From Amazon.com: Millions
have read Maya Angelou's national bestseller
The
Heart of a Woman, and now you can hear her fascinating
story in the author's own voice. Angelou exposes a turbulent period of her
life as she struggles to raise a child, fulfill her goals as a writer, and
fight for civil rights in an age of social injustice; Angelou's rich and
resonating voice draws the listener into the unexpected details of her life.
Working as a nightclub singer in Los Angeles, Angelou decides to move to New
York with her son Guy in hopes of building stronger ties with the black art
community. In an attempt to find stability for Guy and make a name for
herself, her love life takes wild turns. Should she marry the bail bondsman
who's as dry as stale bread or run away with the African freedom fighter? Her
heart takes her to Africa, where her writing career blossoms but her marriage
sours.
The
Heart of a Woman is filled with beautiful prose and songs; Angelou
displays her music talent in several vignettes, most memorably in a scene with
Billie Holiday: Angelou is performing at a nightclub when Holiday shrieks,
"Stop her, stop her... she sounds like my mama!"
2. Journey of the Heart : The Path of Conscious Love

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Journey of the Heart is a profound and wonderful book. It is a spiritual text on intimate relationships that is grounded in real life, and an inspiration for anyone who believes that a committed relationship can be a process through which two individuals grow. John Welwood offers a conceptual and practical pathway from the ordinary experience of everyday conflicts and issues to spiritual evolution.
3. Sister of My Heart : A Noval

From Amazon.com: Chitra
Banerjee Divakaruni made an indelible impression on the literary world with
her first novel,
The Mistress of Spices, a magical tale of
love and herbs.
Sister of My Heart
is less reliant on enchantment but no less enchanting as it tells the tale of
two cousins born on the same day, their premature births brought on by a
mysterious occurrence that claims the lives of both their fathers. Sudha is
beautiful, Anju is not; yet the girls love each other as sisters, the bond
between them so strong it seems nothing can break it. When both are pushed
into arranged marriages, however, each discovers a devastating secret that
changes their relationship forever.
Sister of My Heart
spans many years and zigzags between India and America as the cousins first
grow apart and then eventually reunite. Divakaruni invests this domestic drama
with poetry as she traces her heroines' lives from infancy to motherhood, but
it is Sudha and Anju who give the story its backbone. Anju might speak for
both when she says, "In spite of all my insecurities, in spite of the oceans
that'll be between us soon and the men that are between us already, I can
never stop loving Sudha. It's my habit, and it's my fate." Book lovers may
well discover that reading Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is habit-forming as
well.

From Amazon.com: More hard-boiled tales from Tom Waits, who manages to sing lines like "Everyone I know is either dead or in prison" in a raw, whiskey-soaked rasp that sounds both comical and deadly serious. Waits doesn't break any new creative ground here, but continues to refine his down-and-out ham-and-egger persona. It's booze and broads, sex and violence, laughs and heartbreak. This 1978 album opens with an astonishingly desperate version of "Somewhere" (from "West Side Story"), performed like Louie Armstrong with a migraine. From there it's the usual Waits mix of crackpot wordplay and the cocktail lounge jazz likes of "Romeo Is Bleeding."
2. Songs from the Heart [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
Original Release Date: 2000
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: This immediately joined my Romantic Evening Hall of Fame, along with favorite recordings by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald and Antonio Carlos Jobin. This is a lovely compilation of some of Nat "King" Cole's hits, along with really pretty songs that I'd never heard before. I bought this for his recording of "Stay As Sweet As You Are" which is enchanting. This is a great album to put on the CD on a summer night and listen to while sitting on a porch swing with a glass of wine.

From Amazon.com: Heart was the first rock and roll group to be led by a woman to break into the mainstream. After numerous slipshod greatest hits collections, fans finally got what they were looking for in 2002 with The Essential Heart, a comprehensive two disc sampling of all their best songs. The Essential Heart includes all of Heart's most well known songs, including "Magic Man," "Crazy On You,", "Barracuda" (with one of the all time greatest guitar riffs of all time), "What About Love," "Never," "These Dreams" and "Alone." Coming with this collection is beautiful booklet filled with nice photos and excellent liner notes by music historian David Wild. You can't ask for a better collection of Heart's music than this.
1. Heartburn

From Amazon.com: You'd have thought that Nora Ephron and Mike Nichols had remade Heaven's Gate: that was the critical reaction to this film version of Ephron's semi-autobiographical novel about her own marital woes. The fact that they had Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep playing thinly disguised versions of Carl Bernstein and Ephron probably made them bigger, fatter targets. In fact, the film was a genuinely funny and painful look at the effects of marital infidelity and divorce, in the story of two married writers and what happens when the pregnant wife finds out the husband has been fooling around behind her back. The film is more dramatic and less quip-filled than Ephron's novel, which made the Ephron character a food writer and was peppered with recipes. Nicholson stepped into his role at the last minute, when Nichols fired Mandy Patinkin for being too intense and not funny enough.

What starts as a momentary affair spirals into decades of deception, ecstasy, and passion.

From Amazon.com: This amiably amorphous comedy-drama about a myriad of articulate and witty people pondering the meaning of love was originally titled Dancing About Architecture. As one of the lovelorn puts it, in trying to explain the elusive nature of desire, "Talking about love is like dancing about architecture." However, with the way the characters in Willard Carroll's film talk, it sounds like they could dance a samba around Frank Lloyd Wright. This undiscovered gem doesn't have a particular destination in mind, as it weaves in and out of the stories of its high-profile ensemble, but it does offer some hilarious, sharp dialogue and quiet surprises. Carroll focuses his film on four couples, all in one way or another battling with the problems of relationships, ranging from long-marrieds (Gena Rowlands and Sean Connery) to Gen-X club-hoppers (Angelina Jolie and Ryan Phillippe). Ostensibly, part of the film is invested in the mystery of how all these characters are interrelated, but keen viewers will be able to discern the connections among everyone. It's the uniformly excellent performances, though, that make Playing by Heart compulsively watchable. Most striking, surprisingly enough, are Jolie and Phillippe, the youngest members of the cast who reveal heretofore hidden depths of talent. Jolie in particular increases her already-soaring stock as an actress. Equally impressive are Gillian Anderson and Jon Stewart, who transcend their yuppie personas in their awkward enactment of the timeless dating rituals. Other cast members, including Dennis Quaid, Anthony Edwards, Ellen Burstyn, Jay Mohr, and the always luminous Madeleine Stowe, are quite good, though saddled with story lines that are occasionally less than compelling. The only complaint you'll have is that once everyone's connections are revealed, you'll wish this cast had more of an opportunity to interact. The journey toward the film's bittersweet end, however, is marvelous in and of itself. | |||||||||
