Very inspirational! I would have to admit I'm not a huge fan of "Arnie" but his words really got to me. This is not an autobiography, instead Arnie offers "tools" to help you better yourself. I think what I like the most about this book is how realistic he is about each tool. Along with certain personal anecdotes Arnie talks about how the little things can help you improve yourself. I liked this book a lot more because it's actually Arnold reading it. Great listen!Very inspirational! I would have to admit I'm not a huge fan of "Arnie" but his words really got to me.

This is what they call art in film. Every scene looks like it can be modern day painting of Caravaggio. Probably one of the best Vietnam films ever made, there is no vision like Francis Coppola. Lots of amazing actors from Martin Sheen, Harrison Ford , Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper and the legend Marlon Brando.
The first ten minutes of the film there is this type of comical madness happening, where Duvall's character is more interested in surfing while ignoring he happens to be in the middle of war. As the movie progresses, it does get darker literally and figuratively. One of the best films ever. Love Coppola's films because of his vision.This is what they call art in film.

Great graphic novel! I didn't realize this was a personal journey from Paul Dini. Dini is survivor from a tragic mugging. He tells his story the best way he can thru this graphic novel. He details his life before and after the incident. This is more of a healing process that he shares with us. The graphics are great. Great read!Great graphic novel!

I would admit that I've never been a huge fan of Britney. I don't think she's the best singer, dancer or her five minutes of fame acting. I find her talent very mediocre, but a lot of people are her fans and that's okay. But with everything that she has faced in her life and is currently facing I would say no one deserves to be treated the way she has been.
In her own words, Britney is telling her story and is being clear about everything. This book is a perfect that every story has two sides. Britney is honest in everything about her life, she talks about perhaps being to young and having kids, to all that she wants is a partner who can hold her after a hard night and even admits she knows she's sexualized her whole career. Britney also talks about her family drama and it is sick how her family have profited off of her. If I've learned anything from reading this is that, Britney is like any modern woman, loves her career but also wants to have a partner who can support her and not live off of her.
This book was a hard read not because of all the drama and everything she's been thru, but mostly because the book reads like a talk to text. The chapters are short but the chronology is okay but not the best. Perhaps she was in a hurry to tell her side of things after her conservatorship. I was never a Britney fan, but now I'm more of Team Britney person because she deserves better.I would admit that I've never been a huge fan of Britney.

Comment:
Kitchen Confidential, by Bourdain is probably one of the best books I've read. While I wouldn't necessary call it a biography, I would say Bourdain does talk about his personal experience why he enter the world of fine cuisine. Bourdain doesn't make himself to be the best chef out there. He talks about how a quick job to keep his personal habit going, lead to him to a world that he's always called home.
I would consider this more of an exposè about what goes on in the restaurant lifestyle. Bourdain gives out a preview about what life in the restaurant industry is like and makes the case why some love it.
I would rate this book more of rated R because Bourdain is very honest with his language. But I loved this book. Best if you listen to it in audio with his voice.Kitchen Confidential, by Bourdain is probably one of the best books I've read.

Read this book for book club thru my local library. Learned a lot about Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt. She was a very brave woman who with the support of her family was able to study and work as an Egyptologist, when many women during her time were pursued to be mothers. Desroches, dedicated her whole life to this subject. The author could have done better in separating background history of Egypt and talking about Desroches's life and her findings. Overall, a good introduction to Egyptology and the woman who introduced the world to it.Read this book for book club thru my local library. Learned a lot about Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt.

SEHNSUCHT, the second album of the heavy metal band Rammstien is a popular album due to its most recognizable song "Du Hast", which most people confused for "you hate." But if you were to ask any German speaker the song just go on circle about you asked me a question and you didn't like the response. SEHNSUCHT does have other great songs in my opinion Bück Dich and Spiel Mit Mir. Just like the title of album, the album is about desire. If you're into heavy metal workout this is a great workout.SEHNSUCHT, the second album of the heavy metal band Rammstien is a popular album due to its most recognizable song "Du Hast", which most people confused for "you hate."

The book is a collection of short essays. I felt as if I was in a bit of a disadvantage because I'm not familiar with the Korean history as I would like to be. But over all it was a good read and it has spark my curiosity more.

I would have to admit that the book cover of this book is absolutely horrible. But this is a perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover. The story line in this book is very cute about accidental childhood best friends who reconnect again once in college.
I think what made me fall in love with this book was when Sadie, one of the main character, says " Promise me, that no matter what happens, no matter what dumb thing we supposedly perpetrate on each other, we won't ever go six years without talking to each other. Promise me you'll always for give me, and I promise I'll always forgive you. "
The next line that follows is also great in my opinion. "These, of course, are the kinds of vows young people feel comfortable making when they have no idea what life has in store for them."
I hope you ignore the cover and give this book a try.I would have to admit that the book cover of this book is absolutely horrible. But this is a perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover.
