Greyfriar is by far the 2010 title that moved me the most emotionally. It rates up there among the action adventure titles too since the suspence and combat action was there is spades too but it was the true to reality emotion that made the story the best. Clay and Susan have a real live and affection for their subject matter - alternate victoriana, steampunk and vampires returning all those memes to things I look forward to. They imagined a dark world and populated it with bright spots that I long for more of. They gave me heroes to cheer for and predatory villains to love to hate. Top that with the fact that I cried real tears at the end and take the book everywhere still a were later. Loved the book.

Mike Resnick recasts the shootout at the OK Corral in a setteing alive with magics of multiple kinds but most of all the magic of his furtile immagination. His versions of Doc Holiday, Johnny Ringo, Bat Masterson and on and on live in my mind right alongside the brillant movie versions from Tombstone. His west is a forign yet familiar frontier and I hope for more adventures in this land with potent medicine man magic right alongside whitman technology.
Ok, yes she is a judge on a reality show but the former model can write some great recipes; they are not too difficult and they are from all over the world. This book will require that you find some of the indian and arab markets in your area but it is really worth the time to look into these under appreciated treasures if you have them near you. The dishes in this book will make you learn to appreciate new flavors and to experiment with items that may frighten you. There is a dish that will cured my fear of fillo dough and is worth the occasional curse word to finish. The range of variety in this book and the clarity of the instruction will surprise you . If you are at all interested in ethnic food exploration this is a great place to head towards.
To start off I have to say that in terms of recipes I have yet to have one by Gordon Ramsay fail on me. This book is exceptional if you are a fan of Indian Food and will introduce you to dishes you will not find in your regular restaurant; he includes Puri witch are a standard of Indian breakfasts which are deep fried breads that are puffy delicate and not a bit greasy and egg curry that is delicious simple and of all things cheap to make. Along with the various dishes he puts in things about his trip and I cant say how much I would love to see the series that the book is based on. I have made about a quarter of the dishes in the book - a little from each section and have yet to come across something too complicated and less then great in taste. its worth the cost of the import fee... I have been a fan since trying to cook his dishes and have yet to fell let down. Get it you will thank him.
