I *was* going to resist temptation to jump in here, because there's no way I'll be satisfied with any list of "favorites" I'll ever come up with (besides which, a lot of them have been named or hinted at by others already), but this was just too much bait. My--um. . .well. . .significant-used-to-be-something-or-other. . . read Bridge of Birds to me, and it was one of the more marvelous things I've encountered in the last few years. I'm always reading two or three books at once, and I rarely remember what it was I was reading last month, but that one'll stick with me for a long time. Lessee. Other faves, aside from the ones everyone else has already noted. *grin* We can all assume Hitchhiker's Guide, Narnian Chronicles, yadda yadda. Aldous Huxley's _Brave New World_. Timeless from its publication onward; one of the most frightening accounts of our capacity to give up our freewill to others that I can imagine. Used to have arguments all the time over whether this or _1984_ was more horrific, and I said this was, as it was more insidious. Also Margaret Atwood's _The Handmaid's Tale_. Utopian (or, as some call it, anti-utopian or dystopian) fiction is a fascination of mine. And heck, *anything* by Huxley, for that matter, is brilliant with a capital "Jesus-god-I-wish-I-had-his-intellect-and-writing-power." John Steinbeck's _Travels With Charley_. For those of you who thought "The Pearl" was all there was to Steinbeck (or who wouldn't agree with me that _East of Eden_ is the great American novel), breeze along with him in this nonfictional account of his traipses around the nation in 1963. Orson Scott Card's _Songmaster_. A unique story; makes me ache every time I read it. Probably the most-read work in my collection. Tom Robbins's _Even Cowgirls Get the Blues_. My roomie Adam wanted me to keep rereading it, he got such a charge out of the squeals of glee that would come from my room as I zipped through it. Neil Gaiman's _The Books of Magic_ (yes, yes, Sandman too, but the trade paperback of BOM is sublime), Terry Moore's _Strangers in Paradise_ (so it's got cute girls in love with each other, so I'm predictable), Ellis/Robertsons' _Transmetropolitan_, Alan Moore's _The Watchmen_, and. . .argh. . .name? _V for Vendetta_. Any other closet comics fans out there? Bestest friend Adam gets credit for showering me with comics until I get obsessed with them on my own, and he only picks the best for me. :) Margaret Mahy's _The Changeover_. Billed as a "supernatural romance," it's the archetypal "we all feel different and by the way don't we all wish we had magic in our lives" young adult book. Stephen R. Donaldson's series, _Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever_. Okay, one of the heaviest-handed prose-writers you can dredge up, with a vocabulary that makes one want to invest in Merriam-Webster upon picking up one of his books, grindingly depressing symbolism, and the most thoroughly anti-heroic protagonist created since, say, Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky's _Crime and Punishment_ (which I also loved). But inspiring as all hell. I wore a ring in honor of Covenant for years. Esquivel's _Like Water For Chocolate_. For those of us who like our "magic realism" in a compact enough dose to read in a couple of days instead of a couple of months. Yes, I fought through _100 Years of Solitude_, too. . . Sharon Olds's _Satan Says_. My favorite modern poet; go find "Connoisseuse of Slugs" for a sample. .. Neale Donald Walsch, _Conversations With God_. I advocated this one on this group a few months ago, so I won't elaborate. John Fowles's _The French Lieutenant's Woman_. And one of the few perfect movie adaptations I've *ever* seen. Tom Stoppard, _Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead_. And I just saw _Shakespeare in Love_ last night. :) Ferrol Sams's _Run With the Horsemen_ and _Whisper of the River_. If you like Southern fiction even a teeny tiny little bit. . .! Ken Kesey's _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_. Infinitely better than the movie. Alex Haley's _Roots_. A recent read, and worth the length. Lotsa stuff by Vonnegut, Toni Morrison, Jane Austen, William Faulkner, A.S. Byatt, Robin McKinley. . . oh, hell. Just give me a book and leave me alone. :) cee P.S.

Just to let you all know, there is no need to worry about Chris O's moniker being challenged. ChrisO isn't actually on this list. He had sound files of Fruvous playing with Dan Bern and just posted to let everyone here know. So unlike the Chad situation, there is still just one unique Chris O here. I must say, though, that there must be something in the name, because when I met ChrisO, both through email and in person, he reminded me a lot of Chris O (though I have admittedly limited exposure to each), which is a compliment. Its kind of funny for me personally, though, because Chris O is one of the first people I met and traded with here, and ChrisO is one of the first Dan people I met and traded with. Hey, maybe they really are the same person and I've just been fooled. : ) Harry - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 19:32:20 GMT From: hakmusic@juno.com Subject: Falcon Ridge Info Hi everyone: From Anne from Falcon Ridge (via the Dar list): >Yes, I am about 2/3 done booking the 11th annual FRFF.

First, the little kids books: with two kids under four who are both avid book lovers, my life is engulfed by childrens books. The ones that are my favorites at one point of time often end up my least favorite a few months later, after reading them way to many times, but I wanted to mention: A spark in the dark - a wonderful book for kids, my absolute favorite, makes every kid feel special. the When you give a: mouse a cookie/pig a pancake/mouse a muffin series - these totally crack me up. This very silly little book called "Spider" which has funny drawling and starts off "Spider is a happy chap, he wears a happy smile, but when people see him coming, they freak and run a mile" and later has him getting hit with a "louffa" (spelling?) this book makes my daughter crack up. A series of books called: Duck is dirty, Dog is thirsty, Cat is Sleepy, Squirl is hungry, and Goldfish hide and seek. Wonderful pictures. My sons favorite books. And to get little babies started on reading, I don't think anything beats the Eric Carle books (especially Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Busy Spider, and Hungry Catapiller) and the Sandra Boynton books (Moo Baa La la la especially). The tough situation is that we felt that our daughter, now 3 1/2, was ready to handle bigger books without pictures, so we are reading her Charlottes Web. She absoluetly loves it. She enjoys each nights reading segment and talks about it all the time. Wilbur and Charlotte have become important parts of her world. Both my wife and I forgot, however, that Charlotte dies in the end. While my daughter knows that plants die, and understands that when we eat chicken it is the same as the animals that she sees in stories, but she doesn't have any understanding that people, or animals that she gets attached to die. When we first realized it, we were going to read her the end and use it to broach the subject, but we've now decided that it is too much, because she has gotten so attached to Charlotte, so now we are going to have Charlotte go off to rest. Books and songs, often Fruvous songs, have been great in helping us teach our daughter many things, including concepts that she might not have understood yet. But they can also lead to some tought situations. The only concept/exposure that she has to the word "hate" is that it is in the book "this nest is best" when Mrs. Bird says she hates her current nest and wants to find another one, and in an Indigo Girls song where Emily sings "hate me because I'm different, hate me because I'm gay." Oh well, I guess it is all a part of learning.

Everyone here who knows me knows how much my daughter loves Fruvous. Well my son is now about to turn a year and he also reacts in a special way to Fruvous. So I am begining to think that there is really something about their music that connects to little kids. He, like my daughter, also has a very special affinity for Patty Griffin and the Nields, which is also interesting. Back to Fruvous, and this goes back a couple months, he had a really tough period where he was sick and had a series of infections and was in a lot of pain for a prolonged period. During that time, he would often get to be miserable, understandably. First, we found that when he got upset during the day, and nothing else would settle him down, I would start to sing Pisco to him and he would immediately smile and start to laugh, no matter how upset he was at the start. I had only heard the song once or twice, so I only knew the chorus, but it absolutely delighted him. Now that I know all the words, my daughter and I duet on it for him and he still laughs hysterically whenever he hears it. Also, when he was having trouble sleeping at night, I would carry him around and sing to him. For months, the only song that we sang was the Kinks "Tired of waiting" but when he had his infections, that stopped working. So I tried a lot of different songs, and nothing worked. one night, after talking to Zard on email, and thinking of her favorite song, I sang the chorus to "misplaced" to him. It worked like magic. He immediately settled down and went to sleep. Since then, it has never failed. I save it for when he is the most upset and it works every time. so, I don't know what it is, but I think there is definately a special connection between the guys and little kids, well at least mine for sure. - - Harry - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 16:02:12 -0500 From: Autumn Patterson Subject: Win tickets to 9:30 club show...

That's Generation X. (Really, it's the younger part of Gen-X.) Post-X'ers are Millennials. They're supposed to be more idealistic than X'ers. Lest you forget, we, that is *my* generation, are also the spawn of Baby Boomers to a large extent. The difference, in a very short summary, is that when I was born (1966) children were looked at as a hinderance, something to hold you back, a drag. When Millennials were born, children were a yuppie accessory, a Must-Have. (This is in popular culture, not in anybody's particular family, mind you.) Anyway, the 70s were a terrible time to grow up; the 80s were a terrible time to come of age. If you didn't have to, thank your lucky stars and make the most of the advantage you have. I think it's interesting that Fruvous fans span three generations; I place Fruvous as the quintessential gen-x band because of the attitude of their songs and the way they are on stage. *shrug* - --Amanda, Official member of Generation X - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 01:06:48 GMT From: LuCkYDaBeD@aol.com Subject: Re: Stuff no one else remembers (was Grover) In a message dated 1/27/99 1:04:04 PM Central Standard Time, bbwminors@aol.com writes: > I came to the conclusion while taking care of my grandmother in the hospital > a > few years ago that there is simply a "Saved By The Bell" channel ... where > it's > on permanent rotation.

The weird thing is, no matter how annoying I think it is (and believe me, I think it is VERY annoying), I will be compelled to watch and find out what happens to Didi or Stephanie. And the antics of Joey and the Olson Twin's character were always so corny that it compelled me to watch some more. - --gus ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #98 *******************************************
