St Louis Radio and Television
Author: Frank Absher
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738590578
Thoughts: Through pictures and detailed captions, this slim book covers St Louis radio and television from the start until the turn of the millennium, but I wish there was more from the latter part of the century.

Peer Gynt
Author: Henrik Ibsen
Publisher: Signet
ISBN: n/a
Thoughts: Peer Gynt is very different from any other Ibsen I have read, and it feels like it was not written by the Father of Modern Theatre being a.) in verse, b.) a fairytale-like fantasy, and c.) absurd (in the theatrical sense).
