1.The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World (Vintage)The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World (Vintage)
from Vintage
Price: $8.97

Customer Review:
I had quite a few problems with this book. Let me start by saying that he obviously knows how to put words together. However the first part of the book about the anthropological aspects of the gift culture is not anything new, as he takes excerpts from various works in the field and strings them... more info

2.To Kill a MockingbirdTo Kill a Mockingbird
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
It is perhaps appropriate that this was the first book I read after the election of America's first black President. My real reason for re-reading it, however, was for the purposes of comparison with Faulkner's "Intruder in the Dust", which deals with a similar theme. Indeed, I recently came across... more info

from Barnes & Noble
Price: $4.95

Customer Review:
I can't tell if this is about the guy who screwed George Washington out of a job or that guy who doesn't like to drink Merlot.

4.The Great Gatsby: The Authorized Text (A Scribner Classic)The Great Gatsby: The Authorized Text (A Scribner Classic)
from Scribner Paper Fiction

Customer Review:
The Margin
I have to say Gatsby, by Fitzgerald was another classic disappointment. Like Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, both drew world-wide acclaim, but for me neither went anywhere. That is to say there was an absence of substance. Another tale by a sad author about pathetic rich folk in the... more info

5.Fahrenheit 451Fahrenheit 451
from Del Rey
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
Our book club recently decided to make every other book choice a "classic" book which, for one reason or another, none of us has read. Fahrenheit 451 was this month's choice. After plowing through Bradbury's self-aggrandizing Foreward AND Introduction, I was ready to be enthralled. No such luck.... more info

6.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Cliffs Complete)The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Cliffs Complete)
from Cliffs Notes
Price: $8.79

Customer Review:
I can't say more on the plot because it's quite obvious what the plot is just from illustrations of the novel. But on the "controversial" aspect of the novel involving the excessive use of the N word, people have to think of the time period that Twain is writing about and when the novel was... more info

7.This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and WomenThis I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $15.64

Customer Review:
If you are a deep material reader then you may really enjoy Rumi & Self Psychology (Psychology of Tranquility) and also another book
Sara's Therapy: A Way to Purity. These books are unique, easy to read, full of information, and just amazing; and you can not put them down.

8.[no image]For Whom the Bell Tolls
from Scribner Paper Fiction

Customer Review:
Filled with complex and interesting characters and written in Hemingway's characteristically simple, but effective style, For Whom the Bell Tolls is Hemingway at his best. There are few novels I would recommend more highly.
Hemingway's fascinating characters, from the American, Robert Jordan,... more info

9.The Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: A Book of Quotations (Thrift Edition)The Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: A Book of Quotations (Thrift Edition)
from Dover Publications
Price: $2.00

Customer Review:
As a US History teacher, this small and inexpensive book brings personality and life to one of our most beloved Presidents. An excellent value and one that is more likely to be read and enjoyed than larger, more in depth works. Middle School kids get a kick out of the quotes.

10.Their Eyes Were Watching GodTheir Eyes Were Watching God
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
The only speedbump in this maddeningly addictive read is Hurston's rendering of dialect, spelled just as it's pronounced. Once you acclimate, and once you know that her writing was based on her astounding academic work as a folklorist and anthropologist, it only takes a few pages before you realize... more info
