Pale Fire

85 reviews
Vladimir Nabokov

Vintage, 1989

brilliant
I adore books that change and grow as you read and reread them. Nabokov's Pale Fire definitely fits the bill. This novel really exemplifies the excessive amount of freedom within Nabokov's creative process - it is boundless, performative and very much alive. It's almost as if Nabokov makes his very own strict set of literary rules and then turns right around and breaks them for no other reason ...

Berlin Noir: March Violets; The Pale Criminal; A German Requiem

Philip Kerr

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1994

Nazi Germany crime noir
What a fertile setting for some great crime noir drama. Germany at that time was being seduced by Nazi nationalism and we get a sense of the people's different reaction to this period of history. Our guide is a hard boiled ex-cop private eye who knows the ins and outs of the landscape. I recommend this series.

The Pale Horseman (The Saxon Chronicles Series #2)

Bernard Cornwell

HarperCollins, 2007

The Pale Horseman
Cornwell grabs the readers interest from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the last page! His books are so well written that the reader feels a pang of regret as he nears the end of each of his books.

Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1997

Carl Sagan, the man speaks for Earth
It's hard to believe Pale Blue Dot has been with me for over 8 years, it is also the 8 year during which I was transformed by the intelligence and wisdom of Dr. Sagan, and of course, his other works Cosmos and The Demon Haunted World become my favorites. Pale Blue Dot reads like the sequel to Cosmos, but with more focus on our Solar System, and it shows a much more wide perspective than ...

Torts and Compensation: Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (American Casebook ...

Dan B. Dobbs, Paul T. Hayden

West Group Publishing, 2005

The typos kind of annoy, but the book is informative
Like many students in law school I had to read this book for my Torts class. Our professor did an excellent job with a fairly mediocre book by explaining the concepts and cases at length (and thus eliminating the need for me to go and buy supplemental materials). There are sections of the book that you can gloss over (and this is precisely what our professor had us do) unless you really need to ...

Pale Kings and Princes

Robert Parker

Dell, 1988

Pillows Puffed for Wide-eyed Wallowing in Pages of a Plot
There's no use trying to use a Spenser novel to conjure or cajole the sandman. Similar to TAMING A SEA-HORSE (#13 Spenser); PALE KINGS AND PRINCES (# 14) kept me up a couple hours in the middle of the night, beyond a silly hope of returning to sleepiness through a short time of reading. PALE KINGS opened again with the standard realism of the detective doing his walk-alone-deal, accompanied ...

The Pale Blue Eye: A Novel (P.S.)

Louis Bayard

Harper Perennial, 2007

Hitchcock Meets Poe
Kudos to Louis Bayard for this unique and cleverly crafted murder mystery set in the early days of The US Military Academy at West Point, an unlikely setting, but not as unusual as the casting of Cadet Fourth Class Edgar Allan Poe in a lead role. Poe indeed attended West Point - albeit briefly - a historical fact which the talented Bayard uses to full advantage in spinning a tale that apes Poe's ...

Behold a Pale Horse

William Cooper, Milton William Cooper

Light Technology Publications, 1991

Will you believe??
Interested in conspiracy theories? This book has them all. It's not an easy read, but once you get used to the writers style it becomes easy to go through. There are copies of documents in this book that are questionable, even though they look legitimate. I find it hard to believe that a document is left on an old copier that was purchased at surplus. I also find it hard to believe the account of ...

A Pale Horse
Charles Todd has maintained the high quality of interest and intensity shown in his earlier Rutledge novels. The book has fulfilled every hope I had for it, and I look forward to the next in the sequence.

Pale Horse Coming

Stephen Hunter

Pocket, 2002

Simply a good story!
A Pale Horse Coming is simply a great story. It is entertaining, has an intriguing plot, and good character development. Written along the lines of the movie High Noon, Earl Swagger finds himself yet again in the world of bad men and evil times. His heroic ideals carry him through to a rousing conclusion. Is the story plausible? Probably not, but in the world of fiction anything is possible ...

The Homebrewers' Recipe Guide: More than 175 original beer recipes including magnificent pale ales, ambers, ...

Patrick Higgins, Maura Kate Kilgore, ...

Fireside, 1996

Excellent addition to a homebrewer's library.
Ok, so some recipes are in need of adjustment, but the book is loaded with recipes and interesting brewer tips. It is simple, but it is not a step-by-step how-to. I suggest that this is good for the homebrewer that is ready to experiment and try new things and of course, the more experienced can tweak the recipe when and if needed. The beginning section touches on the framework for all the ...

Signet Eclipse, 2005

Luke warm
This is a thriller, conspiracy theory, black-ops type of book. Daphne is recruited into a top secret FBI type of agency known as Darkwing. What make this book a little different from other vampire books is that the female lead character (Daphne) actual feels the downside of immortality. She feels sadden from the loss of friends and lovers she has had in the past. When she has a chance to ...

Pale Gray for Guilt (Travis McGee Mysteries)

John D. Macdonald

Fawcett, 1996

The great MacDonald
While I still find "Flash of Green" to be my favorite MacDonald book, there's something so appealing about the Travis McGee series that keeps me coming back to them. And "Pale Gray for Guilt" has such an engaging opening sequence of events, and such an array of fascinating characters, that you cannot put this mystery down. I just hope that MacDonald continues to gain in popularity, as I feel he ...

Sleep, Pale Sister (P.S.)

Joanne Harris

Harper Perennial, 2005

A Dreamy Drug of a Book!
I bought this book on the advice of a member of my Tarot group. She said that there were several instances of Tarot readings and such. I'm very grateful that she recommended it because it was a fabulous read! "Sleep, Pale Sister" is a dreamy drug of a book, an ethereally written Gothic sort of ghost story that had me enthralled for several late nights. Magic, Tarot readings and a nice touch ...

Nabokov: Novels 1955-1962: Lolita / Pnin / Pale Fire (Library of America)

3 reviews
Vladimir Nabokov

Library of America, 1996

Nabokov a hard act to follow for other serious writers
Picture Vladimir Nabokov. In the hall of mirrors that is popular culture, he is the dirty man who wrote the dirty book "Lolita," about a 12-year-old "nymphet" -- he invented the term, by the way -- and her affair with an older man. Angle the mirror another way, and he is one of the founders of the modernist novel, which to some people -- myself included -- that's a damning phrase. ...

Counterclockwise

Roger L. Conlee

Pale Horse Books, 2006

The best of both worlds
Good fiction not only answers the question of "what if," it plausibly fills in the blanks. Roger Conlee's robust second novel COUNTERCLOCKWISE is an entertaining and thought-provoking romp based on the "what if" premise of the Japanese attacking southern California during World War II. While some may debate the genre - is it historical or speculative fiction? - the truth is that it combines the ...

Pale Ale, Revised: History, Brewing, Techniques, Recipes (Classic Beer Style Series, 1)

6 reviews
Terry Foster

Brewers Publications, 1999

Very well done
Any homebrewer that enjoys making and drinking pale ales needs this book. As an avid reader of the Classic Beer Styles Series, I feel that the author has taken some of the best aspects of the previous 15 books and combined it all into one, making this one of the most useful in the series. The second edition of the book is a tremendous improvement over the first. The book is longer than ...

Pale Horse, Pale Rider (H B J Modern Classic)

Katherine Anne Porter

Harcourt, 1990

Short fiction the way it should be.
Katherine Anne Porter displays the human experience with turns of phrase that catch your breath. The awkward spinster cousin blooms "like a dry little plant set out in a gentle rain" when her critical mother leaves the room. A woman delirious with influenza falls into a sleep "that was not sleep but clear evening light in a small green wood..." I thought Flannery O'Connor had ruined all other ...

Kazuo Ishiguro

Vintage, 1990

It doesn't matter how old someone is, it's what they've experienced that counts
Under the surface of apparently harmless conversations, the author uncovers Japan's `very strict and very patriotic' old world of `discipline, loyalty, such things held Japan together once. People were bound by a sense of duty. Towards one's family, towards superiors, towards the country.' But, in fact, it was a rigid, cold world without pity (symbolized by the merciless drowning of the ...
