1.Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Signet Classics)Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (Signet Classics)
from Signet Classics
Price: $1.03

Customer Review:
The classic "Flatland" covers many topics in surprisingly few pages. In fact, it's hard to say what the main point of the book is, if indeed there is just one. Mathematicians use the book to explain and explore the concepts of dimensionality from the perspective of a two-dimensional being; once we... more info

4.[no image]Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders
from McGraw-Hill Companies

Customer Review:
Moll Flanders is one of the few 'classic' books I have read in which a MALE author parallels the thought of a woman as the narrator. Moll Flanders is the ultimate tribute to a woman out to make a name for herself in a world of poverty, protitution, and love, who eventually learns more about her own... more info

5.The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (Oxford World s Classics)The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $7.06

Customer Review:
"The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" is a terrific novel; yet it is very demanding upon the reader. Before you begin to read this book you must first have read Don Quixote, and more importantly Henry Fielding's Tom Jones. No one should really even attempt to read Shandy if you have... more info

8.[no image]Robinson Crusoe
from Airmont Pub Co
Price: $2.25

Customer Review:
The name "Robinson Crusoe" readily conjures up images of a sad castaway on a desert island, who after years of solitude comes up a man's footprint in the sand. But in reading Daniel Defoe's novel of 1719, I was surprised how different the work is from its common stereotype. Not until about 50 pages... more info

9.The Life of Samuel Johnson (Penguin Classics)The Life of Samuel Johnson (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $12.84

Customer Review:
James Boswell--to use a contemporary idiom-- had a mancrush on Samuel Johnson. He wrote this lengthy portrait of his hero--and it's magnificent. This is a vastly entertaining read. Full of fascinating, insightful, provocative, fun, sometimes gossipy detail, Boswell's Life of Johnson is a real treat.... more info

from Crossway Books
Price: $8.74

Customer Review:
I found this book profound and very helpful. It is very encouraging to read about the lives of people who didn't experience the happy ending type of spirituality so popular today. John Bunyan imprisoned, William Cowper suicidal, David Brainerd ill and dying so young. John Piper doesn't spare us the... more info
