Ultra Lounge: The Lexicon of Easy Listening by Dylan Jones

It is a book that focuses on Easy Listening music and covers the many artists who fall into the genre, including Herb Alpert, Burt Bacharach, The Carpenters, Esquivel and Swing Out Sister, and also the different types of Easy Listening music such as Muzak, Exotica, and Space-Age Pop. Much of the book consists of reprints of pre-existing articles on the artists from other sources, and also features sections that contain album covers of various Easy Listening artists, including some who might not be thought of as Easy Listening but have dipped their toes into Easy Listening like The Beach Boys, The B-52's, and Glen Campbell.

What, after all, is wrong with that? Charming and instructional, in my opinion!

No wonder kids have no sense of history….

I remember picking up a newer edition of a children's book originally published in the days of Walkman cassette players and realizing that the publisher had updated the Walkman cassette player to a CD Walkman

Just finished When The Eagle Hunts by Simon Scarrow. Book 3 of the Eagles series, this was another excellent story involving 2 Roman soldiers who are part of the effort for Rome to control Briton.

I also finished The Hugo Stories Vol 5 by Mike Resnick. Just like the rest of this series of Hugo nominated and winning stories, some are hit or miss, some excellent. Most are not very science fictiony, set in the offworld of Kirinyaga, which is intended as a utopia returning to the pre-technology days of future Kenya. Book 3 of this series is the only one I can really recommend based on what I enjoyed.

Moving onto Well-Schooled in Murder by Elizabeth George, book 3 in the Inspector Lynley series.
