I'd read those

[rostasi]

I'm still waiting for Braxton to catch up on his writings.

[jazzbo]

"Texus" by Henry Miller.

[clifford_thornton]

[paul secor]

anything written by paul secor or brownie.

I'd read those

Thanks for both compliments. I have to admit that I feel that I'm a mediocre writer on my best days.

I've enjoyed brownie's writings here, and would buy and read a collection of his life in the jazz world and his forays into other realms.

Another book that I'd buy and read, should it ever exist, would be The Nessa Chronicles. The few times that Chuck has stretched out on Organissimo have been special moments. He's a true writer, and as much as I enjoy his everyday pithy comments, I hope that he'll do more stretching out some day.

Books that you WISHED existed, that you'd actually buy, (or perhaps they do exist?? - !!!)

A book that tells teenagers that their college educated parents aren't stupid and just might know how to get accepted to college.

Nah.

That'll never happen.

What was I thinking?

The three or four sequels to The Witches of Karres that James H. Schmitz never wrote.

If I ever retire from retirement

I really appreciate the compliments!

The next three Culture novels, now.

[Niko]

Allen Lowe's 1950s jazz book.

allen, now that you are up to something else... what is the state of this book (which i have long been awaiting)?

[johnlitweiler]

In jazz:

I'd like to see thoroughly researched biographies on Jackie McLean and Albert Ayler

Actually, Peter Niklas Wilson wrote a conscientious biography of Albert Ayler titled Spirits Rejoice: Albert Ayler und seine Botschaft (that is, A.A. and his Message), published in 1996 by Wolke. But the book's in German.

[Jazzmoose]

Which reminds me...anyone know where I put John's book? I thought it was next to Hentoff's Jazz Life, but I can't find it...
