1.Walden: (Writings of Henry D. Thoreau)Walden: (Writings of Henry D. Thoreau)
from Princeton University Press
Price: $8.76

Customer Review:
I've kept Thoreau at arm's length over the years. I sensed his brilliance yet secretly accused him of purposely unconnecting from the world. I was recently lead to him while looking for some essays on gardening. The first subject he covers in Walden is ecomomy. Economy rates low on my reading list.... more info

Glen Williamson (Google him) has been performing two of these stories for years as a one-man play: "Who Am I This Time?" and "The Kid Nobody Could Handle."
"Cheers and congratulations again! Your performance Tuesday evening was truly extraordinary. I feel so fortunate to have been there. I... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Cheapest price I could find and I looked through several sites. The book is in great condition. It took took a long time to get to me. Longer than most other books I ordered at the same time.

4.The Best American Short Stories of the Century (The Best American Series (TM))The Best American Short Stories of the Century (The Best American Series (TM))
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $22.40

Customer Review:
I selected this audio book because I liked the idea of listening to a selection of well read stories and I thought the variety of stories looked interesting. The stories themselves are fine, but the audio book is marred by a selection of readers who lack expression and whose voice qualities are not... more info

5.The Complete StoriesThe Complete Stories
from Schocken
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
If this is the "COMPLETE" version of his stories why don't I see The Trial and The Castle listed? Seems "complete", as in "free", has a whole new definition these days. Buyer take note!

6.Rabbit, RunRabbit, Run
from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This novel brought tears to my eyes....of boredom and disgust !
I can't believe that they have been touting this book as one of the greatest of American literature. It is about a twenty-something guy who is married with a son. He used to be a star basketball player and now, caught in a... more info

7.The Twelve Terrors of ChristmasThe Twelve Terrors of Christmas
from Pomegranate Communications
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:
The Twelve Terrors is as demented as I'd hoped for. John Updike's prose gives Christmas the kick in the teeth it secretly wants, and Edward Gorey's illustrations are just the right wrapping paper for the beating.
I'm only disappointed that Updike isn't as good a vehicle for Gorey's... more info

8.The Witches of EastwickThe Witches of Eastwick
from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Like most people, my first exposure to "Witches" was the movie. I agree with other reviewers that the book is nothing like the film - it's much darker and more ambiguous. I picked it up at a flea market for light bathtub reading but ended up not being able to put it down.
I liked that the world... more info

9.Rabbit Angstrom : The Four Novels : Rabbit, Run, Rabbit Redux, Rabbit Is Rich, Rabbit at Rest (Everyman s Library)Rabbit Angstrom : The Four Novels : Rabbit, Run, Rabbit Redux, Rabbit Is Rich, Rabbit at Rest (Everyman's Library)
from Everyman's Library
Price: $21.12

Customer Review:
It's great to have the four Rabbit novels as a collection in one book. HOWEVER, the type in this collection is lighter than normal, making it difficult to read and the weight of the printed pages is very flimsy. Had I to do it over again, I would buy the four Rabbit novels individually from used... more info

10.Winesburg, Ohio (Modern Library Classics)Winesburg, Ohio (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $8.95

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
