Colton Parker is a very likable character, his character is strong , and he has a lot of faults which makes him likable, but don't we all, I will ...

The Sage speaks through the tarot...
I refer to Ms. Pollack's brillant book, Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom, time and time again. It gives wonderful sight to the seeker, and speaks of the timeless connections to God & Universe through the study of the tarot. There is an eloquence in her writing that make for several AHA! moments, just great!!!

Designs of the Seventies
Tom Tierney has recreated the designer fashions of the seventies in the paper doll book. If you love haute couture, you'll love this book (it doesn't feature the street or pop star fashion of the era). The dolls resemble two of the most famous models of the decade, Beverly Johnson and Cheryl Tiegs (although this isn't mentioned in the notes), giving the book more authenticity. The seventies ...

Yes Witty, But Far Far More
I bought this book for an older friend turning 70, and -- laughing out loud -- read it before wrapping. It's not only witty (and thoughtful) for those turning 70, but for those of us who will someday reach 70, and have friends of 70. Sometimes I feel I have grown up with Judith Viorst. She is enough older that her age milestone books are out and available before I turn 30, 40 50, and on. I ...

Fascinating Read
I have always enjoyed books about mysterious events of the past, unknown civilizations, strange happenings, etc. This book is full of such items. The Seventy Great Mysteries of the Ancient World looks at some of these mysteries through the eyes of modern archaeology and other sciences to try to resolve at least some of the questions surrounding them. Each item is subjected to a scientific ...

if you love surfing...& even if you do not...
this is an amazing book- some of the best surf pictures (in my opinion) during one of the most visually inspiring era's of surfing. the pages are arranged in such a way so as to not distract you from their content, the printing is awesome and there's not a single shot not worthy of a poster size above your bed. this book will not harsh your mellow- it will make you want to move to lucadia, ride ...

Seventy-Seven Clocks: A Bryant & May Mystery (Bryant & May Mysteries)

Christopher Fowler
Bantam
, 2005
A quaint mystery of the old school type
Although the book is a recent release (relatively), the plot takes place in 1973, which Fowler uses to good effect in creating atmosphere. Bryant & May, the main characters, are old-school English detectives in charge of the Peculiar Crimes Unit - in other words, crimes that are odd or unusual. I enjoyed the book and enjoyed following them as they trailed their criminal and tried to figure out ...
ShrinkLits: Seventy of the World's Towering Classics Cut Down to Size

Every Reader Should Own This
I can only add to what others have written. Each of these "ShrinkLits" (Shrunken Literature) is unbelievably clever, but without being formulaic. Another reviewer mentioned Beowulf. Sure, I liked the couple Danish but I laughed out loud at, "Later on as King of Geats, He performed prodigious feats. Till he met a foe too tough (Non-Beodegradable stuff)." Or how about The Count of Monte ...

hysterically funny remembrances of the seventies
If you lived through the seventies, and watched t.v. and movies during that period, this will bring all of the fun memories back to you! The satires of the movies and t.v. shows are, in particular, HILARIOUS!!!

Seventy Times Seven

Salvatore Sapienza

A Thoroughly Satisfying Read
Seventy Times Seven was a tough read for me. As a somewhat bitterly ex-catholic gay boy who has been battling HIV for eleven years, I found that many parts of Sal Sapienza's novel hit very close to home. After I reached the end, though, I recognized that the journey had been well worth it, despite the emotional bumps I hit along the way. The story's main character is Vito, a cute gay Italian ...

Experimental crime fiction with a social conscience
David Peace's first novel, Nineteen seventy four was a story with roots in working class English literature. The central character, Eddy, a journalist, became embroiled in police corruption, and a sordid series of child murders. The novel was set in Yorkshire, written in the first person, and explored the underside of an area that months later saw the start of a vicious series of sexual murders ...

Gloria Steinem

Provocative essays
I was excited to see that Gloria Steinem has written a new book about aging, and eagerly ordered it. When I saw the book -- just 68 pages long and printed in a font about three times normal size, I felt cheated. It's not a "book" -- it's a series of two essays published in hard cover. Once I got past that realization and read the essays, I was glad that I had. Steinem is now seventy-plus, and ...
