A hero with Huck Finn’s heart and charm, lighting by El Greco and jokes by Punch and Judy…. Riddley Walker is haunting and fiercely imagined and–this matters most–intensely ponderable.” –Benjamin DeMott, The New York Times Book Review”This is what literature is meant to be.” –Anthony Burgess”Russell Hoban has brought off an extraordinary feat of imagination and style…. The conviction and consistency are total. Funny, terrible, haunting and unsettling, this book is a masterpiece.” –Anthony Thwaite, Observer”Extraordinary… Suffused with melancholy and wonder, beautifully written, Riddley Walker is a novel that people will be reading for a long, long time.” –Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World”Stunning, delicious, designed to prevent the modern reader from becoming stupid.” –John Leonard, The New York Times”Highly enjoyable… An intriguing plot… Ferociously inventive.” –Walter Clemons, Newsweek”Astounding… Hoban’s soaring flight of imagination is that golden rarity, a dazzlingly realized work of genius.” –Jane Clapperton, Cosmopolitan”An imaginative intensity that is rare in contemporary fiction.’ –Paul Gray, TimeRiddley Walker is a brilliant, unique, completely realized work of fiction. One reads it again and again, discovering new wonders every time through. Set in a remote future in a post-nuclear holocaust England (Inland), Hoban has imagined a humanity regressed to an iron-age, semi-literate state–and invented a language to represent it. Riddley is at once the Huck Finn and the Stephen Dedalus of his culture–rebel, change agent, and artist. Read again or for the first time this masterpiece of 20th-century literature with new material by the author.

he wellsprings of desire and the impediments to love come brilliantly into focus in Evelyn Waugh’s masterpiece-a novel that immerses us in the glittering and seductive world of English aristocracy in the waning days of the empire. Through the story of Charles Ryder’s entanglement with the Flytes, a great Catholic family, Evelyn Waugh charts the passing of the privileged world he knew in his own youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities. At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, Brideshead Revisited transcends Waugh’s early satiric explorations and reveals him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity.

he plan was simple. Ethan Cheeseman, along with his three smart,
polite, and relatively odor-free children, would travel back in time to
end an ancient family curse and save their mother. Now that the LVR (a
super-secret time machine) is in working order, it should be easy peasy.
Except they didn’t account for one basic rule of science: Murphy’s Law,
where everything that possibly could go wrong, does. So the Cheeseman
family finds themselves on another madcap adventure, this time through
stormy seas and haunted castles. And though their narrator, Dr. Soup,
has a ton of unsolicited advice to offer young readers, he doesn’t have
much to say to help the Cheesemans. Just this one thing: Good luck!

*************************
charming romance about the lives and loves of people in a small Tennessee town. In the tradition of Debbie Macomber.
“Hey, ya’ll. Dixie Ferguson here. I run Ferguson’s Diner in Angel Ridge, Tennessee. Population three hundred forty-five.
It’s a picturesque town in the valley of the Little Tennessee River, established in 1785. In the early days, its first families–the McKays, the Wallaces, the Houstons, the Joneses, and, of course, the Craigs–staked their claims on hundreds of acres of the richest bottom land anyone had ever seen.
After all the years I’ve spent behind the counter at Ferguson’s, I could probably tell ya’ll a story about near everyone in town. But we only have so much time, so I’ll narrow it down to just two for now.
This is a story about coming home. It’s also a story about acceptin’ folks for who they are. You could say it’s a story about Josie Allen, a librarian, and Cole Craig, a handyman, but I say it’s a story about finding love where you’d least expect to.”

Feels Like The First Time by Foreigner
Genre(s): Rock, Classic Rock
From an Amazon Top Reviewer:
‘ve been listening to Foreigner since 1977 when they came out with their self-titled first album. By the way, to this day, their best all the way around. From the music and to the fantastic harmonies, the group could never top that album. As the years went on, band mates left, the group got smaller and then the lead singer had serious health issues and left the band also. Today, Mick Jones continues the legacy of the band with new members and along with Kelly Hansen, lead vocalist, keep the flame alive. Once again, some fans hate the new band because who could ever replace Lou Gramm. To be honest, no one can as no one can replace Steve Perry or Dennis DeYoung or Peter Gabriel or David Lee Roth or Phil Collins. You get my point. At this point, it is what it is. The first cd I love and basically is what I downloaded. I have the other tunes in their classic form and really wasn’t interested in that, but wanted to hear these songs done acoustically and I think Mick and the band have done a fine job here. If you’re a Foreigner fan I really can’t see anything not to like here, unless you’re just prejudiced against a different singer then Lou Gramm. Lou Gramm was the heart of Foreigner as far as the singer, but times change, people change, people move on and Mick, I guess, just wanted to keep playing music. Call it whatever you want as far as the whole release thing with CD 2, but pick up the first cd and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
