| | 1. |  | The Road (Oprah's Book Club)
from Vintage Books
Price: $8.97
Customer Review:
Cormac McCarthy in the Writer's Alamanac for July 20, 2008 is quoted as saying, "There's no such thing as life without bloodshed. I think the notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion... more info

| | 2. |  | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
from Picador
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I listened to the abridged version of this, which made me miss some of the exposition that Chabon loves to engage in. Kavalier and Clay's lives and the juxtaposition of New York as a city in those lives was very well done. NYC was almost like a third main character. Chabon also did a good job of... more info

Customer Review:
this book is very educational, or at least it triggered in me the desire to research the topic of hermaphrodite....i've heard about the topic before, but with this book i actually research and educated myself on this birth defect....on the downside, i think that eugenides could have convey his... more info

from Citadel Press
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
While on vacation in Florida, I stopped by a B&N to look for something to read while on the flight home. I had already read all the magazines I like and didn't want anything too serious. I was checking out some books in the humor section and stumbled on this one. I am glad I did.
This is... more info

| | 5. |  | Empire Falls
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
As someone who grew up in a mill down in Maine that is in decline, I can attest to easily recognizing the fictitious town of Empire Falls, Maine. The novel tells the story of Miles Roby, the owner of the Empire Grill, as he discovers the truth about his past and struggles to break free of the... more info

| | 6. |  | American Pastoral
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This book gives me the sense that works by successful authors, once they're beyond a certain point in their career, just aren't edited before publication. American Pastoral reads as though Roth dictated it in one sitting. He frequently loses himself in unrestrained reveries and ends up repeating... more info

| | 7. |  | Long Day's Journey into Night
from Yale University Press
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
Eugene O'Neill's classic play, "Long Day's Journey into Night," is an autobiographical work that makes you feel immense pity for his family life. It's a great read, and wonderful to analyze! Just don't think that this will be a playful romp through the theater. O'Neill tackles a lot of heavy issues... more info

| | 8. |  | A Death in the Family
from Vintage
Price: $13.95
Customer Review:
Pulitizer Prize winner, A Death In The Family is a most serious intoxicating read, not about the death of an individual, but the experiences of those who live, love and the commitment to faith in religion.
It is a tightly worded, well-described novel that doesn't miss a beat. The minds of of... more info

Customer Review:
This is simply astonishing poetry;Hass is,without question,the finest poet writing today in the United States.His work is elegant,fearless and humane.Whole passages are touched by genius,especially when he writes-urgently - of the madness of war. No historian or statesman has ever placed the... more info

from Scribner
Price: $26.00
Customer Review:
"When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic... more info
