The Eagles: Flying High
Laura Jackson

Piatkus Books, 2008

A Distant Second Among the Three Eagles Biographies Available
It's not like there are a lot of Eagles biographies floating around out there, and Laura Jackson (no relation to me, despite having the same last name, so no nepotism at work in this review) does cover some ground not found in "To the Limit" by Marc Eliot or "The Long ...

Under Stately Oaks: A Pictorial History of Lsu
Thomas F. Ruffin

Louisiana State University Press, 2006

Great book! Any LSU grad will love this one...
I really liked the old photos of Tiger Stadium and the campus. I never knew there was a lake behind the greek amphitheatre way back when. I recommend this book highly along with LSU grad Chris Warner's "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football". Both are very good.

Great Biography of Kiefer Sutherland
I am a hugh fan of Kiefer Sutherland & have alot of his movies. When I saw this book I just had to buy it to see if there were things that I didn't know about him as a person or an actor. Mostly of what you know comes from the media, magazines & the internet, but the ...

Steven Tyler: The Biography
Laura Jackson

Piatkus Books, 2008

One of the worst biographies ever
This book is nothing more than a watered down version of "Walk this Way: An Autobiography of Aerosmith". Even though it is supposed to be the biography of its front man, there is as almost as much information about other band members, but essentially it is just a ...
  
  











  



  
The Haunting of Hill House (Penguin Classics)
Shirley Jackson

Penguin Classics, 2006

Read and reread
This is a book I return to again and again. Jackson's subtle characters are what make the story work so well. We yearn to make Nell happy and whole, see her revel in friendships and maybe her first long-overdue love affair, but know it's doomed from the start. The ...

A fantastic insight into how the man became the legend. Read about his passion, motivation & work-aholic ethics & how they make him continually strive for more. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in knowing where John Bongiovi came from & the path he & his ...

Paul Simon: The Definitive Biography
Laura Jackson

Citadel, 2004

Far from a definitive biography.....very far
Apparently, Laura Jackson has written other biographies of famous entertainers, Queen, Bono, Mick Jagger, The Eagles, etc. This book begins with the 911 disaster and ends with that also. Very few of Simon's celebrity friends were listed as interviewees, Lorne ...
