We are also scheduling Basic
Computer Classes starting February 7, 14 and 21 from 9 a.m. – 10:45. Space is
limited so stop by the library and sign up for either Gadget Night or the
Computer Classes or both!
When you are in next, you might want to check out one of our
new books. Here a few you might be
interested in.
Richard Burton Diaries
by Richard Burton. This volume publishes Burton's
extensive personal diaries in their entirety for the first time. His writings
encompass many years—from 1939, when he was still a teenager, to 1983, the year
before his death—and they reveal him in his most private moments, pondering his
triumphs and demons, his loves and his heartbreaks. The diary entries appear in
their original sequence, with annotations to clarify people, places, books, and
events Burton
mentions. From these hand-written pages emerges a multi-dimensional man, no
mere flashy celebrity.
Who I Am by Peter
Townshend. This clearly written, straightforward book (separated into three
"Acts") lays out, in a matter of fact style, everything that has made
(and is still making) Townshend who he is. He is at times brutally honest in
his writing. At other times he seems to be more removed from the events he
talks about. You may at times agree or disagree with what he writes. But taken
together, this is one of the most honest attempts to paint a picture of one's
self and the things that he's experienced, that any artist has written.
Rod: the Autobiography
by Rod Stewart. Now after more than five decades in the spotlight, he is
finally ready to take a candid and romping look back at his life both on and
off the stage. From his humble British roots to his hell-raising years on tour
with his bandmates, not forgetting his great loves (including three marriages
and eight children) and decades touring the world, Rod delivers a riveting ride
through one of rock's most remarkable lives.
