[ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
This album, with the 23 minutes long epic "Supper's Ready", is a spectacular
example of the visionary nature of 70's symphonic rock. From 1969 to 1975 the style of Genesis
was driven by the acoustic based guitar ideas of Anthony Phillips
(even though Phillips quit after Trespass was recorded, his guitar style would be
used by the band for the next five albums). Each of the albums from this period (Trespass,
Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Live,
Selling
England By The Pound) has its own unique character and brilliance, with
keyboardist Tony Banks emerging more and more as the new dominant musical force within the
band. Genesis = pure magic. Absolute
"must".
Best authors of the 20th Century
George MacDonald FRASER: Flashman
Macdonald Fraser wrote a series of books following the rise, fall and sidestep of the lovable misogynist, blackguard, cheater, liar, adulterer and above all coward 19th Century Englishman named Harry Flashman. The reader is offered an humorous account of London Society and the British military.
Flashman:
From the Flashman Papers, 1839-1842
Flashman for Freedom George MacDonald Fraser aids Flashman in his rewriting of 19th Century history and teases us with glimpses of the famous (Lincoln, Harriet Beecher Stowe) while reminding us of the horrors of the slave trade.
Flashman at the
Charge A terrific novel! Where else (in your reading) can you have a
rip-roaring good time, yet be encouraged to learn more about the (ludicrous) Crimean War
and the Russian expansion into Central Asia? And how Flashman survives the charge of the
Light Brigade...
Flashman and the
Redskins Those familiar with the Flashman series by George MacDonald Fraser
will vastly enjoy this offering which spans the anti-hero's escapades across the American
west in 1849, and again in 1876. Fraser proves himself the master of comedic dialogue,
both internal (as Flashy ponders his latest predicament) and with various notables of the
period. The terrified Flashman's conversation with the Apache chief Mangas Colorado is one
jewel that stands out among the many in this work.
Flashman and the
Dragon One of the benefits of reading George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman books
is that, along with top-flight entertainment, you get a thorough grounding in odd bits of
historical lore. Of the 10 books in the series thus far, Flashman and the
Dragon offers one of the most intriguing settings, and the description of the
British sacking of the Summer Palace is memorable.
Flashman and the
Mountain of Light :From the Flashman Papers, 1845-46
Sir Harry Flashman is back in India, where his saga began. This time, our hero is sent by
Her Majesty's Secret Service to spy on the corrupt court of Lahore, on India's Northwest
Frontier. Flashy's most challenging exploit yet is as politically shrewd and thoroughly
lewd as ever.
For the literati this book's theme is the corrupting influence of power and the difference
between heros and villains. For the rest of us, Flashy gives us a good laugh.
Flashman's Lady In this
adventure, Harry is the victim of someone's lust and deviltry for a change--in the form of
Suleiman Usman, a half-breed pirate who kidnaps Mrs. Flashman (bugger!) halfway around the
world, leading to an epic chase involving a half-mad white rajah and a maniacal Malagasay
queen. Fraser's witty prose and flawless research are irresistible.
Flashman in
the Great Game One of literature's most delightful rakes is back in another
tale of rollicking adventure and tantalizing seduction. The plucky Flashman's latest
escapades are sure to entertain devotees as well as attract new aficionados.

Sci-Fi
"As a musician in Pella's finest brothel, Ander thought he knew all about sex between men. He was wrong. Two visitors, handsome young lovers, draw him irresistibly to a revelation: intense pleasure can be a gateway to magical realms, and sex is the key that opens the gate..." (192 pp.- From Leyland Publications)

by Rudy Rucker
- "In the twenty-first century, humanity and various artificial life-forms coexist. The heritagists (humans) on earth and the loonie moldies (plastic-based beings) on the moon are both extremists, and each denies the ultimate worth of the other, but for the most part, humans and moldies live in relative peace, at least in Santa Cruz, where Terri and Tre Dietz run a motel with their moldie friends, Monique and Xlotl. . . But no plot summary can do justice to Rucker's apocalyptically cheerful world. Suffice it to say that the loonies try to liberate their moldie siblings on earth, the heritagists try to rid earth of moldies, and everyone tries to control the Perplexing Poultry and the Tessellation Equations to gain power over the other life-forms. Disaster always looms and is occasionally skirted by Rucker's all-too-human (regardless of species) characters. Wacky action gets you tangled in Rucker's yarn, but the brilliance with which he plays with ideas keeps you reading." (Dennis Winters, Booklist)
- The FOURTH
DIMENSION: A Guided Tour of the Higher Universe by Rudy Rucker
This book is very informative and educational and will provide insights into higher dimensional spaces not only to the layman, but to researchers hoping to get a better feel for the subject. A well-written book about what a 4D Universe would be like, and delves a bit into Einsteinian spacetime.

A sweetly innocent Polish rabbi (Gene Wilder) travels through 1850's America, and forms an uneasy alliance with an inept outlaw bank robber (Harrison Ford). There are few movies that can give you a chuckle when your in a rut and put you in a better mood when your happy - this movie is one of them.
