Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, #4)

Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, #4)

Wizard and Glass picks up where the last book left off, with our hero, Roland, and his unlikely band of followers escaping from one world and slipping into the next. And it is there that Roland tells them a story, one that details his discovery of something even more elusive than the Dark Tower: love. But his romance with the beautiful and quixotic Susan Delgado also has its dangers, as her world is tom apart by war. Here is Roland's journey to his own past, to a time when valuable lessons awaited him, lessons of loyalty and betrayal, love and loss.

Bachelor Brothers Bed Breakfast Pillow Book

Bachelor Brothers  Bed   Breakfast Pillow Book

Bachelor Brothers Bed Breakfast Pillow Book

A pair of endearingly eccentric bachelors--in their fifties, and fraternal twins--own and operate a bed & breakfast establishment where people like them, the "gentle and bookish and ever so slightly confused," can feel at home. Hector and Virgil think of their B&B as a refuge, a retreat, a haven, where folks may bring their own books or peruse the brothers' own substantial library. An antic blend of homespun and intellectual humor, Bachelor Brothers' Bed and Breakfast is a place readers will want to return to again and again.

Psychoshop

Psychoshop

Psychoshop

The Black Place of the Soul-Changer was doing business in Rome six centuries before Christ. It will probably be there on the last day of the cosmos. This is the Psychoshop, where you can dump any unwanted aspect of your spirit as long as you exchange it for something else -- arcane knowledge, a change of luck, or a sixth sense. Just remember: All sales are final.

Half finished upon Bester's death, and completed by Zelazny, Psychoshop envisions a commercial establishment that attracts customers from Edgar Allan Poe to a sorcerer intent on fabricating the Beast of Revelations. Brimming with wit and imagination, scandalously sexy and fabulously strange, Psychoshop is science fiction as you've never read it before.

From Wodehouse to Wittgenstein

From Wodehouse to Wittgenstein

From Wodehouse to Wittgenstein

In this his first collection of writings for many years, Anthony Quinton addresses the central political, philosophical and religious issues of our day. The book is divided into four sections. The first considers large political and social questions, culminating in the question of modern ethics. The second applies ideas to specific social and educational concerns. The third part takes a historical and thematic line to consider imperialism, property, madness and homosexuality from perspectives previously established. The final section, which begins with his essay on 'The Inner Life', considers the claims of the imagination and the limits of subjectivity in the art and the lives of artists and philosophers. It is here that we get the wry juxtaposition of Wodehouse and Wittgenstein.
