1.Night (Oprah s Book Club)Night (Oprah's Book Club)
from Hill and Wang
Price: $9.00

Customer Review:
If you haven't read this book then you must read it. I have nothing else to say about it than that. The feelings and emotions this book stirred within me are too great to put into words. At the end of the book there is a speech given by Elie Wiesel and there were two phrases that jumped out at me... more info

3.The ChosenThe Chosen
from Fawcett
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
I really liked the historical aspect of the book. Though a work of fiction, it helped me to understand many ideas among the Jewish followers. A little too slow at times for my tastes (particularly the Talmud discussions). A certain amount was necessary to comprehend the background and situation but... more info

5.When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of AfricaWhen a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
This book moved me on so many levels. I could not put it down. Godwin's aging parents, his heartbreak about the decline of Zimbabwe, his anguish about living so far away, the fascinating past of his father... it is all so beautifully described. But it is what is not said that will take your breath... more info

6.The Queen s Fool: A NovelThe Queen's Fool: A Novel
from Touchstone
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I enjoyed the book. Philippa Gregory created a believeable character in Hannah, the Queen's fool, as she went from a girl disguised as a boy to a lovely young woman, This was historical fiction at its best. My favorite is still "the Other Boleyn Girl", but this was a close second.

7.Maus I: A Survivor s Tale: My Father Bleeds HistoryMaus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History
from Pantheon
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually. I can remember several holocaust-era semi-biographic novels which are great but those are the exceptions. Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true.
Maus just captured me.I... more info

from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:
I really enjoyed this book and the photos; I learned a lot. (It should be required reading.) It's well-researched, with notes, a bibliography, and an index. Not only did it flesh out the history, the characters were interesting--the people and the animals. (I loved the badger and the carnivorous... more info

from Schocken
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I've used Wiesenthal's The Sunflower as a text in college courses several times. On each occasion my original high estimation of Wiesenthal's narrative grows, while my dissatisfaction with the chorus of responses that takes up nearly two-thirds of the latest edition deepens.
Wiesenthal asks... more info
