1.When You Are Engulfed in FlamesWhen You Are Engulfed in Flames
from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $14.29

Customer Review:
It was a joy to read. An author like Sedaris doesn't come along very often. This was the first of Sedaris' books I've read. It had me belly laughing! I plan on reading his other book, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. It was #1 on the NYT bestseller list.
I bought When You Are Engulfed... more info

For anyone who has ever been to France, or anyone who has suffered the indignities of learning a foreign language, this is the humor book for you!

4.Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and DrinkSecret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink
from Random House
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
I gave this book as a gift to my husband. I was happy to find he loves it. He commented about how he enjoyed being able to skip around from one essay to another.

5.Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley AmisEveryday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:
This "everything you wanted to know about" style book on booze is a wonderful addition to anyone's bookcase. Everyday Drinking contains all of the information on alcohol that you could ever desire to know...and delivered through the side splitting rapier's wit of Kingsley Amis. A real treat!

6.Armageddon in RetrospectArmageddon in Retrospect
from Putnam Adult
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
A collection of stories and essays by one of my favorite authors. Most are based on his experiences as a POW in Dresden, and in the time right afterwards. Several seem like attempts to craft his experiences into a story of some sort, and as the stories are undated, you wonder if these were early... more info

7.Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss MemoirHalf-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir
from Seal Press
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
This is not just another diet book but a book about what really happened during those years of losing weight. I get frustrated with success stories that don't delve into the mind and emotions of the struggle to succeed. Or often times when they try to explain the journey after-the-fact it just comes... more info

8.The Four LovesThe Four Loves
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
C. S. Lewis is not only one of the 20th century's finest minds, he's also amazingly perceptive of human behavior. This well-written description explains so clearly the four kinds of love and with such accessible illustrations from real life. Most eye-opening for me was the chapter on "affection"... more info

This is an excellent book on many levels. The quality of the writing is a definite step above most books of this sort.
