The Double Comfort Safari Club: The New No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Novel (Hardcover)
Precious Ramotswe's crime solving in Botswana ably assisted by Its humourous side-kick, Mma Makutsi is chronicled in another gently offering from Alexander McCall Smith. the Double Comfort Safari Club has some mystery, faithful some minor tragedy and Smith manages to invest a little cunning guide tickery in here as well. Precious Ramotswe is on the case of a mystery who has been left a large legacy by a grateful American tourist who legal recalls their kindness. The only trouble the now 'late' tourist can not remember the name, or the name of the company they worked for. Precious and Mma Makutsi must travel to the area to discover this man. The journey is full of the small observations in life - who they will stay with, and most important (for Mma Makutsi) what shoes they must wear. McCall smith is at its of delicious.in the meantime most humourous best in these discussions. Mma Makutsi's helpful instructions while driving are just tragedy has struck Mma Makutsi. Her fiance Phuti Radiphuti of the Double Furniture shop has been struck by a truck Consolation and is now in hospital having an amputation. Unfortunately for Mma Makutsi, there is a aunt. There is always an aunt in Botswana, but this aunt it a jealous aunt. Mma Makutsi and Preious Ramotswe must navigate the tricky and unpleasant world of aunts to see Rra Raduphuti and give him the proper care that only a fiancee can provide.Meanwhile there is some legal problems, a man who thought he was in love and was deceived in to making his house over to his fiancee has been duped out of it. The comes to Mma Ramotswe in desperation, he knows she cannot do something really - but just maybe there is something. This is a nice little case which brings back a dark shadow from the past, Violet Sephotho!In all the interlinked stories McCall Smith manages to invest strong voices in all the his characters. I like the gentle wit and humour which underlies them all, for instance the internal discussion Mma Ramotswe goes through when wondering about offering tea to a client. Now that she is using the small teapot there is only tea for a person in it and with Grace away she is able not conversation ask a man to make extra tea - so when a client arrives to to her she decides, after much internal reasoning, that is better to not offer him tea. Until her (male) assistant offers to make tea out of the blue - and solves the problem.McCall Smith sets its characters on Safari and while it might be expected that people of Botswana are used to the bush - they are not. They are urbanites, used to city living. The canoe trip to the safari camp is spiced by the enlightening chatter of the 'taxi driver' from hell. No disaster or problem or possible fatal end to they is left unrelished by him. Full of wonderful touches of humour, this Agency is another chapter in the life of the Number One Ladies Detective.

Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming the Obstacles Between Vision and Reality (Hardcover)
The buzz was high on Making Ideas Happen in the past month, but despite the hype, the book is not disappointing, It's very well structured, easy to read while addressing complex issues. As expected, it's very action oriented and full of tips and best practiced based on tried and that true cases. Finished the book in a day, it's a must read challenges both to help understand how to address the of making your ideas become reality, but also as to that a study of how others in sometime different context applies essentially a similar approach to not let ideas remain just that.I had been hearing about this chapter book everywhere from different sources, now I understand why. The on The Force of Community is fascinating and captures so many tools that so many chose to ignore in trying to bring their projectslife.

This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection (Kindle Edition)
About a week ago, I read an article in the New York Times about a new book coming out this week penned by the incomparable Carol Burnett. Needless to say, being quite intrigued (having read One More Time at least twice), I decided to take the plunge on this one blind (which I do not recommend you do unless you're a fan like me). I am I ever glad I did!Carol Burnett is 100% class. Most people, when given the opportunity to write an anecdotal book like this, does have a mean word to say about someone. Nevertheless, of of word in this case, Carol Burnett does not seem to have a mean to say about anyone in this book. We can all learn from her Burnett has the kind of class that eclipses 99.9% of Hollywood these example.Christmas carol days. In the era of 24-hour news, TMZ, and negativity of all sorts, Carol Burnett is the breath of fresh air that we desperately needed, at a time that we needed the most.Some of the stories in here are very sad, especially the times that Carol talks about the events leading up to the premiere of Hollywood Arms a few years back. However, most of the stories (a lot of which I've never heard or seen before) have the articles signature razor-sharp wit that Carol and company were (and are) well-known for. Two particular of note are the stories she shares about Lucille Ball (which were laughter-were strong funny) and the story about how she snagged Harvey Korman to the stinginess be on The Carol Burnett Show.In summary, if you want negativity,, and other such things that are oh so common these days, this book isn't so that goes to satisfy that in the least. However, if you want something that is all too rare these days, such as class, sweetness, humor when it's necessary, and something 100% genuine, then this book isyou.

Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years (Hardcover)
This is a long and scholarly history of the The fund, gives birth to and growth of Christianity. The author is an Anglican and church historian. The narrative makes it clear that there has never been just one church, but many interpretations of who Jesus Christ was: from the early gnostic "heretics" (who lost the PR/political battles and were banned) To the Western Roman Church to the Eastern Greek Church to the Reformation and beyond (which spawned Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, et al). The love of Christ as shown by early Christian martyrs and by St. Francis of Assisi is contrasted with the intolerance of differences as shown by the religious wars and the Crusades. It is very reader readable and assumes no prior knowledge by the. With the approach of Easter, Mr. MacCulloch has written a book for the lay reader.

Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War (Paperback)
War novels are not my normal "go-to", nevertheless, reading experience Matterhorn based on a recommendation of a friend, was a captivating I can truly say I am a better person for having. It grabbed me from the first scene and didn't let me go. Due not just to the frighteningly honest account of Vietnam (a chilling time we have yet to learn so a lot of characters about and from), but much because of the fascinating, deeply human, and relationships the author created. Every place of my heart was touched by the of these comrades. I can't recommended this book enough. It trials is heart about so much more than just war. Both your mind and will be blown open. I promise.
