| | 1. |  | Cost: A Novel
from Picador
Price: $8.46
Customer Review:
"Cost" tells the story of a New England family in various states of decay, and how they cope with the devastation of heroin addiction. It would be easy to dismiss the characters as a collection of privileged whiners if they didn't have at least some redeeming qualities. As comedian Richard Pryor... more info

| | 3. |  | Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life
from UPNE
Price: $17.05
Customer Review:
This is a very comprehensive biography of Georgia O'Keefe. It is difficult however to keep track of the names, places, dates, etc., because of all the information that is contained in the book. It might have been better if the author had broken this biography into different periods of the artist's... more info

A typical collection of short stories often has a few duds thrown in with the gems; not so the case with this lovely collection of beautifully written, poignant glimpses into life.

| | 7. |  | This is My Daughter: A Novel
from Touchstone
Price: $3.29
Customer Review:
It's really necessary to read this book more than once. The author has created great depth of character, and every personality is well-developed. It's true that the characters are not "nice" or particularly likable, but they are endlessly interesting and realistic. I can't believe this whole story... more info

| | 8. |  | A Glimpse of Scarlet: And Other Stories
from Perennial
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
How could they allow this book to go out of print? I found the stories paint the world my family lives in accurately. Ms. Robinson shows keen observation of the WASP world, with all its hangups and repression, and yet her characters are sympathetic to various degrees. Try the wonderful story,... more info
