Has anyone read any of the "A Very Short Introduction to..." series from Oxford Press? The few I've read have been pretty good, and they cover a lot of different subjects.

p.s. I'm not associated with them in any way

It is a take off on the %~@^&=* for Dummies series ?

matclone

No, of course not. As near as I can tell, the series is all written by British professors. The "Dummies" series concept suggests a practical need to learn the information. The "A Very Short Introduction" speaks more to intellectual curiosity. You would never see a Dummies for Christian Art, or Dummies for Locke, but the Oxford Press is publishing shorts on these subjects. I'm currently reading one on Medieval Britain.

Just finished "The Difference Maker" by Maxwell. Listening to "Leadership" by Lee Iacoca now, a little too much Bush bashing for no reason in the beginning which makes it hard to get through. About to start "Good to Great" and "Success on Your Own Terms."

ODH

Just finished "Neither Here nor There" by Bill Bryson, who is a great travel writer and it is a laugh out loud funny book. And "Cheyenne Moon" by Larry McMurtry, one of my favorite authors.
Currently reading "Rabbit is Rich" by John Updike as part of my quest to read all of the Pulitzer Prize winning fiction books.

Actually I meant to say "Leaving Cheyenne"
I read Comanche Moon already and loved it. It is the prequel to Lonesome Dove.

Flop The Nuts

"Good to Great" is a fantastic book if you are interested theories behind why some companies succeed and why some fail (other than the obvious reasons).

I may read the Al Gore book as well. Even though I intensely dislike that fat duck, he and I probably are in agreement about many of the Bush administration's failures.
