LATEST COSBY
BOOK IN AT
THE LIBRARY

By JUDY WEARMOUTH

Librarian

Nobody has time to read at this time of year?Not 80,
judging by the volume of books going out of the Castlegar
Library. It’s just as well there are some coming in too!

How's this for some happy Christmas reading?Bill
Cosby turned 50 this year and not surprisingly, he's
making fun of thé subject of getting older. In Time Flies,
the trials and tribulations of mid-life, the aches and pains,
the battle of the bulge, loss of memory and eyesight, are
all grist for his mill and accurately recorded in his own
hilarious style. He says, “The only good thing about the
decline of my memory is that it has brought me closer to
my mother, for she and I now forget things at the same
time;” and “Don't worry about senility, when it hits you,
you won't know it.”

Another very funny man is Arthur Black, creator of
CBC Radio's Basic Black. His radio sketches deal with
every day, homey matters that touch us all and he's
compiled them into a very entertaining book, called Back
to Black. Read about “the marrying prodigy”, “mer-
chandising mosquitoes” and wryly agree with “my
dishwaster doesn't” and “not keeping up with the sexual
revolution.”

Here's an additional treat for all the people following
David Attenborough’s TV series, The First Eden. His
companion book, The First Eden, the Mediterranean
World and Man, gives us a chance to linger over the
tantalizing images we glimpse only momentarily on TV.
Attenborough's very readable text describes the natural
history of the Mediterranean and tells at the same time
the fascinating story of mankind's changing attitudes to
the natural world.

Caesars of the Wilderness is part two of Peter C.
Newman's history of the Hudson's Bay Company. In this
volume Newman hier dh documents how the Hudson Bay
Cc ‘3 by the North West
Company, a group oa independent traders out of
Montreal. The two sides engaged in the most violent
commercial feud ever and their accounts were often
settled in blood. One critic said that Newman's
“Rollicking tale of capitalism among the beavers and the
caribou makes Lee Iacocca’s account of Chrysler seem
tame.”

The beloved children's author, Jean Little, has
written a short juvenile autobiography called Little by
Little, describing hér childhood and how she got her first
book published. Being nearly blind from birth, she was
often ridiculed by school mates for her “bad eyes” and she
retreated into the world of her imagination and started
writing stories about handicapped children triumphing
over their disabilities.

The famous criminal lawyer, Eddie Greenspan, is one
of Canada’s most colorful d_ controversial characters.
Both loved and hated, he's a larger than life, complex man
whose determination to see that human rights are kept to
the forefront in the judicial system has been a consistent
passion throughout his meteoric career. In Greenspan,
the Case for the Defence, he presents a stimulating
account of his 20 years in the courts, and he also takes us
behind the scenes for a glimpse of Greenspan, the man,
who can eat a whole week's rations in two days and needs
very little sleep.

Jack Hodgins is the popular Canadian writer whose
novels have put Vancouver Island firmly on the literary
map. His latest, The Honorary Patron, is a warm and
humorous story about a man who went back home to
Vancouver Island after 40 years away and finds all his old
skeletons still waiting to fall out of the closets around
him. Jeffrey Crane, a retired art historian, gets a sudden
invitation to be an honorary patron of an arts festival
back in his own home town. He'd left all those years ago
under a cloud of scandal and was stunned that the
messenger sent to track him down was a former lover.
He'd also long decided to withdraw from the stress of
involvement with people. Needless to say, his cloistered
life gets thrown open to romance and former enemies try
to be friends.

Years ago, Lillian Beckwith wrote a series of books
about life in the Hebrides and they've been firm favorites
of our patrons ever since. She's now come up with
another heartwarming story called A Proper Woman.
Growing up in a remote crofting village, Anna lives a
simple but charmed life never dreaming that her home
and security might be threatened. On the death of her
parents, the family croft goes, according to traditional, to
her brother. He's married to a city girl and sells the croft,
leaving Anna homeless and destitute. She's forced into a
loveless marriage with the cruel Black Fergus and her life
becomes bleak. However, she endures through many
years of bitter hardship and eventually finds love and
fulfillment.

The Hour of the Lily by John Kruse is action
adventure on a grand scale, set in Afghanistan in the
1980s. An underground network is working to free the
country from its Russian occupiers; codenamed Lily, the
network has managed to infiltrate the heart of Soviet
intelligence in Kabul. It’s rumored that the leader is a
woman and that she could be the best hope for the
Afghan rebels. But her identify could prove to be their
greatest danger.

ment and Parks Minister

tem which will enhance the
appeal of one of the most
beaiutiful parts of our prov-
ince,” Strachan said in a pre-
pared release.

The new system com;

902 hectares (746 acres) of
lakefront land, some with
met access, and includes:

ular as the similar systems
