How do you do an ASIN link for books? I see the ISBN listings, but no ASIN numbers for them.

A Storm Of Swords by George R. R. Martin

Find the URL at Amazon . . . and it's that ten-digit dealy after the /dp/:

an insider's history of the Allen Organ Company (caution: 20th Century electronics)
Triumphs & Trials of an Organ Builder  by  Jerome Markowitz

Finished W.G. Sebald's On the Natural History of Destruction and Leonardo Sciascia's The Day of the Owl. Both short but very good books. Sebald's is a collection of lectures on writers and history, with the main one being the destruction of German cities during the WWII. Sciascia is becoming my new favourite author. His writing about Italy, the mafia is fascinating and almost like watching a good Italian movie from the 1960s.

Volume 2 of the Twain set, a bit at a time.

What were your opinions on Volume 1? I heard a lot of people say that it alternately was and was not worth the slog. I have a bit of a hard time imagining Mark Twain not being entertaining, but have not yet read these volumes.

Thank you both for this alert!

There is a long intro plus notations in vol 1 that are of academic interest only. The Twain is great fun, if longwinded. You find yourself listening to him speak at length, rather than reciting an edited, final draft. Vol 2 loses the intro of course. I wouldn't call either great literature, but they are a delightful and fascinating revelation of the man.

[Karl Henning]

Well, I'd approach it as a document rather than as literature, and I expect to enjoy it. I've now got Vol. 1 on my Kindle . . . .

The second book in the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch,  'Moon Over Soho'.
Crime and wizards are an unusual genre for me, I must be enjoying it as I've read the other two.

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic.

It's all your fault that I now own Midnight Riot.

Yup that is a good read.
