61. Australian Science Fiction Writer - Yvonne Rousseau 23 review of Spence, Catherine Helen, _Handfasted_, of Spence, Catherine Helen, _Week in the Future, A_, and of wright, austin tappan, _Islandia_, http://www.ericlindsay.com/ozwriter/rousseau.htm

Yvonne Rousseau You asked for material for an `Yvonne Rousseau' web page. John says that any amount will do, so I'm handing him quite an electronic bundle to send to you. Please tell if you'd like something utterly different instead. Author biography printed in the first edition of The Murders At Hanging Rock in 1980: `Yvonne Rousseau was born at Benalla on 1 August 1945, but was moved six weeks later to a dairy-farm in South Gippsland. She attended Hallston State and Leongatha High schools, and graduated from Melbourne University in 1967, as a B.A. (Hons.) in English and Philosophy. She has since worked in a miscellany of jobs, ranging from pineapple-trimmer to book-editor. The lovers of tradition, for whose pleasure these facts are recorded, will also be relieved to learn that this, Ms Rousseau's first book, was written amid increasingly abject poverty (although not in a garret, and not with the assistance of absinthe). The author's next work is expected to be satirical= ...'

63. The Oregon Review: The Risk Of Reading Thus I return to austin tappan wright’s Islandia, Patrick O’Brian’s AubreyMaturin series, the essays of John Jay Chapman, Andrew Sullivan, http://oregonreview.blogspot.com/2007/07/risk-of-reading.html

The Oregon Review Alan Contreras Monday, July 30, 2007 The Risk of Reading Our reading choices build our intellectual universe book by book, essay by essay, poem by poem. We who read are faced each day with choices about what, from the extraordinary delta of writing flowing past our islands, to pluck from the flow, set aside and (perhaps) read. How do we decide what is worth the risk of reading? It is true that my own tastes are suspect. After all, I have said many times that Moby Dick is a brilliant story up to the point that whales enter the picture. I know some English professors who agree with me, but they have to pretend that they think the book is great because everyone knows that it is. How can you get tenure if you think Moby Dick is a turkey instead of a whale? There is a peculiar lack of judgment, or perhaps a lack of willingness to judge, in what we hear of books. It is pretty rare to hear someone say that a book is awful, especially if received wisdom says otherwise. But what is a good book, really? A good book is a book that inspires you, that resonates with you, that conveys a message to you that is effective. What it does for a reviewer at the Times Review of Books, Toni Morrison or President Bush makes no difference. There is one way to resolve the question of what to read when presented with the stacks of new books that tumble like so much clinker-lava into our mailboxes, doorways and work-spaces. Ignore them. Take a break from the new and return to the books that have made a difference for you in the past. These are the books that have always spoken with a clear voice, have such a rich weave that different threads are visible in each new reading, or seem to adjust their effect successfully when read under different conditions or in different settings.

66. Reviews Of Fantasy Novels By Various Writers Islandia by austin tappan wright. wright was a lawyer and law professor who invented his own world, much like Eddison and Tolkien (there was something in http://www.teleologic.com/crghome/fan1.html

Fantasy Novels Reviewed Last updated November, 1998 I have some pages devoted to some of the best active fantasy writers. Tad Williams Author of River of Blue Fire Otherland , and the series The Dragon Bone Chair Mark Helprin Author of Winters Tale, A Soldier of the Great War Guy Gavriel Kay Author of Tigana, A Song for Arbonne Robert Van Gulik Author of The Judge Dee Mystery novels Gene Wolfe Author of The Book of the New Sun (four novels) and The Long Sun (also four novels)... This leads to a site all about my favorite game: Ultima Online . I have spent far too much time on this game (and not enough time on my web site...). The great works of Fantasy Some of the best fantasy ever written (including the writing by Lord Dunsany and Morrison) is no longer in print. This is a sad state of affairs, but someday, all of the world's literature will be available for download (for a fee) via the next generation internet and this current situation will just be like a bad dream. The following are a small sampling of the best fantasy novels. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. If you haven't read the Lord of the Rings, don't think for a second that you understand fantasy. Although Tolkien didn't invent the genre of Fantasy, everything written since 1955 has been directly influenced by this book. One can quibble with aspects of his story but, this remains one of the most wonderful stories ever written, a testament to the power and vitality of the English language.

70. O'Reilly -- Books That Have Shaped How I Think Islandia, by austin tappan wright. A utopian novel written in the 1930s, about an imaginary country where technology has not yet hastened the pace of life, http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/articles/favebooks_0705.html

My Account View Cart Site Search Home Network Store Safari Books Online ... About Search oreilly.com: Contacts History Tim O'Reilly Labs ... Subscribe to Newsletters Books That Have Shaped How I Think by Tim O'Reilly In The Meaning of Culture , John Cowper Powys makes the point that the difference between education and culture is that culture is the incorporation of music, art, literature, and philosophy not just into your library or your CV but into who you are. He talks too about the interplay of culture and life, the way that what we read can enrich what we experience, and what we experience can enrich what we read. To make his point, I always like to cite an experience I had when I was fourteen and had just read The Golden Warrior , Hope Muntz's classic novel of Harold, last of the Saxon kings. Harold's story fired my imagination, particularly the idea of the compact between a leader and his people, the compact that led Harold to march south to face William the Conqueror at Hastings, despite having just repelled an invasion by his half brother Tostig and his Viking allies up in Yorkshire. Advisors urged him to wait, but William was raping and pillaging, and Harold made a forced march to glorious defeat, keeping faith with his subjects. While reading this stirring book, I was vacationing in the Lake District of England. We swam every day at the swimming hole. But it wasn't just any swimming hole. This was the headwaters of the River Derwent, the river that ran red with blood when Harold defeated the Viking invasion. Book and place were together seared into my memory and sense of values, each giving meaning and resonance to the other.
