Comments

Well, it looks like the offers are definitely slowed down. This one is exactly one month after the last MP3 offer (for a classical crossover album). In between, we've had exactly four offers (other than the ever present and not so local AmazonLocal deals). Then again, that's better than the month before (which had three offers bunched up at the beginning, then nothing for three weeks).

I missed one of the classical albums I was considering on the last offer (it went up in price, nearly double from the beginning of the offer), but that doesn't appear to be an issue with the albums on this offer's list, as they all appear to be full price, currently. However, it looks like two of the choices are already "unavailable" (don't know if it is a geographic restriction or if they sold out at the discount price, so the selection may dwindle over the month the offer is valid (then again, one or two might drop in price at the beginning of next month, as The Greatest Journey - Essential Collection by Celtic Woman has done with the Classical offer, which means it is only $3 with the KSO credit, least for the next two days!

• Out of Mormonism (K/N/E)

How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer ($1.99), the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award winning biography by Sarah Bakewell, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day.

Book Description
How to get along with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love—such questions arise in most people’s lives. They are all versions of a bigger question: how do you live? How do you do the good or honorable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy?

This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Monatigne, perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them “essays,” meaning “attempts” or “tries.” Into them, he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog’s ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller and, over four hundred years later, Montaigne’s honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment—and in search of themselves.

This book, a spirited and singular biography, relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. It traces his bizarre upbringing, youthful career and sexual adventures, his travels, and his friendships with the scholar and poet Étienne de La Boétie and with his adopted “daughter,” Marie de Gournay. And we also meet his readers—who for centuries have found in Montaigne an inexhaustible source of answers to the haunting question, “how to live?”

Family: Life, Death and Football ($1.57 / £0.99 UK), by Michael Calvin, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $9.39).

Book Description
A self-published bestseller and British Sports Books Awards 2011 nominee, Michael Calvin’s Family provides a unique glimpse into the soul of a real football club.Award-winning sports writer Calvin follows Millwall through an emotional promotion season. There for the first day of training, he was on the substitutes’ bench at Wembley, 333 days later. He vividly portrays players and management as family men, close to their roots. In captain Paul Robinson’s words : ‘We’re playing for the people who hate their jobs, who’d love our lives.’Forget the glitz of the Premier League – this is the beautiful game in all its raucous glory. Intimate and compelling, Calvin’s unforgettable picture of lower-league English football is essential reading for anyone for whom football is far more than just a game.

Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao ($2.99 Kindle, B&N), by Wayne W. Dyer, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle. This appears to be a well-researched text and Hay House (an inspirational, but not "Christian" publisher) generally does a good job editing/formatting their texts, so I've downloaded a sample.

Book Description
Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.

In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today's modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne's researching of 12 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are "Living with Flexibility," "Living Without Enemies," and "Living by Letting Go." Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called "Doing the Tao Now."

Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu's messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.

This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, "This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you'll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I've ever experienced. I'm so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me."

Sharks! (National Geographic Readers Series) ($3.99 paperback (eligible for 4-for-3); no Kindle edition; $1.99 B&N), by Anne Schreiber, is the Nook Daily Find for Families, price matched on Kindle. Note that this only works on the NOOK Color, NOOK Tablet and NOOK Kids for iPad app.

Book Description
He’s quick. He’s silent. He has five rows of deadly teeth. Chomp! Meet the shark—the fish who ruled the deep before dinosaurs roamed the Earth! This fish has soft cartilage so he can glide, twist, and turn before his prey can say "gulp!" He can smell a single drop of blood in 25 million drops of ocean. He can feel electricity given off by his prey. He will lose and replace more than 10,000 teeth in his lifetime. Cool photos bring kids into the shark’s world. Fun facts go deep into the shark’s scary science.
