About the Book

About the book "To Be Or Not To Be" In this the tenth book of the Make My Day series, we find another aspect of the author's multi-sided personality. An engineer and economist with a talent for mathematics, a poet and essayist with a talent for the communications arts, a businessman with the talent for making money - a Renaissance Man with the two sides of his brain equally developed and an IQ of 170 - he is also a lover of books, music and performance arts. In this book, Henares displays his love of the stage, of Shakespeare, and the musicals of Broadway. Here he writes of the Shakespeare in his life, "exploring the splendor and the meanness of the human spirit, the towering heights to which it can ascend, and the miry depths to which it can sink"; Julius Caesar, the shortest and most perfectly constructed of Shakespeare's plays; Romeo and Juliet, romantic Tragedy of Fate; and Hamlet, the complex Tragedy of Character. Here in this book he relates the stories of his favorite musical plays - Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon and Cats - including the full libretto of lyrics so that his readers may assume the role of bathroom tenors and sopranos singing in the shower along with the CDs. He added the romantic story of Cyrano who had an ugly nose and a big heart, and The Miracle Worker, the inspiring story of the blind and deaf Helen Keller and her blind teacher. He completes the volume with brilliant and incisive essays on Philippine History for those who flunked the course; on Rats, man's rival for the mastery of the earth; on why men of talent wear a woman's gown; the Philippine Statehood Movement; the dilemma of the Last Filipino; and Emilio Aguinaldo, the Father of our country. ----------------------- FOREWORD By Hilarion "Ronnie" Henares III, son and thespian In the play Julius Caesar, Cassius is depicted as a malcontent with something mordant, bitter, almost misanthropic in his nature; "he loves no plays; he hears no music"; and such a man Shakespeare knew, was "fit for treasons." Someone like the Opus Dei economists who are never seen attending plays or concerts at the Cultural Center or anywhere else, and who serve the interests of multinational corporations, especially the oil companies and drug monopolists who do the most harm to the well-being of the Filipino people. Dr. Luis Esteban Latorre, former Opus Dei priest who personally served the Opus Dei founder and saint Jose Maria Escriva Balaguer, adds another dimension to these humorless misanthropes, "They are inveterate book burners. They burn books of Jesuit philosophers, free thinkers and anyone else they disagree with. Our family set of Great Books have been truncated and gutted by Opus Dei who borrowed them, consigning many of our precious books to the flames." This in contrast to the love of books and of drama and music by Jesuit-trained Larry Henares, engineer-economist-journalist, who now gives us the tenth volume of his Make My Day series of incisive essays, and an insight into another aspect of his colorful character. He loves books, and most of his life he read one book a day. His grandfather, when told that young Larry in his third grade had the highest IQ (170) in Pangasinan in a national IQ test conducted by the Department of Education among its administrators, teachers and students, promised to buy any book Larry wanted. By the time he was in 7th grade he was honored by the Philippine Education Co. as the one person who has bought more books than anyone else except the school libraries. Larry Henares is also a lover of music, of the classic works of Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and others, and especially of Frank Sinatra with his most complete set of recordings of this great singer. He has over 400 CDs, over 100 MP3 recordings of all the LPs and 78s he and his parents (MORE INSIDE)
