84 charing cross books5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This was a true story of a single career woman whose life was happy in spite of her being single. This was not,thankfully,that kind of film. Now in "84 Charing Cross Road," the heroine's finances prevent her from crossing the ocean to actually meet the married man of her daydreams- but even if she had been able to visit England and meet him,I doubt she would have baked his children's pets or kidnapped his children. This was one of them the other was "Fatal Attraction." What a difference! People flocked to see the latter film in which (spoilers for "F.A." here) a single urban career woman has a brief affair with a married man, tries to kill herself, tries to kill everyone else, fricassees a pet rabbit, etc. What is really amazing however-and a sad comment on where people's attentions are focused-is that in 1987 there were two movies that dealt with married men and single women. It remains for me a gem-an amazingly done story. I saw this movie in 1987, read the book, and just rented it again in memory of Anne Bancroft. ![]()

No other book has ever explained these subjects to me like this before. It's so easy to digest and humorous at the same time, while still educating in a deep manner. The very best book EVER written on music must be How Music Really Works by Wayne Chase. If you love the science and art of songwriting, it is a fascinating book. This is a book that makes you think-re-examine your assumptions and approaches. Bryan Fogelman, Director, REO Songwriters' Retreat If anyone is truly serious about writing songs that will stand the test of time, then this book is a must read. Chapters 8 & 10, in particular, introduce elements of songwriting that have never been addressed before in any of the 30+ books I’ve read on songwriting.

Starmaker olaf5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Man’s lack of community and lack of a metaphysic are the problems which he believes have created such a sense of impending crisis. Seeing civilization polarized against barbarism as the world is poised for war, he calls for a synthesis of man in community and of communal man to "the dread but vital whole of things" (SM 250) in worship of the spirit. In the preface Stapledon states that he is writing out of a feeling of impending crisis. (1886-1950), a British philosopher and writer of science fiction, combines his interests in philosophy and fiction with an humanitarian concern for the future of mankind in his major science fiction novel, Star Maker (1937).
