A great book on old time methods and old time tools of the gun trade. Great pictures!

Enjoyed this non-genre book by Mr. Moseley. It explained some of the mystery surrounding Robert Johnson and why people were so enthralled by him. The main character was a pathetic soul until rescued from the trash heap by Kiki. Their platonic relationship created their salvation, as she found a purpose to live and Soupspoon finished his life searching out is past. I found the characters realistic and also pitiful. Moselys' gift is to transport the reader back in time and show him the rich history that makes up our culture.I recommend this book to music lovers and lovers of fiction everywhere.

There are some writers whose talent is so special that you want to save their books and make the reading of them an occasion. Walter Mosley is one of those writers. He invests his characters with such depth, such full histories that you cannot help but care about them. RL's Dream is populated by a cast of such characters; even the most minor ones (including a baby) are fully fleshed and very real. Soupspoon and Kiki are two almost-lost souls who bring each other back to life in unexpected ways. It is a credit to Mosley's rare and splendid talent that the book itself resonates with music; its cadence is almost audible in the spare prose, the all-too-human behavior of people who, often, do things without even really knowing why. To comprehend the blues, to put words, literally, to a musical theme and to do so in a kind-hearted and deeply understanding fashion is to deliver magic in the form of a book. This is a "must read" novel.

All in all this kit is pretty decent. It comes with an instructional tape that tells you how to use the other tools that come in the yoga kit. For the yoga practice that I do, I didn't really need the other tools. But if this is part of your practice, then it's worth it.As far as the mat goes, i like using it but find that, with some activities, it slips underneath me. Also, the mat rolls up a lot on the end so sometimes that can be annoying. Overall though, the mat serves it's purpose. It would probably be more useful to use this on a hard surface than on a carpet. That way it may not slip as much.

The yoga matt itself is ok but it comes with a video TAPE and unfortunatly I don't have a VCR anymore. Maybe it could be updated to a dvd.So therefore I still don't know how to use the yoga kit properly.Franziska

Here is a wonderful collection of the choral anthems of Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625). The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge presents these in a clear, exuberant, though controlled style. The order has been carefully selected so that the anthems flow from one to the next, making the whole CD a delight to the ear. I own this one and recommend it highly to anyone interested in the choral works of Gibbons, himself, or of some of the earliest Anthems of the English Reformation.
