A History of the 31st Georgia Volunteer Infantry: This Most Bloody and Cruel Drama (Army of Northern Virginia Series, 8th V)
Published in Hardcover by Butternut & Blue (July, 1997)
Author: Gregory C. White
Average review score:

Excellent regimental review
Ten years of research by the author is a fair guide to the amount of information contained in this book. The 31st Georgia, part of "Stonewall" Jackson's legendary foot cavalry saw action in almost every major battle in the eastern theatre. Mr White's research covers not just the battles, and the commanders of the 31st (most notably John Gordon) but also many personal details of the humble private. A fitting finale is a comprehensive roster of the regiment with as many details of each member as the author has been able to find - including in many places the date of death for those that survived. I really enjoyed all of this book - the author's research has led to a fine regimental history.

This is a wonderful cookbook for those who were raised in the South. It is full of wonderful recipes for things that you remember eating at Grandma's house! Interesting short articles and pictures of Mrs.Talmadge's life also, but the recipes are superb!

Imagineering Atlanta: The Politics of Place in the City of Dreams (Haymarket Series)
Published in Paperback by Verso Books (August, 1900)
Author: Charles Rutheiser
Average review score:

The Disney-fication of Atlanta
Charles Rutheiser has added an impressive new addition to the literature of urban anthropology. In this, his latest offering, he chronicles Atlanta's urban redevelopment for the 1996 Summer Olympics. Like a hacksaw, Rutheiser sheers away at the Olympic hype, leaving only the truth of a "imagineered" Atlanta of the New South. As one who lived in Atlanta during the craziness of the Olympics, Rutheiser's observations are dead-on and leads the reader to view Atlanta as a "constructed" New Southern City.

In Line at the Lost and Found
Published in CD-ROM by Ladybug Press (01 March, 2000)
Author: Georgia Jones
Average review score:

Move Over Neil Simon!
Such a great book to read over the holidays, I have never laughed so hard. This 'humor' was just what any 'good read' requires.

If you have ever thought about retirement, been downsized, or just aren't aging well, this book will make you smile.

I look forward to this authors next novel. (You should get your copy now because Hollywood will love this one.)

In the Midst of Lions (Shadow Catchers, 2)
Published in Paperback by Bethany House (June, 1996)
Author: Sara Mitchell
Average review score:

Sara Mitchell is incredible!
This was a wonderful book! You will feel for Elizabeth and Simon as they find their way through a sinister plot. Elizabeth is a child of God and Simon wants nothing to do with her or her God. Will he believe before it's too late? I read the first book in this series, "Trial of the Innocent", and told myself that Ms. Mitchell surely wouldn't be able to do better that that! I was wrong!

Interracialism and Christian Community in the Postwar South: The Story of Koinonia Farm
Published in Hardcover by University Press of Virginia (July, 1997)
Author: Tracy Elaine K'Meyer
Average review score:

History Kept Alive
This book is a very well researched and accurate reporting of the events that occured at Koinonia Farm from its founding in 1942 and the three decades that followed. As someone deeply interested in the history of Koinonia Farm, I use the book often as a reference, and a starting point to discovering new aspects of the community.

Though things have quieted down at Koinonia in recent years, community members try to keep the spirit of Clarence and Florence Jordan and the other founders alive. This book goes a long way in helping with this desire.

If you are new Koinonia Farm, I highly recommend this book to inspire the desire to learn more, and become more involved in the issues that still face Koinonia, and the country as a whole. If you are already familiar, this book will provide the details that make Koinonia's history an inspiring topic.

Interruptions (Suny Series, Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory)
Published in Paperback by State Univ of New York Pr (August, 1996)
Authors: Hans-Jost Frey and Georgia Albert
Average review score:

A rare, thought-provoking book
This book is something like the description of bare life that informs one of Giorgio Agamben's recent books. Consisting of fragments that will never end up whole, much like the fabulous sherds from the broken vessel of the Lurianic Kabbalah that disperse throughout the darkness of space during the world's creation, this text flickers with meaning and insight, and accomplishes something very rare: it does not flinch from placing the barest facts of life on display. It is an ethnography of the everyday, a meditative reflection on states of being, tuning in to the author's many years of patient elaboration of difficult texts as a professor of literature, and produces at certain times a space that succeeds in approaching Blanchot's. This is highly unusual. This unpretentious book serves keen insights to a patient reader, in a simple, unadorned language informed by a life that has been thought as well as lived, and has soaked up pieces of the world. The section on love and breaking up is very special and extraordinarily touching, to the point that one can't bear to read on because it's just too honest a description of the experience. It is probably the high point of the book's many excursions into fragmentary life. The entire book is a testament to the remainders in life that aren't appropriable but still stay with us anyway and even motivate our choices. In the end the purpose of the book is to be something like the ornament of this task of thinking the remainders of life: the arabesque line of lived thought. As for the translation, it is quietly exquisite in its evocation of the simple style and its rendering into English of the occasional word play of the original German.

Other recent ethnographic works of everyday life have tried and failed to capture what this little book does. I am thinking of the French ethnographer Marc Auge's forays into airport waiting rooms, or riding the Paris metro at night, where he encounters others and attempts to produce a theory of his relations to them, but ultimately one concludes that all this is really only the fiction of his own imagination, rather than a pause such as Frey takes that opens outward to live and think the experiences that are specific to our relations with others. Frey suggests in this little zen book, or manifesto, how our so-called "relations" to ourselves and others are really ungrounded, and will always remain non-relations, broken off experiences, interrupted.

The Intimate Eye (Black Lace)
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Virgin Publishing (October, 1902)
Author: Georgia Angelis
Average review score:

A very lusty historical romp.

Even though proper Lady Catherine is married to the most lecherous man in the county, Sir Horace, she finds herself greatly unfulfilled. But all that is about to change when Joshua Foxe takes up residence in their country estate to paint the family portraits. As the handsome artist turns her household upside down, Lady Catherine will soon realize that her husband isn't the only one in her family engaging in wanton behavior. Seduction and titillation abounds in the ultimate raunchy house party.

This book is a sexy read with a little of everything to satisfy everyone. I highly recommend it to readers of Georgian and Regency romances who have been feeling a little bored with the genre lately and, dare I say, unsatisfied.
