Making Artisan Pasta by Aliza Green
" An excellent book, worth owning. Makes me wish I had the pasta-making equipment so I could dive in and start making all the filled pastas, sheet pastas, and dumplings that are some of the most intriguing recipes in the book. The brilliant photogra... "

Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Anderson did it first. Of particular note are the treatments of Faerie, the detours into isolated weirdness, and the various mythologies that intermingle well with the Carolingian Christian champion cycle. But it's a lot more fun than that suggests....more

Tremendous Trifles
by G.K. Chesterton
read in August, 2011
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Marvelous; a case study of the outlook of a true fantasist. Chesterton sees, in beautiful simplicity, the things in the world that people take for granted yet are truly fantastical when considered on their own terms. I read an essay from this collect...more

In the Company of the Courtesan by Sarah Dunant
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I liked the setting more than the story, as Dunant does a marvelous job of bringing Venice to vibrant life in plot and detail. The narrator and protagonist are entertaining, but I wanted a little more intrigue, circuitous betrayal, and brinksmanship...more

Elric by Michael Moorcock
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I'm torn on this one. It's a classic, sure, but it's not one that I particularly enjoyed. The sequencing is simple: Elric goes to a place and fights a dude or thing. Then he does it again. Then he does it again. Then he pouts a while then goes and ki...more

Byzantium by Stephen R. Lawhead
Byzantium

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Vast scope, exciting narrative, and a compelling premise make this historical novelization of a churchman's life an enjoyable read. It's an epic page turner like The Pillars of the Earth with an even broader geographical span, traveling from Ireland...more
