Sun Tzu's ancient text, The Art of War, is as applicable today in the acting business as much as it was 2500 years ago on the battle field.

The Gentiles, A History of Sri Lanka 1498-1833 by Agnes Padmini Thambynayagam

There is nothing I enjoy more than reading a book that is described by the publisher and critics as "controversial" or "provocative." "The Gentiles, A History of Sri Lanka 1498-1833," a carefully researched and well written book by Agnes Padmini Thambynayagam is such a book. As you may have guess by her name, Ms. Thambynayagam was born in Sri Lanka and spent her growing up years there.

Silent Scream By Yvonne Mason

In a world that has changed so much, where young people go missing daily, this novel reminds us that we need to warn our young women and young men to always be on the alert for sexual and social predators. The lives of so many families changed in 1972 when Gerard Schaffer, serial killer, whose twisted and maniacal mind decided to take the lives of young women he felt were unworthy of living. Comparing these young women to whores, he would trick, lead, and deceive these girls by leading them into his lair. Gerard Schaffer, a man of superior intelligence, believed in his own mind that what he did was right. He felt justified in his killings and bragged about them to anyone who would listen.

The Six Wives of Henry VIII
Written by: Alison Weir

Weir weaves a suspenseful tale of lies, mistrust, and greed as she examines how Henry VIII treated his wives. Each woman had their own distinct style - Katherine of Aragon was elegant, Anne Boleyn was haughty, Jane Seymour was humble, Anne of Cleaves appeasing, Katherine Howard dared to cuckold the king, and Katherine Parr was nurturing. Weir takes the reader on a delicious romp through English history, telling each lady's story and their impact on the Tudor legacy. History comes alive, breathing new life into Henry's story due to Weir's masterful storytelling.

James Patterson has done it again. I, Alex Cross is full of suspense and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This good is one of my favorite books of all time. Mitch McDeere is a Harvard graduate who get a job in a tax lawyer firm in Memphis. McDeere has everything; a wife, a good job, and a Harvard degree.
