![]() Year of the Spider $13.98 Cold has some really great cds out there, and this is one of my favorite ones. I also think A Different Kind of Pain is great too. If I compaired their sound to another band it would definately be similar to Staind in their earlier days in like Break the Cycle or Disfunction. Scooter Ward (singer of Cold) has some great lyrics that have alot of meaning and thought put into every song. I've loved the band since I was 16 and first heard them. Now 26 I'm still listening to the cds over and over again. ![]() Cold: A Novel $12.00 I have always loved a good story. John Smolens can tell one -- in aces. A few years ago I discovered his 2001 book, "Cold", a novel set in the frozen winter fastness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and peopled with characters so real you would swear you had met them before. It was the kind of story that grabbed you on page one, sucked you into the vortex of its white-out blizzard setting, and finally deposited you breathless and gasping on the final page, wishing there were more. You came to know his characters, but you wanted to know more. It wasn't that the story was incomplete. Quite the opposite. "Cold" is a perfect gem of the writing craft. Even its secondary and minor characters come alive as real and recognizable flesh-and-blood people. I hope he brings the principals back in a sequel one day. - Tim Bazzett, author of Love, War & Polio[...] ![]() Cold: Adventures in the World's Frozen Places $24.99 COLD: ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD'S FROZEN PLACES is packed with examination of cold and ice, offering a poetic, involving and moving account of the author's experiences of cold and its importance in a warming world.
