Kara Ford karaleighford — This is a great book for teaching Shakespeare to students who have never read Old English before. The page on the right has the modern text while the page on the left has the Old English. Great for making comparisons and easing them into it.

Xian Jin 84424538824e0 — As a teen, I read the Buchanan series almost religiously. I can remember purchasing the books as they came out and wondering why Jonas Ward never wrote any others. Okay, I picked up a copy at a used book sale and one of the first things that happened was I happened to look at the copyright page, noting the 1960 year and it appeared that the copyright was owned by Eileen Ard, a woman. This was disconcerting to me, so I ran an internet search to find out who she was... SHOCK!!!!!! I ran across a page where the renowned Science Fiction author (among other stuff) Robert Silverberg stated that he had written the last part (final chapter) of this particulare novel after the death of William Ard, who bagan the series. From there, I discovered that the reaminder of the series had been written by other authors using the Jonas Ward Pen Name. Brian Garfield, perhaps most famous for "Death Wish" was the author of "Buchanan's Gun" and prolific Western Author Willaim R. Cox wrote the remaining novels. As I read this novel, I wondered why I had ever really liked it. It is corny pulp western at its corniest and pulpiest. By the end of the third chapter, Buchanan has killed a whole bunch of guys. My recollection of Buchanan is a drifter who tried to avoid trouble (keeping his gun in his saddlebag most of the time) who was amiable. In this instance, he starts out that way, but turns into a character who, once he is crossed, goes out of his way to wreck vengeance on the offending party. He is gravely wounded, but even though he is stabbed and shot, manages to get out of bed and go down and track the bad guys in a ridiculous conclusion. Did I enjoy it? Despite its basic plot and lack of realism-- (more people die in this novel than in the real life Lincoln County War) the speech patterns, slang, and cowpoke colloquialisms kept me turning pages. The wit of the hero and the folks he joins up with was clever. The wrap up? Awful! Stupid! Rushed! Will I read the other books of this series I picked up at the same time. YOU BET!

高 扶风 gaofufeng — Lance Henriksen has lived a difficult, crazy, and often exciting life, and more than qualifies for his own biography/autobio. I had the chance to meet Mr. Henriksen at a horror film convention this past summer, and he was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. I don't normally get too fan-boy-ish about meeting actors and whatnot, but as one of my favorites since I was kid, since my first viewing of "Aliens," it was a real pleasure to shake his hand and get his autograph. The book is good. The pages fly pretty quickly, and the reader gets a good idea of where Lance's head was when he made some of these films, and where he is now, looking back on a life filled with achievements and some pretty big obstacles (i.g. being thrown in the naval rig, having no reading skills whatsoever, well into his twenties). The book is written in a manner that allows Henriksen's co-author to provide the bio, the narrative, taking frequent breaks for paragraphs in Henriksen's own words. It's an interesting style, and one I haven't seen before in biographies, but I'm not completely sold on it. I think I would have enjoyed it a little more if the whole thing had been written as a bio or an autobio. When authors put out autobios with a co-author, it doesn't make it any less of a biography, and that kind of straight-forward writing makes for a more seemless read. That isn't to say hearing these anecdotes and thoughts coming directly from Henriksen isn't rewarding. He talks like a regular person, like someone you might get a beer with; a regular, ordinary guy who's had a pretty incredible life.
