Armistead Maupins 'Landgeschichten' ist ein Gesellschaftsroman, der das bunte Lebensgefühl San Franciscos in die ländlichen Cotswolds bringt. Durch seine Texte bricht Maupin seit den Siebzigern mit lakonischem Witz kulturelle Grenzen auf.  Mona Ramsey aus San Francisco hätte nie gedacht, dass aus ihr einmal Lady Mona Roughton werden würde. Als Alleinerbin eines charmanten britischen Anwesens sorgt sie für ordentlich Wirbel in der ländlichen Gesellschaft der Cotswolds. Um ihr Landgut über Wasser zu halten, hat Mona zusammen mit ihrem Adoptivsohn Wilfred die Türen von Easley House für zahlende Gäste geöffnet. Die Freude über den bevorstehenden Besuch ihres alten Freundes Michael Tolliver wird getrübt durch die Ankunft eines amerikanischen Ehepaars, das ein dunkles Geheimnis umgibt. Mona muss all ihren Charme und ihren Erfindungsreichtum einsetzen, um die Dinge vor dem jährlichen Mittsommernachtsfest in Ordnung zu bringen. Für Fans von Armistead Maupin und diejenigen, die es werden wollen - Monas Abenteuer im England der 1990er-Jahre sind kultig, amüsant und queer. Der zehnte Band der 'Stadtgeschichten'-Reihe kann unabhängig gelesen werden. Erstmals in den Siebzigerjahren erschienen, hat Armistead Maupin sich mit seinem 'Stadtgeschichten' Zyklus sowohl über soziale als auch über sexuelle Barrieren hinweggesetzt, noch bevor die LGBTQIA+ Community überhaupt so genannt wurde. Er lässt seine heterosexuellen und queeren Charaktere gleichermaßen Herzschmerz und Triumph, atemraubenden Schrecken und erfreuliche Zufälle erleben. Das Ergebnis ist eine funkelnde und süchtig machende Sittenkomödie.

Not Quite Up to Simpsons Comics Standards, but Still Fun
Format: Paperback
Despite the cover, there is no western-related comic in this book (probably a good thing). This comic book is funny (it includes a comic book convention survival guide and a look at Lisa's dream house), but Matt Groening and company really raised the bar with some of their other comic books-hence the four star grade. "Krustonia"-Krusty starts his own utopian nation to avoid paying income taxes. Sounds like something he'd do. "Flanders' Big Score"-Fun-diddly-fun comic where amateur detective Ned Flanders investigates the case of the missing church fund-raiser money. "Let's Get Ready to Bumble"-Homer becomes a professional wrestler. Not as good as the other comics in this book. "Bringing Down Baby"-Short starring Maggie which also includes the infamous baby with the one eyebrow. Only mildly amusing. "Smitherses!"-The nuclear power plant employees are on strike for a 5 cent per year raise. True to form, Mr. Burns decides that the best solution is to clone a staff of devoted sycophants (i.e. Smitherses). When the Smitherses begin to compete for Mr. Burns' attention-Watch out! This is a funny, imaginative comic. "Bore Us the Movie Gruel"-Bart and company watch a 1950s film starring Troy McClure (how old is this guy?) and a mule. The usual sarcastic comments are offered. "Radioactive Homer"-A complicated comic. The gist of it is that Homer believes he is Radioactive Man and joins forces with Leon (insane asylum inmate "Michael Jackson" in the TV episode "Stark Raving Dad") to take down Mr. Burns' "Project Q" (mentioned in Simpsons Comics #1 in the Extravaganza book). Has a very funny ending.

Krustonia
Format: Paperback
This was an okay book, with nothing exceptional. Starting the book off with "Krustonia" was a big mistake, as it's easily the worst Simpsons comic ever. Once you start reading it, it gets boring, so take my advice, read everything else first, then come back to this one, since I lost enthusiasm after struggling to complete Krustonia for several days. That said, Homer's wresting days are really funny, the Smithers clones are strange, but somehow very entertaining. (Mr. Burns better watch out :) and Homer as Radioactive Man was great, especially to see Leon "Michael Jackson" Komposki back. I also liked the mini-Ned Flanders mystery, and the guide to comic book conventions. If it weren't for Krustonia, this book would be the perfect buy.

Perfect For Game Developers w/ Some Experience Wishing To Learn Unreal Fast
Format: Kindle
Rachel Cordone’s Unreal Engine 4 Game Development Quick Start Guide is the perfect book for people with some programming chops, or users of other engines (like Unity), that want to get up to speed quickly with Unreal. I really liked how the author does not waste time explaining basic things (like what functions or variables are) and jumps to the practical steps for getting things working. Unreal experience is not required at all, though you should have some foundation of how programming works to get the most out of the text. Most of the book is using Blueprints, the built-in visual scripting language of UE4. I’m a huge fan of Blueprints, and visual scripting in general, and you can accomplish many things, even a whole game, without touching C++. However, Rachel does show how to use C++ and interface with Blueprints code (very handy). Within the book, the author explains each step along the way to accomplish various things, along with screenshots of the Blueprints, making everything easy to follow. Some of the topics covered include: the basics of navigating the editor, using variables, functions, events, and creating a Blueprint from scratch. Adding C++ to a Blueprint project. Creating menus and HUDs with UMG, animation, scripting AI, multiplayer, and optimization. Definitely not an exhaustive list, but a good range of information to get a feel for how powerful Unreal is and how to quickly start working with it. So far, I’ve only read maybe a couple other Unreal books, but I think I can say this is the best I’ve seen. While some other books are longer and more in depth, as this one only clocks in at just under 200 pages, I feel like the brevity helps keep things focused. While you’re not creating Grand Theft Auto here, the simple demo built in the book is functional and teaches the basics of how you would make a game in Unreal. This is a case where the title of the book is very apt and honest. This is a “quick start” guide for game developers not familiar with Unreal Engine 4, but maybe that have experience with Unity or some other engine or framework. I think if you are a complete beginner, you might want to read up on basic programming concepts first, though the book is simple enough you could probably just jump in if you really wanted. For people with experience elsewhere, this is perfect to get up to speed with Unreal fast. I can’t recommend this book enough.
