| | 2. | [no image] | The Lay of the Land
from Knopf
Price: $5.99
Customer Review:
I started the Frank Bascombe chronicles in the middle by reading the second book in the trilogy, Independence Day. I was blown away by Independence Day and, sadly, less so by Lay of the Land. This isn't to suggest I disliked Lay of the Land, but that it wasn't as luminous and compelling as the... more info

| | 3. |  | The Sportswriter
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I have read Richard Ford's "Frank Bascombe" trilogy in the incorrect order. First I read "Independence Day," the middle book. That book was astonishing, and it ranks among the best books I've ever read. Then I went to "Lay of the Land," which is the last of the series (so far), and it's very, very... more info

| | 4. |  | Winesburg, Ohio
from Caedmon
Price: $34.95
Customer Review:
It isn't often I get frustrated with any classics, but Winesburg, Ohio was different. It has some moments where it just seems to get lost in the prose (the only problem is that I mean this literally). While, there are some interesting moments about George Willard, his family and those who live in... more info

| | 5. |  | Independence Day
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This is one of those books I re-read every couple of years. Frank Boscombe is just the perfect everyman, muddling through his mid-life existence period with humor and tenderness. Love this book. Love this series.

| | 9. |  | Rock Springs
from Vintage Contempories
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Having just finished a standard tourist guide to Wyoming that rightly sings the praises of the uplifting value of the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, et al., I thought it would be useful to read another, entirely different "guide book." I have read most of Richard Ford, including "Rock Springs", which I... more info

| | 10. |  | The Granta Book of the American Short Story
from Grove Press, Granta
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
The short stories are wonderfully written, and, because they are from the last fifty years, no archaic words or phrases get in the way of good story-telling. As most of these stories aren't included in the "typical" anthology (though many of the authors are), the reading experience is like spring... more info
