The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 In bits and pieces, Allan Sutton Directory of American disc record brands and manufacturers 1891-1943 More complete than Rust's old book on the subject, which just stuck to what jazz fans would be interested in.

Brad Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 The narrator of this book is Joseph Roth’s Rebellion. Half the book deals with Roth and the other with the current owner, whose grandfather saved it from a Nazi book burning in 1933. Unusual and strange book.

Unusual and strange book. that's one of the Joseph Roth books I know the least... sound very interesting ... (moving in with my girlfirend soon, so the Joseph Roth Poster will probably have to move to my office... those tradeoffs...moving the record collection to my office is not an option for various reasons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also the sequel, the Emperor’s Tomb. Not as good as the Radetzky March but still worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 It's been a while but I read most of Roth's ficition and quite a bit of the non-fiction at some point... I liked the Emperor's Tomb a lot actually, other favorites were Flight without End (best of the early work, can also be read as an indirect sequel to Radetzky March even though the family is named Tunda there and not Trotta) and Weights and Measures (my favorite among his Eastern Jewish themed work, I like it better than Job for instance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really seems to capture the vibe of 1969, at least from the vantage point of being on the road with the Stones--a road that's leading to Altamont: Stanley Booth is a Memphian and, I believe, lives in my neighborhood. He has a collection about Memphis musicians called Rhythm Oil that I can hardly recommend highly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesnik Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Otherwise known as L'Etranger. Yes, this one also belonged to my mother. Purchase date Sep. 1961. I believe this is where the idea for The Cure's Killing an arab comes from. I think I already read it, but like 40 years ago. So I'm rereading it. On 4/24/2022 at 10:31 PM, jlhoots said: Looking forward to the next Don Winslow: City On Fire - comes out next week That's one I've ordered from my regular bookshop as well. I'm a big Winslow fan and have read almost anything he's put out. But there's his debut from 1991, I think, which I can't get hold of. And I ordered it but it's OOP. I think it's called something like Underground. If anybody has a clue as to how to find it I'd be very grateful.
