A guide to the greats in British literature! From Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein and Charles Dickens' Tiny Tim to Jane Austen's Mr.
Darcy and Shakespeare's Juliet, British authors have created some
of the most compelling characters in all of literature. But too
often, textbooks reduce these vibrant voices to boring summaries
that would put even an English dean to sleep. English Lit 101 is an
engaging and comprehensive guide through the major players in
American literature. From romanticism to modernism and every
literary movement in between, this primer is packed with hundreds
of entertaining tidbits and concepts, along with easy-to-understand
explanations on why each author's work was important then and still
relevant now. So whether you're looking for a refresher course on
key English literature or want to learn about it for the first
time, English Lit 101 has all the answers--even the ones you didn't
know you were looking for.
Music breeds duality. We enjoy the music we love-listening to it,
talking about it, reading about it. But it's just as fun to
passionately revel in mocking the music we hate. Fortunately,
musicians make this two-lane path very easy to follow. Half the
time they're creating timeless works of art that speak to the soul;
the other half, they're recording ridiculous concept albums about
robots.
"I Love Rock 'n' Roll (Except When I Hate It)" covers both sides:
It celebrates the music world's flashes of genius, the creation of
masterpieces, and the little-known stories...as well as the
entertainingly bad ideas. Armed with a healthy dose of Brian
Boone's humorous asides and lively commentary, you'll learn
extremely important stuff like:
? How bands got their stupid names
? All alternative rock bands directly descend from Pixies
? The most metal facts of metal in the history of metal
? The secret lives of one-hit wonders
? The story behind "Layla," and other assorted love songs about
George Harrison's wife
? What is quite possibly the worst song in rock history
Boone also reveals terribly useful information like chart trivia,
the rules of music, lists, and many more origins, meanings, and
stories about everyone's most loved and loathed musicians.
