' **i£$ '1*^1 -- McHenry ^;:|y Library • .ornerMaln and Green Sts. HOURS Monday thro Friday 2 p.m. to 8 p.rau Saturday 1 p.m. to 5 pan. THE McHENRY PL AINDEALER *£i _. ----- . Thursday, December 30, 1 "Doll" by Ed McBain An 87th Precinct Mystery Adult . It all began with the end of a living doll named Tina Sachs --a beauty who had faded into statistics about twelve hours before the 87th got the call. Tina had been one of the nation's top fasH&on models and Her bizarre demise posed a lot of curious questions. N°body seemed to have an answer, until Detective Carella discovered how to make a dead doll talk. Doll is an unprecedented thriller charged with more than the usual amount of McBain irony and suspense. It is a unique case that one detective solves too quickly, leaving the rest of the 87th Precinct completely in the dark, and with precious little time to see the light. "Waiting for a Tiger" by Ben Healey Adult Mystery Paul Hedley, the well-known artist, was sitting in the sun in the Place du Casino, Monte Carlo, contentedly having a drink, when a stranger, a mousy woman, crept past a stucco pillar and sat down at his table. She explained to him that she was on a quiet, solitary holiday, but for some reason someone kept trying to kill her. Paul's first instinct was to remove himself from her presence, instead of which he found himself happily involved in her problems. This is a swift and suspensefill novel set against a gay and glamorous background, with a very appealing hero and heroine, and a lot of action. "The Mind Readers" by Margery Allinham Adult Mystery "Early one Thursday evening, five apparently unrelated incidents in five ordinary normal lives were taking place at points set far apart.

Mr. Campion and his friend, Detective Luke, call it tho most devilishly challenging problem of their respective careers. After a bit of unofficial experimentation with the tube, which they have confiscated from the boys, they suspect it of being a major scientific breakthrough in the field of communications. The streets of London become fhe scene of a marvelous chase with the whole of the international set from spies to bankers in full pursuit. "Games People P'ay" by Erick Berne, M.D. The Psychology of Human Relationships. People tend to live their lives by consistently playing out certain "games" in the intprpersonal relationships. They play these games for a variety of reasons: to avoid confronting reality, to conceal ulterior motives, to rationalize their activities, or to avoid actual participation. Those games, if they are not destructive, are both desireable and necessary, and in the present volume Dr. Berne offers the reader a thorough fascinating analysis of thirty-six games, which he breaks^ down into seven major categories. In this present volume, Dr. Berne develops, elaborates and show how people can achieve a new self awareness by analyzing their behavior in terms of games, and so learn to live more constructive lives. Addressed to the intelligent layman, "Games People Play" is written in clear, simple witty language. "The Winner By Julio Cor- An Adult Novel The appearance of "The Winner" in the United States is a major literary event, introducing an outstanding writer of remarkable scope and presenting an absorbing and altogether irresistable novel that will attain a notable position among the best works of fiction of our day. A widely assorted group of people win as a lottery prize a cruise, destination unknown. Their journey reads like and is, a superb story of suspense that ranges from the most unconventional of love affairs to the violent death of one of the passengers. This book is the world in minature, and some of contempory fictions' most memorable characters inhabit it. They are forced to a deadly knowledge of themselves Julio Cortazar's profound skill in creating a novel that has many levels of meaning yet thoroughly entertains with the pleasure of its narrative alone.

Main St. McHenry, Illinois Phone 385-4200 Farm," which has become a classic of our time, has been illustrated by John Halas and Joy Batchelor, creators of the motion picture based on the book and produced by Louis de Rochemont Associates. When "Animal Farm" first appeared in 1946, it was a selection of the Book of the Month Club and Harry Scherman, President of the Club, made a personal statement to subscribers urging them not to miss it. He wrote, "Every now and then through History some inspired individual has spoken out for the people of a troubled era, and clarified their thinking by doing so. Just so does this little gem of an allegory express, perfectly, the inner but inarticulate philosophy of tens of millions of free men in our present anxious world. Where ever in the world men are free to read what they want, this book and its influence will spread. "Skinner" by Hugh C. Rae .. Hugh C. Rao's harrowing tale of a pathological killer at large in a quiet Scottish community. The crimes increase. There is a senseless multiple murder in a candy shop, but there is no weapon. There is the disappearance and presumed death of another girl, but there is no body. It all comes to a mortal struggle between Skinner and Inspector Booth, a battle more of wills than of wits. Rae has created not only chilling psychologic study but a cracking good suspense novel with a truly night marish climax. "The Giant Canada Goose l»y Harold C.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION "On Dec. 31 at midnight, a tired overburdened old man will bow out and a new infant will take his place. Most of us make new resolutions for the new year and a majority of us forget them, in time. "In this wonderful age of miracles when we can sit in our homes and see even those who are trying to reach the moon, what have we to look forv»ard to in 1967? "Nothing can be accomplished without effort. I am giving an open message to those who are elected by a majority to make the laws by- which we are governed. For instance, any law that says 1 need your property and you must sell it at what I value it for and if we don't accept, condemnation is practiced is a law of dictatorship and does not fit into a free country. There are other laws that have been passed in the last legislature that could not bear a good sound scrutiny. "Let us make a resolution to watch these lawmakers and try to elect those in 1966 who want to keep this country free by Canada and in the United States. Though the definite study of the Canada Goose has yet to be written, this book provides a complete summary of our knowledge of one of our outstanding birds. M ALU GOOD WISHES FOR THE constitutional government, and We will go a long way to help the little old man on Dec. 31, 1966, to smile at the little infant, 1967 and we will all be benefitted in the long run.
