1.Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of CivilizationHuman Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
Reading this book makes me wonder -- can the US really entertain a black president? (I hope so.) We've certainly come a long way re acceptance of Catholics, Jews, women's and black's rights. But we still have a long way to go.
But what struck me after reading the book was, how would history... more info

2.Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on PaperDouble Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper
from Vintage
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Nicholson Baker's Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper is a fiery polemic dedicated to the task of protecting what he sees as one of our nation's most important resources: our libraries' massive stockpile of seldom-used older books and newspapers. As Baker explains, the extent of our... more info

3.The MezzanineThe Mezzanine
from Vintage
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
It's really painful for me to read the fawning praise by other Amazon reviewers lionizing this book for its originality. The entire work could serve as a cliché for artistic pretentiousness at its worst, an exercise in trivial and transparently post-modern intellectual narcissism. Often when... more info

4.The FermataThe Fermata
from Vintage
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
This book is interesting just from the responses people have toward it. Just read the other reviews and you get a flavor. I have given this book to guys and they mostly enjoy it. However, the women who I have given it to have largely disliked it and even been offended. However, I did pass this book... more info

5.VoxVox
from Vintage
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
This is a quick little read-just over 40,000 words-about a man and a woman having phone sex. I've always borne the prejudice that nothing could be less interesting than phone sex, particularly somebody else's phone sex. And yet, here we have two people who stray from the topic at hand (so to... more info

6.Selected Shorts: Lots of Laughs! (Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story)Selected Shorts: Lots of Laughs! (Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story)
from Symphony Space
Price: $18.48

Customer Review:
I have been a devoted Selected Shorts fan for about 12 years and I thought this collection was really first-class. I listened to it at night in the car when I was on the road and enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the stories "Farrell's Caddy" and "Chivalry." The other stories were very good, too. I... more info

7.The Size of Thoughts: Essays and Other LumberThe Size of Thoughts: Essays and Other Lumber
from Vintage
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Based on reading just half this book I scrambled back to Amazon and ordered everything else he's written. (Then I went back and finished the rest of SIZE OF THOUGHTS; the brilliance never dimmed. Baker's amazing agility with words never stopped surprising and tickling.)
Those other books are... more info

8.A Book of BooksA Book of Books
from Bulfinch
Price: $21.89

Customer Review:
This is a great book and very interesting for everyone, not just artistic photographers. I love it! The only thing that was disappointing was that the label on the back of the book put on by Amazon was incredibly sticky and very hard to remove. I nearly damaged the book trying to get it off so be... more info

9.Room TemperatureRoom Temperature
from Vintage
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:
Room Temperature is certainly about a father and his child, but there is so much more. In typical Baker style, he examines minutia with elucidating commentary. This, in itself, is worth reading the novel; however, the quality that makes it transcend happens to be his ability to unite the entire book... more info

10.The Everlasting Story of NoryThe Everlasting Story of Nory
from Vintage
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Baker manages to perfectly encapsulate the mind of a nine year old in all its semi-logical, semi-nonsensical glory. Nory feels like a living, breathing child, as do her classmates and younger brother. A beautiful book.
