Paperback. Zustand: Good. Ellen Pall's Must Read Well immerses the reader in an escalating game of cat-and-mouse between two women: a millennial scholar driven to deceit to reach her goals and a frail octogenarian no less capable of deception. Narrated by Liz Miller, a penniless Ph.D. candidate desperate to finish her dissertation, the novel begins when Liz's boyfriend abruptly ditches her, rendering Liz homeless and reduced to couch-surfing at best friend Petra's tiny Manhattan studio apartment. Trying to find an affordable living space, she stumbles across a Craigslist posting that will change her life: a room with a view in a pre-war Greenwich Village apartment. The rent is a pittance, but in exchange, the tenant must be willing to read aloud daily to the apartment's sight-impaired landlady. Liz quickly figures out that the sight-impaired landlady is none other than Anne Taussig Weil, author of the 1965 international blockbuster The Vengeance of Catherine Clark and the very woman whose refusal to cooperate for the past four years has held up Liz's dissertation on the feminist works of mid-century women novelists. Access to Weil is the key to completing her doctorate at Columbia and finally getting her academic career back on track. Liz sets scruples aside and presents herself as a quiet young woman still finding her way in life. Once settled in, Liz learns from Weil that her need for a reader stems from a desire to revisit a key episode in her life. That episode, recorded in the scrawled journals Weil kept since she was a young girl, turns out to be the story of her passionate, disastrous, secret love affair with a celebrated pianistthe affair, in fact, which gave rise to the plot of Vengeance. The novel, which builds from there to a double-twist climax, is fast-paced women's fiction, perfect for book club members and readers everywhere.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. FOR TEN YEARS, they exchanged notes, letters, faxes, and phone calls. Stephen Sondheim would contact him, and Paul Salsini, the founder and editor of T he Sondheim Revie w, would respond. And vice versa. Now, Salsini, a Milwaukee journalist, has described his unlikely long-distance relationship with the fabled composer/lyricist in Sondheim & Me: Revealing a Musical Genius . The memoir includes the dozens of notes that Sondheim sent Salsini about articles in the magazine. It was clear that, at least at the start in 1994, he read every word of every issue, and often his comments were what Sondheim called emendations, pointing out a typo, a wrong first name or a misreading of a scene. There were a few disagreements; Sondheim was furious about the magazine's review of one of his shows and called to loudly complain. After the magazine published his lyrics for a high school show, he wrote to object vigorously to your reprinting my juvenilia. But mostly there was a good working relationship, and Sondheim's responses were encouraging and sometimes enthusiastic. Congratulations on another good issue! Keep up the good work! Sondheim & Me also includes numerous reports of talks, forums, and Q&As in which Sondheim revealed his process for composing, his inspirations, his comments on his shows (the original film of West Side Story isn't any good, the first act of Sunday in the Park with George is a stunt, the film of A Little Night Music is dreadful). The magazine reported on the openings of Passion , Saturday Night , and the troubled Mizner musical. And the decade also saw the Broadway revivals of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Follies, Into the Woods , and Gypsy . Besides all that, there was the $10 million Kennedy Center Sondheim Celebration with a repertory of six of his musicals. It was a remarkable decade for Stephen Sondheim, and Paul Salsini and The Sondheim Review were there to report it all. Almost none of the book's material has been seen by the general publicat its height, T he Sondheim Review had but a few thousand subscribers. To thoroughly understand the great, revolutionary artistry of Stephen Sondheim, Sondheim & Me is indispensable. In what may be something of an exclusive, the book also contains an extensive, detailed chronology of Sondheim's life, his works, and the many tributes he received. Sixty-four pages of photos of Sondheim productions, along with many TSR covers and the notes Sondheim wrote, enhance this illuminating, groundbreaking book.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Living the Practice Volume II: The Warrior of Love by Rohini Ralby is an in-depth exploration of spiritual growth and self-discovery. The text addresses the journey of overcoming the shrunken self-a false self-concept constructed by ego, societal expectations, and personal history. This shrunken self is depicted as a barrier that prevents individuals from accessing their true nature, which is inherently expansive and connected to a universal consciousness. Ralby argues that true spiritual awakening involves a rigorous process known as sadhana. This practice entails disciplined spiritual exercises that help practitioners gradually dismantle their false identities and awaken to their true selves. The book extensively discusses various aspects of this spiritual work, including emotional maturity, overcoming psychological obstacles, and the importance of genuine self-reflection and sacrifice. Throughout the text, Ralby interweaves her personal experiences with philosophical insights and practical advice, making the journey accessible and relatable. She uses various metaphors, such as the natural process of apoptosis, to explain how individuals must initiate an internal process of self-destruction to renew and revitalize their spiritual lives. This process is necessary to prevent the spiritual equivalent of a cancerous growth, where the false self proliferates to the detriment of the individual's true well-being. The book is rich with poetic expressions and artwork that reflect the emotional and existential themes discussed. These artistic elements serve not only as aesthetic complements to the text but also as integral components of the teaching, illustrating the intertwining of beauty, pain, and growth in the spiritual path. Living the Practice also emphasizes the role of a guru or spiritual guide in the journey toward enlightenment. Ralby describes how the guidance and grace of a guru can facilitate the awakening process, helping the practitioner navigate the complexities of their inner world and the challenges of spiritual practice. The guru's role is likened to an external force that catalyzes internal transformation, providing both support and necessary challenges. Ultimately, the book presents the spiritual path as one of profound transformation that requires courage, discipline, and a willingness to face one's deepest fears and flaws. It calls on the reader to become a warrior of love, battling against the limitations of the shrunken self and striving towards a state of unconditional love and spiritual freedom. The warrior of love is depicted as someone who not only seeks personal liberation but also works to spread love and understanding in the world. Living the Practice Volume II: The Warrior of Love is a call to spiritual action, offering readers a detailed map to navigate their own spiritual journeys. It challenges readers to question their perceived limitations and to embrace a journey of profound transformation that transcends the individual and impacts the collective consciousness. Through its rich narrative, philosophical depth, and practical guidance, the book serves as both a meditation on and a manual for living a spiritually enriched life.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Humiliated at the Bay of Pigs, John and Robert Kennedy sought desperately to eliminate Castro. Their strategies for overthrowing the Cuban leader were so elaborate and bizarre, they could only engender paranoia. Castro openly threatened to retaliate.Pro-Castro agitator Lee Harvey Oswald learned that Robert Kennedy was personally supervising groups plotting against the Cuban leader. Filled with rage and a sense of destiny, Oswald went to the Cuban embassy in Mexico, announcing he would kill America's president in exchange for sanctuary in Havana. Live By the Sword forces the conclusion that members of the Cuban regime accepted the troubled American's offer. Russo shows that Oswald was indeed JFK's lone assailant, but that after the president's murder, a devastated Robert Kennedy and key officials launched a comprehensive coverup to hide its true causes.Gus Russo, based in Baltimore, Maryland, has reported for acclaimed ABC and PBS documentaries on JFK, and done research for authors Gerald Posner, Seymour Hersh, and Anthony Summers. Exhaustively researched, Live by the Sword ends 35 years of public mistrust and confusion over the Kennedy assassination.…
