         Rupert Thomson - Book of Revelation Book of Revelation

A novel from a cult writer. A strange, disturbing tale. In Amsterdam, a dancer-choreographer, on his way to purchase a pack of cigarettes, is abducted by three hooded women who keep him chained in a room for 18 days. While their prisoner, he is subjected to various humiliations and painful experiences, including rape and tattooing. 

         Twentieth Century J.M. Roberts - Twentieth Century History of the World, 1901 to the 2000.

The unrivaled World History of our day, unbelievably accurate. British historian J. M. Roberts is an undisputed master of his craft. His classic History of the World has sold more than a quarter million copies worldwide.

          'Tis by Frank McCourt tis.gif (11428 bytes)

'Tis is a compelling memoir of an immigrant's life in midcentury America. The sequel to Frank McCourt's memoir of his Irish Catholic boyhood, Angela's Ashes, picks up the story in October 1949, upon his arrival in America. What makes McCourt a great storyteller is his ability to give his pages just the right amount of humor and perspective.

         

Richard Brautigan - Trout Fishing in America, The Pill Versus the Springhill Mind Desaster and In Watermelon Sugar (3 books in 1)
Brautigan speaks great truths through metaphor and symbolism. As Captain Beefheart or Tom Waits are to popular music, so is Brautigan to literature. He is a sort of Hemingway with a playful sense of humor. By the by... the novel Trout Fishing in America  has almost nothing to do with fishing.

Mystery & Thrillers

            Personal Injuries by Scott TUROW  Scott Turow
The story is fast paced and thought provoking. Turow has a wonderful ear for dialogue. He uses the word "hinky" twice in the book. Now that's a real Chicago word.

All of Scott Turow's novels have been major international bestsellers. A former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, where he is a pertner in the law firm of Sonnenschein, Nath, and Rosenthal, he is currently teaching fiction writing at Northwestern University.

  Two Much by Donald E. Westlake

"MAN cannot live by Proust alone, which is why it is a pleasure to note the publication of Donald E. Westlake's latest mystery. Nobody would call Mr. Westlake profound, but he is always droll and always professional, and there are few more agreeable ways to while away a long commute than watching him dream up a half-dozen unlikely-sounding crooks and put them through their paces.

Like P. G. Wodehouse, a writer whom he resembles rather more than slightly, Mr. Westlake is at his best in his series books: the Parker novels (written under the tongue-in-cheek pen name Richard Stark), which feature a tungsten-hard professional burglar who specializes in infallible plans; and the Dortmunder novels, in which the premise of the Parker novels is ingeniously transplanted to a parallel universe where the not-so-tough guys are forever tripping over their own feet, and the hero's infallible plans, in a word, aren't. But Mr. Westlake's one-shot comic mysteries, like Wodehouse's non-series farces, are also very much worth reading." (New York Times)

           Trust Me On This by Donald E. Westlake

A devastating tirade against the supermarket tabloids. 8 Audio Cassettes. Read by Nicki van Gieson.

Architecture

          Twin Towers: The Life of New York City's World Trade Center

As the Statue of Liberty is known around the world as the symbol of America and freedom, the Twin Towers were recognized around the world as the symbol of America and power. Angus Gillespie's Twin Towers sneaks the reader past security to see what it really took to create these modern day monuments to human greatness.


Jazz, Classical

                               Between jazz and classic music

          Tangerine Dream - Mars Polaris

Tangerine Dream - Zeit
Thanks to the big-selling soundtracks for in-planetarium dozing which they recorded for Virgin in the mid-'70s (Ricochet, Stratosfear etc), Tangerine Dream are hardly credited as Krautrock pioneers in the same league as Can or Faust. If you are a fan of such works as Brian Eno's Descreet Music or Music for Films, Zeit will fit nicely between those two in your CD changer.

Hits

         TRAVIS - Good Feeling Travis

"In a world which deems it impossible to be all things to all people, Good Feeling manages to make you laugh, sing, cry, dance, hurt, and, yeah, rock..." (Melody Maker, 9/13/97)

            TRAVIS - The Man Who Travis

"There is no design for life / There's no devil's haircut in my mind / There is not a wonderwall to climb or step around."

A wonderful CD. It goes from happy up-tempo songs to slow ballads. Travis have developed from the Britpop also-rans of their debut, Good Feeling, into gifted pop craftsmen inhabiting a more suitably tired, lonely, lovelorn niche.

James Taylor - Greatest Hits
Everybody knows Taylor's "You'Ve Got a Friend". Here, still more beautiful hits like "Carolina in My Mind" (in a newly recorded version) and "Steamroller", which let us repute James Taylor as one of the best minstrels of the pop age.

Temptations -Anthology : The Best of Temptations (2 discs) The Temptations The Motown Sound at the edge of its glory.

 
Trainspotting - Soundtrack The...TRAINSPOTTING album is like one long, druggy crawl through the U.K. underground, taking in subterranean techno, dance music and the pop daydreams of bands like Pulp and Blur. It's SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER for the XTS generation... Including Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" and Iggy Pop's "Nightclubbing".
