"Heat Wave" by Richard Castle
 - When Art imitates Art

I thought I had stepped into a 21st century Pleasantville. As my local library was undergoing renovations, perhaps construction crews had opened up a door into the TV universe?"

Margery Kempe (Part 1) - 
A woman living in interesting medieval times

"May you live in interesting times."
So were the times of Margery Kempe in the late Middle Ages. 


Margery Kempe (Part 2) - 
Move over Geoffrey Chaucer and reality TV!

"If the Middle Ages did a reality show, Margery would be the star.
  Her real life adventures rivaled Canterbury Tales with an eclectic cast of characters."

Margery Kempe (Part 3) - Medieval "Church Lady"

"The "Church Lady" persona is not new, but is as old as religion itself."

 
Margery Kempe (Part 4) - she still speaks centuries later

"...this medieval mystic had her shortcomings ... Margery had many admirable qualities.  Here a five of them..."

 

  

 ZAMM (part 1) - 
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a culture-bearing book in the 20th century much in the way Uncle Tom's Cabin was a culture bearer for the 19th century."
S. K. Smith

ZAMM (part 2) - 
Journey through Life

"In this version of Life, the end game is the one with the most money wins. ... But what does the Good Book say?"
S. K. Smith

ZAMM (part 3) - 
Chautauqua, then and now

Teddy Roosevelt called the Chautauqua "the most American thing in America."

ZAMM (part 4) - Ghosts

... when people have not been buried right, their ghosts come back to haunt you.

Kindle? Nook? Whatever?
