1.Lady Chatterley s Lover (Modern Library Classics)Lady Chatterley's Lover (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $10.16

Customer Review:
"Lady Chatterly's Lover" is one of the most (brutally) honest portrayals of love and intimacy in 20th century literature. Turning away from the flowery and the poetic sentiments of many other writers, Lawrence completely de-romanticizes romance and shows it as something visceral and almost beastial.... more info

2.The KissThe Kiss
from Harper Perennial
Price: $8.80

Customer Review:
I picked up THE KISS this past weekend and re-read this beautifully haunting memoir about family and loss. There are so few writers who approach their subject matter in so painfully honest a way: Harrison's prose is spare and pointed, always insightful and charged with raw emotion as she plunges us... more info

3.The Scarlet Letter (Modern Library Classics)The Scarlet Letter (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
A one sentence summary of this book would go like this: set in Puritan Boston, Massachusetts during the 17th century, The Scarlet Letter is about a woman named Hester Prynne, who is condemned to wear the letter "A" for the rest of her life after committing the sin of adultery. Now, this may not... more info

4.PoisonPoison
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.01

Customer Review:
Well first off, historical novels are my absolute favorite (mostly all i read anymore) so i was interested in this book, as it related to the Spanish Inquisition which I knew little about outside of Monty Python bits lol. I did love the actual writing/wording of this novel and the descriptiveness... more info

5.The Binding Chair: or, A Visit from the Foot Emancipation SocietyThe Binding Chair: or, A Visit from the Foot Emancipation Society
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Without repeating the plot details that other reviewers have already discussed, I think the book is a great disppointment. It has fragments of a captivating and compelling plot (the story of the main character's story, footbinding, Chinese culture in the early days, and the intersection of Chinese... more info

7.Saint Therese of LisieuxSaint Therese of Lisieux
from Thorndike Press

Customer Review:
I read Saint Therese of Lisieux (A Penguin Lives book) this week. The style and subject are appropriate for the series, and I appreciate the author's presenting a story to a public that may not generally be interested in haggiography and knows little about St. Therese. However, the saint's brief... more info

9.[no image]Thicker Than Water
from Perennial

Customer Review:
Kathryn Harrison is one of my favorite writers, but of all her five books this is the worst. In substance it is nearly identical to "The Kiss", which is a superior piece of work.

10.Seeking Rapture: Scenes from a Woman s LifeSeeking Rapture: Scenes from a Woman's Life
from Random House

Customer Review:
Harrison's difficult childhood provides the framework for this collection of interwoven essays. Born to a mother who got pregnant right out of high school, Kathryn's life was colored by the harsh fact that her mother had little maternal instinct. Her parents divorced after a six-month marriage, and... more info
