In this outrageous new comedy, playwright Mamet skewers everything from sexuality to the justice system to world peace. In a world where nothing is as it seems, prepare to be offended!

Shock Thestre is not so shocking
Revisado: 05-01-24
Mamet is known for his shock Theatre, so no shock that he’s pulling out all the stops, with the result that the play reads like bathroom graffiti in a seventh grade boys bathroom.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand our toxic culture, and how we got there, but more importantly what we can do about it to help facilitate our living in it, living our best live, our most healthy life.

In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation. In riveting prose, These Truths tells the story of America, beginning in 1492, to ask whether the course of events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 485
Dating to the ninth century BC, Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb Introduction that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.

In the late 1930s, 16-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat lightning - a world where there is no order "save that which death has put there".

Not Cormac’s best.
Revisado: 08-18-23
This really is beating a dead house. (Pun intended!). Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, and now this. Although always compared to W. Faulkner, Wild Bill was not this redundant. Although brilliant, it’s a bit much. I’ve read the rest of McCarthy’s stuff and for the most part, it’s the same old same old. Too bad, he got off to a great start!

Author of the National Book Award-winning All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy is one of the most provocative American stylists to emerge in the last century. The striking novel Blood Meridian offers an unflinching narrative of the brutality that accompanied the push west on the 1850s Texas frontier.

No discussion of great modern authors is complete without mention of Cormac McCarthy, whose rare and blazing talent makes his every work a true literary event. A grand addition to the American literary canon, Suttree introduces readers to Cornelius Suttree, a man who abandons his affluent family to live among a dissolute array of vagabonds along the Tennessee river.

Great book, bad reading
Revisado: 06-14-23
I’ve heard Morrison give a live reading and she was almost totally incomprehensible and after listening to half of this book, I can see why. She pauses several times in a single sentence and works several words with additional pauses. Result, reader loses the emphasis of a sentence. News flash: we use commas for a reason!

This book invented the genre of New Journalism and is deserving of its status as a classic. Great story telling and great characterizations, especially the psychological profiles. This is also a terrific reading. Very good production!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of the most extraordinary - and important - texts in Western philosophy. It was written by Friedrich Nietzsche between 1883 and 1885. He cast it in the form of a novel in the hope that his urgent message of the 'death of God' and the rise of the superman (Ubermensch) would have greater emotional as well as intellectual impact.

At times revelatory, insightful and brilliant, at other times incoherent gibberish. His concept of the “higher man” is insidious and malicious.
