The Waste Land and Other Poems
5 of 5 stars
The Waste Land and Other Poems
by T.S. Eliot
I've read (and listened to) this collection of poems half a dozen times. THE WASTE LAND is, without a doubt, still my favourite. It's hard to understand, pompous at times and so dense with allusions to other works I lose track of what's ...
A New Look at Mercury Retrograde
5 of 5 stars
A New Look at Mercury Retrograde
by Robert Wilkinson
Veteran astrologer Robert Wilkinson brings his authentic wisdom to bear in this look at the dreaded Mercury Retrograde. Wilkinson covers topics ranging from an introduction to Mercury; what Mercury Retrograde means; he explores the "ba...
Collected Ghost Stories
4 of 5 stars
Collected Ghost Stories
by M.R. James
Written in a more innocent and graceful era, MR James's ghost stories are subtle, with very polite and, at times, utterly chilling ghosts. I enjoyed most of them, with some of the stories giving me delicious goosebumps (The Ash Tree, N...

Powerful characters make for intense emotion. Couple that with riveting prose and a looming war in Jacobite England, and you have a magical historical romance novel. Duran certainly knows how to weave a spell with her story telling. Su...

Save the Lion

Save the Lion
In the past 50 years, the lion population has declined by 95%. Help save the lion for "What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected." (Chief Seattle 1780 - 1866)
