Sunday, with books: Das Rheingold, Thomas Perry, and Twilight of the Elites

I had to move Sunday with books over to Edukindle this week due to server maintenance at eReadups.

Looking though dusty stacks of vinyl records yesterday we came upon a set of disks of Wagner’s Das Rheingold. The records themselves looked clean so we picked them up. Back at home, we dug out the old turntable and dropped the needle on disk one. A few hours later, we were standing in the dark listening to the powerful sounds of this, the first opera of Wagner’s Ring Cycle. As we were scrambling to sort out the story from the German libretto and various English translations, I came upon a very cool book, Stories from the Wagner Operas, that was written not long after the operas themselves. So this week’s download is a copy of that book, with illustrations, that I pulled down from Gutenberg.
