Oregon trail history now grips my heart.
Growing up where the Oregon Trail ruts cut through western Nebraska, its story was familiar in a vague, serene way. Through Lucy, James MacLaren and the other characters of "A Sudden Country," my heart is now forever gripped with the pathos of that trail. Karen Fischer weaves the broken strands of native people, mountain men,and the Anglo families leaving their known world, so that the fabric of ...

The Accidental Therapist. Spenser's Sigmund Sofa Shines Susan's Spirit. Self-Actualization Be Done.
SUDDEN MISCHIEF, # 25 in the Spenser series, provided another prime work up on the Man/Woman relationship scene, dealing with ex-hubby scars, Susan's turtle-snap moods, and a new-and-improved conversational skill from Dr. Sigmund Spenser. I'm roaring onward toward the end of the series with continued amazement at how many miasmas of human angst Parker has been able to muck into, for Spenser to ...

For me, it was the language
For me, it was the language. Crisp and clear, like a bright winter's day. Honest, matter-of-factly, like the farmer's boy who tells the story. This is not one of those dialogue-driven books. The characters don't talk very much, neither David, nor David's father or any of his family. Feelings are expressed in faces, in actions, not in so many words. This is so difficult for an author to do ...

Sudden Storm
If you enjoyed "The Perfect Storm", you'll love this book! It combines the chronological events of the 1938 Hurricane with personal stories of those who endured it. It had special meaning to me, having been born in Rhode Island, and both my parents - before they had even met - were trapped in buildings in Providence by the storm surge. I had heard all the local stories growing up, but this ...

once again, the genius of TOM BRADLEY carries an anthology
This whole book is a sheer marvel and delight--and, as usual with the many anthologies in which his uncanny writing appears, the pole star, the capstone, the cynosure of every eye, is TOM BRADLEY'S bit, "Hugh of Provo." In a few dozen words it manages to be horrifying and hilarious, as the little neighbor girl "seeps through the drapes in vaporous form" and reintegrates on Tom's chest, to ...

International Lightning Bottled Up
~~It's a great book to have. You can read it on the subway and chew on a few stories in one transit, or just scan the beginnings and look for what catches your eye, or you can curl up on a rainy day and devour the whole book. You can consider this book an appetizer to an entree of international literature. It whets the palate. There are some very good writers, from many cultures, and writing in ...

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 1983

Contains Some Amazing Stories
I disagree with the previous reviewer's rather disparaging comments: This isn't simply a "bathroom read." For writers, it's a great lesson in economy and brevity. The short-short stories contained within will help any writer realize the benefits of using language with precision. It's also a wonderful read (you don't have to be a writer to enjoy it!) Some of my favorite stories of all time, ...

A Must Have Resource for Women
This book was extremely helpful for me in making the decision to proceed with a hysterectomy. Since my surgery, I have referred to this book countless times. I truly don't believe any woman should undergo a hysterectomy without the benefit of this informative resource. I found the book easy to read and understand. More importantly, the book assures its readers that life will go on after a ...
