Book Description
A Hollywood millionaire with a terror of death, whose personal physician happens to be working on a theory of longevity--these are the elements of Huxley's caustic and entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely. A highly sensational plot that will keep astonishing you to practically the final sentence. --The New Yorker

World-changing agenda.......2006-03-11
A lot of the reviews here make valid points: the philosophical asides are brilliant but tedious for people who don't like philosophy. The characters (the entire plot in fact) do sometimes seem like an afterthought, employed to support the 'big' ideas, but that's not to say they're two-dimensional.
However, when reading a book like this it's important not to get too focused on only one of the many interesting ideas that fly like sparks from Huxley's mind. Explorations of mortality, eroticism, class struggle, mysticism, greed, ...etc. are all presented dispassionately enough. As such, they're like colors on Huxley's palette; and it's not rewarding to complain about a particular shade of green.
The thing that struck me was that Huxley is very specific about the character types he chooses to include here. His decision to pit the grasping Stoyte against the impossibly saint-like Propter elaborates an inner-dialogue one can imagine Huxley was having to reconcile his own idealized world-view with the reality he had encountered in America. In doing this Huxley provides justification and outlines a strategy for implementing his utopian vision.
For me; it's this attempt to reconcile the world of ideas with reality that, like with much of Hesse's work, seems to be the focal point of the book. I'm looking forward to reading Huxley's later books to see how he develops this attempted reconciliation.
After Many a Summer...Huxley Natters On.......2003-07-09
I first read this book thirty years ago as an adolescent, and it made a big impression on my impressionable, snobbish mind. And it was (is) funny!
Reading it and some other Huxley material this year, I am struck by how singleminded AH is in his ideas. Every essay, every story, at least after the 1930s, is driven by his desire to show how humanity is lost in a maze of materialist illusion. He is a mystic, and if that tickles you, perhaps his extended intellectual diaglogs in this book will interest you. Otherwise, just read the deliciously satirical parts. (His detached prose describing the movements of A nearly naked young starlet's body is a tour de force of clinical eroticism).
His literary skills are enormous, his description of southern california in the 30s rang true in the 70s when I lived there and read it, and still do. His humour, arch, esoteric, but sharp, can be a joy. When he gets serious, that's when he has a problem as he lapses into portentous nonsense about the ground of being, the One, etc. Huxley was a acid head long before he started dabbling with drugs - and his mystical discussions make little sense, unless you are already of that mind. Aesthetically, they are highly repetitive and rather irritating.
Readers who want an introduction to his work would do better, I think, to begin with his best, Brave New World. In that one, he used his considerable gifts to their best advantage, and kept his endless and indulgent maundering to a minimum.
Huxley's "middle period".......2002-05-08
Lurking in the back of every thinking Christian's mind must be this fear: yes, so far Religion has successfully reconciled itself to Science's every last finding. Perhaps the Creation account isn't supposed to be taken literally; maybe the world wasn't really fashioned in six days. But supposing science were to find a way to eliminate death. After all, death appears to be a matter of biology, and should be subject to natural laws. What happens to religion then?
That isn't exactly the question that Huxley addresses in this novel, but it is similar--and his answer is one that should surprise Religion and Science both. And he delivers it with a conclusion so lurid and grotesque it will haunt you long after the rest of the book has faded away.
But getting to the conclusion is the problem. I am a great admirer of Huxley, yet I consider this to be one of his weaker books. The scientific machinery, both that which leads to the conclusion and that which explains it, is a tad clumsy--H. G. Wells _Invisible_Man_ clumsy. It's easy to pardon Huxley for this; the science is merely a plot device. But it still seems like a weakness to me.
Since Huxley was born to write novels of ideas, his characters are (as usual) more types than individuals. Here they almost seem to have been an annoyance, as if regarded by their author as a necessary evil between him and the exploration of ideas. Stoyte strides on to the scene as a caricature and never can be taken seriously thereafter as a portrait of the homme moyen sensuel. His mistress is of a physical type that Huxley clearly loathed; her peculiar residue of childhood Catholicism fails to make her complex or wholly interesting. Huxley's attempt at Steinbeck's game must not have pleased even himself: after one abortive appearance of an Okie named Bill, migrant farmworkers disappear into the generalization of their class.
Obispo is sharp, as a kind of unexpectedly suave Mephistopheles doing Stoyte's bidding in his laboratory. (Even in satire, Faust always loses.) But the only characters with any real depth are Pordage and Propter: Pordage, an urbane scholar but stunted human being; Propter, a non-denominational mystic and philosopher-saint of the orange groves. It is not presuming too much to interpret these two as competing sides of Huxley's personality. Their conversations and monologues make for the most interesting reading: this is a novel desperately trying to break into an essay. Huxley fits in many provocative ideas about God, time, language, literature, culture. It's a valuable record of where his thoughts were leading at this point in his career.
But had Huxley written an essay instead, there would have been no place for his brilliant rendition of a skeptical and dissolute earl's epigrammatic journal--just one example among many of Huxley's notable stylistic versatility.
I hope readers who enjoy any part of this book go on to Huxley's later fiction, like _Island_ or _The_Devils_of_Loudun_. And don't miss any of his later non-fiction, above all the summa of his spiritual investigations, _The_Perennial_Philosophy_.
After Many A Summer, Does the Swan Indeed Die?.......2001-11-04
After Many a Summer Dies the Swan is a book set in America in the thirties. Jeremy Pordage, is an English scholard who was hired by millionaire Jo Stoyte to study and decipher the Hauberk papers which Stoyte acquired in England. Jo Stoyte, with his millions, his castle on the hill, his acquisitions, and his mistress, young Virginia, may very well have been Huxley's parody of William Randolph Hearst, who was very much alive when this book was written.
Stoyte had in his employ, a Dr. Obispo who was searching for a modern medical solution to immortality, also had the job of keeping Soyte alive as long as possible perhaps to one day eventually benefit form Obispo's findings. However, it is Jeremy Pordage who uncovers in his readings of the Hauberk papers, the secret to the indefinite extension of life, and that is through the eating of triturated carp entrails, as metal rings put through the tail of some carp in a pond by the great grandfather Hauberk, could be seen by the great grandson Hauberk.
The surprise ending in this book which occurs in the last five pages is nothing short of a Rod Serling, Twilight Zone type of Tour de Force. Money may buy a bed but not comfort, money may buy a house, but not a home, money may buy food, but not an appetite, and money may buy art, and furniture, but not taste, and this book shows that maybe too much money and too much time to live may not be the best thing after all.
An amazing (and philosophical) novel.......2001-09-08
This is a suberbly-crafted novel with a gripping plot. Set in Beverly Hills in the l930s, the plot revolves around a lonely, aging millionaire, Jo Stoyte, and his obsession with putting off death. Stoyte surrounds himself with art, beauty, literature, historic works and the company of intellectuals -- all of which fail to satisfy or even interest him. He retains a British man of letters, Jeremy Pordage, to review and catalog 27 crates of papers and memoirs which Stoyte has purchased from the last of the Hauberks, a British titled family. Stoyte also keeps a cynical doctor, Sigmund Obispo, as his personal physician, provides Obispo with a laboratory and bankrolls his research into longevity.
Obispo believes that the longevity of a species of carp is due to the carp's unique intestinal bacteria. In his research, Obispo is trying to i) find a method of introducing the bacteria into the digestive tracts of research mice in such a way that the effect of the bacteria isn't neutralized and ii) determine whether successful introduction of the bacteria into mammalian digestive tracts will lengthen the life of the host mammal.
In reviewing the Hauberk papers, Jeremy discovers that a member of the Hauberk family, the 5th Earl of Gonister, was himself obsessed with retaining vitality and youth. Jeremy further discovers that the 5th Earl conducted his own research into the rejuvenating properties of carp intestines some two hundred years previous. Jeremy reveals these facts to Obispo. Obispo then heads for the Hauberk estate with Stoyte and his young mistress in tow.
Through the characters of Mr. Propter, a humanities professor who lives adjacent to the Stoyte estate, Pete Boone, Obispo's idealistic, young assistant and Jeremy Pordage, Aldous Huxley provides several chapters' worth of deep philosophical dialog. The topics of these discussions range from linguistics and ethics to the impending doom of mankind. These chapters are surprisingly fascinating and should not be skipped over.
This novel's theme is that the collective mindset (which gave rise to the industrial revolution and its ensuing technological advances) will result in the annihilation of mankind. In that sense, 'progress' is a moral regression where "men pay divine homage to ideals which are mere projections of their own personalities". Huxley blames war, pograms, persecution and famine on this collective mindset. He states that "evolution is arrested devlopment". Development run amok results in degeneration and decay. He masterfully drives home his message via the book's startling conclusion.
This is worthwhile reading!

Second Nature
Getting an exclusive interview with notoriously reclusive horror writer Hunter Brown was all Celebrity magazine reporter Lee Radcliffe ever wanted. And when Hunter agrees to the interview on the condition that Lee conduct it on a camping trip, she can hardly refuse. But after spending some time alone with the seductively mysterious author, Lee discovers the only thing she wants exclusively is Hunter.
One Summer
A summer spent traveling across America with cynical, brooding photojournalist Shade Colby was not Celebrity photographer Bryan Mitchell's idea of a dream assignment. But Bryan will have to manage for an entire summer if she wants the fabulous cross-country photo shoot for a book, which they're both salivating over. However, Bryan and Shade disagree about everything—everything, that is, except the fierce attraction they have for each other….

3 1/2 stars for me it was ok not a big WOW for me.......2006-02-10
The storyline was pretty good and easy to read, but the mistakes were very distracting. I found the large amount of grammatical and punctation errors very disappointing for such a large publishing company.
Apart from that it was ok i mean it wasn't love at first sight with the book , felt like it was missing something it was just ok....
Fun, summery stories. .......2005-07-27
Second Nature: (2 stars) Throughout the book, I had the sense of deja-vu, a feeling that I had read this story before, however elements of it were so unique that I was sure that I hadn't. I suppose this is because it contained a basic plot that many other stories share (several of Linda Howard's come to mind) - a domineering man draws a woman into spending time in the wilderness with him so he can see what she's really made of, testing whether or not she has the strength and courage to rise to the challenge. Hunter was a darkly intriguing man, a smooth talker, with an aura of mystery about him and a tremendous charisma. Lee was a composed, independent, hard-working woman who became reduced to a bundle of nerves around him. The connection between them was intense, and crumbled the protective walls they had so carefully constructed around them over the years. The gorgeous setting (canyons of Arizona)was described in vivid detail. The story and dialogue was very well-written, with a good balance of romance, action, mystery and surprise. The two protagonists were considered brilliant writers, each in their own special genre, and they picked up on subtleties of their surroundings that would have gone unnoticed by the average person, and expressed them in tangible words, showcasing how writers are truly artists.
One Summer: (3 stars) There was nothing unique about the dynamics between the couple or the romance itself, but what made this book so interesting was the setting and storyline. Bryan, a portrait photographer for a glossy magazine, was famous for espressing what lies beneath the surface of her subject's face, eyes, smiles. Shade was a Pulizer-prize winning photojournalist who was famous for presenting the overall drama of a scene. They bring their two different styles together, traveling across the USA, creating a powerful photoessay of summer life in America. I loved the artistic representations vividly described from each of their opposing prospectives of The Last Day Of School, Little League Games, Grandmother and Granddaughter on the Beach, Roadside Reststops, Small Town Carnivals, Kansas Wheatfields, East Coast Clambakes, etc. It was Americana at its finest!
Not Nora's best...........2004-10-20
This was a two-tales-in-one book by the wonderful author Nora Roberts. For some reason this book just didn't do it for me at all. The first story "Second Nature" is about magazine reporter Lee Radcliffe and recluse horror author Hunter Brown. I thought the chemistry betwwen these two characters was force fed to the reader by a bulldozer. Hunter was too perfect, he never made mistakes and he was incredibly arrogant announcing how Lee had to do this and that without ever giving up anything himself. Definitly not Nora's normal style.
The second story was "One Summer" about two photojournalists Bryan Mitchell and Shade Colby. I liked this book alot better. The couple was likable and the romance seemed real. Then I don't know what happened. Nora Roberts deadline approached and she just sort of ended the story. It was really weird. Good romance, ubrupt ending.
I wouldn't run right out and but this book , but if your a fan......
It happened one summer..........2004-03-23
This is a two-story anthology, both written by Nora Roberts. I will note below an individual rating of each.
SECOND NATURE- It would be a professional coup to be granted an exclusive interview with horror fiction novelist, Hunter Brown. Los Angeles based reporter, Lee Radcliffe, intended on accomplishing just that. Flying to Arizona to attend a writer's conference he would be speaking at, she met the reclusive, enigmatic Hunter at the airport. Except she thought he was a taxi driver, and he didn't bother to correct her. He grants her the interview, but only if she will go on a camping trip with him in Oak Creek Canyon. Alone with Hunter for two weeks, Lee just may find out more about him than she anticipated.
This was my favorite of the two stories. I enjoyed the characters of Lee, and especially the cool and complicated Hunter. I would rate this five stars.
ONE SUMMER- Celebrity photographer and junk food junkie, Bryan Mitchell, would be spending her summer traveling across the country with a difficult man. Cynical photojournalist, Shade Colby, accustomed to photographing images of war, and the grit of life, had reluctantly agreed to share the assignment. Recording bits of American life on film was an opportunity neither could pass up. But despite their continual conflict, they may discover a depth of mutual feeling neither anticipated.
While I felt the first story was much better, this was still an enjoyable read. Three and one half stars would be my rating for this novella.
These stories were originally published separately in 1986 as Silhouette Special Editions. Even though they're eighteen years old, they have each stood the test of time. The only blatant thing I found that dates them is the hero of each story is a smoker, and that is rarely seen now in romance novels. Ms. Roberts is a master storyteller, and I've yet to read something of hers I didn't like. As the title suggests, this would make a good summer read.
fun enough, but not great.......2003-07-02
I enjoyed reading the two books in this volume (this book has reprints of Second Nature and One Summer), but I don't think I'm going to keep this book around. Second Nature featured Lee Radcliffe, a reporter for Celebrity magazine, and Hunter Brown, a reclusive writer of popular horror novels. Lee is determined to get the interview of a lifetime, but the time she spends getting to know Hunter makes her think about more than just her article. One Summer featured a friend of Lee's, Bryan Mitchell, and Shade Colby. Shade and Bryan have to work together on a photography assignment. They see the world in entirely different ways - Shade sees the gritty sides of life, while Bryan enjoys the fun she finds - but that doesn't stop them from becoming attracted to one another. Although I did have fun reading the books, I didn't think any of the characters were really all that wonderful. They were okay, but they didn't grab me, and they aren't enough to entice me to reread this book. I liked the fact that both stories were basically about the characters finding out a lot about each other because of the closeness their circumstances demanded. Still, the characters weren't really up to par, and there were occaisionally little things that bugged me (we never find out what the genre of the book Lee is writing is, for instance). A lot of the first book felt like "Nora Roberts' Advice to Writers" (Hunter gave a lot of writing advice and opinions), and the second book seemed to end rather abruptly. I think there are better Nora Roberts books out there, although, if you can find a cheap copy, this still isn't a bad read.

Book Description
Just east of the village of Amagansett, toward Montauk, the towns fall away, the trees disappear, the sky opens up, and the lush farmland gives way to sand and reeds and scrub in an area called Napeague. On the ocean side of this lonely stretch of Route 27, nestled in front of dunes, a sign announces “Lunch” at a shingle-style diner. As New York magazine explained, “Anyone who’s ever been to a Hampton has seen the Lobster Roll, better known as Lunch—a weather-beaten roadside clam bar, no-frills seafood restaurant, and geographic point of reference that’s as much a part of the South Fork as the Montauk lighthouse.”
The Lobster Roll is indeed an institution, evocative of carefree, casual summer eating—exactly the type of food in this book:
• Soups and appetizers such as New England Clam Chowder, Lobster Bisque, and Steamers and Broth
• Rolls and sandwiches that include Lobster Rolls and the Perfect Hamburger
• Perfect summer entrées like Lavender-and-Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Barbecued Ribs, and Grilled Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary
• Refreshing sides such as Creamy Coleslaw, Pickled Squash and Mint Salad, and simple recipes for summertime treasures like corn, tomatoes, and new potatoes
• Desserts like Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie and Raspberry-Peach Cobbler as well as drinks such as Homemade Berry-Citrus Iced Tea and Fresh Strawberry-Mint Lemonade
The Lobster Roll has been dishing up this food for three decades to locals, tourists, and summer residents alike. This book is a celebration of that cuisine, with the restaurant’s preparations adapted for home cooks, plus non-restaurant recipes for quick, simple dishes that take advantage of summer’s fresh bounty. And the beautiful color photographs perfectly capture both the food and the region—this book is what summer looks like, and this food is what summer tastes like.

Its zero outside and I feel warm reading this cookbook. I bought some lobster and made a roll with lemonade using the books concoction. I felt like I was back on the shore in July.
Great reading on a bone chilling day in Chicago.
Pretty to look at, not really to cook from.......2003-12-17
The pictures are great. The recipes are ok, but they fell a little flat. It's not something that I feel I'm going to use a lot.
A Little Too Full of Itself.......2003-09-01
Written by Hamptons insiders, The Lobster Roll purports to be a charming and useful summer cookbook. And while its size and photos do make it aesthetically appealing, its prose and recipes disappoint. There's not much new here, including the self-congratulatory tone that permeates the glossy pages. Anyone who has visited the Hamptons will recognize the you'll-always-be-an-outsider-compared-to-me attitude; anyone who has ever made crab salad has already advanced beyond this book.

Disappointing as a "Coffee Cookbook".......2000-02-22
I bought this book shortly after receiving my new Espresso/Cappuccino machine because of the Starbucks name and because it was specifically titled and touted as being a "coffee cookbook." I expected to find it full of an assortment of recipes for coffee drinks. Instead, out of 92 pages, only 4 pages were dedicated to coffee drink recipes. Moreover, all of the 6 recipes were for iced drinks such as Iced Latte, Mocha Slush, etc.
The first 32 pages of the book are dedicated to romantic descriptions of places like Costa Rica, Kenya, and Kona where the various coffee beans are grown. Then, the rest of the "cookbook" is dedicated to food recipes like Breakfast Burritos, Twice Baked Potatoes, and Goat Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato Stratta.
On a positive note, the book is beautifully photographed and the recipes do seem appetizing. However, it is definitely not the "coffee cookbook" that the cover proclaims it to be. The book's title and the Starbucks name are misleading. If you buy this book thinking that it is a coffee drink recipe book, then you will be sorely disappointed.
Book Description
Faith Andrews Bedford, a favorite with Country Living's readers, captures the magic of summer, childhood, and home in a moving collection of essays.
For years, the readers of Country Living have adored Faith Andrews Bedford's evocative stories, featured in her beloved bi-monthly column, "Kids in the Country." This enchanting collection invites everyone to join Bedford as she movingly recaptures the modest triumphs of children, the importance of family traditions, and the simple pleasures of country life. In "Sister Dresses," Faith's mother finds three special Easter outfits "all exactly the same," delighting her daughters. "Time & a Bottle" tells of Faith's girlhood walks along the beach, where she hoped that the sea glass she collected "had come from a perfume bottle thrown into the water a century ago by an elegant lady in France." Every one of these essays explores the beauty in the ordinary and the meaning in the everyday.
Faith Andrews Bedford is a frequent contributor to Country Living, where she writes the Kids in the Country column. Her essays have appeared in Reader's Digest and several of the Chicken Soup books, as well as many other magazines and newspapers. She lives in Ivy, Virginia.
Customer Reviews:
Great Mother's Day Gift.......2006-03-15
Ms. Bedford is one of those women who make life a joy for all those who come into contact with her or her writing. To have had her as a mother or grandmother must feel like a gift from God.
Through her short and emotionally charged stories, I found myself carried back into my youth when my Mom would work endless magic by making things herself.
The book contains three sections of stories, ones as a child, as a mother and as a grandmother. The last section is the skimpiest because Ms. Bedford hasn't been a mother as long as she has lived the other two roles.
Her stories capture and build on common elements of healthy relationships like family rituals, special places, shared experiences, favorite tokens, and powerful lessons learned together.
Often, you'll have the urge to do something similar for your children or grandchildren. Go for it! To make that easier, Ms. Bedford has included how to do various simple projects like making a pincushion, baking barefoot cookies, filling a dress up box, decorating plates, and turning clothespins into dolls.
There may also be days when you could use a little mothering. Just read this book and feel embraced by Ms. Bedford's all-encompassing love of life, people and nature. Is it any surprise that she's an enthusiastic bee keeper?
Heart warming is an overused description for books. I felt like any review of this book would be incomplete without that reference. I don't remember a more heart-warming non-fiction book.
So warm!.......2005-09-12
Takes me back to my own childhood, reminded me of things I had not thought of in far too long. Wonderful!
Bedtime Reading.......2005-07-04
A friend gave me this wonderful book and, now that I have read it, I have bought it for my two daughters, my mom and my aunt. The stories create such a wonderful peaceful quality that it is now my preferred bedtime reading. I read one or two stories before falling asleep and, thus, easily settle into gentle slumber. The world Faith writes about may have happened twenty or ten years ago but it still exists if we only care enought to make it happen. She has inspired me to create quiet times of appreciation of nature and family and tradition. I cannot recommend this enough.
Teacher finds wonderful ideas in this book.......2005-06-28
As a long time reader of Country Living I have enjoyed Faith Andrews Bedford's stories very much. But not until I bought this book did I realize how many wonderful ideas for projects for children she incorporated into her stories. I did not begin to subscribe until 2000 but realize that her column "Kids in the Country" has been a part of that magazine for many years. And, obviously, I'd missed some great stories. Her essays are warm and witty and so very true to life. I was deeply moved many times. She taps into the world of children perfectly.
Country Living Barefoot Summers.......2005-06-24
A wonderful, warm book! It shows that life can be good and pleasures found all around us for free.
I was born and raised in Switzerland; nevertheless, my childhood was not dissimilar to Faith's growing up in the United States. No matter what the continent, children remain children and life's delights are equal all over. One just has to open his/her eyes and hearts and savor what is given to us.
