God Was Here & I Was Out to Lunch.......2007-01-04

Book was very appropriate for me in my life today. It has helped me to do some re-focusing amidst the problems of getting things accompished in my daily life.

I was certainly out to lunch, but closer to God now.......2006-12-24

My Pastor used this book in our Sunday Education class for adults... It is well written and James Moore has a way of getting your attention...Was eye-opening in many ways... Enjoyed every class session and the discussions we had... Good also for personal reading at home....

Book Description

It's been a couple of weeks since Katie turned into the class hamster, and she's beginning to hope that maybe her transforming days are through. But more excitement lies ahead for Katie as she becomes Lucille, the cafeteria lunch lady! Unfortunately, the principal isn't too happy with a lunch lady who throws egg salad and starts food fights. . . so it's up to Katie (back in her own body) and her classmates to save the day.

Illustrated by John & Wendy.

Out to lunch, no out to read!.......2006-12-28

This is an excellent book. I loved it. It explains the problem that a third grade girl faces-a magic wind that turns her into others,and then back into herself. In this book, Katie is fed up with the gross school lunches. When the magic wind turns her into the lunch lady, she finds herself in the middle of a food fight. Then, the principal, Mr. Kane, fires her. When Katie turns back into herself, she knows that she and her friends must do something to help the lunch lady, but what. Read this excelling book to find out. It's highly recommended by me. So what are you waiting for, go on and read it. Oh, and it contains no spoilers whatsoever. Also, look for a book called DANA IN THE 7TH GRADE. I heard from a friend that it's a new book that's coming out. It's supposed to be execellent. Out To Lunch is an fantastic book, and I highly encourage you to read it. Trust me, you will not want to put it sown once you start to read it. Good luck finding it, I bet all the copies are already taken.

Book Description

When food is your life, it's hard to think of anything else. Still, Garfield manages. Whether it's time to clean out Jon's drawers his way, finding a hiding place that's too good, or discovering he can sleep in any position, half the fun of Garfield is watching his between-meal antics. In his twelfth book, he's up to his usual tricks, and that's all his fans need to hear.

Book Description

At the zoo Gladys eats

bananas for breakfast,

bananas for lunch,

and even bananas for dinner.

But one day Gladys

smells something even

better than bananas.

Could it be pizza? Ice cream?

Or something altogether better?

Fun story for little ones.......2006-06-14

My almost three year old really enjoyed this because it mentions three of his favorite foods: bananas, pizza and ice cream. It is an easy read for parents without a lot of time for a lengthy read. My 8 year old enjoyed it, too. Colorful illustrations add the finishing touch to the story.

Fantastic!.......2005-12-05

I'm a first grade teacher. This book is great for making predictions. It's also great for retelling using sequencing and lots of other skills! Great pictures! Great story! I couldn't stop turning the pages!!!

Love this book about a curious purple Gorilla!.......2005-11-18

Derek Anderson strikes again! The illustrator of the popular Little Quack series branches out and both writes and illustrates this book -- which is a pure delight! The book is visual candy from beginning to end -- the banana endsheets look so lush I wanted to scratch and sniff -- but it's not a scratch and sniff book! My own kids are past the age of picture books, but this is one I had to read to them anyway! A particularly pleasing point of the book was an afterword by the author illustrator himself, who told about the genesis of the story -- its little touches like this that lift a great book into a personal book. And I won't give away the special "ingredient" in the afterword that brought a smile to my face --and sent me to the kitchen!

Excellent children's book!.......2005-09-11

The combination of magnificent artwork and a fun story have made this a favorite of both my 2-year-old girl and 5-year-old boy

Death and the Mare-den.......2004-08-02

Charles Bukowski, The Captain Is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship (Black Sparrow, 1998)

A year in the life of Charles Bukowski, 1991-92, as he neared death. He knew he was nearing death; he writes about it as often as he wrote about the deaths of other things in his poetry. Of course, his is not the only death to mention in these pages; car accidents, a falling neighbor, etc.

Other than death, Buk's diary talks a lot about horseplaying. Great for me. Perhaps not so great for others.

Bukowski was always a better poet than he was a prose stylist, but The Captain Is Out to Lunch... is likely the most readable piece of Buk's prose I have ever come across. Probably because there was nothing to writing it; instead of coming up with characters, plot, theme, etc., they're sitting there at the track or in the neighborhood waiting for you.

Worthwhile. One of the better posthumously published works. *** ½

so long..........2004-06-14

i have read everything bukowski has ever written and this is not bukowski. sure, it has the same name on the cover and on the spine, but charles bukowski who raged so hard to do nothing, who fought in alleyways and picked glass from his bleeding feet this most certainly is not. and, yet, if this were the same bukowski it would be somehow less satisfying. i've laughed and cried with buk, ive winced and ive looked away and this time i shed a tear. here, for one time only, is the tamed poet, recording his last thoughts in a journal with the final entry weeks before he passed. he knew death was coming and he faced upto it like a man, but he had mellowed, his body had started failing him and, as i hope we all will get the chance, he had started to take the time to reflect on his life, to consider his achievements and know what he would be leaving behind. this is a fascinating, absorbing, frank and bare portrait of bukowski's final days and what sat in his head and i can only say that i cried a tear of sadness by the final entry and wondered where on earth i would ever find another author that could mean as much to me as bukowski.

still, i suppose there is a strict need to have read some of the other works in order to fully appreciate this and that must limit the appeal in some way. but this is 4*'s for bukowski, which is probably 3*'s for anyone else, in my opinion.

You haven't heard the last of Hank.......2003-03-05

I had an indirect contact with Bukowski in the 1970s when I was working at a Long Beach college newspaper and our Arts editor had just gotten back from seeing him at one of his poetry readings. I was asked to write the headline for the rave review on it we were publishing, and as a young poet I was more than happy to do so.

In the headline I called him "Buk the bard" and they gave it the go ahead for printing. But the editor had met his friends and they'd mentioned that Buk no longer lived in Hollywood and had moved to the notorious San Pedro area.

We all got very concerned for him and told Buk's friends that he shouldn't live there, and that L.A., Belmont Shore, Long Beach - almost anywhere else, in fact - would be preferable. As I recall, at that time there was a stabbing in Pedro almost every weekend.

Soonafter we got word in the newsroom of what Buk thought of the suggestion by us little upscale college smartasses - he said it was a rather dumb one, and that he actually regarded it as an insult, as if we'd just ridiculed his new jacket.

Since his writing didn't float much on the waters of pretense, he enjoyed being where the action was, even if it was now within a very dangerous environment for a guy getting on in years. He planned to stay put anyway and he indeed did exactly that.

I was surprised to hear years later that he'd lasted until 1994, because I'd always bet that, even escaping any physical injury, and with his seeming million gallon booze capacity, he still wouldn't last past 1980.

But don't worry, the old warhorse will still be running new words at the literary track for quite some time. The godsend that was John Martin's Black Sparrow press still has more of Hank's unpublished stuff in their files, so the Captain journal won't be the last you hear of our favorite pulp fiction barfly.

Hopefully lots of them will also have more of those groovy drawings by underground komix king Robert Crumb, too. Now that would be a good day at the races.

minute by minute of an observable perceptive guy.......2002-12-29

my favorite passage from this book ' i wonder what the next step will be after the computer? you'll probably just press your fingers to your temples and out will come this mass of perfect wordage. Of course, you'll have to fill up before you start but there will always be some lucky ones who can do that. Let's hope.'
good stuff and a smooth read--my reason mainly for reading bukowski

Not Much New.......2001-10-04

I was hoping to gain some new insights into the writer/man that was Bukowski by reading this collection of journal writings. To be honest, not much new ground was covered. I did find out out about a failed TV deal I'd never heard of, and some other trivial points, but nothing much deeper. The R. Crumb drawings are worth the price of the book, and well, hell it's Bukowski so I enjoyed it. This is, however, one of the few Buk books I haven't read more than twice, which is as close to a "bad" review as I can get.

Book Description

"Mind your manners well today, we're out to lunch, not out to play!" Joe's parents take him out to a fancy restaurant, but no matter how much his mother pleads, Joe just can't sit still. "Do you have crayons or playgrounds?" he asks the waiter. He slurps and burps and scratches his itchy toe. "The table is no place for feet. Please, Joe, sit still and eat!" scold his parents. Mischievous Joe just can't stop wiggling and playing, and his amusing antics quickly turn a quiet lunch at a fancy restaurant into an embarrassing spectacle. Young readers who remember the obstinate little frog Joe from To the Tub and Time for Bed, the Babysitter Said will not be surprised to find him causing a bit more trouble. And they will be delighted as they recognize themselves in this headstrong little frog, while anyone who has ever taken a small child out to eat will sympathize with Joe's mortified, ever-patient parents.
