Grunge is dead: The oral history of Seatle rock music
Weaving together the definitive story of the Seattle music scene through a series of interviews with the people who were there, this book contains more than 130 interviews, along with essential background information. Digging deeper than other accounts, this history begins in the early 1960s, tracing the chain of events that spawned some of the greatest rock acts of all time in the 1990s, including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden.
Romantic novelist Edith Hope is staying in a hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva, where her friends have advised her to retreat following an unfortunate incident. There she meets other English visitors, including Mrs Pusey and her daughter Jennifer, and an attractive middle-aged man, Mr Neville. Edith reaches Hotel du Lac in a state of bewildered confusion at the turn of events in her life. A secret and often lonely affair with a married man and an aborted marriage later, she is banished by her friends, who advise her to go on "probation" so as to "grow up," and "be a woman," atoning for her mistakes.
The wife of a high-stakes international financier, Nell Calder finds her life shattered when her husband and child are killed and she is disfigured, events that transform her from a quiet, unassuming wife to a determined woman bent on revenge.
Ancient Epic (Blackwell Introductions to the Classical World)
Written primarily for scholars and students, Ancient Epic is nonetheless a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read for those who know little about the old human stories that undergird our Western literature and culture. The introduction provided a beautiful overview of how these six epics related to each other and how they can have high meaning for us today. King has a way of describing the people and events that makes them identifiable and memorable. I was surprised to find myself reading the book as I read a mystery--turning pages to find out what happened next. A good read!
