Book Description
From the O. Henry Prize and PEN/ Hemingway Award-winning author of Truth Serum and Maps to Anywhere comes a masterful, exquisitely crafted collection of short stories.
Bernard Cooper's fiction probes some of the most perplexing experiences of modern American life: the unpredictable nature of love, the riddle of sexuality, the intricacies of family relationships, and coping with loss in the age of AIDS. With his razor-sharp wit and unsparing honesty, Cooper peels back layers of the familiar, exposing the surprising truths that shape our lives.
In "Bit-O-Honey," a middle-aged barber visits his estranged father on Halloween, disguised as a trick-or-treater; a young pregnant woman in "What to Name the Baby" negotiates life with her father and his elderly lover while traveling in a cramped Winnebago; and in "Hunters and Gatherers," a Mormon couple orchestrates a misguided party game while hosting a dinner for the few homosexuals they know.
Whether Cooper is writing about a dying man's acts of vandalism, a divorce under house arrest, or a young boy's sexual awakening, his stories contain startling insight into the workings of the human heart. Resonant and often hilarious, the stories in Guess Again are unlike any you have read before.

Fiction From A Master Memoir Writer.......2001-11-28
The author of "Truth Serum," an astonishing memoir of childhood, presents here a collection of short fiction. The tone and voice in these stories are familiar from Cooper's earlier writing. He relates his tales in an introspective but not maudlin manner. Cooper can write about heartbreaking circumstances without self pity, pathos, or mockery. He takes an empathic stance toward all of his characters. The element of recall is ever present. Most of the stories relate an interesting circumstance and contain in the middle a reminiscence of an earlier time that is thematically connected to the present. In this sense, these short stories are similar to the memoirs Cooper has previously written.
Some of the stories have outrageously off-beat, humorous premises ("What To Name The Baby," "A Man In The Making," "Hunters and Gatherers"). They are rarely, however, written for out-loud laughs. Rather, they serve to explore human nature and emotional tenor. Cooper is particularly adept at delving into the warmth of romantic ties. His depictions of love relationships ("Exterior Decoration," "Old Birds," "Hunters and Gatherers") convey intimacy succinctly, clearly, and movingly.
The painfully raw, embarrassing awkwardness of budding adolescent sexuality is explored in "A Man In The Making." This story begins with a cryptic situation that unfolds into a cringe-inducing event that reveals so much about how alone young adults can be with their erotic impulses. The tenacity of personality, even in the face of deteriorating health, is demonstrated in the tender and clever "Exterior Decoration." Cooper's oft-visited theme of family ties sees endings and beginnings folding into and strenghening one another in "Old Birds." The varieties of domestic arrangements are considered in the highly amusing "What To Name The Baby." This collection of short pieces is a very fine book. If it is not as strong as "Truth Serum," it must be remembered that few books could be. Cooper is a writer whose work is becoming consistently rewarding and rich.
No Guesswork Here: You Must Buy This Book!.......2001-06-11
Bernard Cooper's collection of short stories is one of the easiest and funniest reads you'll ever encounter. This is remarkable not because Cooper doesn't have the literary talent. He has it in buckets. What's remarkable is that Cooper's stories, at their core, deal with some rather heartbreaking realities of gay life in America: the ravages of AIDS, homophobia, men and women searching for or creating their identity within a culture that pushes them to the side and says, we are normal, you are not. Cooper tells us of the married Mormon who realizes he's gay but has been counseled by the church's elders to fight these impulses and seek the company of men. He decides to follow his advice and throw a party for every gay male he and his skeptical wife know. A man dying of AIDS decides to add color and style to his neighbors' lives by sneaking out at night and putting up tasteful porchlights, rearranging plants, and painting garage doors and walls. His partner is mortified by this artistic vigilantism and doesn't know how to stop him. Certainly, a couple of the stories are not funny such as "X" where we find a young man numbing his senses with drugs as he recalls his first touch with homophobia.
I was surprised to find that I had already read several of these stories in various literary journals over the past several years. Despite this, I enjoyed re-reading them and realized that Cooper is not only a fine writer, he is a master at describig the human condition in such a way that gay or straight readers will identify with the characers on some level. This is a wonderful book.
Classic Fiction.......2001-03-23
This collection of stories is a good one. They are able to transcend the conventions of the current time -- ie. they are not quirky or full of sex sex sex, but instead, they work with character and story. Still, with hats off to his more traditional narrative form, the author also is writing about today and the peculiar necessity for hope needed now in this new century. I would recommend this book to anyone who respects good writing but lives within this difficult modern world. The best of both worlds here.
Insights into the soul.......2001-03-05
I loved this collection. I picked it up because of the mysterious cover and then followed that impulse forward, reading Cooper's stories as they worked their investigative magic into the souls of his characters. There is something so valuable about work like this that it transcends the normal rhthym and demands of a work-a-day world. I felt both renewed and more in touch with what matters, with the way the world could look to us if we had the keen eye at work in the language of this writer. A deep deep joy here.
What a Remarkable Book!!!.......2000-12-06
Words can't describe how much I enjoyed these 11 stories by Bernard Cooper. I have read all of his other wonderful books (Truth Serum, Maps to Anywhere, & A Year of Rhymes) but this is by far my favorite. This is an exquisite collection of short stories that are so full of passion & humanity. They can be sad and heart-breaking but also very funny all at the same time. In other words, these stories have so many different emotions in them that you can't help but be moved and enjoy them.
In "Hunters and Gatherers", a Mormon couple have a party game while hosting a dinner for a few gays that they know. This couple is odd, and what they make their guests do is really funny. I was so touched by "Exterior Decoration" a story that dealt with Ray & Cliff's relationship in the face of AIDS. The story was so heartbreaking yet it was so funny at the same time. Bernard Cooper has a way of bringing out all the emotions you could possible feel, but when you are done reading his stories, you won't feel unhappy, you'll feel very satisfied & fulfilled. I wish I could tell you all about "Old Birds", but I can't! Wait till you read this, it is so funny! When I read this story my parrot was sitting with me, and looking at me like I was crazy, because I was laughing out loud so hard. What a story!!
Guess Again is unlike any other book you have read before. It gets my highest recommendation. Make sure you read this great book!!

very intriguing.......2007-02-26
Although I did not find this as good as the first in the series, I was still drawn into the charcters and world created by Dayton. In this strange world where magic exist, there are born powerful "naitans," wielders of magic, and women are the rulers and holders of powerful positions in government and family. The families, "ilian," can include four or five women and men and can extend to up to twelve adults. These people sleep together and when a child is born they raise it as their own even if they are not the blood father or mother. I could go on and on about this fasinating world created by Dayton. Learning about this world alone is worth reading the book.
There is a plot to the story, Kallista, is the most powerful naitan of her time. She is called "godstruck," and she is the number one defense against the demons that are trying to distroy her people. In this book, seven demons have infiltrated her country and she and her ilian, are split up. Without them close by, she cannot use her magic as efficiently and strongly as she needs to distroy the demons.
I thought the plot of this one was not as strong as the first, but I still enjoyed myself. Warning to those who are a bit passive when it comes to sex scenes, there is a high concentration of them in this book.
An intriguing world.......2006-09-07
Gail Dayton continues her story began in "The Compass Rose," of Major Kallista Varyl, now a mother of twins and head of a large family or 'ilian.' She is also a 'naitan,' or wielder of magic, in a world where rebel forces assisted by demons are threatening world order. I was less intrigued by the major plot events involving this threat than I was by the unusual social organization and concept of family introduced by the author. Not as good as the first, but worth a read.
Fantastic fantasy.......2006-03-01
Kallista is the focus of her temple bound mates (a group marriage of husbands and wives known as an ilian) able to draw the magic from them to use in the defense of Adara. After defeating the foreign enemies of her country last year, Kallista and her iIlian retire to the countryside and she gives birth to twins and Aisse is pregnant. When Reinine Serysta recalls Kallista she has the twins, accompanied by, Stone, Fox, and Aisse and the nanny to a place of safety fearing danger has come to Adara.
She learns that a civil war is taking place and the rebels might possess gunpowder. Kallista and her llian are sent to the rebel stronghold to ferret out information that can be used in the defense of the capital city. To save the children, Fox lets himself be captured and Kallista's main goal now is to free him. Kallista, the first godstruck in a millennium with the unheard of magical powers of the West is the only one who can fight and destroy the demons if they don't kill her first. After rejoining Fox and reuniting with the rest of her Ilian, she has enough power to fight the demons if she can find out who they are possessing.
More husbands and wives are added to Kallista's ilian including the children's nanny and a former enemy making the group more powerful than any other in the country. The world building in THE BARBED ROSE is fantastic; making readers feel the place really exists. The characters are real, totally likeable and complex and readers enjoy getting to know the members of the ilian. In a world where everyday magic is taken for granted the heroine stands alone because she has great magic and an ever growing magical ability. Gail Dayton's tale has many surprises in store for the reader especially the dramatic ending.

Book Description
In the aftermath of the Second World War, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart - then a young subaltan - was involved in intelligence operations in the Greek islands. But now his problems are rather closer to home. The Doctor and Jo are caught up in mysterious events in a small English village. Sergeant Benton and Captain Yates are ready to rush to the rescue. A sinister cult holds unholy ceremonies and prepares for a day of reckoning. And the Doctor has a shrewd idea who might be behind it all.

Can he once again help prevent the end of the world? His friends and colleagues are not so sure - because this time, the Brigadier has fallen in love...

A 40th anniversary special that's not very special.......2004-10-17
One of the staples of "trad" (traditional) Who fiction is Terrance Dicks. He first joined the show in 1968, was the script editor for the entire Third Doctor era (1970-73), and has written many of the classic Who episodes. He's even written some of the new Dr. Who fiction since the television series ended. Barry Letts was the producer for the entire Third Doctor era. So you'd think that, writing a Third Doctor book, they could do no wrong. Right? Well, sort of.
Deadly Reunion is a 40th anniversary Who special, and in doing that Dicks and Letts have written a wonderful homage to the TV show. Unfortunately, what they forgot to do is make an interesting book. Sure, there's a lot of Who nostalgia in it, especially Third Doctor nostalgia. However, considering that Third Doctor fans are only a small part of a rather small to begin with fan base, you have to wonder who they're trying to cater to? And why they couldn't write a good book on top of the nostalgia trip. It can be done. Not this time.
Deadly Reunion throws in bits of Dr. Who clichés all over the place. There's the companion, running from the bad guys, tripping and injuring her ankle. There's Sergeant Benton threatening to "thump" somebody. There's the Third Doctor's Venusian Aikido. There's the Doctor's penchant for name dropping (he talks about running with the bulls with Ernest Hemingway, or "Ernie" as he calls him). An old friend stopping by (though he's really inconsequential and obviously just in there for the anniversary). Sedate English village where trouble is brewing. It's all there, in point form. Unfortunately, Dicks has also acquired some new, somewhat distasteful clichés as well. There's the numerous references to the possibilities of assault (first Sephie and then Jo), which just gave me the willies. It's like your elderly uncle sitting down and telling you dirty stories. Ick.
Then there are the structural problems. In fact, there's one huge internal continuity problem that I don't know how it was missed. When Jo and the Doctor are going down to Hob's Haven to get tickets for the festival, it's supposed to take place "next week." Then, events happen, but they're all confined to one day. All of a sudden, they're talking about the festival beginning "tomorrow night." Huh? There's no mention of it being moved up. In fact, the timeline is a bit suspect no matter how you think about it. All of the sequences involving Sergeant Benton and Captain Yates seem like they would have to take place over a matter of a couple of days, but given the text of the book, it's impossible for them to have done so. It all has to happen the same day. It was enough to tax my mind as I was trying to figure out just what was happening when.
I also had a problem with Lethbridge-Stewart falling in love that quickly. He sees Persephone and he's immediately in love. This is not like him at all. However, there is no indication there was any kind of mind-control, even unconsciously, on Persephone's part. She talks like she's instantly in love with him too. It was just too unbelievable, even more so if you know Lethbridge-Stewart's character like most Who fans do.
There are some good parts to the book, though. With the exception of Lethbridge-Stewart falling in love so quickly, all of the main characters are tremendous. These two authors know their Third Doctor and friends, and it's like old home week. The Doctor is wonderfully arrogant but also kind-hearted. He's offended when he's mistaken for one of the pop stars that are coming to the festival. He's witty and I can almost hear Jon Pertwee's voice when he's thundering at the policeman who can't seem to realize that somebody cannot cut their own head off cleanly with a scythe. Deadly Reunion was a wonderfully cozy book on this front.
Unfortunately, as the book was drawing to a close, I couldn't see any way out of it but the obvious deus ex machina. Granted, this was what the Doctor was trying to do in the first place, so I guess it doesn't totally fit that expression. I was hoping, though, that he would fail and figure out some other way to defeat the menace. I was wrong. The ending is trite, and more importantly, doesn't even use the "love" that's between Persephone and the Brigadier. When you think about it, there's no point for the love story between them, as it's only responsible for setting the brigadier off on a macho military plan that he ultimately would have decided to do anyway, even without the love story. Why was this in there? There's no "Aha!! Lethbridge-Stewart! So we meet again!" confrontation between the Brigadier and Hades. They never even interact again! I was left shaking my head.
I've gone on longer than this book probably deserves. It's a bit of nostalgic fluff, and it won't amount to any more than that. Thankfully, it doesn't try to. It won't be of interest to anybody but a Who fan, as it's not well-written enough to attract anybody else. Even a Who fan will see all its flaws. The question will be: are you so much a fan of Dicks and the Third Doctor that you will overlook it? I'm glad I read it, but I won't be racing to read it again.

Good start, okay ending.......2004-07-01
This book was a very quick read--nothing wrong with its pacing! Almost the entire first half is taken up by the adventures of a young lieutenant Lethridge-Stewart in the Greek islands. What starts as a boring foray into the world of intelligence quickly turns into a tale of derring-do, as Lethridge-Stewart is thrust into the world of the former Greek gods (an improbably immortal race with all sorts of powers who were the basis of the Greek pantheon way back when). Alistair helps save the day and gets the girl, but then loses her--not that he remembers any of it by the time it's all said and done. This first half is very well done, though the bombardment of British slang got to be a bit much for a Yank like me, even with helpful characters translating.
The second half takes place in "contemporary" times, with Brigadier Lethridge-Stewart, UNIT, the Doctor, and Jo. Everyone is characterized well, especially Benton, who is given several chances to carry a scene (whereas Yates is mostly window dressing). Not surprisingly, the baddie thought dispatched in the first part of the book is up to his old tricks, which leads to lots of investigating by the Doctor, and the resurfacing of old memories and feelings for Alistair. The first part of the second half was also well done, as the Doctor and Jo try and figure out what's going on, and the UNIT chappies get to stretch their own research legs. As the book reaches its conclusion, however, you realize that there's not too much to this story--the Doctor doesn't end up doing much more than investigating and talking to people; he's more of an enabler to get some of the other characters to act. Which I suppose might be in keeping with some of the 3rd Doctor TV shows, but still left me unsatisfied.
The whole thing wraps up with an unsurprising deus ex machina--literally. So, like I said, the first three-quarters are some good storytelling--but it seems like the authors were in a hurry to wrap up the story at the end, and took some shortcuts that ended up shortchanging the book. Still not a bad read, though.
Book Description
Gary Renard—best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe—is fast gaining recognition and popularity as a teacher who can grasp and transmit the teachings of A Course in Miracles. Today he offers The End of Reincarnation, a 2-CD learning set based on his sold-out workshops that glean the core principles into a program that is accessible to new and returning students alike. "The world you see is an illusion of a world," A Course in Miracles teaches. "When you really wake up, what appeared to be real before is now recognized as the idle dream it is." Gary Renard, who is the author of one of the most popular books ever written about the Course, guides listeners through its scriptural verses, and delivers them to a place where the need to reincarnate no longer exists. "I understand now that reincarnation is only something that appears to happen," Renard explains.
"It is just a continuation of the dream of birth and death." Distilled for people who have been curious about A Course in Miracles—as well as for continuing students who would like to deepen their studies—The End of Reincarnation offers listeners access to the essence of these teachings. Gary Renard's invaluable contribution is his ability to illuminate the peace available when we awaken from the dream, and to catalyze our experience of oneness with all of creation.

The End of Reincarnation.......2007-10-05
This 2 CD set is excellent. Gary has a very down to earth style in relating his own personal experiences in seeking spiritual enlightenment. Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, he gives very practical advice in how to forgive one self and others which ultimately will lead to peace in one's life. I truly believe that world peace will be achieved one person at a time, and it begins with me. Thank you, Gary.
Excellent!!!.......2007-09-21
Whether you've read Gary Renard's books or not, this is an Excellent audio for a great at-home workshop all about Forgiveness and going Home!
Woohooo!
The End of Reincarnation.......2007-09-19
I am loving this CD set. It reinforces what I've been learning in the "Course of Miracles." Gary Renard has presented the materials in a very easy to understand and entertaining fashion. When I have doubts I just listen to him and get encouraged to continue. Thank you Gary!!
Left with some questions.......2007-09-06
Please see my FOLLOW-UP EDIT, after the following original review:
I am about 3/4 the way through this audio set, and maybe that's why I still have some questions. First of all, I do (logically) understand the nature of duality, with duality being 'hell', and pure non-duality being 'heaven'.
And apparently, the key to pure non-duality is getting rid of unconscious guilt, through forgiveness of ourselves (& others). I love the forgiveness part, but I won't get in to that right now. I'll preface my question with some background: #1. According to the information in the book, our duality is a result of a "mad idea", which was over almost as soon as it happened (A bleep in time). Before the "mad idea", we were all one, and there was no duality.
#2. God did not create this illusion we call life, he did not create the earth, or anything associated with our physical, separate lives that are our pseudo reality. We created this illusion as a result of the "mad idea". The mad idea was that we thought we could do pretty good venturing out on our own.
Ok, here's where it doesn't make sense to me: If there was no duality before the mad idea, who had the mad idea? Did God have the mad idea, and if so, you could say he had a part in creating duality. If God did not have the mad idea, then we must have had it, and if so, there must have been duality before the mad idea.
As I said, I'm only 3/4 through these cd's, so I hope Gary explains a little more about this mad idea theory. Everything else I've heard so far makes perfect sense, but the conflict I'm having with this one question makes me question the validity of the rest of the info.
FOLLOW-UP EDIT: OK, I have finished this two cd set, Gary did discuss my question about the "mad idea" a little more. It seems that this is the most frequently asked question. His answer on the cd's still did not totally satisfy me, but apparently there is not an answer that we can totally understand. I have done a little more research on the internet in regards to this question, and everyone says the same thing, they give a small explanation, and follow up by saying that we will not hear an answer that satisfies us because there are no words to explain in a way we will understand. But....There is light at the end of the tunnel!!! I am about a quarter of the way through Gary's previous book, "The Disappearance of the Universe", and my question was discussed on pages 122-125! I was pleasantly surprised at just how well the issue was explained by Gary's ascended friends, Arten & Pursah. So if any of you are having the same trouble with the mad idea explanation of our creation 'illusion', just get the book I mentioned and pay special attention to pages 122-125! It's the best explanation I've heard so far! And by the way, for the cd's I'd change my rating from 4 stars to five if I could!
Gary Renard's Teachings from A Course In Miracles are SUPER!.......2007-03-09
For a changing energy on the planet today, moving away from fear and fighting, into peace and harmony...Gary's books and CDs are critical. They should be taught in every school in the world. A Course in Miracles can be a little daunting and mysterious. Gary's teachers take those lessons and make them crystal clear. His loving spirit is open to be a transmitter of those teachings, in a sweet, caring, easy to understand way. How did I ever get along without Gary Renard?

A refreshing take on color for interiors.......2003-02-11
This book looks at color in interior design from an entirely different perspective from most books on the subject. Each section outlines a different style of home, from historical to regional. It tells you the exact color palette for each style. Most of the book deals with historical styles, and I'm more interested in the regional syles than the historical ones, but it's still a fascinating subject. It's also very helpful when it comes to chosing a color palette for one's home.
brilliant.......2002-05-27
I went to the public library and looked through dozens of books on color in interior design before choosing three to buy, and this was one of the three. The author first discusses the history of color then makes presentations of varying length to showcase a number of historical (Georgian, Colonial, Rococo, Neoclassical, Victorian, Modernist and Post-Modern), national/regional (Tuscan, Mexican, Moroccan and Shaker) and predominant color (red, yellow, blue, green) schemes. Multiple examples are illustrated by sumptuous photographs, and palettes are included for each.
A concluding chapter on traditional sources of color is very interesting, and supplemental material includes a glossary; a directory to paint suppliers, places to visit, places to stay, and architects & designers; and an index.
(The other two books I chose at the library were J. Poore's Interior Color by Design and C. Barnes's Color for Your Home.)

A Humble Master of lettering.......2003-04-20
This book is probably one of the finest examples of logo and letterhead creation done by highly talented, top-end, design studios. Doyald young is able to share and teach through his accumulated works after a life-time of fruitful and disciplined effort. He has truly reached a pinnacle of artisitic striving, and should be treated as a national treasure! I have not purchased this book, but have checked it out of the library several times. I wish anyone interested in the lettered/graphic forms of language would study Doyald Young's works, and in this way, come to a true appreciation of how beautiful Word (art) can be. I learned more from this book than practically all the dry, scholarly works combined.
