1.NakedNaked
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
A few years ago someone rather famous said that it is the duty of art to reflect society. That, for better or for worse, it is the duty of the artist (painter, writer, poet, etc) to portray in their art the condition of their society. More on this later.
Naked. In reading Naked I found a... more info

3.A Clockwork Orange (Norton Paperback Fiction)A Clockwork Orange (Norton Paperback Fiction)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
I can see how people would find this book to be neat. It's defintely unique. I didn't enjoy it, though. I am a reader who likes to get swept onto the page and become the protagonist's shadow, and with this book's inventive language I found that impossible. I could never get into a flow because too... more info

4.This Boy s Life: A MemoirThis Boy's Life: A Memoir
from Grove Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
The memoir is intriguing. Any male who reads this can, at some point, relate to the follies, plunders, and disappointments Wolff encounters during his adolescence. It is explicit and candid making for an interesting read.

5.The Tao of PoohThe Tao of Pooh
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Apparently, Taoism is about lazy, bitter Westerners superficially embracing Eastern mysticism in order to boost their own egos - and then cashing in on a beloved childhood icon to make a quick buck.
Hoff does a reasonable job of using actual quotations from Pooh to illustrate various simple... more info

6.True Norwegian Black MetalTrue Norwegian Black Metal
from Vice Books
Price: $37.80

Customer Review:
When this came in the mail I was initially mainly impressed with how big it is. It's a coffeetable book because it won't fit on the f###ing bookshelf. Anyone visiting me is doomed to have to stare at the large photo of Nattefrost covered in blood on the cover because it's always sitting out. At... more info

from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
A River Runs Through It is a wonderful story of life in Montana, well, really life in general. In addition to a great story, this book contains some of the best uses of the English language in the 20th century. Highly recommended.

from Research & Education Association
Price: $3.95

Customer Review:
I love this book, it was a great read.
However, there are simply too many mistakes, misspellings, etc in this version. This is the very worst edition of any book I have ever read. I started highlighting the mistakes on my kindle, but there were just too many and I gave up.
Add to that that... more info

9.The Outlandish CompanionThe Outlandish Companion
from Delacorte Press
Price: $19.14

Customer Review:
Outstanding addition for those who have enjoyed the series. Many details are clarified and explanations for why are given. A must for those who have read the books as they were published and forget the minor subplots over time.

10.Poolside with Slim AaronsPoolside with Slim Aarons
from Abrams Books
Price: $47.25

Customer Review:
I waited for this book and it finally went on sale, but what a disappointment it was. It is just big pictures. I thought there would be more of a story with each picture, but nothing. Don't waste your money.
