Incredible fine and contemplative music from Portugal, Europe, Planet Earth

             Enya - The Memory of Trees Enya
The combination of Gaelic, English and Latin lyrics makes listening a one of a kind experience.
"Anywhere Is", "Pax Deorum" and "Hope Has a Place" are just some of her best songs, and all three are on this album. Songs like "China Roses" and "Hope Has a Place" complement the simple elegance of traditional folk music with luxuriantly layered instrumentation and highly crafted studio production.

Best books of the 20th Century

            Dave Eggers Dave Eggers - A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius

At the age of 22, Eggers became both an orphan and a "single mother" when his parents died within five months of one another of unrelated cancers. In the ensuing sibling division of labor, Dave is appointed unofficial guardian of his 8-year-old brother, Christopher... Cathartic, poignant, and brilliant.

 

                       The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe

Tom Wolfe - The Electric Kool..."The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is not simply the best book on the hippies, it is the book...the pushing, ballooning heart of the matter...Vibrating dazzle!"
(Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times)

"Among journalists, Wolfe is a genuine poet; what makes him so good is his ability to get inside, to not merely describe (although he is a superb reporter), but to get under the skin of a phenomenon and transmit its metabolic rhythm." (Newsweek)

"The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is an amazing book...A book that definitely gives Wolfe the edge on the non-fiction novel." (Village Voice)

"A Day-Glo book; illuminating, merry, surreal!" (The Washington Post)

"Some consider Mailer our greatest journalist; my candidate is Wolfe."
(Studs Terkel, BookWeek)

            The Complete Enderby  by Anthony Burgess (4 books in 1)


SF Bestsellers

         Eater by Gregory Benford EATER by Gregory Benford
A SF-novel full of astronomical pyrotechnics and  intellectual verbal fencing. Will the aliens destroy our planet?

Great Benford (The Martian Race) does it again. Eater is another example that great science fiction has not died.

           Eclipse Eclipse (A Song Called Youth - Book 1)

                           Eclipse Penumbra (A Song Called Youth - 2)

                        Eclipse Corona (A Song Called Youth - 3)

John Shirley's trilogy is vivid and exciting... thick with characters, sensation and imagery. A kaleidoscopic mix of politics, pop, and paranoid. Hard to put down.

1969. Two motorcyclists (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) embark on a coast-to-coast freewheeling journey in search of "real America", encountering along the way the many faces of its big cities and small towns, a hippie commune, drugs, and sex in a New Orleans bawdy house. A young Jack Nicholson poignantly displays an intelligent man living in a simple minded society. Easy Rider is more than just a film, it is a statement of a time and place. It is one of the few American films that encompasses an entire collective viewpoint of the turbulent time period of the 60s. Quite a documentation, with a great rock soundtrack that includes The Byrds, The Band, Steppenwolf and Jimi Hendrix. Academy Award Nominations: Best Supporting Actor Jack Nicholson, Best Original Story and Screenplay.
