Eat This .. It'll Make You Feel Better

Deluise

Pocket, 1990

the easiest and by far the best italian cookbook ever
I lived with a very Italian aunt who made the best food, and for so many years I assumed that these recipes- lental soup, pasta fagioule, eggs with tomato sauce, pasta primavera etc were from hand me down recipes. To my surprise, after inquiring about how to make "her tuna fingers," she handed me this book. It blew me away how simple and easy the recipes were. Really good Italian food! Its a ...

Perfect gift for the Star Wars Junkie!

This collection has so much to offer. So many little gems that will surprise even the biggest Star Wars fan. It's so masterfully crafted and quite a show piece! It's like a modern heirloom, and sure to provide hours upon hours of ...

A Unique Mix of Absurd Super-heroics and Sharp Character-Drama
They were four damaged people: Rita Farr, a beautiful actress who, while shooting on location, was exposed to a gas that gave her the power to vary her height; Larry Trainor, a daring test-pilot who flew through a belt of radiation, and come through with the ability to release an embodiment of negative energy, but only for a minute at a time; Cliff Steele, a race-car driver, until the crash that ...

Rayuela

Julio Cortazar

Association Archives Litterature Latinoameric, 1998

"Of all our feelings the only one which doesn't belong to us is hope. Hope belongs to life, it's life defending itself."
It has taken me years to sit down and finally make a serious commitment to read Julio Cortazar's "Hopscotch/La Rayuela." I cannot think of a better companion to devote a few weeks to, maybe even longer - hey, whatever it takes! It depends on your reading speed and the time you take to truly savor the poetry of the author's language. So, be willing to make a small personal investment in this very ...

Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive

27 reviews
Joel Meyerowitz

Phaidon Press, 2006

A True Memorial
Aftermath represents the efforts of Joel Meyerowitz to document the destruction and cleanup of the World Trade Center following 9/11. This is a beefy coffee table book that is large enough to give his photos some real impact. Unlike most photo essays, however, you won't find hundreds of beautiful images. After a couple of pages show what New York's skyline once looked like, you are confronted ...

Dream Manager, The: Archive Results Beyond Your Dreams by Helping Your Employees Fulfill Theirs

Matthew Kelly

Hyperion, 2007

The dream manager changed my life
Being in a management position, I thought the book was supposed to teach me how to be the dream manager. I soon found out that it is much better than I expected. It teaches you to start dreaming again. The reason why people are so miserable at work is because they do not feel that they make a difference. I live and breathe this philosophy now at work and in my personal life. The 12 areas that we ...

Outstanding Book - updated...
I was surprised that a former rocket scientist could write such a clear, succinct and absolutely useful book. I have tried his suggestions with my a100 and have taken a few pictures I am very proud of. You cannot go wrong with this choice. Hard Copy or downloaded (print pages to take with you on theme shoots). dateline 3 months later... I have since taken many more pictures with the Sony ...

It Came from Bob's Basement: Exploring the Science Fiction and Monster Movie Archive of Bob Burns

Bob Burns

Chronicle Books, 2001

Bob Burns Collector of Dreams
Bob Burns has written a wonderful little book titled, "It Came From Bob's Basement." This book is chronicle of a moment in time that has long since passed from our lives, but we can always take a moment to revisit. Bob grew up in the 1930's when many things, which we now take for granted, were in their infancy. Before video games, and a color television in every home, a child was more innocent; ...

The Poor Mouth: A Bad Story About the Hard Life

Flann O'Brien

Dalkey Archive Press, 1996

Not for Nationalists
This book is an inside joke, and a classic at that. It is a grand send up of professional Irish (both at home and abroad). As example, consider a book written in Gaelic making sport of the Gaelic movement by means of a Gaelic festival. ( In ourland of the professional ethnic festival, this might serve as an effective antidote to "Irish" nights and "Scots weekends.") If you are inclined to ...

Between Midnight and Day: The Last Unpublished Blues Archive

10 reviews

Da Capo Press, 2003

a great read not just for the blues geeks
An extraordinary read! I feared that this book was receiving so much praise because blues geeks felt that they had to eulogize the talents of this famed sixties blues promoter. No, it's not hype, this book really does hit new highs in great closeup shots and portraits, woven together with rich and personal tales that describe the crossing of Waterman's path with that of many of the greatest blues ...

King Treasures : Photos, Mementos & Music from B. B. King's Collection is by King, Dick Waterman and Charles Sawyer. Sawyer, who wrote the first book-length biography of King, The Arrival of B.B.

Janet Malcolm

Granta Books, 2004

Fight over Freud
Very well written and captivating non-fiction story about the intrigues around the Sigmund Freud Archives. The character descriptions are interesting, and we are also given some insights into the history and concepts of psychoanalysis. This is done without the text becoming too theoretical. In the Freud Archives is not difficult to read. After reading the postscript I wondered a little about ...

Louis-Ferdinand Céline

Dalkey Archive Press, 2007

The wildest of Celine's many wild rides
I love all of Louis-Ferdinand Celine's novels, from "Journey to the End of the Night" to "Rigadoon", but I have to say that "North" is my favorite. It's hard to say why exactly, because his novels are mostly simlar in tone and style, except for "Journey", his first, which is his most accessible, ellipses-free novel...Bukowski (who turned me on to Celine in the first place) said that Celine went ...

The Green Lantern Archives, Vol. 1 (DC Archive Editions)

11 reviews
John Broome, Gil Kane

DC Comics, 1998

Silver Age SF at its best
To create a hit comic today you need to tell the origin in the first issue, begin the exploits in issue 2 and kill a character in #3, just to stay alive. When Green Lantern was reworked in the pages of Showcase - in the 60s - this was not the case. Broome and Kane's SF masterpiece takes a full year to unfold GL's origin; and this is how it should be. Giving bits and pieces of the complex tale ...

The Trick Is to Keep Breathing: A Novel

Janice Galloway

Dalkey Archive Press, 1994

Haunting
My interest in the band "Garbage" led me to this book - its title was used by them to create a chillingly magnificent song on their second CD. I found the book itself to be one of the most creative and compelling works I read this year. The story it tells gets under your skin to such a point that I don't recommend it for those already depressed. For the rest of us, it is a chilling look inside a ...

Truly A Dark Knight!
I strongly suggest you read the other reviews because they give great insight about this volume and how batman is depicted. I will not recount what the other reviewers have already stated, but I will give a synopsis of what to expect from this archive collection: 1. It reprints the Batman stories of Detective Comics #27-50 2. Issue #27 marks the debute of The Bat-Man and Bruce Wayne's friend ...

Superman Archives, Vol. 1 (DC Archive Editions)

12 reviews
Jerry Siegel

DC Comics, 1997

Great stuff, but buy used
This is actually some great stuff. I think the early Superman stories are good examples of exciting storytelling with interesting social commentary. For example, the first Superman story contains a none-too subtle anticaptial punishment message, as our man saves a lady from an execution and a man form a lynching (remember, this is 1938). The second shows Supe stopping a war that is concocted by ...
