I bought this book just for the recipes!
I found this great book that not only explains basic wine making but provides fabulous food recipes that make people think you have slaved in the kitchen. My favorites are Rich's Turkey, Strawberry Kiwi Salad and Hazelnut Pie.


The Critical Writings of James Joyce
Published in Paperback by Cornell Univ Pr (September, 1989)
Authors: Ellsworth Mason, Richard Ellman, James Joyce, and Richard Ellmann
Average review score:

Joyce with the gloves off
Old but still worthy of respect, this is a collection of most of the works by James Joyce that could reasonably be described as Critical. Here we see Joyce in many guises - youthful literary hack, angry old man protesting against breach of copyright, and above all explainer of Irish and English culture to the Italians. The most fascinating pieces in the book are a series of lectures Joyce gave in Italian on the subjects of Irish history, James Clarence Mangan, William Blake and diverse other topics. Those who've attempted to claim Joyce as an apolitical webmaster or conservative elitist (I'm talking to you, Roger Scruton) are in for a shock. His socialism and proto-post-colonialist sense of historical injustice are in full display.

These are, to be sure, the kind of thing you read not because you're interested in the subjects under discussion (who, apart from elderly Irish poets, cares about James Clarence Mangan?) but because you're interested in what Joyce has to say about them. All his criticism is of the strategic rather than tactical kind, the kind of criticism certain writers engage in so as to clear the ground for their own efforts. He's no John Updike, prepared to write 2000 words about anybody he happens to find interesting.

Apart from a vacuous introduction by Guy Davenport, this is a fascinating book. I'm sure it's far from complete, seeing as nobody can even agree about where Joyce's books stop and his drafts begin, but it'll do until time and decay simplify the picture. Joyce is the great pathfinder of modern Irish writing. Hail to the Chief.


Deadly Paradise
Published in Paperback by Gold Medal (October, 1996)
Author: Vicki Mason White
Average review score:

Great!
This is an adventuresome book. Entertaining until the very end. Ms. White does a great job and continues to do so in her second book.


Death on Her Doorstep (G K Hall Nightingale Series)
Published in Paperback by Thorndike Pr (Largeprint) (March, 2003)
Author: Sarah J. Mason
Average review score:

Great Story, wonderful dog
In Death On Her Doorstep, you get to meet a Schipperke dog. Skipper, as he is called, is a most enchanting canine. If you have never met a Schipperke before, you will get a most accurate depiction in this book.
The book made me miss my beloved Dougal all the more. He behaved very much like Skipper.
Sarah J. Mason can always be counted on for clever plots and well-placed clues, but usually she keeps me guessing right up to the end.
This is a nice, cozy story and will appeal to a large audience.


The Deep Gods
Published in Paperback by Wildside Press (December, 1999)
Author: David Mason
Average review score:

David Mason Returns!
David Mason is one of the best Sci Fi writers I have encountered. Unfortunately, his publisher went out of business and books like "Kavin's World" and "The Sorcerer's Skull" etc. disapeared from the markets. How nice to see them in print again! Buy them all! "The Deep Gods" cover a time when man and the sea animals spoke together and shared the earth. I highly recommend David Mason's works!


Deja Doo

Authors: Bill Allen, Mason Anderson, Rick Grant, Gary Jonas, Selina Rosen, Bradley Sinor, Nathan Stimmel, Lynn Stranathan, Brand Whitlock, and Anthology
Average review score:

Wild and Crazy Fun
I have to say, this is a wonderful mix of fright and fun and just some really off the wall humor tossed in. There are a lot of tasty little tales in this collection, something for everyone.


Eagle Down
Published in Paperback by Kensington Pub Corp (Mass Market) (July, 1985)
Author: William Mason
Average review score:

Another winner for William Johnstone.
This book is over looked by most people, but if you ever get the chance to read it you will know right away who the Author was. William Johnstone has a style of his own. The other book by this author""Dagger"" is also well worth the search. Both are great books in their own right. But try to find a copy....Good luck.

Everybody's Somebody's Lunch (Teacher's Guide): The Role of Predator and Prey in Nature
Published in Paperback by Tilbury House Publishers (June, 2003)
Authors: Cherie Mason, Judy Kellogg Markowsky, Rosemary Giebfried, and Judy Kellogg
Average review score:

Highly informative book filled with engaging activities
As an elementary school teacher, I was thrilled to discover this unique book, filled with child-tested activities that would enhance any nature/science curriculum. These activities, which focus on the vital role predators play in nature, are multisensory (one of my favorites is making paper wings that approximate the wingspan of a bird of prey) and cross-disciplinary (using math skills to see how quickly prey species grow or to figure out how many voles a coyote eats in a week -- 126!). All the information is clear and thorough and the authors include listings of useful resources.
