Review title: Solid Starting Point Product review: I'd say it's a good book to start on if you're interested in Zen. After this, you could go onto another book written by Watts called "The Way of Zen". This book was pretty easy to understand and doesn't go into anything that is too confusing. It's a quick read though, so I don't think I'd recommend buying the $30 version. I picked mine up at a used book store for much less than half that. Not one of my favorites of books that Watts has wrote, but he wasn't as wise as he was in his later years. Overall pretty good though.

Review title: I'll bet the final book will disappoint...sometime in 2037 Product review: For anyone that is still reading because you got hooked on the first five books (which were fairly good), you're probably wondering when something important is going to happen again. I say, stop reading. I won't buy another book in this series. I predict the final book will be a major disappointment. Some of us are still slogging along through the volumes because we're hooked, and hoping for an exciting resolution, and for all the answers to be revealed. I don't think it's going to happen. How could the series possibly get better, when Mr. Jordan has written 3 terribly boring books in a row? Mr. Jordan is just making a career out of this series, and taking us hapless readers on a very bad ride.
Answer: decrease

Review title: Enthralled Product review: This is a fabulous album. It seems to move along at an ever increasing speed, through the humerous "Everything Reminds Me of My Dog" and "I Coulda Been Miss Punta Blanca" to the incredibly musical "Are We Dancing" finale. The latter combines a strange languidness with a feverish sense of racing toward a climax. Beautiful, beautiful CD. One of the all time favourites in my collection.
