25 reviews
Peter McWilliams, John-Roger

Prelude Press, 1995

Easy read with great results
I never thought of myself as a negative thinker but after reading this very funny, interesting and helpful book I now understand. Yes, I am a negative thinker but I don't have to remain so. This wonderful book explains what a negative thought is, how to evaluate your thinking and the best part, how to stop that distructive process. This book is filled with thought provoking quotes, easy to ...

Civil War (Marvel Comics)

Mark Millar

Marvel Comics, 2007

Best Marvel Event since... ever!
Before i read Civil war, i followed some marvel titles like Daredevil, Astonishing X-men and New Avengers, but was mostly interested in DC titles. Once i read Civil War, i havent lost interest in the whole landscape of the Marvel Universe, its just so exciting and the whole "anything can happen" feel through it is the reason i read comics. Civil War is not only an outstanding story by itself, but ...

Prelude to Foundation (Foundation Novels)

115 reviews
Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1989

Asimov's greatest
This book was written 25 years after the others in the series, and Asimov's writing skills had obviously matured and improved. He was a master writer in his 20's but he continued to get better. The characters in this work are more believable, and in this book he incorporated a very interesting surprise at the end. Asimov earned all the tributes reviewers have given him through the years.

The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes

Neil Gaiman

Vertigo, 1993

5 Reason for 5 Stars
This piece of fiction is one of my favorites of any genre, not just graphic novels or comics. Sandman is compelling and original in its characters especially in the way Neil Gaiman weaves myth and traditions into an unfolding scene. There are very few books I can read or movies I watch were I can't either predict what will happen next or predict the end. With Sandman Preludes I couldn't predict ...

Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs)

3 reviews

W. W. Norton, 2005

The Standard
If you're a music student at almost any major school (I just finished my undergraduate at Indiana University, for example) you'll most likely need to take a course that uses these CD's as part of its history survey. For that purpose, this set is an excellent collection. These, with their companion Norton Anthology of Western Music, and in conjunction with Grout/Palisca's History of Western ...

The Road to Civil War (Spider-Man, Fantastic Four)

Marvel Comics, 2007

Marvel's "Illuminati"
You know, this is just a great book, a great story leading up to another great story arc, and a cataclysmic event for the Marvel Universe. And really, who else would it be other than these men (Xavier, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Namor, Black Bolt, and Black Pather--did I forget anyone). They may not be your favorites, but who else would be on this council?

Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson

Spectra, 2002

A grand conclusion
This section of the the pre-dune set really ties things together well and keeps you involved in everything leading up to Frank's original book. I couldn't put it down.

House Harkonnen (Dune: House Trilogy, Book 2)

Brian Herbert, Kevin Anderson

Spectra, 2001

Great Book!
I think that Brian did an exceptional job on this book. I've reall the entire trilogy and thoroughlly enjoyed it. The 1st 2 were my favourites though.

William Wordsworth - The Major Works: including The Prelude (Oxford World's Classics)

6 reviews
William Wordsworth

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Wordsworth often mis-represented
Those readers of poetry who discount Wordsworth as merely a poet who "worships" Nature and holds emotion over rational thought are giving him only a shallow reading and relying on the obvious. When Wordsworth's work is read as a whole, and in context with his contemporaries and historical events, then one can begin to appreciate the depth and significance of the philosophical thought behind his ...

Do It! Let's Get Off Our Buts

Peter McWilliams

Prelude Press, 1994

A guide to living your dreams!
If you're not living your dreams, this book will help you discover WHY NOT, HOW to get moving without excuses and HOW to build for success. How good is this book? Buy it, open it up at random and just see if it doesn't begin to give you that needed jolt of lightening to get you off your "but" (your excuses) that keep the doors and windows from opening! This is one of the most powerful books ...

Paddy's Lament, Ireland 1846-1847: Prelude to Hatred

18 reviews
Thomas Gallagher

Harvest Books, 1987

What I didn't learn in high school...
I am not an expert on Irish history or even particularly well-read about it, but this book caught my attention. Actually, my interest had been sparked by a song by Sinead O'Connor titled "Famine" and its claim that there "never really was one." Her point was that there was enough food for the Irish but that it was sent to England while the Irish starved. It was a good song but left me wondering ...

Vienna Prelude (Zion Covenant, Book 1)

32 reviews
Bodie Thoene, Brock Thoene

Tyndale House Publishers, 2005

Fantastic Series. A real eye opener.
This book is a real eye opener if you are interested in WWII, but don't want to watch boring documentaries or read boring text books about it. It brings it to life. Charlotte Mason would have called this a "living book". Historically acurate history written in story format. There are 9 in the series, and all are worth the read.

C A T A C L Y S M !
Gotham City. The Dark Knight. The innocent populace. The venal and the corrupt villains. And a 7.6 earthquake. This is the story of Batman's darkest hour as he and his fellow vigilantes desperately rush out to salvage what's left of their beloved city after a devastating earthquake, which killed thousands and left many more wishing they had died with the rest.

Incredible Hulk: Prelude to Planet Hulk

14 reviews
Daniel Way, Keu Cha

Marvel Comics, 2006

Planet Hulk - :-) :-) :-) :-)
This book was one of the best "Hulk" stories I've read in years. Beyond great art and great dialogue, it shows a real range of thought and emotion from the hulk, much more than what's normally covered in the average comic, cartoon series, t.v. show or even feature film. It begs the question, have Hulk and Banner begun to reconcile their odd relationship? I can't wait for World War Hulk!

The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

25 reviews
Friedrich Nietzsche

Vintage, 1974

THE FAVOURITE: JOY THANKS TO LUCIDITY
For the admirers of Nietzsche and those who love to read him, "The Gay Science" is somehow their FAVOURITE BOOK. In this work the hughe, great German philosopher and psychologist (honour to whom it deserves!) confronts us with a rather fleet-footed, almost "dancing" way of writing about his eternal themes that never ever have left his thoughts, his way of thinking and his brilliant pen. HERE is ...

Peter McWilliams

Prelude Press, 1994

Life 101: Everything We Wish We Had Learned About Life in School --But Didn't
This is an easy to read book full of fun quotes and profound wisdom. It tells us a lot about ourselves and guides us in dealing with the world and others. I have read it twice and have enjoyed the audio tapes when on a trip. It's a real upper.

Complete Preludes and Etudes-Tableaux

6 reviews
Serge Rachmaninoff

Dover Publications, 1988

Great music, accurate edition, great price.
This book has given me countless evenings of entertainment. Rachmaninoff's preludes and etudes offer a very wide variety of styles and colors over a wide range of difficulty. Intermediate piano students will benefit greatly from learning some of the less challenging preludes and etudes, as these pieces prove indispensable ways to develop a good singing tone and a good ear for bringing out ...
