i loved this book. i picked it up on a whim, thinking "hm, i don't really know enough about punk," and i couldn't put it down. (which became amusing: what's LESS punk than opting out of a crazy fun party on a friday night to stay in and read a book about punk?) the book is compiled entirely of excerpts from interviews with all the people who were involved in the New York punk scene. Leggs McNeil, the author, was one of the founders of Punk! magazine, and was actually the person who came up with the term 'punk' to begin with. the structure of the book is the best part; there isn't a single word added in by the authors. they took interviews over the years and then from them pieced together a chronological account of the evolution of punk from its origins in the mid-60s in the andy warhol scene with the velvet underground, up through the heyday of new york punk at CBGBs, and finally through to its meltdown as the music went corporate and everyone started dropping left and right from herion addictions (on a side note, if you want a reason not to do smack, read this book and you'll be convinced). it's like one long chat over coffee the night after an amazing show: just stories from everyone involved. gossip, sex, drugs, music, love, prostitution (dee dee ramone hustled guys! a fun fact for your next dinner party), fights, record deals... the whole 9. the interviewees include iggy pop, angie bowie, william burroughs, all the ramones, danny fields, bebe buell, patti smith, richard hell, and everyone you never knew was involved. you'll end up knowing all kinds of crap about punk, but mostly having loved the book.

what do you say about one of the greatest masterpieces ever written? All his books are wonderful; this is certainly the best, most magical, most interesting and complex novel I've ever read in my life. His translator Rabassa is fantastic; his themes are everything most important to us in the world; he is as deep and amazing as Dostoyevski.

Alice McDermott has a very inviting, breezy style of writing that captures the reader's attention. While I'm ambivalent as to whether this is great story or not, it was a quick, painless read.

West's history is an engaging, well-researched, and troubling read. Initially planning on writing about the Colorado Gold Rush (which, coming from CA, I never heard about, but it actually drew more people than our '49er version), West found the more compelling story to lie along the route across the prairie and plains states to Colorado. This region was the homeland of several Native American tribes, who had occupied the region for centuries (though some more recently than others--how often do non-Natives consider that Indians have pre-white history, changes in culture, migrations, etc.?) These tribes had fairly recently become equine. West contrasts two "visions," that of equine Indians who were now using the “fuel” of the plains grasses for their horses to hunt, and the Anglo Americans, who initially saw the plains primarily as a place to get through on the way to the promoted prosperity of the gold rush. Over time, however, whites settled in the areas in-between, causing the "Indian Wars" as the two groups fought over which human "vision" for the plains would win out. West is quite pessimistic that there could have been a compromise, unlike (to some degree) what happened in Mexico. Myself, I don't know. We can really never know, but it’s hard to imagine that the brutal massacres at Sand Creek and other places couldn't have been avoided. A very objective account; history often speaks for itself.
Read this book in college while studying for a degree in Music Business. From what I remember, it was decent, just not exciting.

I really enjoyed this book... I related to her tone, sense of humor, self deprecation... she was a mix between down to earth/reality and dreams of something 'more', which I think is probably true of many of us out there... As a friend said, India was a little harder to get through than the other 2 sections but I was interested in the whole ashram/meditation thing so I tried to use it more as a learning experience rather than a plot driven section. I was starving throughout Italy, wanted to go to Bali to relax for a few months, and India made me want to learn more about meditation & my own spirituality, as it is an area of my life that is a pretty grey zone. I did have to wonder if she took some liberties with some of the 'coincidences' (like, did the ex's lawyer REALLY call while she was in the car w/ her friend asking everyone to sign her 'petition'?), but part of me wants to believe that lots of these things happened exactly that way, so I will just go with it... I heard today that they are making a movie of this book starring Julia Roberts...not exactly the actress I picture in this role- I see more of a young Kyra Sedgwick...basically someone younger, blonder & a little more "girl next door" than Julia Roberts. Oh well, I will still go see it :)
** spoiler alert ** I enjoyed this book, it started off real nice - the characters were engaging, our heroine was different and Lord Ferdinand was wonderful. The way things turned out, the misunderstanding of the estate really gave a nice twist and I quite enjoyed all the verbal battles and stubbornness. But I loved the fact how Ferdinand was such a gentleman really. He played all the games Viola threw his way and he came through with class. It was such a shocker to find out the real identity of Viola! I felt the rug had been dragged from under my feet. And how I feared for Ferdinand, but he surprised me once more with the way he handled everything. I liked the idea that Viola wasn't our average lady, and her past was grim and sordid - something she faced and accepted with great dignity [though I hated the courtesan she became while talking to Ferdinand whenever her guard was up] But thank god for the Dudley's apparent history of falling in love with their mistresses. The ending was just like any other romance novel but satisfying none the less. I would have loved to see Kirby die actually, nothing less would bring me comfort. Filth like him really should be in the bowels of hell.
