Bredes, Don
THE FIFTH SEASON: A NOVEL OF SUSPENSE

Imprint: Three Rivers Press, 2005
Binding: Paperback

The idea of the big city cop who accidentally kills his partner and then sh akes up his life by going back to his rural hometown receives fresh treatme nt in Bredes's suspense series featuring Hector Bellevance, a Harvard gradu ate who was a detective in the Boston police department before tragedy over took him. In Bellevance's poignant second outing (after 2001's Cold Comfort ), the author deepens an already original character, who has returned home to Tipton, Vt., where he works as town constable, grows vegetables for tour ists and dates local reporter Wilma Strong. When Marcel Boisvert, a Tipton power broker, apparently goes berserk and murders two public officials, Bel levance and Wilma find all sorts of local secrets under various Vermont roc ks. Though the novel is based on an actual 1997 case, Bredes manages to add a sizable amount of fictional flourish with impressive results., Very Good

Breen, Michael
THE KOREANS : AMERICA'S TROUBLED RELATIONS WITH NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA

Imprint: Thomas Dunne Books, 1999
Edition: 1st Edition
Binding: Hardcover

A wonderful tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscri ptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. A veteran British journalist examines the history, culture, and economy of North and (principally) South Korea, where he lives for half of each year. Realizing that most readers know Korea only because of the war (1950-53) or because of the communist North's nuclear potential and noisy aggressiveness, Breen limns with patience and perspicuity an engaging portrait of this least-known of the major Asian economic powers. He describes, for example, the ``fierce sense of identity'' among Koreans and concludes that in Korean society ``you are your DNA. He examines Korean religions and educational systems, observing that the peninsula's undergraduate programs are inferior because students experience ``no pressure to perform as undergraduates. In a rapid summary of Korean history, Breen notes that the Koreans ``have remained a distinct people'' for centuries, despite domination by China, Japan, and others. He has a powerful command of anecdote and detail, illustrated for example in his description of community-wide rock fights in the 19th century to settle public disputes and in the horrible image of the 100,000 pickled Korean noses the 16th-century Japanese warriors took to their country to certify their body counts. Breen credits the late South Korean president Park Chung-hee for providing the leadership that propelled his nation into the front ranks of economic powers, but he also presents a devastating analysis of the pervasive bribery and corruption in the Korean business, educa, Very Good/Very Good

LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE: THE HISTORY OF THE DISC JOCKEY

Imprint: Grove Press, 2000
Binding: Paperback

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. From the first time a record was played over the airwaves in 1906, to a modern club economy that totals $3 billion annually in New York City alone, the DJ has been at the center of popular music. Starting as little more than a talking jukebox, the DJ is now a premier entertainer, producer, businessman, and musician in his own right. Superstar DJs, from Junior Vasquez to Sasha and Digweed, command worship and adoration from millions, flying around the globe to earn tens of thousands of dollars for one night's work. Increasingly, they are replacing live musicians as the central figures of the music industry. In Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, music journalists Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton have written the first comprehensive history of the mysterious and charismatic figure behind the turntables -- part obsessive record collector, part mad scientist, part intuitive psychologist of the party groove. From England's rabid Northern Soul scene to the birth of disco in New York, from the sound systems of Jamaica to the scratch wars of early hip-hop in the Bronx, from Chicago house to Detroit techno to London rave, DJs are responsible for most of the significant changes in music over the past forty years. Drawing on in- depth interviews with DJs, critics, musicians, record executives, and the revelers at some of the century's most legendary parties, Last Night a DJ Saved My Life is nothing less than the life story of dance music., Very Good

TICKLING THE ENGLISH

Imprint: Michael Joseph, 2009
Edition: 1st Edition
Binding: Hardcover

A crisp clean hardcover, no markings throughout, NOT an ex-lib: Nostalgia, identity, eccentricity, gin drinking and occasional violence... these are just some of the themes that stand-up comedian Dara O Briain expl ores in Tickling the English. O Briain moved to England many years ago, but when he takes his show on tou r around the country - from deserted seaside towns and remote off-shore isl ands, to sprawling industrial cities and sleepy suburbs - it's clear to him that his adopted home is still a bit of an enigma. Why do the English pretend to be unhappy all the time? Why can't they accept they rank about 5th, in everything? And what's with all the fudge? But this Irishman loves a challenge; he's certainly got the gregarious pers onality and the sure-fire wit to bring down the barriers of that famous Eng lish reserve, and have a good old rummage inside. Swapping anecdotes with h is audiences and spending time wandering in their hometowns, this nosy neig hbour holds England up to the light while exploring some of the attitudes h e brought over here with him too. As Dara goes door-to-door in search of England in this part tour diary, part travelogue, the result is an affectionate, hilarious and often eye-opening journey through the Sceptred Isle., Very Good/Very Good

To commemorate the 40th an niversary of their beginning, with Master and Commander, these evocative st ories are being re-issued in paperback with smart new livery. This is the t wentieth book in the series. 'If we had only two or three of Patrick O'Bria n's Aubrey-Maturin series, we would count ourselves lucky; with six or seve n the author would be safely among the greats of historical fiction... This is great writing by an undiminished talent. Now on to Volume Twenty, and t he liberation of Chile.' WILLIAM WALDEGRAVE, Literary Review This is the tw entieth book in Patrick O'Brian's highly acclaimed, bestselling series chro nicling the adventures of lucky Jack Aubrey and his best friend Stephen Mat urin, part ship's doctor, part secret agent. The novel's stirring action fo llows on from that of The Hundred Days. Napoleon's hundred days of freedom and his renewed threat to Europe have ended at Waterloo and Aubrey has fina lly, as the title suggests, become a blue level admiral. He and Maturin hav e - at last - set sail on their much postponed mission to Chile. Vivid with the salty tang of life at sea, O'Brian's writing is as powerful as ever wh ether he writes of naval hierarchies, night-actions or the most celebrated fictional friendship since that of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Blue at t he Mizzen also brings alive the sights and sounds of revolutionary South Am erica in a story as exciting as any O'Brian has written., Very Good

Captain Jack Aubrey sails away from the hated Australian prison colonie s in his favourite vessel the Surprise, pondering on middle age and sexual frustration. He soon becomes aware that he is out of touch with the mood of his ship: to his astonishment he finds that in spite of a lifetime's exper ience he does not know what the foremost hands or even his own officers are thinking. They know, as he does not, that the Surprise has a stranger aboa rd: and what they, for their part, do not know is that the stranger is pote ntially as dangerous as a light in the powder magazine itself., Very Good

Nowhere in contemporary prose have the majesty and terror of the sea been more effectively rendered than in the thrilling chase through an Antarctic storm in which Jack's ship, under- manned and out-gunned, is the quarry not the hunter., Very Good

HUNDRED DAYS (UK EDITION)

Binding: Trade Paperbac

'If we had only two or three of O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, we would c ount ourselves lucky; with six or seven the author would be safely among th e greats of historical fiction. But this is his nineteenth volume!' WILLIAM WALDEGRAVE, Literary Review Following the extraordinary success of The Yel low Admiral, this latest Aubrey-Maturin novel brings alive the sights and s ounds of North Africa as well as the great naval battles in the days immedi ately following Napoleon's escape from Elba. Aubrey and Maturin are in the thick of the plots and counterplots to prevent his regaining power. Coloure d by conspiracies in the Adriatic, in the Berber and Arab lands of the sout hern shores of the Mediterranean, by night actions, fierce pursuits, slave- trading and lion hunts, The Hundred Days is a masterpiece. 'O'Brian is far and away the best of the Napoleonic storytellers and The Hundred Days is on e of the best of the series: a classic naval adventure, crammed with incide nt, superbly plotted and utterly gripping...This is O'Brian at his brillian t, entertaining best and when he is on this form the rest of us who write o f the Napoleonic conflict might as well give up and try a new career. Fans of the series will need no encouragement to buy this book, but if you are n ew to Aubrey and Maturin then this is as splendid an introduction as you co uld wish for.'

The na dir was reached in The Reverse of the Medal when, the victim of a skilful f rame-up, he was convicted of fraud and struck off the Navy list just as he was coming within sight of flag rank. The subsequent exposure of the conspi racy, coupled with his brilliant success in command of a privateer, had bro ught him to a position where Their Lordships were more or less bound to rei nstate him. This, as the present book opens, they have done, and he and his old friend Dr Maturin are sailing on a secret mission with a hand-picked c rew, most of them shipmates from the adventures and lucrative voyages of ea rlier years., Very Good

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the gr eatest series of historical novels ever written. Now, for the first time, t hey are available in electronic book format, so a whole new generation of r eaders can be swept away on the adventure of a lifetime. This is the ninth book in the series. Uniquely among authors of naval fiction, Patrick O'Brian allows his charact ers to develop with experience. The Jack Aubrey of Treason's Harbour has a record of successes equal to that of the most brilliant of Nelson's band of brothers, and he is no less formidable or decisive in action or strategy. But he is wiser, kinder, gentler too. Much of the plot of Treason's Harbour depends on intelligence and counter-intelligence, a field in which Aubrey's friend Stephen Maturin excels. Through him we get a clearer insight into the life and habits of the sea officers of Nelson's time than we would ever obtain seeing things through their own eyes. There is plenty of action and excitement in this novel, but it is the atmosphere of a Malta crowded with senior officers waiting for news of what the French are up to, and wondering whether the war will end before their turn comes for prize money and for fame, that is here so freshly and vividly conveyed., Very Good

THE BEST AMERICAN EROTICA 2005

Imprint: Simon & Schuster Adult Publi, 2005
Binding: Paperback

Thirteenth dip by sexologist Bright (Full Exposure, 1999, etc.) into the bi g pool of Americans groping for skin under the surface of society and findi ng plenty of strong feelings and slick flesh. Outstanding contribution here is an excerpt from Pulitzer-winner Jane Smiley's Good Faith, which is so w ell written that a page about snowfall outside the Hilton Hotel on 54th Str eet is sexy and fulfilling even before the lovers' joining. Cecile Tan's tw o pieces, "Seduction" and "The Magician's Assistant," are less about sex th an about fearful virginity and being ignored. Other impressive entries incl ude the kickoff story by Steve Almond, "Slippy for President," in which a l oser college student moves into an off-campus house full of beautiful blond es and gets teased about never eating "pussy" or smoking pot. Then the lose r and three blondes take Ecstasy: What happens next is quite literate and a musing. While most of the contributors are new names, all write with verve. P.S. Haven's "Charles Sykes' Spirit of Ecstasy," "Robots of the World, Uni te" by Karl Iagnemma, and Lana Gail Taylor's "Genuflection" should not be m issed. Also gripping (so to speak), is Bright's account of her days as a re viewer of XXX videos, watching dozens of tapes at breakneck speed to make h er deadline with a notebook-and a hand-in her lap. A tasteful pillow book., Fine

THE SEXUAL STATE OF THE UNION

Imprint: Touchstone, 1998
Binding: Paperback

Susie Bright is a sexual liberationist of the highest order. The Sexual St ate of the Union includes essays about dirty pictures and porn, lesbian mar riage and lesbian murder, lesbian men and switching genders, vibrators, and the longevity of feminism. The writing is crisp, intelligent, and provocat ive; there is sure to be something that will make you cheer as well as some thing that will deeply offend you. Much of Bright's writing is personal, ba sed on conversations and relationships with queer friends of different gend ers and sexualities. One of her most impressive strengths is her ability to forthrightly ask obvious questions-- Why did you want to change your gender ? Why do you want to be hurt?-- without presupposing either judgement or an answer. Bright's mind is open and fertile, curious, and eager., Near Fine
