BOOKBAG:
On Two Wheels edited by Don McKay (1971) - A used book find -- an anthology of short fiction and non-fiction about motorcyclists, ranging from a 1930s hard boiled racing yarn by Horace McCoy to Hunter S.Thompson's magazine pieces on the Hell's Angels to Arlo Guthrie's Motorcycle Song. Even the Frank Rooney short story which served as the basis for The Wild One movie -- and boy, did they ever change that plot around. Lightweight, worth a grab if you see it.
Southern California: An Island On The Land by Carey McWilliams (1946) - A long valued history of Southern California from pre Columbian days to the mid 1940s, concentrating on the American era. Dirty laundry included. My understanding of the region has been much illuminated by this book. Still quite relevant.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (1922) - A reread from the 70s. Herman Hesse dives into Hindu and Buddhist spirituality. Short, simple, thoughtful. Full text available free online.
A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle (1962) - A way, way back reread. This 'youth' sci-fi/fantasy milestone opens with, "It was a dark and stormy night," and more or less gets away with it. Odd stuff.
John Coltrane: His Life and Music by Lewis Porter (1998) - The most carefully researched biography so far of this jazz giant. A bit academic perhaps, but "just the facts, ma'am" is a solid approach. Lots of nuts 'n' bolts musical analysis.
