Books (Surprising, isn't it?)


The Maltese Falcon
The Maltese Falcon By Dashiell Hammett

Classics are things that don't grow old, but simply more beautiful. At 75 this is still the American mystery to which all others must be compared. If you have put off reading it for any reason now is the time, if you have read it, now is the time to reread. This truly is the stuff that dreams are made of.


The Fabulous Sylvester
The Legend, the Music, the 70s in San Francisco
The Fabulous Sylvester By Joshua Gamson

Imagine a pied piper with a dazzling falsetto, leading the people of the nation to a place called liberation, where everyone was welcome-to be themselves. It wasn't a fairytale, it was real, and disco sensation Syvester was that piper, and San Francisco was the kingdom where he reigned supreme.

The Great Movies II
The Great Movies II By Roger Ebert

This is more of a companion piece than a sequel (we all know how critics feel about sequels) to Ebert's intelligent and enlightening Great Movies. As always the amateur movie lover and the professional reviewer in Roger go hand in hand, looking for what makes a movie really great, not merely popular, or simply acclaimed.
