be a winner. It's your choice, but to my mind the few dollars you spend for buying this excellent book is well worth it.

                        Just look at it this way: Spending around $15 for this book made me wins of $1,600 and $1,200 back-to-back in $5 buy-in Hold'em tournaments, and many more wins of several hundred dollars each in small buy-in tournaments. Of course, you can make up your own mind, but I'd say I made a good deal.

                        1 out of 5 stars not a good poker book.......2006-02-20

                        If you are looking for a good poker strategy book, look elsewhere. I found this book unfocused and full of "filler" material. It gives advice on several poker variants (Holdem, Omaha, Seven Card Stud), but offers nothing ground-breaking or in-depth on any. Most disappointing is the extra material thrown in to "fill out" the book. There is a compendium of cyber terms, explanations on how to use Party Poker and Poker Stars, instructions on how to fund your account, etc. If you are looking for a good poker strategy book focusing specifically on Holdem, I recommend "Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments Vol 1". I don't believe this book is worth the money for the majority of players.

                        5 out of 5 stars Amazing lessons.......2007-07-24

                        I have read many self-help books - so far this is the best and most far-reaching and comprehensive. Like Dr Rao mentioned the book is based on Eastern philosophies, mainly the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Dr. Rao had made it available to the world resident of the 21st century. I wished the adherent of these religions will take heed of how they have to come back to the true teachings of their religion. Majority have stray way far from the true teachings and that is why we have all these problems in the world right now. There are so much to learn and to master in this book and it is amazing how Dr Rao had made it so relevant and inspiring. Each time I read portion of the book I left with serenity and peace. I have not even buy the book yet I just borrow it from the public library but surely I will get one for myself. This will be one book that will never want to depart from together with Pulling Your Own String - Dyer. It has truly help me be better and stronger.

                        I've read numerous books of self-help and of similar spiritual laws that this book is teaching; yet this is the first time I was so impressed that I write a review for a book. What I have to say is simple-- if you choose to take the time reading this book, you are truly blessed.

                        There are books that change your life, and if you are ready for them, they open unforeseen doors. Srikumar Rao has provided all of us with a gift far greater than keys to success...he's given us tools to tap inner resources, to sort through what we have been given in this world, and to move not only sucessfully, but proudly and happily through life. By transforming the way you view the world, this book allows you to also sculpt what the world has to give you in return. Although I did not take the course, by reading the book and completing the exercises, I am a more enriched person today. I stand firmly in saying that this book should be required reading for young and old alike, especially those entering a new field of work or endeavor. I have met 3 previous students of Rao's and am impressed with them all. Professor, you have my vote of confidence!

                            A good book - having read a couple under the similar titles wasnt frankly expecting much .
                            What I did like or rather what is striking is the sincerity that the book oozes .. 52 pages of to read books is though a little too much of home work from the professor .

                            While like many ther in my peer group ,I, also believe there is nothing new to learn most of the day . A book like this challenges this , With information presented in a fashion which changes the perspective with which one looks at life ,one turns back to say "Oh learnt that from this book ,Thank you Mr.Author"

                            Recommend to any one who is interested in changing the way they look at life .
