Now available at the library, The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia by Michael Gray (782.42164092).
Michael Gray, author of Song and Dance Man: the Art of Bob Dylan, is recognized as the world authority on the work of Dylan and an expert on the history of rock and roll and the blues. Gray’s newest book, The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, has received rave reviews.
“Author Michael Gray outdistances them all with this voluminous collection of all things Dylan. Gray’s knowledge of his subject is seemingly boundless, yet he manages to maintain a critical eye and keep Dylan’s work in perspective. While Gray is certainly a fan, it’s this impartiality that fuels the book and gives it weight. Insightful and entertaining, Gray’s tome will broaden appreciation of the artist, his influenced and his legacy.” –Publisher’s Weekly, June 2006
“This is no mere catalog of facts, but a work of oceanic immersion. It has wit, opinion, style and asks to be read, not just consulted. Gray details every artist Dylan has ever interpreted or collaborated with along with all of his critics and chroniclers, logger and bloggers, trash collectors and microbe hunters.” –The Village Voice, June 2006
"There is always room for a volume as utterly brilliant as Michael Gray’s The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia. It is a wonderfully serendipitous read. There’s plenty for everyone from the most hardened Bobcat to the general music lover. Strikingly intelligent, poetic, subtly humorous and buzzing with an awareness of the richness of life, he’s the perfect match for his subject." –What’s On in London, July 14, 2006
“Few will be disappointed by The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia. It’s likely to become the biggest selling Dylan book of all. The Encyclopedia majors on its author’s unparalleled expertise, his critical judgment and a ready intelligence and authorial finesse rare among writers of Dylan books. The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia’s strengths include authoritative essays positioning Dylan’s work in the context of other artistic traditions—notable the Bible, English Literature, the blues, rock ‘n’ roll, nursery rhymes and film. Gray’s analysis of the influence on Dylan’s work of the Book of Ecclesiastes is the most evocative piece of writing on the musician you’re likely to encounter.” –CHOICE, July 2006

Monkeewrench 2003
Live Bait 2004
Dead Run 2005
Snow Blind 2006
By P. J. Tracy
A quirky bunch of crime fighters, Grace McBride and her Monkeewrench Software Company help Minneapolis homicide detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth track serial killers and solve cold cases with the software the company has developed. Written by a mother-daughter team, the authors have come up with characters that make the novels crackle with humor and suspense.
The Monkeewrench Software Company employees:
Grace McBride: A gun is her fashion accessory
Ann Belinsky: Very large and very fashionably dressed
Harley Davidson: big, tattooed, and bearded
Roadrunner: stork- like with long legs and arms and six and a half feet tall.
For those who wonder how people can collaborate while writing fiction, check out frequently asked questions or FAQS on their website:
www.pjtracy.net
A mother-daughter writing team is fairly unusual - what is the writing process like? A: Since we've been writing together for over 15 years, we have the mechanics of our particular kind of collaboration pretty well nailed down. Picture a couple of great friends sitting at a kitchen table embellishing each other's wild stories, and you'll have a fairly good idea of how we do our plotting. We are both passionate about storytelling, and these sessions tend to be more performance art than conversation, complete with character voices, flailing gestures, hysterical ranting, and a lot of laughter. No one likes to watch us do this. It's ugly and annoying.

The Cold Moon
By Jeffery Deaver
Forensic Investigator Lincoln Rhyme and Detective Amelia Sachs are back tracking a serial killer in the seventh book in the series. Sachs is Rhyme’s eyes and legs at the crime scenes as Rhyme, a quadriplegic, communicates with her by radio from his forensic lab located in his New York townhouse. Twists and turns keep the suspense enjoyable as Rhyme and Sachs hunt the Watchmaker. The Watchmaker commits murder and leaves a clock at each crime scene as a calling card.
As a side note:
“The Bone Collector,” first in the series and made into a movie, stars Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington), the quadriplegic criminologist and Detective Amelia Sachs (Angelina Jolie). A serial killer taunts the pair by leaving a bone at each crime scene as a clue.
