| | 4. |  | Vanity Fair (Barnes & Noble Classics)
from Barnes & Noble Classics
Price: $3.00
Customer Review:
I assumed this book was some tedious classic, and had never felt any pull to read it. Its immense size and the century of its creation were daunting-- too long, too many words, too long ago.

Thank goodness I read... more info

| | 9. |  | Memoirs of Barry Lyndon
from Futura Publications
Price: $316.49
