An Re-discovered Treasure Sure to Be the Newest Classic.......2000-02-06
Caroline Gordon's first novel, Penhally, was published in 1931. It is a plantation novel where the setting, the mansion named Penhally, is as much a protagonist as the main characters. Nick Llewlynn, as the eldest son, as inherited the plantation, house, slaves and tobacco fields. The novel is broken into three parts: Part I's setting is during the pre-Civil War era, but revolves around the disagreement Nick and his half-brother, Ralph. The second part deals with Nick and Ralph's nephew, John, as the main protagonist and centers around John's escapades during the War and the problems/suffering the South endured during Recontruction. The third part is more current and deals with John's grandsons, Chance and Nick. Nick, as the oldest son, as inherited the estate, but it's Chance that loves the land. Problems erupt when Nick wants to sell the ancestoral home. The novel is sometimes difficult to comprehend because Ms.Gordon doesn't always define the relationship of the characters. The only other problem is with the dialect in the beinning.

In Czechoslovakia in 1950 a young boy and his father spy a cicada while on a picnic in the woods. The father notes that the insect doesn't trust humans: "They're not completely wrong. There are children who put them in cages. Then they stop singing and die very quickly. They can't stand to be locked up," he says. Two months later, without any warning and with precious little cause, the father is arrested for his supposed counterrevolutionary activities; in reality he is arrested because of the state's anti-Semitic resentment. Thus begins Vittorio Giardino's extraordinary masterpiece A Jew in Communist Prague. It is the story of Jonas Finkel, a boy who grows up all too soon; cares for his frantic, grieving mother; and fights off wave after wave of prejudice. There is sincerity in every one of Giardino's lines. He writes, "I spent hours trying to write down, in a few words, a simple and honest presentation of Jonas Finkel's story, but it just got increasingly difficult." The result of his careful work is well worth any reader's time.
Book Description

HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!
A Wonderful Begining.......2001-08-11
The first in Italian cartoonist Giardino's series about a Jewish boy growing up in Communist Prague introduces us to Jonas Finkel and his pleasant middle-class life in Prague. His professor father is arrested for allegedly being a counterrevolutionary, although the unstated truth is that he's the victim of unofficial state anti-Semitism. The book is at its best in showing Jonas and his mother gradually sliding into poverty while they try to penetrate the state beauracracy to learn of the father's whereabouts and sentence. When Jonas is not admitted to high school due to his father's alleged crimes, he enters the workforce and awkwardly encounters the stirrings of hormones. The art is done in the lovely realistic style I tend to associate with European cartoonists, with appropriately washed out coloring. It'll be great to see all the books together.
Captivating, a must-read.......2000-05-13
When you first pick this book up, do not scoff at it simply because it is full of pictures. A Jew in Communist Prague is a fine example of what a graphic novel or any book should be modelled after. The story is a truly captivating tale, providing a down-to-level, human look into the life of Jonas Finkel and the brutish treatment of his family because they are Jewish. All of this is told wonderfully, as the writer displays his brilliance for storytelling, pacing, characterization, and dialogue. And complimenting this marvelous plot are the equally fantastic illustrations, which style manages to perfectly mesh with this story of social and political issues in Communist Czechoslovakia. This is a very intelligent read and is recommended for fans of all genres.

Unique, Creative, and a great read!.......2002-01-31
Spinneret is a great read. If you are bored with the similarities of many SciFi plots, find this book! (I say *find* because it is currently out of print, try Amazon Used book section, Zshops, or online auctions, or the library). Zahn takes a totally ridiculous idea and creates a masterpiece. The premise of the story is that man finally makes it out of the solar system in hopes of colonization, only to find out that we are latecomers to the game. All the worlds in our reach have already been divided up between several species. The United Nation's is able to trade for a planet regarded as useless (no natural resources to speak of and crops can not be grown) and the USA (being the wealthiest and most technologically advanced nation) will bear most of the financial burden and administrative responsibilities. This situation is palatable as long as the colony is a money pit. The US Colonel in charge of the colony has orders to do whatever necessary to make the colony self-sufficient as soon as possible. This proves to be a daunting task, as the workers (many from third world countries) are being rallied by a charismatic anti-American and refuse to work until their demands are met. Amid the turmoil, scientists begin to analyze an enigma threatening the lives of all colonists. The crops won't grow. And to make matters worse, everything made of metal seems to be disappearing. Finding the answer to these problems eventually leads to an amazing discovery that makes this new colony one of the most valuable commodities in the known universe; hidden technology from the original inhabitants. Soon all aliens are fighting to be our best friend and suddenly the UN wants to run the show -- and politics reigns supreme! The colonists still can't grow their own food nor protect their new discovery from the more technologically advanced aliens. The workers are up in arms and want a piece of the new found profits, the US and UN are trying to outmaneuver one another for control of the colony, and the amazing discovery has left more questions than answers (what happened to the inventors and what do we do if they come back?). As usual, Zahn creates believable characters and a page turning plot structure, based on a far-fetched idea that he somehow makes believable. I think what I like the best about reading anything by Timothy Zahn is the flow of the story. He has the innate ability to give enough technical details to further the story, without bogging down the reader with constant interruptions. Many authors write in an annoyingly choppy fashion, constantly stopping the flow of the story to explain technical details (especially in SciFi) or in order to set up the next scene. Zahn's works seem to have a continuous flow with constant action and dialog that are pertinent to the overall story. Spinneret is one of my favorites from Timothy Zahn, and I encourage you to go out of your way to find this book, it will be well worth the effort.

This is one of the finest books I've ever read. From the premise to the wrap-up, their's very little to complain about, except a small amount of overly pro-Americanisms. If you can find it, buy it!

Book Description
Join Texas food writer Robb Walsh on a grand tour complete with larger-than-life characters, colorful yarns, rare archival photographs, and a savory assortment of crispy, crunchy Tex-Mex foods.
From the Mexican pioneers of the sixteenth century, who first brought horses and cattle to Texas, to the Spanish mission era when cumin and garlic were introduced, to the 1890s when the Chile Queens of San Antonio sold their peppery stews to gringos like O. Henry and Ambrose Bierce, and through the chili gravy, combination plates, crispy tacos, and frozen margaritas of the twentieth century, all the way to the nuevo fried oyster nachos and vegetarian chorizo of today, here is the history of Tex-Mex in more than 100 recipes and 150 photos.
Rolled, folded, and stacked enchiladas, old-fashioned puffy tacos, sizzling fajitas, truck-stop chili, frozen margaritas, Frito™ Pie, and much, much more, are all here in easy-to-follow recipes for home cooks.
The Tex-Mex Cookbook will delight chile heads, food history buffs, Mexican food fans, and anybody who has ever woken up in the middle of the night craving cheese enchiladas.

Tweaking some traditional Mexican cuisine........2007-09-08
First off, Mexican food is my comfort food. I think it's the familiarity from my childhood. I have a lot of recipes that were passed down from before my family immigrated to the United States. I still cook these several times a month.
I bought this cookbook to get the "Tex" part of cooking because it does vary from what I'm used to. This book does not disappoint. There are wonderful recipes, amazing narratives, and intriguing photographs in here.
Esto libro es para gente que tenga experiencia en hacer recetas de comida mexicana. El sabor de la cocina mexicana ha llegado. Me gusta la comida de Texas también y los dos son una buena mezcla.
¡Buen provecho!
Great Book .......2007-09-04
I have really enjoyed this book our whole office has a copy of it now and we all use it monthly.
What a treasure! .......2007-08-28
Robb Walsh's Tex-Mex Cookbook is a must have if you enjoy border cooking. Let's put it this way....if you spend any time at all searching for the perfect cheese enchilada at hole-in-the-wall restaurants, you need this book. If you've ever overstuffed yourself on Chuy's "Elvis Presley Memorial Platter", you have to have this. If the smell of taco seasonings and the sound of sizzling fajitas brings you running, then this book will be your bible.
Equal parts cookbook and culinary anthropology, the Tex-Mex Cookbook breaks this often misunderstood regional style of cooking down into it's component parts. Walsh carefully explains the background history of each dish and then provides easy to follow recipes so that you can try making your favorite treats at home. The material is enhanced by dozens and dozens of archival black and white photographs that act like a window straight into the heart and soul of Tex-Mex cooking. There are also many interesting sidebars that help to illustrate the depth and complexity of this tremendous and tasty style of cooking.
I can't recommend it enough. Love you some Tex-Mex cookin'? If the answer is an emphatic and hungey "YES!", then you need to order this book.
Two Thumbs Up from a South Texas South Girl.......2007-07-05
I grew up in South Texas, a region with its own rhythm and flavor. Although I am a "gringa," I had a Mexican nanny who taught me to count to ten in Spanish before English, who weekly made me fresh tortillas in the shape of Mickey Mouse, and who helped me feel that I am partially Mexican in my soul. Being from South Texas and living my whole life in the state means that I have also consumed an enormous amount of Mexican food in my 30+ years. One of my goals has been to learn to make outstanding cheese enchiladas and chile con carne. If you have ever set out to find recipes for these authentic Tex-Mex basics, then you know that it is not an easy task. Chili recipes from the open internet turn out more like spaghetti sauce. Cheese enchilada recipes from random sources fail to produce the right flavor or consistency. Search no more: you have found the answer.
Walsh's cookbook offers *the* recipes to access the basic and central Tex-Mex dishes (and then some--I can't wait to try the Dulce de Leche!). It is written in a superb style--you get a wonderful dose of history in an enjoyable format, well written and including photos. Beyond helping me accomplish my goals, the cookbook furthered my understanding of my connections to this great state's rich culture.
Bottom line: the historical reading is outstanding and the recipes are authentic, easy to follow, and an exceptional foundation for being able to make at home the superb standard dishes you find in the historic Tex-Mex restaurants around the state. I couldn't recommend this more.
Truly authentic.......2006-08-23
Every Wednesday was Mexican Food day in the cafeteria, when I was in grade school in San Antonio during the 50's. We got two cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans. On the weekends, my parents and I went to the original Martha's Cafe on Huebner Road or Casa Rio on the San Antonio river. When I grew up, none of the dishes I cooked from recipes in "Mexican food" cookbooks ever tasted quite right, until I tried Robb Walsh's book. These dishes are truly authentic! The photos and the historical information are a treasure. This is one book I do not lend from my personal library. If someone wants to borrow it, I'll buy them a copy rather than risk losing this one.
