Summary: an eye-opening experience to the joys of everyday life
Review: I had the pleasure of taking a philosphy course with James Carse at NYU, and "Breakfast at the Victory" truly captures his quest for day-to-day miracles. Moreso than his other writings, "Breakfast" reflects his spirit and fervor. A very inspirational and enjoyable read.

Summary: A "bible" for today - and tomorrow.
Review: My uncle had given me a copy last Christmas. We discussed the book, and its impact upon our lives, fairly often. When he was hospitalized late this year with what turned out to be fatal colon cancer, he insisted upon having his copy with him in the hospital. When you read Breakfast at the Victory, you'll understand why. Its one of those once-in-a-decade books that affect you for the rest of your life.

Summary: One of the ten best books I have ever read!
Review: This is truly one of the ten best books I have ever read! It draws us into thinking about the fact that there are no ordinary experiences, and to reflect on the magic in everyday life. The essays are memorable, but you will want to read them more than once, and share them with your friends. This is a great gift book, but you will also want to keep your own copy

Review: You know the old parlour game, "If you could take only one X with you to a desert island, what would it be?" Well, if I could have only one book for the rest of my life, _Breakfast at the Victory_ would be the one. I gave copies to everyone I care about.
