Female Rider's P.O.V.
As a new rider, I appreciated reading other's reasons for riding. The book is not meant to be a literary classic, but a reflection on the diversity of people who ride motorcycles. I'm genuinely interested in other riders' stories. Also, as a photographer, I really appreciate it's documentary-style photos. I have the book displayed (open)on my shelves as art.

Chicago Stories: Tales of the City

Chronicle Books, 2003

Hometown and host to talents as diverse as Richard Wright, David Mamet, Maya Angelou, Saul Bellow, and Mike Royko, Chicago boasts a rich tradition of writers who have helped shape our sense of the city even as the city informs their best work. It's "a writer's town . . . a fighter's town," according to Nelson Algren, and this anthology proves it. With a striking new cover, Chicago Stories collects the most evocative writing on the city, its ...

Author's response to misleading review
NOTE: This is not a review. We are the book's authors and are writing in response to the careless and misleading comments made by reviewer "erikbaard." "erikbaard" seems to think we should have written a narrowly focused book catering to his personal interest as a kayaker, describing such minutiae as seagull eggs. But our book is intended as a history and guide book, an approach we believed would ...

Originally allied with the Americans the Phillipinoes were angry that the U.S had promised indpedendence and from their point of view, reneged on the promise. An insurgency broke out and the American army used classic anti-insurgency methods to ...

A lush and wonderful volume

Must have for NY Sports Fans
Whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours of free time, this book will entertain, inform, and perhaps even infuriate you (if you disagree with the author's list!). As a sports fan, I've heard numerous accounts of some of the most storied events in NY sports history, but I've never wanted to read an entire book on any of these historic moments. Well, here's the answer. In only a few pages (for each ...

Love
I read this book in 24 hours. It's like Stuart was writing about my upbringing. I too would love to share with my parents that I am gay, but our fundementalist background prevents that. I know that my coming out would result in a situation similar to Stuart's, yet I hate to lie to them. And as Shakespeare would say, "There's the rub." The Bible says that liars shall have their share of ...

Timeless
All right, the most recent edition of the Blue Guide added CBGB's, an East Village rock, punk club that has now gone out of business. A few other establishments in the various editions of this fantastic guide are undoubtedly also no longer with us. Having said that, even the oldest first and second editions (the latter, from 1991) are still incredibly useful, even timeless. For even they have ...

Understanding Europeans

Understanding Americans
This is one of the most interesting books I've read in some time. While I can't vouch for its descriptions of the European mentality, I did find that its constrasting descriptions of the American mentality very much rang true. (Of course, being generalizations, they won't always apply to all Americans.) In fact, the book helped me to understand and clarify my own (very American) feelings and ...
