Oscar Wilde is one of my very favorite writers. He wrote some very interesting stories such as "The Picture of Dorian Gray". He also wrote very good dialogue. I place him second only to Shakespeare where the dialogue is concerned. Wilde also created well-developed and intriguing characters. I would highly recommend his works.

Whoa! I was totally unfamiliar with the works of Oscar Wilde, until I bought this one on a friend's recommendation. It's huuuuuge, yet incredibly beautiful. Dorian Gray must be one of the greatest stories ever told, his poems are razor-sharp, his letters not less, and every line he comes up with is quotable. If you want to make sure you don't miss a thing, this is the book to get (and try his biography, especially the part about the trial).

Oscar Wilde wrote some of the most brilliantly crafted, witty plays of all time. Get this book and read everything in it! You're really missing out if you haven't read any of his work. His humor is so wicked and will have you cackling evilly at the genius of his dialogue. "The Picture Of Dorian Gray" is also one of the most unforgettable and captivating stories I've ever read. Highly recommended.

Anyone who thinks the Principia is a parody has plainly missed the point. This book contains Truth, and the Truth shall make you laugh.

By the way, as the Principia was originally published in the public domain, interested parties should take a look at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tilt/principia/. Sadly, the HTML version does not include Malaclypse's butt-kicking rubber stamp collection, so buy the book anyway.

Every man, woman, and child on this earth is a genuine and authorised Pope. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

I was browsing through a hobby store one afternoon and a black paperback book with golden enscriptions caught my eye. The enscription read: "The Principia Discordia - or how I foud Goddess and what I did to her when I found her". I became very curious to know what it contained. Without thinking twice I bought the book. I took it home and began to read. I was instantly hooked and couldn't put it down until I had finished it. When I stopped to think about what I had just read I fell to the floor in uncontrollable laughter. After laughing for a while I started crying, and after that I was enlightened. I have recommended this book to everyone I have discussed books with since. It is the second best book I have ever read

The original Principia Discordia was very much mish mash of near random pages thrown together, and the pages themselves were changed and modified. I've always felt that it should be a continually evolving book, and with this edition including newly created pages, it hits closest to the spirit of discordianism (at least in my opinion).

The other editions I've seen present it almost as a relic of the past, as something to be looked at, and fondly reminisced over. The purple edition did a great interview with one of the creators (and 3 of his personalities if I remember correctly), which is nice, but too stale for me.

I'm sorry to see it out of print.

In summary: This edition of the Principia is particularly good because it features added material, all in the style and theme of the original.

Side note: If you want better reviews of this book, look for the reviews of for the purple and yellow editions (by Omar K. Ravenhurst, and Malaclypse et al, respectively). All editions feature the same original content.

This world could be part of Middle Earth that the hobbits never discovered.
Elf, human, gnome and dwarf live in the same city, yet it is an abomination for attraction to grow and if a child is ever spawned with impure elven blood, it is drowned at birth.
Arien, an elf mage never questioned the wisdom or necessity of this practice, then, an elfkin saves his life. Now, he must face truths, some from his own past and some from the world at large... thus, he leaves his scolarly life and embarks on a quest .... you won't regret reading this great story.

Like several people who already reviewed this wonderful novel, I've know the author, Christine Morgan, by the fandom of the TV Series Gargoyles, and met her several times already, during the Gathering conventions. All that to say that I had high expectation about this book, and I wasn't disappointed!
Poignant intrigues, attaching characters, and one of the dealiest sneakiest vilain I've ever known. and most of all non-human races that have more than one dimension, far from the stereotypes of the genre.
I tell you guys, this book is a MUST READ! (like 99% of Christine's stories, anyway!)

I have been a fan of Ms. Morgan's work for a long time and while all of it is awesome, this is one of the best of the best. The day I received it I read it right through. A must read for RPG fans or fans of Ms. Morgan - or both! =)

I visited the MOBA at its cinema basement location in Massachusetts, and was enchanted. I am so glad that this book came out to help make the collection visible to a larger audience. Like bad poetry (see "Pegasus Descending" by Waldrop), bad art at its best is unbelievably hilarious. Some bad art is merely bad, but the utter sincerity with which the works in this collection were painted accounts for much laughter. If by some chance you can't tell why the thing is so bad, there are helpful titles and captions by the authors to explain it to you. My favorite is one called "Pals," in which a sad clown with five o'clock shadow is comforted by a monkey that has "Bette Davis Eyes!"

The Museum of Bad Art is a long overdue book, and I was so happy to finally get a copy. This is the one art exhibit I would gladly pay to see in person.

This is incomparable bathroom reading of the highest order. Do not read in public as your laughter will undoubtedly mark you as insane.

Hardcore mystery fans may find it a bit of a stretch, but if your taste runs to expertly written and very light fiction, you can't do better than Lillian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who..." series. Her detective, reporter James Qwilleran, investigates crimes with the aid of his Siamese cats--and the solutions to the crime inevitably rest more upon intution than actual deduction. While the premise sounds farfetched, Braun's work is actually less fanciful than you might expect, and she presents her eccentric characters and stories with great charm.

THE CAT WHO MOVED A MOUNTAIN finds Qwill longing for a vacation from his beloved Moose County--and at the urging of friends he elects to spend a season in the Potato Mountains. But as usual, Qwill cannot leave well enough alone: once settled in his moutain-top retreat, he finds himself drawn into a battle between developers determined to turn the Potatos into upscale retreats for the wealthy and locals equally determined to hold them at bay... and the ever-astute Koko is behaving strangely. Could an old--and some believe still unsolved--murder be the cause?

Braun frequently references ecological concerns in her work, and like THE CAT THAT CAME TO BREAKFAST, this particular title gives her plenty of opportunity to slyly satirize greed and lousy land-management. THE CAT WHO MOVED A MOUNTAIN is a particularly charming entry in "The Cat Who..." series, and both old fans and newcomers should enjoy it tremendously.

The Cat Who Moved a Mountain is a terrific book - it's the best Lilian Jackson Braun book that I've ever read. It's full of suspense, and it's very well written. It's also very interesting because it deals with prejudice and environmental issues. Overall, this was an outstanding book that I really enjoyed.

I've read all the Cat Who books, and next to the Cat Who went Underground, this is the best. The book is full of humor..as incident after incident happens to Qwill when he goes on "vacation" from Pickaxe.

I found this book good. Its a true story about Jackson the owl. A young boy meets a owl one day and becomes friends with it. It has ok coloring, to much brown, but good drawing. Its a good read. So read it!...

As a naturalist who works with a permanently injured Great Horned Owl, I can say that besides being stunning, the illustrations in this book capture the true facial expressions and body postures of a Great Horned Owl. The information in this book not only draws you into the story, but it is very accurate and educational. I can't recommend this book highly enough to someone looking to present enthralling, accurate information about owl biology to youngsters (or adults for that matter!)

I am an adult owl lover who bought this book for myself, and just love it. This is an amazing true story that's funny, endearing, and doesn't end sad. It makes you say 'awwwwwe.' Every page has huge, beautiful paintings of the Great Horned Owl which are worth the price of the book alone. Even non-owl-lovers will love this story. It begins with Jackson, the owl, riding home in the car, perched on the head rest of the passenger seat (there's a painting of it) and ends with the owl perched on the roof of his owner's house. In the middle, there's a painting of Jackson standing at his master's door, mouse in beak, seeking admittance after tapping on the door, so he can share his hunt with his human family. And this is a mere sampling.
Absolutely buy this book. You will not be disappointed.

Teaching from this book is pure pleasure. It is well organized, up-to-date,and has excellent examples.

An excellent basic management book. Total coverage of the field. Great examples of managers from all walks of life and all colors.

the best management textbook on the market

Seldom has a book about spiritual warfare been as timely and relevant as this one.

I have read many excellent books on the subject, but this really is an absolute must read!

Spiritual warfare is an aspect that cannot be avoided by Christians, and wisdom in such matters is absolutely paramount to prevent us from unwittingly falling into Satan's snares and to protect us from Satan's onslaughts.

John Paul Jackson examines the parameters of our spiriutal authority in facing Satan and his demonic realm, together with the practical guidelines that need to be followed to proceed in such matters on a Biblical basis.

A number of real-life stories are referred to in what is a highly recommended read. All Christians need to access the information provided in this book. Kindest regards.

This book will redefine spiritual warfare for you.
You will find the material within is well written and easy to understand with timely prophetic words for the body of Christ in this season.

John Paul is a transparent servant of Christ, often highlighting his own mistakes, in order to teach us the right path to walk.

There is good fruit from this tree.

John Paul Jackson's teachings have changed my life! This book made me aware of foolish ways I had engaged in spiritual warfare. I changed them immediately! There is so much conflicting information about spiritual warfare today, especially about binding, loosing, and commanding the powers of the enemy. I had never felt completely comfortable with some of the ways I'd been taught to excercise my authority as a believer. After reading Needless Casualties of War, I went to the scriptures and asked Holy Spirit to confirm this to me. He did. Then I went to my knees in repentance. I was horrified at how some of my methods of prayer had actually empowered Satan to operate, by attributing more power to him than he has.

Now my prayers are not only more effective, but my relationship with the Father is more intimate. As I focus on staying under God's cover and listening for His instructions, He can send me on "strategic" intercessory assignments of His planning and not my presumption.

This book has actually saved many ministries and lives, who, like myself, had unknowingly thrown themselves directly in the sights of the enemy's artillery. I have given this book to many ministers and intercessors. They have thanked me for it.

Thank you, John Paul. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
