(More customer reviews)I loved The Practical Napper. The author's sense of humor, writing, and photos made me laugh out loud. I even read parts of it to my husband, and he liked it as well. I consider myself an accomplished (avid) napper , and still I found practical, hilarious tips to incorporate into my napping practice. I recommend this book to anyone.

Jennifer Eyre White's The Practical Napper: Tips, Facts, and Quotes for the Avidly Recumbent is the perfect bedside (or couchside) read for the recumbently inclined. It's the first book to show that napping is, in many ways, a noble pursuit: It's good for you, it's good for the environment, and it's good for world peace. Consider the following while you're catching your next 40 winks:* Napping is good for the environment. When you're napping, you're not:a) Burning fossil fuelsb) Procreating, thus increasing the pitter-patter of little carbon footprintsc) Engaging in slash-and-burn agriculture.* Napping during sex is sometimes perceived as a lack of interest. Be careful with that.* Advice for parents with newborns: nap when the baby naps. Unless, of course, you have other kids, in which case you'll need to tie them up in the back yard first."A wonderful book, both for reading and for placing on the face while napping." --AJ Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically"My motto has always been, 'More napping, less slapping!' This funny and informative book takes us ever closer to that dream." --Jack Handey, author of Deep Thoughts

Here's what former Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck had to say about baseball: "This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings." That's just one of the thousands of quotes gathered in this gigantic collection, and they include some of the wisest, wittiest comments made on America's national pastime. Edited by Wayne Stewart, a sports writer with almost 30 years of experience and 20 books to his name, and with a Foreword by Roger Kahn, who wrote the seminal book on baseball, The Boys of Summer, this anthology includes observations from players, managers, owners, writers, fans, and more. Among the greats whose thoughts are here to savor: Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, Babe Ruth, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Derek Jeter, Don Zimmer, Roger Angell, Red Barber, George Will, and countless others. This is a great gift book for any baseball fan!

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." If words could describe parenthood, these by Elizabeth Stone may just sum up the experience for many parents. Meanwhile, Playwright George Bernard Shaw has given us the much broader observation that, "Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family."Probably as much has been said about being a parent as there are drops in the ocean but one thing is certain - one can not really know what it is like being a parent until one actually becomes, themselves, a parent. Compiled from the wisdom of 3000 years of living and life, this book seeks to personify the joys and experiences common to all parents and to celebrate the bond between children and their parents.
