Out of Sheer Rage: Wrestling With D.H. Lawrence
| Author | Geoff Dyer |
| ISBN | 0865475407 |

The problem was, he had no idea what his "Lawrence book" would be, though he was determined to write a "sober academic study." Luckily for the reader, he failed miserably.Out of Sheer Rage...
| Author | James Branch Cabell |
| ISBN | 0345280725 |
as my compulsive consumption of cabell continues (this has been in my purse a month now and this is my third re-read), i have been alerted to the fact that i am reading these books "out of order" though it hardly seems to matter. i will say that it seems the more you read cabell, the more intertextualities...

"This is the best—the glorious best—of Lewis. For here, with the gemlike beauty and hardness that poetry alone can achieve, are his ideas about the nature of things that lay behind his writings."—Christianity Today
Known worldwide for his fiction and philosophical essays, C.S. Lewis...
| Author | Rudyard Kipling |
| ISBN | 1853261599 |
Maybe a 3.5. Excellent story telling; the poems left me cold, except the joy in finding an old favorite--"If you can keep your mind when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you"--as the opening line to "If".
Another good line "I reckon there's more things told than are true, And more...
| Author | E.R. Eddison |
| ISBN | 0345272218 |
OK, this one is also complicated ... Not so much the broad strokes of the story, this time, though; rather, it's the structure of the book. Unfortunately, Eddison died before completing it; fortunately, he did leave enough notes to allow the book to be understandable even in partial form. Apparently,...

ORIGINAL ANTHOLOGY featuring rollicking, tongue-in-cheek tales of women warrior fighting against the stodgy and in the name of freedom of expression, Chicks in Chainmail style!

The Ballad of the White Horse is one of the last great epic poems in the English language. On the one hand it describes King Alfred's battle against the Danes in 878. On the other hand it is a timeless allegory about the ongoing battle between Christianity and the forces of nihilistic heathenism. Filled...
Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451
| Author | Harold Bloom |
| ISBN | 0791059294 |
Back in my undergraduate days I was lucky enough to hear Ray Bradbury speak in person. (He was a keynote speaker at a conference for college newspaper staffers). He was so funny and so inspirational that decades later I still have the notes I took during his speech and during the workshop the next day. This...
The Children of Hurin / The Silmarillion / Unfinished Tales
| Author | J.R.R. Tolkien |
| ISBN | 0007309376 |
A fleshed-out version of the events that happen in a few chapters of The Silmarillion. Since it covers an unrelentingly bad time in Middle-Earth (no happy ending) it may not be for everyone. Tolkien descends from the loftier point of view of The Silmarillion into a more intimate mode of storytelling....
