Make your toast.......2007-09-07

Somewhere in Suffolk County, NY is a little place you will find if you need to, it's where you share your pain and joy, it's a place where every drink costs 50 cents, for the extra change you can toe the chalk line and throw your glass into the fireplace and make a toast so you can talk about your problem. It's Callahan's Place and you can join the regulars Fast Eddie, Tommy Janssen, Doc Webster, Long-Drink McGonnigle, and the author's self projection Jake Stonebender. Order your drink from Mike Callahan or Tom Hauptman and settle in for a night of comradarie. This book's a collection of nine short stories originally written for Analog magazine. Good stories only lightly bordering the SF line to some people's dismay.

First off you meet Mickey Finn, proving humans aren't the only one's going to Callahan's. What's an alien to do when he's here to spy on earth for annihilation. Second is a different take on time travel with the introduction of Tom Hauptman and future shock. Thirdly, how do you stop a telekinetic from cheating at darts? Fourth, it's tall tale night at Callahan's and the regulars spin some yarns, but then enters Jim who has to deal with head games with his brother Paul. Fifth, Fill-More night brings out a more conventional time traveller with a story of lost beauty. Sixth, how to deal with a practical joker. Seventh, it's rare when a woman comes to Callahan's and Rachel has shown up; what's a 232 year old woman to do for a legacy? Coming in next, a second story involving an alien seeking absolution, what are we to do upon finding out a non-violent alien race has been manipulating human progress for several millenia for their own needs? And lastly, more of a wrap up story on another place similar to Callahan's called The Farm.

Some stories are better than others but overall, they are all readable and you'll probably want to read more about Callahan's Place where everyone will know your sorrow.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

A humourous book about a bar that anyone can end up in, anyone from anywhere in time and space. Well, almost, anyway. They gather to drink and spin yarns, and tell jokes ranging from funny to truly awful groaners, and also to compete, it seems, at times for the worst pun award.

An amusing diversion.

Nice idea, but dreadful execution.......2005-10-18

I didn't like this book one little bit. Not to say it's offensive. Just dull, predictable, and, well, I hate to say this, but immature.

Let me preface this by saying that Spider Robinson has some sweet ideas about humanity. His notion that a bunch of people getting together to share their pain and joy is very nice. It's not that I'm cynical (Well, I AM cynical) but it just never comes across as very believable.

None of these characters seem real to me at all. Worse, they all seem like the same guy. They all find the same things funny. They all talk the same, all have the same attitude about life. And never once did I find them remotely interesting, hence it was hard to find them very likable.

As for the humor, I guess I just don't get it. It's lifeless stuff without much punch. And puns? Dear God, who outside of a ten year old thinks puns are that funny? Maybe one or two, but come on, a whole book of them gets old fast.

Robinson's immaturity is the real handicap, made evident by his unsophisticated sense of humor and lack of in depth characters. Even more obvious, like a little boy uncomfortable with the opposite sex, there are very few female characters in the story, which doesn't really bother me, but says something about the writer.

That said, there are plenty of people who enjoy Callahan's, even love it. I guess I'm just not one of them.

Bar jokes, beers for everyone, and smash your glass, Sir!.......2004-02-15

Callahan's Place is a mysterious little bar in the wilds of Suffolk County, owned and operated by a large, red headed, pudding faced Irishman named Mike Callahan. Callahan's place is where people from all over time and space and earth gather just to be together and to expel the demons that haunt them. Most notable for every drink in the place costing 50 cents, you put a dollar bill on the bar, drink your drink, and either gather your 50 cents in change or choose to make a toast and smash your glass in the large fireplace that Callahan sweeps out daily. Most choose to smash their glass.

There is a mystery to Callahan's, it is a place that has some mystical power to heal the wounds of the soul, a power that seems to be solely comprised of camaraderie and friendship.

In Callahan's every Monday is the Fireside Fill-More Sing-a-Long, every Tuesday is Punday, every Wednesday is Tall Tales Night, and everyday is a celebration of life.

This frivolous and bawdy tale is told by one Jake Stonebender, a man who lost his wife and daughter in an automobile accident and came to Callahan's to find healing. He introduces us to Mike Callahan himself, plus Old Doc Webster, a large, red faced doctor who is always present; Fast Eddie Costigan, the piano player; Mickey Finn, the alien sent to destroy the world who winds out a regular at Callahan's; young Tommy Janssen who kicks his herion habit to join the happy ranks at the bar; Rachael, whose extended mortality only makes her more aware of death; and many others.

Along the way we hear fantastical stories by young Jim McDonald about his telepathic brother Paul, the Meddler who tells a tale of time travel to save a beautiful singer, Tony Telasco who refused to kill anyone in `Nam and went from booze to smack to mediation to Callahan's, Fogerty and his telekinetic powers during the Third Annual Darts Championship of the Universe, and even Broodseven-Sub-Two Raksha, who spins a tale of incubating the earth for his people in order to harvest it.

Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is only 205 pages, and while I enjoyed the bawdy humor and basic plot of the story, I did find it to be just a little dry in the telling. But, since this is the first in Spider Robinson's series, I am looking forward to reading more sequels, and hoping that he falls into a more liquid and flowing niche with this fun tale. Enjoy!

Some of us at Callahan's are pretty fair empaths...........2004-02-11

I love these Callahan stories. It took me a while to realise why I love them. You see, Callahan's is the current reincarnation of the legendary Inn at the Crossroads. It is a place where travellers and strangers and seekers and lost souls can tell their stories. Nothing is a surprize at Callahans, for anything can happen there. For the price of a drink you can tell your story- and have it respectfully listened to by people who will try to help you if they can- or at least sincerely try to understand. Needless to say, this is not your modern sports bar....

Did I mention that the clientel of Callahan's are not just your ordinary Outsiders? It is not at all uncommon for time travellers, aliens, mutants, to cross the threshold. As long as you don't pull any rough stuff there, all are welcome at Callahan's.

The funny thing is, places like Callahan's do actually exist. You don't find them, or even here about them, unless you really need to find them. They are havens outside the world where good fellowship, respect, and empathy still maintain a toehold in this brave new world.

Book Description

The discreet little bar that Jake Stonebender established a few blocks below Duval Street was named simply The Place. There, Fast Eddie Costigan learned to curse back at parrots as he played the house piano; the Reverend Tom Hauptman learned to tend bar bare-chested (without blushing), Long-Drink McGonnigle discovered the margarita and several sentilde;oritas, and all the other regulars settled into comfortable subtropical niches of their own. Nobody even noticed them save the universe.Over time, the twice-transplanted patrons of Callahan's Place attracted a collection of local zanies so quintessentially Key West pixilated that they made the New York originals seem, well, almost normal. The elfin little Key deer, for instance--with a stevedore's mouth; or the merman with eczema; or Robert Heinlein's teleporting cat.For ten slow, merry years, life was good. The sun shone, the coffee dripped, the breeze blew just strongly enough to dissipate the smell of the puns, and little supergenius Erin grew to the verge of adolescence. Then disaster struck. Through the gate one sunny day came a malevolent, moronic, mastodon of a Mafioso named Tony Donuts Jr., or Little Nuts (don't ask). He'd decided to resurrect the classic protection racket in Key West--and guess which tavern he picked to hit first? Then, thanks to very poor accessorizing (she chose the wrong belt--and no, we're not going to explain that one), Jake's wife, Zoey, suddenly found herself in a place with no light, no heat, and no air. And no way home. The urgent question was where-precisely where--but that turned out to be a problem so complex that even the entire gang, equipped with teleportation, time travel, and telepathic syntony (you can look it up) might not be able to crack it in time.And while all this was going on, Death himself walked into The Place. But this time he would not leave alone. . . .

Spider!.......2006-09-15

Having read this book makes me want to go back in time myself and visit Key West during the time period he was writing about! It will be interesting to see if Spider writes himself into a corner eventually with all of Erin's and Nikky's time traveling. There have been some errors I have noticed over time (the fate of Lady Macbeth, for example) in the Callahan's series. But being allowed time travel and aliens (both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial) can really save the world (and have a lot of fun doing it), or the universe, but it cannot keep loved ones from dying when it is their time, so things stay interesting. There are also some storylines that could be "fleshed" out (i.e. "Joe" Quigley and Arethusa's marriage/work and un-named child -- see "Lady Slings The Booze"). One of the things I like best about Spider is that he turns us on to writers, musicians, and geniuses some people have not heard of before (MacDonald, Koerner, and Tesla, etc.). For that he has earned a special place in the afterlife (if he doesn't spill too much whisky in the meantime)!

Why novels, Spider? Why?.......2005-06-05

The Callahan's short stories have always been among my favorites -- they're funny, uplifting, clever and sometimes deeply moving. Spider Robinson has written a wide variety of other short stories that are also intelligent and witty.

Unfortunately, none of the Callahan's novels are particularly good; it wasn't fun when Heinlein went off for a hundred-odd consecutive pages about how cool his characters were, and at this point that's what the Callahan's novels have degraded into.

The plot here is that Jake's new bar in Key West has been targeted by Tony Donuts, Jr., the son of an unmemorable villain from one of the Lady Sally books. They come up with this silly, over-elaborate plan to get Tony's mobster boss to whack him, focused on the time travel powers of Jake's irritating precocious daughter. The subplot also revolves around said daughter, as a Child Protection agent shows up, a bizarre cariacture of conformity who's identical to (and turns out to be related to) the bizarre cariactures of conformity that got Jake's previous bar shut down.

After a long sequence of Robinson trying and failing to write a sci-fi Carl Hiaasen novel, there's a wholly manufactured crisis that has nothing to do with the previous story -- because every Callahan's novel has to end with a repeat of the super-empath sequence from "The Mick of Time."

Save yourself some tsuris and go re-read the original stories -- or pick up one of Robinson's compilations of short stories, such as By Any Other Name. That's where he really shows his strength.

One of the best of a classic series........2004-09-14

The last few of the books derived from the old "Callhan's" series had seemed somewhat of a letdown from the older books; not that they were bad, but I didn't enjoy them nearly as much as I had the originals. I was beginning to wonder if it was me, not them; if I had changed sufficiently as I aged from my twenties into my forties that I could no longer appreciate the kind of story I'd enjoyed then.

I'm still not sure, but this book was definitely back on a par with the older entries in the series; it was flawed (so were they, if you looked hard enough) but it was good enough to overcome its flaws. More, it was good enough to overcome one of the flaws that really bothered me about the previous entry, "Callahan's Key"; I can't say too much without giving a spoiler, but suffice it to say that I don't expect Jake and the other Callahan's regulars to be insensitive jerks; they don't prejudge people simply because they're alien cyborgs, or sentient computer networks; it seemed wrong that they would prejudge someone just because she was (A) ugly and (B) had a silly name. The fact that they did made it pretty clear that Spider was, and that bothered me; in this book, we get his apology (via Jake).

If you've tried the Callahan's books before and found them pointless and silly, your opinion of this one will be the same. If you loved them all, you'll certainly love this one. If you've felt that they'd been slipping for a while, give this one a try; you may enjoy it. If you've NEVER tried the Callahan's books before, then if you like your science fiction WEIRD, well-written and moving in spite of being silly, you will probably enjoy this book, but you might want to read some of the earlier entries in the series first.

Callahan's Con is aptly named, cuz readers get conned fr 30.......2004-02-22

This is the first of Spider Robinson's books that I can honestly say sucked. Cal's Legacy wasn't real good, and I thought it time to retire Callahan's, but then Spider found the "key" and put out a fine installment. Yahoo, I bought his next book -- The Free Lunch -- in HC, and while not great, not bad, good enough to warrant shelling out for the HC of Cal's Con. Ohhh, if this were my intro to the wonderful world of Robinson, I would not return. If you haven't read, but are thinking of/wanting to, then may I suggest waiting for the SC; at least at ten bucks the disappointment won't be quite as monumental. Better idea, check it out from the library, cuz crap like it -- juevenile, illogical, and unimaginative -- should not be paid for. Bad enough it takes four hours to read. Heh Spider, I want a refund, or at least a discount on your next non-Callahan novel (I'm not giving up on him yet, but he's on, well, call it double-secret probation.)

Spider has done better in the past.......2004-02-01

I have loved all of Spider Robinson's books about the Callahan bunch! However, this book just didn't meet the standard of his other works..

Book Description

Callahan's Place is open for business, and all of the "regulars" are here--a talking dog, an alcoholic vampire, and two telepaths--enhancing their joys by drowning their sorrows. Everyone, that is, but Mickey Finn, a seven-foot tall alien in danger of enslavement at the hands of a traveller from across the galaxy....Come inside, pull up a chair, order a drink, make a toast, and let Spider Robinson introduce you to the most unique patrons to frequent any establishment, at a bar where the most important law is "shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased." And if there's time left at the end of the night, just maybe they'll save the world....

hilarious........1998-11-08

Hilarious; but only if you have odd taste. i would suggest trying some of Robinson's other work such as Stardance if you're in the mood for true scifi. Callahan is a time traveler that runs a bar in long island. punning only allowed on days that end in -y. a little off color at times but never raunchy. I love it.

This omnibus edition collects Spider Robinson's first three books about the Long Island bar that attracts the weirdest clientele and the tallest tales in the known universe. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Time Travelers Strictly Cash, and Callahan's Secret are playful, pun-filled delights from the pen of a truly inimitable writer, winner of the Skylark and John W. Campbell awards.

Book Description

Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is the neighborhood tavern to all of time and space, where the regulars are anything but: time travelers, talking dogs, alcoholic vampires, cybernetic aliens--and a group of people who really, truly care about each other. It's the rare kind of place where bad pun are as appreciated as good conversation.Time Travelers Strictly Cash is their policy, but then again everybody pays cash at Callahan's. Lay your money on the bar, name your poison, step up to the line drawn on the barroom floor, and after drinking make a toast and throw the glass into the fireplace. It's an odd tradition (don't worry about the cost--Callahan gets the glasses at a bulk discount), but one's that's led to some interesting stories.Callahan's Secret may be something even the regulars would never guess. then again, it may be as simple as listening to those post-toast stories. After-all, like Callahan says, shared pain is lessened and shared joy in increased--a simple concept that could, after a few drinks, lead to saving the world......This omnibus edition contains the trio of books that introduced the world to Mike Callahan, Jake Stonebender, Doc Webster, Mickey Finn, Fast Eddie Costigan, Long-Drink McGonnigle, Ralph Won Wau Wau and the rest of the regulars of Callahan's Place in the stories that helped Spider Robinson to win both a John W. Campbell Award and a legion of fans.

A Toast From the Chalk Line.......2006-09-19

I just read the Complete Callahan Chronicles - a collection of short stories Spider Robinson published over the years about a bar on Long Island where odd and mysterious things happen, but where all the patrons are friends and troubles are handled by a group - not by individuals.

It's the best example of a modern tribe I've seen and I wish I could go down to Callahan's Place and stand at the chalk line, drain a glass of scotch, offer up a toast, and toss my glass into the fireplace.

Terrible Book.......2005-10-28

I hated this book. Spider Robinson also wrote a scathing review of Stephen King's the Stand, which I think you should go out and read instead of this garbage.

It's about Feelings.......2005-09-30

To be honest, I use this book to weed out new people. If they really like the book, then they can become friends. If they dislike this book, or if it's "just okay", then I really don't want to know them. That's how good Callahan is, and how much the writing of Spider Robinson means to me. This is damned good stuff, people. Damned good stuff. If you don't like it, it's because you are not capable of feeling the human (or humane) condition. If that's true, I pity you.

The expression of an ideal.......2005-06-04

Callahan's Place is the ideal of the neighborhood bar: a place people go not so much to drink as to be together and share their lives. The Place's motto is that shared pain is lessened, while shared joy is increased; its regulars are a bunch of working-class joes who have developed an amazing degree of compassion and empathy ... not to mention a matter-of-fact outlook towards the occasional time-traveler or space alien who drops in.

It should be emphatically noted that the Callahan's books are not science fiction, although they're still speculative fiction -- Robinson is exploring the psychological universe, not the physical one. Nevertheless, this book alternates between laugh-out-loud hilarious and deeply moving, almost to the point of spiritual experience.

Unfortunately, as the series went on the stories got longer, incorporated more sci-fi elements and less humanity, and finally turned into just interminable rhapsodizing by Robinson about what would constitute the Ideal Party. All of the good stories (and the first couple of bad ones) are fortunately collected in this convenient volume, thus sparing you the horror that is Callahan's Key.

Warning: This review contains a spoiler.......2004-06-26

Somewhere in the afterword of "The Callahan Chronicals," Robinson alludes to an SF writer who wrote a series of stories that were deliberately bad, I suppose as a sort of commentary on the literary standards of the public. The series proved popular. After reading this note, I wondered for a few days what the series could be. Then, duh, it struck me. Robinson is, of course, referring to the stories in this very book. It's a reasonable joke, but not one I was happy to pay for. As for the stories themselves, if you like characters that are organic (i.e., wooden) and multidimensional-remember that one is a multiple of itself-and don't care about plots, you might like the book. Readers who prefer science fantasy to science fiction may like the book as well: most non-human characters are unique, freeing Robinson from any obligation to consider implications of the presence of different sentient species in this adolescent fantasy world. The book might also appeal to science fantasy fans who crave reassurance about how cool they are and who don't mind page after page of authors showing off how clever they are.

Naive?.......2007-04-14

I think it is interesting that the author began her introduction with the idea that one of the reasons parents have such a tough time with their child coming out is because the concept of homosexuality is somewhat novel in this century. In fact the phenomenon of homosexuality is anything but new, au contraire, it has been around since time immemorial. It was widely practiced by the Greeks, and later easily spread among the Romans as well: think Nero and his cohorts, etc. I believe the exact opposite is true: it's not because homosexuality is novel that many parents have a problem coming "to terms" with homosexuality, it's more likely that most adults react negatively towards their child's coming out, because of what's happened to civilizations in history due in some measure to the pervasive and debilitating effects homosexual behavior has had on society. It's just as possible that some folks' reactions are due to knowledge rather than ignorance...

Second edition is first rate!.......2003-02-12

This book is in its second edition -- updated in the 90's to include information about HIV and AIDS. One of the things that it stresses when coming out is to make sure to include the statement "BEING GAY DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GET AIDS." -- a few times if necessary.

I have felt the need to come out to my family for a long time about my own emotional/sexual status. This book helped me a lot as far as planning my strategy, what to say, etc. It contains a TON of useful info concerning how to make "coming out" as painless as possible -- *for all involved*.

To sum it right up? [edit] Here I am at 32 years old, and after having the grand "here's my life and all of its gory details" [love, sex, religion, you name it] discussion with my mom in Dec2003, I feel like I can breathe again. This book helped me formulate approaches for coming out about just about ANYthing that might not be "acceptable" in SOMEbody's eyes.

... not to mention -- it has some wonderful information in there for family members too, so if you aren't straight and narrow *definitely* lend it to them after you have come out, or if you are a family member who is still looking for some more answers as to how your child's/sibling's/parent's(') sexual orientation might effect your relationship with them -- BUY THIS BOOK!

Courage and Understanding this book will give you........2002-03-01

I just finished reading this book since it was recomened by so many. I can say that the author put allot of time into this book and has done a wonderful job.
As you read through this book you start to understand what you and your parents go thorugh in certain steps of your life and coming out.
I have been out to myself for just about a year. It was not until I accepted to myself that I am gay can I expect others to accept me for who I am.
After reading this book, I thought allot about my life, how I do not share it with family, then I realized it was time for me to come out to my parents and family.
I now have the courage thanks to this book. I hope you read this book and come to the conclusion that you too have the courage.

A great guide for GLBT youth and their parents.......2001-08-12

Coming out to my mom and dad was the most terrifying prospect I ever had to deal with, but I knew the day would come eventually when I had to face them with my being gay. Like so many gay people, I had no idea how to do it or even how to know that I was ready. Thank God for this book! It helped to make a potentially horrible experience better for me and for them. Thank you, Ms. Borhek!

Brilliant!.......2001-07-26

Awesome, I bought this for my parents after I came out to them because I noticed that they weren't dealing with it at all. They don't know gay people and therefore only saw gay people as stereotypes. This book brings your mind back to the obvious reasonings. They are still reading the book, so watch this space for their reactions. There is a section for religion and dealing with AIDS as well. Mary Borhek has done a wonderful job with this book. Unbiased and real!!
