Books

Peter Lefcourt, The Woody

Woodrow Wilson White is the junior senator from Vermont. His first wife is suing him; his current wife is about to sue him; his son has been arrested for drug smuggling; and his pet daschund has been kidnapped by his former illegal Italian immigrant housekeeper. Then there’s his involvement with the Vermont maple syrup mafia and the African nation of Togo. And it’s just a few months until he stands for re-election. Can it get any worse? You betcha. This novel is absolutely hysterical. It’s ten times funnier than Primary Colors.

Michel Houellebecq, Platform

Houellebecq’s anti-Muslim rants are so pleasing to the ears that one could almost forget (and forgive him) that he’s French. Only Houellebecq could construct a novel around the themes of sex tourism and Muslim terrorism. A must read!

Carol Wolper, Cigarette Girl

This is something for a mindless day at the beach. The protagonist is a female action-film screenwriter whose biological clock has begun to tick-tock with ominous overtones. A witty addition to the neurotic (Is there any other kind?) female-coming-to-grips-with-the-expiration-of-her-freshness-date genre.
 
CDs

Duffy Jackson, Swing, Swing, Swing

One of the best drummers on the current jazz scene and the son of the legendary Woody Herman bass player Chubby Jackson. Duffy Jackson swings more than ten drummers combined.
 
Kurt Elling, Flirting with Twilight

Elling and standards. It doesn’t get any better than this. Kurt Elling is a fantastic jazz singer who can do it all, including ballads.

Stan Kenton, Roadshow

Stan Kenton’s big band along with June Christy and the Four Freshmen. It’s hard to believe that there was a time when real music was popular with the college crowd. Those were the days. Relive them in their full glory.
