The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson

4 recommendations

"The Diamond Age or A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer definitely deserves to be on any sci-fi or cyberpunk fiction fan's reading list! If you like American Gods by Neil Gaiman, you'll also like The Diamond Age. Set in a futuristic Shanghai gone to hell to with blood exploding nano weapons and a Eurasian heroine, you can't go wrong!"

"Wow, what a dense book. It's not an easy read, but it is a lot of fun. Much more accessible than the Baroque Cycle books."

Neil Diamond - Best of Neil Diamond [Spectrum/Universal] [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"The Best Of from Universal UK was originally released in 1996 on MCA as The Best of Neil Diamond, and as far as "greatest-hits" collections go, it's in the upper echelon. There are no insufferable stretches of mid-'80s material like "Heartlight" or "Headed for the Future"; rather, the compilers chose to focus on the pop/rock legend's prolific late-'60s/'70s period. While by no means exhaustive, cl..."

Neil Diamond - The Neil Diamond Collection [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"Although not as comprehensive an anthology of Neil Diamond's eight-album, four-year affiliation with MCA as 1992's 38-track double Glory Road, The Neil Diamond Collection is a definitive single-disc recap of one of his extensive career's most influential periods. It's a beautifully remastered, non-chronologically arranged 67 minutes of studio highlights from Diamond's most ambitious, if not his mo..."

The Neil Diamond Collection: Neil Diamond

1 recommendation

"I put this on here mainly because it has "Sweet Caroline" on it, which is probably one of the happiest songs ever in my opinion. If you don't smile you're weird (jokes! but you are a little)."

Neil Morris Fragrance in Afire

1 recommendation

"There’s sexy, sexier and then “Afire”! It’s smoldering, hazy, heady….from the first spritz until the end of the night. What impressed me most (and is also a feature of other Neil Morris fragrances I’ve tried) is the various opening notes (in this case citrus, berries and caramel) actually seemed to morph into additional combinations when the middle note of frankincense came in later in the da..."

Neil Morris Fragrance in Zephyr

1 recommendation

"Not only is the name incredibly inspiring – but even at my first whiff I became a believer in Neil Morris and his fragrance creating abilities. Zephyr is a breezy floral with peppy citrus notes that I ended up wearing every day happily. Zephyr begins with Top Notes of Tangerine and Papaya that combine with lovely Heart Notes of Honeysuckle and Casablanca Lily. This combination was bracing and ..."

"This is an essential for any Neil Young fan - A solo performance by Neil Young at Massey Hall (Toronto). Even if I wasn't there, I still feel the connection and pure emotion of that night."

Neil Morris forTakashimaya Perfume

1 recommendation

"I was positively bowled over with how amazing Neil Morris' latest creation is. This scent started out SO bright and fresh and clean, with the Mandarin and Bergamot the most prominent notes on me. It then enveloped me to the point that it made me feel completely uplifted and happy! Next the sweeter, softer more velvety notes like Jasmin Tea, Plum Blossom and Cherry Blossom came up on my skin, w..."

Neil Young - Greatest Hits [Audio CD] It may be hard to believe, but 2004's Greatest Hits is not only the first retrospective Ne

1 recommendation

"It may be hard to believe, but 2004's Greatest Hits is not only the first retrospective Neil Young has released since 1977's Decade, it's the first ever single-disc collection of his best-known songs. That's a span of 27 years separating the two collections, which is an awful long time to resist a Greatest Hits disc -- many of his peers succumbed, offering countless comps during those years -- and..."

Neil Young - Decade [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"Given the quirkiness of Neil Young's recording career, with its frequent cancellations of releases and last-minute rearrangements of material, it is a relief to report that this two-disc compilation is so conventional and so satisfying. A 35-track selection of the best of Young's work between 1966 and 1976, it includes songs performed by Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and the S..."

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"Neil Young's second solo album, released only four months after his first, was nearly a total rejection of that polished effort. Though a couple of songs, "Round Round (It Won't Be Long)" and "The Losing End (When You're On)," shared that album's country-folk style, they were altogether livelier and more assured. The difference was that, while Neil Young was a solo effort, Everybody Knows This Is ..."

Neil Diamond - The Greatest Hits (1966-1992) [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"Columbia has been Diamond's label since 1973, and it acquired the rights to his Bang material of 1966-1968. But MCA still controls the recordings from 1968-1973. That's why (although you won't find out by reading the album cover) this two-disc, 37-track retrospective consists of the original versions of such hits as "Cherry, Cherry" (1966) and "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (1978) but covers the mid..."

Neil Gaiman - American Gods

2 recommendations

"A scintillating sci-fi/fantasy book that was recommended by a brilliant scientist friend of mine. It's an absolutely amazing read, so I wanted to pass it on. Here's a quote from his site: One of the most talked-about books of the new millennium, American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite ..."

Neil Young's Greatest Hits

1 recommendation

"I like to collect Neil Young albums individually ("Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" = my favorite), but this is a fantastically assembled best-of: It's got "Rockin' in The Free World," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Cowgirl in the Sand," and 14 other classics."

Neil Diamond Home Before Dark

"Home Before Dark is the long awaited new album from legendary artist Neil Diamond. Home Before Dark was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin who also produced Neil’s critically acclaimed 12 Songs."

Sweet Caroline: Neil Diamond

"I love this song for obvious reasons and can't help but sing along every time. Elvis and U2 did their own renditions of this song, but Neil did it the best."

One Universe: At Home in the Cosmos: Neil de Grasse Tyson, Charles Tsun-Chu Liu, Robert Irion

1 recommendation

"Tyson, Liu and Irion are some of the best astronomers and science communicators around today, and their book "One Universe: At Home in the Cosmos" is a brilliantly written and accessible book for anyone fascinated in what's around us, what makes things tick and the natural order of the universe. They take complex ideas and theories and make them understandable, they reduce the immense scope o..."

Harvest Moon by Neil Young

1 recommendation

"Harvest Moon was released in 1992 and is full of acoustic-folk whimsy. Neil Young hits the mark with this album. Harvest is his best-known album, with perhaps his best song "The Needle and the Damage Done", but this sequel to Harvest is a robust collection that shares a universal message and is incredibly listenable for almost any audience. There isn't a single track to skip on this album. Fo..."

The Dangerous Alphabet: Neil Gaiman, Gris Grimly

2 recommendations

"This book feels very Edward Gorey to me, in the best possible way. As these two children set out to follow their treasure map, they find a sinister world beneath the sewers. The young boy and their plucky gazelle must discard the map and fight past evil pirates and nere-do-wells to rescue his sister who has been snatched away. Told very simply, in 13 rhyming couplets, coinciding (almost) wi..."

The Facts In The Case Of The Departure Of Miss Finch by Neil Gaiman & Michael Zulli

1 recommendation

"This book was a long time coming, originally slated for release over a year ago, but this adaptation of a short story by Neil Gaiman is worth the wait. If you've liked Michael Zulli's adaptations of Mr Gaiman's writing in the past, then you're sure to like this. The story, also available in Fragile Things, centers around a "true story", in so much as the characters are ostensibly Mr Gaiman and..."
