Sobre mimI am a partner in a small San Diego law firm. I have been married 33 years and have a son (age 16) and a daughter (age 21). The picture is of me and my son ca 1992. The Rickenbacker has'nt aged a bit, My daughter attends Mount Holyoke College and is currently spending her junior year abroad at the University of Florence. Everyone in the family is an Italophile. In addition to books, my passions include: playing the guitar, cooking, and hiking, fishing and skiing in the Eastern Sierra where we have a second home.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy tags speak for themselves. I only collect books by writers I like or on subject matters I like. I do not collect bindings or first editions; nor am I a completist because even my favorite writers produce some clunkers. I have read nearly every book in my catalog with the exception of some of the more turgid and prolix classics. I also have a passion for science fiction; however, I generally buy used paperbacks which I do not keep and which therefore are not catalogued.Visitor MapCreate your own visitor map!

I agree a lot of overly produced bossa nova was recorded, esp. in the U.S.

But there's a lot of great pared down bossa, often just a singer and a guitar. I need to go through my collection to cite a lot of examples, but I believe both Joao Gilberto's "Joao Voz e Violao" and "Joao Gilberto: Live in Montreux" feature just Gilberto and his guitar. There's also many Baden Powell, Luiz Bonfa and Charlie Byrd albums that are basically solo (or small group) acoustic.
Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're into Memoir Books. Have you read Home After Dark? Here's a link: http://www.fivestarpublications.com/afte...
Hi,

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Paris Trout, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Hi there,

I'm glad you enjoyed Whatever You Do, Don't Run, and hope that you also enjoyed your safari.

Cheers,

Not sure I can help can find no reference to an organization called the "Silverado Squatters" I have a copy of "Silverado Journal" printed by Grabhorn. I also looked through a book "Robert Grabhorn: Fine Printing and the Grabhorn Press" in which he is interviewed. He mentions the "Silverado Journal" as being one of the most difficult books he ever printed.

I would suspect when refers to himself as another Silverado squatter he is talking philosophically. More a state of mind than an actual group.

If I come across any other references I will let you know.
Thank you. Stevenson is one of my favorite authors. 'Silverado' is good, how curious they had to mis-label the wine from Napa so people would buy it, not a problem now. 'Travels with a Donkey' is probably my favorite Stevenson essay, more well known in the UK and southern France where 100s (thousands?) re-create his hike through the mountains each year, often with a donkey (there are now donkey rental companies). Wikipedia has more info on both.
thanks for writing. Re Stegner Ive only read angle of repose and crossing to safety. Just finished The Sea by John Banville which is an interesting stream of consciousness and wanted to mention Frank Conroy's Body and soul which was an excellent novel since you have read his nantucket book
Hi! It's pretty easy. just click on my map, then click on the yellow bar/link that says "get your own cluster map" and fill out the info they give you. Then they'll give you an html link. copy it and paste it into your profile page. Let me know if that works, and good luck!
