Essential X-Men, Vol. 3 (Marvel Essentials)

Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum

Marvel Comics, 2001

Awesome...yet in dire need of reprint.
These stories are amazing. Pure and simple. After I read the Dark Phoenix Saga-well, of course, no X-Men story will ever equal the depth, perception, and feeling of those nine issues, but this volume comes close enough to be hailed. From the opening arc concerning Doctor Doom and Murderworld to the spellbinding cliffhanger on the final page, it's a great thrill form beginning to end. You ...

A Shannon Ravenel Book, 2007

What a world she has created !
Not since I first read COLD MOUNTAIN have I really enjoyed and devoured a book so quickly. I can't wait to read more of her work. After I read the authors note, some of the heart that must have poured out and into Lee's writing became so apparent.

Now this is my kind of TPB!
I'm a huge fan of the Civil War series and I have to say that the Civil War: Marvel Universe book totally exceeded my expectations. The artwork amazed me and its not one, but many different styles by the very talented artists who brought the illustrations to life. Not only do you hear stories from great characters like She-Hulk, Venom, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Ant-Man, U.S. Agent, Captain Marvel, ...

Benjamin Cummings, 2005

excellent resource
This book is a great resource for a wide range of mind/body health issues. Although there are some sources/references that aren't as "legit" (previous reviewer's comment), there a ton of scholarly articles. And this book compiles most of the good literature and research that exists on mind/body health topics.

Appalachian 100 years of solitude
I recently read this again after a hiatus of 11 years. Lee Smith simply delivers stories, characters, and setting that can't be beat. It was only while sitting here, thinking about how wonderful the book was with the multiple voices and circular story line, that I realized the comaprison to Marquez' Solitude was right there. Both are wonderful books that HAVE to be read. I still cannot ...

Favorite Recipes (so far)
Sauteed Leeks with (Savoy) Cabbage was wonderful at the Thanksgiving table. We added a little spinach too. A few other tastes I've fallen for completely and often: Wild Mushroom Pasta and Mashed Rutabagas. The Persimmon Pudding. Fresh Tomato Pasta -- love the addition of a little butter to this quick dish. Fried Green Tomatoes ... great alongside a big breakfast of good bacon and eggs. The rest ...

Fabulous Book
What a wonderful book. Quite often, a book is real good until the ending, and then I'm let down, But this has a really good ending too. This tale is really excellent: a verbal piece of art. I liked all the lineage and interconnections in this large musical family. I learned what it's like to have mucic within you -- to write as well as perform. I liked the character developments -- no one ...
