Proof: A Play
David Auburn

Faber & Faber, 2001

The essence of genius in combination with madness
This play captures the essence of mathematicians and some of the ways they do mathematics. Catherine is the daughter of her mathematician father Robert, who was brilliant and revolutionary in his early twenties, but has descended into madness. For the last few years ...
  
  











  



  
Lord of the Flies, Educational Edition
William Golding

Faber and Faber, 2004

The Head of an Animal . . .
Well, most people in America have already read "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, which is definitely a classic. So I'm not going to give a synopsis, just a general appraisal of the work. The main characters (Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Roger, and many more) are very ...
  
  











  



  
On Film-making: An Introduction to the Craft of the Director
Alexander Mackendrick

Faber & Faber, 2005

He changed me
When Sandy MacKenrick told my CalArts MFA Thesis committee that my thesis film script was, "long, much too long, and very much too long" and, "doomed to never be completed", I was shocked and terrified. Sandy was one of the most brilliant and irritating people ever ...
  
  











  



  
Arcadia: A Play
Tom Stoppard

Faber & Faber, 1994

"In an ocean of ashes, islands of order . . ."
Though I am very fond of "The Invention of Love," "Jumpers, " "The Real Thing," "The Real Inspector Hound," and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, " this is Stoppard's best play, his most beautiful and most moving. We get the usual Stoppard erudition and the usual ...
  
  











  



  
The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller
John Truby

Faber & Faber, 2007

Very Well-Rounded
This is a very deep book to read, but when you work with it- do the exercises, the results are pretty amazing. A very well-rounded book.

Wit : A Play
Margaret Edson

Faber & Faber, 1999

Wit analysis
I read this book for a nursing class I am taking. It's a wonderful depiction of hospitalization, giving accurate portrayals of doctors, nurses and patients, which is surprising being written by a lay person. It was an easy read, about 45 minutes. I would recommend this ...

The Animator's Survival Kit
Richard Williams

Faber & Faber, 2002

An indispensable reference
This a must-purchase for the starting animator. I read The Illusion of Life first, which was a lot of words and theory but fewer walk-throughs (though you should buy that, too!). Get it, you won't be disappointed.
  
  











  



  
Paul Newman
Daniel O'Brien

Faber and Faber, 2005

Paul Newman
Excellent, large picture book with great narrative about one of the greatest actors. I highly recommend this book. The pictures are large, color, black and white - beautiful.
  
  











  



  
Fat Pig: A Play
Neil LaBute

Faber & Faber, 2004

"A Boy-Man For All Seasons"
Evelyn Waugh said years ago he revered the Church because its high standards "kept him human." Neil LaBute shows us a world several rungs below Waugh's. His characters lack not just a Church, but even a secular Code of Manners. Therefore, they lack awareness of any ...

The Philokalia: The Complete Text (Vol. 1); Compiled by St. Nikodimos of the Holy Mountain and St. Markarios ...

Faber & Faber, 1983

Worth waiting for!
Excellent text of the writings of the early Christians. I'd recommend it, and the rest of the series, to anyone who wants to know how the Church started and what it actually believed. My only problem with the order was that it took so long to arrive. It was one ...
  
  











  



  
Tom Stoppard: Plays 5 : Arcadia, The Real Thing, Night & Day, Indian Ink, Hapgood
Tom Stoppard

Faber & Faber, 2000

A Fantastic Collection
This is a great collection of Tom Stoppard plays, and includes some of his best works. Arcadia is one of Stoppard's greatest plays - a bizarre combination of physics, mathematics, poetry, a good old-fashioned academic stoush and romance (or lust) to boot. A fantastic ...
