| 1. |  | Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team (Cassell Military Paperbacks) from Cassell Price: $9.35 Customer Review:  I would call this book interesting, but that is about all. It sounds true, has excellent endnotes and even has some good photos in the middle. What did I pay, ten bucks? No big deal. I won't complain. But Smith's writing style is so odd. Long after I decided I wasn't enjoying the book, I started... |

| 5. |  | The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google from W.W. Norton & Co. Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  This book starts off well, but it could make its point well with about 100 less pages. |

| 6. | [no image] | The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.56 Customer Review: In Chapter 19 of this book, the chapter opens with a quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt regarding the conduct of the war. He said that he may be entirely inconsitent, and furthermore, he was prefectly willing to mislead and tell untruths if it would have help win the war. That statement is a perfect... |

| 7. |  | The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey from Wiley Price: $26.39 Customer Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book and enjoying the stories it contains. I was never a 2600 subscriber or participant, but I was familiar with the content of the magazine and the anti-authoritarian stance taken by those behind the publication. I finally decided to get this book,... |

| 9. |  | The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon--The Story Behind the Craze That Touched Our Lives and Changed the World from Three Rivers Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: If I had to choose between reading this book or playing a video game, I would read this book. It is fun, exciting, and never boring. That is something to say about such a large book. At the time I picked it up, I figured it might be ok. I have read it at least 5 times and am getting ready to get a... |

| 12. | [no image] | The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage Customer Review: all sorts of new stuff was going on with computers in the 1980s. It offered new opportunities for spies to steal military accounting and inventory records. Fortunately most people are incapable of deciphering military accounting and inventory records anyways. Clifford Stoll interjects just enough of... |

| 14. |  | The Enduring Vision: A History of the American People, Volume 1: To 1877 from Wadsworth Publishing Price: $127.95 Customer Review:  Bought this book for a class my daughter is taking on-line. The reason for the one star has nothing to do with the book, it has everything to do with the ridiculous price, $119. This sort of price gouging is rampant in all of academics, it reminds me of the windfall profits from big oil. Consumers... |

| 15. |  | The Soul Of A New Machine from Back Bay Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: Although Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize winner, The Soul Of A New Machine, was written 28 years ago, it has withstood the test of time. It speaks to early days of the computer industry and the culture that was booming in the 1970s, when companies such as Digital Equipment, Wang and Data General were... |

| 16. |  | General Lee's Army: From Victory to Collapse from Free Press Price: $12.89 Customer Review: I purchased this book due to the reviews of McPherson and Gallagher, two eminent historians whose work I have found outstanding in the past. Any book they tout will most likely end up in my library. However, author Glatthaar attempts too much in this single volume, and he leaves too much out... |

| 17. |  | Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet from Simon & Schuster Price: $10.20 Customer Review: This is the best book I have ever read on the origins of the Internet.

| 18. |  | Genealogy Online For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies)) from For Dummies Price: $16.49 Customer Review: This book is for the beginner genealogist. It tells you how to plan your research and what kind of computer equipment to have. It takes you step by step in certain websites. It is extremely boring, even for a genealogy book. I was hoping for more info on what is contained in individual websites,... |

| 19. |  | Pamphlet Architecture 27: Tooling from Princeton Architectural Press Price: $19.95 Customer Review: Aranda/Lasch provide a glimpse of what algorithmic techniques in architecture are capable of producing. Spiraling, packing, weaving, blending, cracking, flocking, and tiling are briefly defined, and their conceptual application in architecture is explored. Although interesting, the discussion... |

| 20. |  | Rainbow's End: A Memoir of Childhood, War and an African Farm from Scribner Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Flawless - in every sense - absolutely incredible breadth of space - the view you get through your own eyes is truly very real and utterly horrific.... I grew up like this and I know what it takes to come out of it whole (or at least partly) - as you will never forget how and why we become the soil... |
