THE HOBBIT AND THE LORD OF THE RING BY J.R.R.TOLKIEN
J.R.R. Tolkien, "J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings)"
Amazon.com Review
Hobbits and wizards and Sauron--oh, my! Mild-mannered Oxford scholar John Ronald Reuel Tolkien had little inkling when he published The Hobbit; Or, There and Back Again in 1937 that, once hobbits were unleashed upon the world, there would be no turning back. Hobbits are, of course, small, furry creatures who love nothing better than a leisurely life quite free from adventure. But in that first novel and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo and their elfish friends get swept up into a mighty conflict with the dragon Smaug, the dark lord Sauron (who owes much to proud Satan in Paradise Lost), the monstrous Gollum, the Cracks of Doom, and the awful power of the magical Ring. The four books' characters--good and evil--are recognizably human, and the realism is deepened by the magnificent detail of the vast parallel world Tolkien devised, inspired partly by his influential Anglo-Saxon scholarship and his Christian beliefs. (He disapproved of the relative sparseness of detail in the comparable allegorical fantasy his friend C.S. Lewis dreamed up in The Chronicles of Narnia, though he knew Lewis had spun a page-turning yarn.) It has been estimated that one-tenth of all paperbacks sold can trace their ancestry to J.R.R. Tolkien. But even if we had never gotten Robert Jordan's The Path of Daggers and the whole fantasy genre Tolkien inadvertently created by bringing the hobbits so richly to life, Tolkien's epic about the Ring would have left our world enhanced by enchantment. --Tim Appelo
About the Author
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892?1973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. His chief interest was the linguistic aspects of the early English written tradition, but even as he studied these classics he was creating a set of his own.
Quote: While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter...

The Godfather is the Mafia leader Vito Corleone, a benevolent despot who stops at nothing to gain and hold power. Set in Long Island, Hollywood and Sicily, this is a story of a feudal society within society which does not hesitate to consolidate its power.
In the sequel to Rich Dad Poor Dad, learn how the role you play in the business world affects your ability to become financially free.
There are four types of people who make up the world of business but it?s the business owners and the investors (not the employees and the self-employed) who can create great wealth by accelerating their cash flow through those assets.
A Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Rich Dad?s CASHFLOW Quadrant is perfect for employees or self-employed individuals interested in finding new ways to generate cash flow. If you?re already a business owner or real estate investor, this book delivers tools for even greater success.
Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant will reveal why some people work less, earn more, pay less in taxes, and feel more financially secure than others. It is simply a matter of knowing which quadrant to work from and when.
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an employee and a business owner? Why some investors make money with little risk while most other investors just break even? Why most employees go from job to job while others quit their jobs and go on to build business empires? Why in the Industrial Age most parents wanted their children to become doctors, accountants, or attorneys...and why in the Information Age these professions are under attack? Have you noticed that many of the brightest university graduates want to work for college dropouts - dropouts like Bill Gates of Microsoft, Michael Dell of Dell Computers, and Ted Turner of CNN? Dropouts who today are the mega-rich of society. Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant will answer some of these questions and assist in guiding you to find your own path to financial freedom in a world of ever-increasing financial change.
It is for people who are ready to move beyond job security and begin to find their own world of financial freedom, people who are ready to make deep professional and financial changes in their lives, people who are ready to move from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. It is about choosing new options, new directions, and a new financial future.
This is one of the best of the Rich Dad Poor Dad audios. The core idea in this series is that being an investor or business owner gives one more freedom and a higher upside than being someone else's employee or being an owner-operator of a business. With vivid personal stories, the authors show that many people, including the author's "poor" dad (an educational administrator), choose working for others because of insecurity or misguided trust in organizations. One builds true financial freedom by accumulating assets that make money, especially rental property. Though others have offered this advice, it's clearer and more potent here, and worth listening to many times if your financial insecurity or complacency needs a push. T.W. ?

OVER 6 YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST!
- April 2007 -
The New York Times 1 Bestseller is changing how the world views money by shifting your context to that of a rich person.
If you are like many - dependent on your paychecks to cover your monthly expenses - then you don?t think like the rich.
The rich don?t accumulate cash. They accumulate assets that generate cash flow for them.
In reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, you?ll better understand the power that thinking can have on your life. If you are looking for financial freedom, then Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great place to start your learning process.
Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed. --Howard Rothman
From AudioFile
Attitude towards risk determines acquisition of wealth, according to Kiyosaki, a financial lecturer and millionaire. Fear of risk keeps you in the house-and-bills "rat trap," unable to escape. Short fore- and afterwords by the Hawaiian-born Kiyosaki frame a serviceable reading by British actor Hoye. Sounding American, Hoye makes little attempt to add zip to this economics discourse. Reading from a script, his narration is unmemorable, but it successfully conveys the intended monetary advice. The random musical bridges do not correspond to sections or chapters. A.G.H. ?

"To get over the top financially, you must read RICH DAD, POOR DAD. It's common sense and market savvy for your financial future." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Are you and your financial plan on the fast track or the slow track?
If you are like most, retiring early sounds great. More time to spend with friends and family. More time to travel and see different cultures. More time to do that which really interests you.
To get on the fast track, you need to leverage your mind, leverage your plan and leverage your actions. In Rich Dad?s Retire Young Retire Rich, Robert details how he and his wife Kim achieved financial freedom in less than ten years.
More importantly, he shows how a context shift in your mind allows you to create a plan that formulates the actions necessary for your financial freedom.
In this fifth addition to his highly successful "Rich Dad" series, Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad) now focuses on the power of debt leveraging in order to work less and earn more. Beginning with the principle of changing attitudes about financial freedom, he explains the difference between earned income and passive or investment income, managing good debt that makes money for you, such as in real estate, the fundamental concern about 401(k) retirement plans that are too focused on stock market performance, and the need to create a long-term financial freedom plan and the emotional discipline to stick to it. Listeners will likely be captivated as they learn how to replicate his success, and the crisp narration by Jim Ward definitely makes this fact-filled collection of sound financial advice another hit for Kiyosaki. The solid, practical insight into how to put together a plan to financial freedom will require a commitment to changing lifestyles and personal attitudes about work and, of course, enough time left in life to allow the investments to succeed. Highly recommended for all public libraries, especially those that have not yet begun to add Kiyosaki's other super titles to their business and investment collections. Dale Farris, Groves, TX

From AudioFile
The RICH DAD, POOR DAD author urges us to shift from a wage-earner mentality to the fast track of creating assets that make money for us. He shows that presumably safe methods like a steady job and blue chip stocks are flawed; he recommends educating oneself and taking a few risks. The program focuses on rental property, building a small business, and network marketing as good ways to create a money machine. The tone of the program and the author's personal success stories are very convincing. For a break from buy-and-hold financial advice that really gets at the heart of why we work and invest the way we do, few other personal finance writers are as clear, concise, and influential. T.W. ?
