How the Dead Live 17 reviews Will Self
Grove Press, 2001
interesting viewpoint
Blurb (or foreword, I can't exactly remember) of this book, presents it as a satire...In a certain way, it is right. But, in some other way it lacks few imortant imformation. When one think of a satire, one think at instant of political attacks towards rulling caste, towards media, and towards ...

Cole Porter: Selected Lyrics (American Poets Project) 1 review Cole Porter
Library of America, 2006
Pass Another Helping of Porter, Please!
As a child and beyond, I soaked up pop song lyrics that have remained cruelly fixed in memory and apparently ineradicable. Too often (and mysteriously) some snatch of what is most often retro and regrettable will surface. This can be highly annoying, as will be clear to those who've heard one of ...

Dead Clowns 11 reviews Lucien Eisenach, Kimberly Lynn Cole
Lions Gate, 2007
What category is below B-movies?
This was just not good. In the world of straight-to-DVD movies, this is one of the worst I've ever seen. There is minimal dialogue; which is probably a good thing because the actors didn't do too well with the simple lines that they had. The costumes might have been good, but the lighting was so ...

The Big Bow Mystery 3 reviews Israel Zangwill
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
Historically significant and a great read
The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...

The Devil's Whisper 2 reviews Miyuki Miyabe
Kodansha International, 2007
Part mystery, part SF, part social commentary
+ An Emotionally Engaging Thriller
The Devil's Whisper is one of the earliest published works of Miyabe's, and arguably her first popular hit in Japan. In many ways this is a fairly representative work of hers--it has the classic Miyabe formula of a scattered collection of mysterious clues faithfully collected, assembled, and ...

Sensei is brilliant.

I read this book before I enrolled in any classes with Dr. Rogers, before I ever moved to Hilo, Hawai'i to persue a Japanese Studies major. My opinion may still be biased, but I was highly enamoured from the very beginning, before even meeting or talking to him.
I really love the selection of ...
