Reliving the Tribe magic of 1995
I had a great time reading and remembering the great memories Indians fans have of April-October 1995, and the Tribe's first postseason since 1954. Russ Schneider wrote a very good book, and used details very well. A must read for any baseball fan, in particular a Tribe fan.

A great read!
The Greatest Summer Job in the Whole, Wide World is a charming story, filled with excellent characters placed in a glitzy setting. Cal, a naieve young man from Idaho, travels to Lake Tahoe for a summer job. A bright fellow, unaccustomed to the Nevada nightlife, he runs afoul of some shady characters, stumbles into some unusual situations, gender wise, and makes friends in the most unlikely places. Cal lacks wisdom, but the story teller doesn't. Told with humor by a savvy writer, this tale proved to be the most fun I've had reading a book in a long time. The writing is fresh, the content humoruous and the characters memorable. An excellent read!

Published in Paperback by Rutledge Books, Inc. (May, 2001)
Author: Robert J. Booker
Average review score:

VERY INTERESTING
This book was very interesting not only to residents of Knoxville,TN, but to anyone raised in the South. It is still very relavant to the present. No matter how much we as Blacks achieve we are still treated as less than a whole person. It is a must read for our young black generation. History is truly repeating itself.


Helliconia Summer
Published in Unknown Binding by ()
Author: Brian W. Aldiss
Average review score:

One of the best
Continuing his very successful (critcally at least I have no idea how well it sold, though the book trumpets that it's an "international best seller") Helliconia series about a planet with a two thousand year long revolution and two hundred year seasons (give or take), he expands and clarifies all the stuff that happened in the first book, which you don't even need to read to understand. So much time has passed since the first book that everything that happened is mostly the stuff of distorted legend if they even remember it at all. This time around he chooses to focus on one group of people over a period of maybe ten years or so instead of the massive scope of the first book and he proves he can pull off both with ease. Court intrigue, suspense, the slow heating of the planet amidst the politics of the planet, it's all there. And just so you remember that Aldiss is a science-fiction writer, he expands on the notion of Earth watching the planet and shows that they'll have more of a role in the series than you would expect. All in all, incredibly detailed planetbuilding by someone not normally known for that sort of stuff, this is the type of book that people label a "classic" and for good reason. Everything works, even the plot technique of showing us the aftermath of something and then bouncing back in the narrative to show us what happened before (and they passing it at some point, it can get confusing if you're not paying attention) works. Even with the heat and whatnot, Helliconia becomes a place you want to live. I know I do. Criminally this book is out of print, something that should be recitified by someone (listening publishers, this series should not only be available in Britian!) but if you ever find it used, snap it up, it might be hard to find but definitely worth the time spent searching for it.

Hixkaryana and Linguistic Typology (Summer Institute of Linguistics Publications in Linguistics, No 76)
Published in Paperback by Summer Inst of Linguistics (December, 1985)
Author: Desmond C Derbyshire
Average review score:

An interesting book for lingaphiles and linguists.
This book is an interesting study of the structure of Hixkaryana, one of the extremely rare OVS (object-verb-subject) languages. The author covers the inflectional and derivational morphologies of noun, verb, adverb and adjective forms; phenomena particular to discourse; and correlations and major differences between Hixkaryana and the typology of SVO, SOV and VSO languages, along with providing many examples of different types of clauses and compound sentences. The reader will benefit from either an understanding of, or access to, a book explaining some of the less often encountered symbols used in phonology.
