| | 1. |  | Middle Passage
from Scribner
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Anachronisms, one after the other. Just in the first fifteen pages: Isabella chooses not to travel by railroad to New Orleans, which is a good thing, since there weren't any in the 1820s. Rutherford refers to "Piltdown Man", who wasn't dug up until 1912. "Credit to the race" is a twentieth century... more info

| | 8. |  | Juneteenth: A Novel
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:

| | 9. |  | Kingsblood Royal (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
This is the fifth book of Sinclair Lewis's that I have read. Like the previous two I completed; "Main Street" and "Elmer Gantry", "Kingsblood Royal" seems dated but still conveys a very timeless message. This novel is about a man of prominance in a Northern Minnesota city (I figured it to be a... more info

I picked up a paperback copy and just fell into the story. After that, each new Gardner was purchased in hardcover, which I could ill afford... more info
