An "A1" Murder Mystery!
Our Young Adults pastor and his wife recently organized this event for our young adults group at our church. This isn't a book, but an interactive mystery game, where each or the participants were guests at Vold Castle for a dinner. A murder is committed and each guest is a suspect. As participants, you interact with the others and try to solve "who dun it?". This turned out to be a four hour event that was reminiscent of staring in a old 30's movie, complete with costumes and props! Great fun and it had a strong Bible lesson interwoven within! Cheers to Pastor Shean and his Wife Angie who organized this event.

Grant's "Memoirs" and Memories of Lee in one nice Gift Book
This is a lavishly illustrated abridgement of Grant's wonderful "Personal Memoirs" and of Confederate Officer Armistead Long's "Memoirs of Robert E. Lee", two of the major works of the Civil War (Lee never did get around to writing his own memoirs).

While it must be stressed that this is an abridgement, and the actual volumes themselves are worth purchasing on their own, especially Grant's, the clear text and the extraordinary and realistic illustrations makes this volume a perfect gift for the Civil War buff this holiday season, or a worthy addition to one's own Civil War Library even if you already have the separate volumes - as I do.


The essence of Bruckner : an essay towards the understanding of his music

Clarifies this Enigmatic symphonist
Shame this is out of print. Simpson was annotator,promoter at The BBC. He is a composer himself of large scale symphonies.

Bruckner has long been an enigmatic creator, a late bloomer,spending years in pedagogical subjection of counterpoint.And his oefish,awkward demeanor gave a false impression to those who surrounded him,usually less talented unclairvoyant scholars who sought the necessity to revise his symphonies. Simpson here scours these giant symphonic boulders one by one,revealing where a great rupture takes place,where Bruckner's symphonic vision begins to look outward,beginning with the Fifth Symphony. Although the D-minor Third begins this transmogrification of vision. Bruckner looked well beyond the shadow of Beethoven,not utilizing that aesthetic pallette of pent up momentums,and overwrought festering movements that get resolved. Instead the Bruckner movement in fact doesn't move,there is no forward moving implication, we must simply withstand the overbearing presence of each movement in its own right,within its own oceanic spaces. Simpson is a good writer and brings some literary image to the outside gestural features, as his machine-like repetitive conconctions, its moments which simply begin and end mindlessly at times,as the various variegated Scherzi. You need the score I found to read Simpson for he does drag us through these symphonies as a callable narrative,moment to moment,step by step,(not quite note for note) inch by inch. This can get tedious,but that is what was the usual fare of musical analysis. Now hopefully there are those essays which introduce more social and political dimensions to the creation of art.

Further Adventures
Just got my copy of Roberts's sequel and first impression of it is good. It covers lot of newer Simpsons merchandise, including Global Fan Fest Promo material and first wave of Playmates toys but also older stuff I haven't seen yet. Photos are clear and sharp.

If you allready own Robert W. Getz first book, this is nice sequel to it!

Love to see possible third book done by same author.

well worth the read
This beautifully-produced historical account of the tobacco industry in the Pee Dee region of SC stayed in the pile of books on my bedside table for about a month before it finally cycled to the top. Having received the book as a present, I was mildly curious when I picked it up. "OK," I thought, as I began what I believed would be, at best, a cursory examination, "it's a history book." What a pleasant surprise I received! I was immediately drawn in to the story by the eloquent writing style of the authors and the appropriate use of southern expressions. I felt as if I was experiencing the frustration and the joy of the tobacco farmers as they labored to bring in the crop in this unique region of the country. I found each of the illustrations in the book to be clearly presented and to closely fit the part of the story being told. Within a short period of time after beginning my reading, I began going to bed early to allow myself more reading time. Since I only adopt that reading behavior for the page-turners, I knew then I was hooked! My interest continued right on through the cogent explanation of the structure of the tobacco-subsidy system and finally to the conclusion and the insightful comments of the authors regarding the future of the tobacco industry. I wish to thank Prince & Simpson for their intelligent coverage of a complex part of American culture. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in real southern culture, and not that fake, hick Hollywood version so often portrayed in movies, and for anyone interested in really knowing what the tobacco industry is about.


Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma Book Four: Lesser Evil

A terrific end to the saga...spoilers alert......
This one concludes with lots of things for Col. Kira to overcome. The conspiracy episode from Next Generation rears it's ugly head. Remember those parasites? They are back this time to wreck what might have ment Bajor joining the Federation. Lots of surprises in this one where things don't end as you expect. And to top it all off it leads to the Defiant finding Jake. The story leads to the next book in the series "Rising Son"..... It's written by what I call the new lead writer of the Star Trek book series ...S.D. Perry...

With all this going on we find out that Quark has an attraction to Ro Lauren. Remember her from Next Generation as Ensign Ro?

The Story of Simpson and Sampson
This the favorite of all of the books that my mother read to me when I was a young girl.

It opens with in a setting during the days of knights and castles. Two twin baby boys are born, one was evil from the start and the other was pure and good. The pictures of the babies in their cradles, portrayed the destinies of each child. Showing Simpson content and sleeping and Sampson throwing toys and screaming. The story unfolds as they grow up and tells of their acts of evil and goodness. The illustrations are creatively done in a way that makes you feel drawn to become a part of this story written so captivating to young minds.
