1.The Bone Garden: A NovelThe Bone Garden: A Novel
from Ballantine Books
Price: $17.13

Customer Review:
This is the first book by Tess Gerritsen that I've read, and I will certainly read more! I found this book very entertaining, although the ending was a bit disappointing. If you like suspense, romance, and history, this is a book you should read.

2.The Dante Club: A NovelThe Dante Club: A Novel
from Ballantine Books
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
This is the author's first novel and it shows. He's a little too impressed with himself and that shows too, making it hard to take the narrative seriously at times. The murders were horrifyingly disgusting which is good or bad depending on your tastes (I liked it). This is a hard book to get into... more info

3.The Common LawThe Common Law
from Dover Publications
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Holmes is intelligent and thoughtful, but lots of his thoughts are in Latin. Since many readers, including myself, did not benefit from a Catholic or a Classical education, I confess I cannot read it. It is very frustrating to someone who spends a lot of time on footnotes when these require... more info

4.The Essential Holmes: Selections from the Letters, Speeches, Judicial Opinions, and Other Writings of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.The Essential Holmes: Selections from the Letters, Speeches, Judicial Opinions, and Other Writings of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
This is a fantastic and accessible tour through the work of one of the greatest prose stylists of the 20th century--within the law or outside it. Holmes's style is clear-eyed without being cynical, concrete without being simplistic, and erudite without being pedantic. Just when a thought threatens... more info

5.Why Societies Need Dissent (Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures)Why Societies Need Dissent (Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures)
from Harvard University Press
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
If all we needed was dissent, then we could dissent all day! The problem is that we need something: 1) the right answer, and 2) with a limited amount of information to make the decision we want it 3) quickly and cheaply. Without knowing that the author begins with that background, the title of the... more info

6.The Metaphysical Club : A Story of Ideas in AmericaThe Metaphysical Club : A Story of Ideas in America
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Customer Review:
While the title of this book might grab your attention, it is it's subtitle, "a history of ideas in America," that really embodies the subject of the book. Louis Menand's "The Metaphysical Club" is a well researched and thoroughly engrossing history of America's vangard of intellectual activity from... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $25.55

Customer Review:
Who better to write a short biography of Justice Holmes than the author of the virtually definitive major biography of the Justice, "Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: Law and the Inner Self." This short biography is part of Oxford's "Lives and Legacies" series. I had some concern that the book would... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $45.00

Customer Review:
Two apsects strike me in reading about Holmes. First is his life. What a great subject. Holmes is almost as exciting to read about as Lincoln. The second is his jurisprudence. White does a fine job covering both. I like White's style. Somewhat loose but never inaccurate, his biography is very... more info

10.[no image]The Justice from Beacon Hill: The Life and Times of Oliver Wendell Holmes
from Harpercollins

Customer Review:
A magnificent study of egotism at its fullest. It is easy to understand why Holmes reached the status that he did, because he spent his life in an effort to maintain the social status that he thought was his. He may have been an intellectual, but it seems he directed his efforts at establishing and... more info
