LehuaNet Cream of the Crop Shops: Multi-Genre Gems

Don't know what to choose for a friend?
Funny, warm, and extremely provocative; life's big questions wrapped in a superb story	Papert's curious combo of advanced degrees, computer engineering and child development, help him put the finger on what was -- and still is -- wrong with how we use computers	This remains the funniest book I have ever read
Deliciously mysterious	I would never have dreamed this topic would be such poetry; Pollan made me smell the pine, and feel the wind as we sat on the lodge pole and surveyed the world	With hindsight, there's no way I could consider myself truly educated if I hadn't read this book
How to Raise a Dog in the City and in the Suburbs Wonderfully funny, spot-on, and graced with Thurber's humorous illustrations	There's already so much to appreciate, and this adds depth to that	Banks's writing is always peculiar, but Kathryn totally won me over
This is the 3rd of the wonderful Dragonriders of Pern trilogy, and very much my favourite	The first of the enchanting Harper Hall trilogy (companion to Dragon Riders of Pern), a series that offers additional magic to poetry or music lovers (and those who love itty-bitty personal dragons).	My very favourite of Andre Norton's tales (especially fun for cat lovers, too)
Filled with colour, this swept me away as a young teen and remains a favourite


Stunning cinematography, and the coffee shop scene between De Niro & Pacino is a masterpiece	As much fine art as story telling; surely its intelligence is what kept it from pop fame	The magic of these multi-discipline creators must be seen to be believed	A grown-up romance, heart-grabbing locales, and a lot of fun along the way
Spielberg's consummate skill weaves wonder, friendship and courage into a matchless classic	Both haunting and funny, Crow Road is unique	Infinitely re-watchable	It's hard to imagine that we'll ever see the size of leap that the first episode took
Amazing and very moving	Bill and Coo Filmed using actual birds -- mesmerizing	Even the adults get captivated	Featuring dancing by Savion Glover of Improvography, via motion capture technology
Widescreen	Full-screen
