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

Customer Review:
I always buy the audiobook versions of David Sedaris' books because he reads them himself, and listening to him read, with his dry wit and elfin voice, sometimes innocent and sometimes sly, is half the fun. When You Are Engulfed in Flames is in turn amusing, laugh-out-loud funny, and, occasionally,... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks

Customer Review:
What a wonderful, heart-warming and inspiring book. The letters were funny, inspirational, touching and sometimes brought me to tears - but in a good way.

from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
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! Only be sure to read it in private, because if you're like me you might find yourself laughing out loud on public transportation, which can be... more info

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:
This book is overall pretty good. However, some of the articles (especially the older ones) are pretentious and not all that great. There are a wide variety of writing styles, and I feel that most readers will be happier if they just skip some of the articles.

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!

from Threshold Editions
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
Reading Glenn's book reinforces how screwed up our country and it's government are. America better wake up before we are overthrown by our "liberals" and criminals.

7.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

8.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

9.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

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I first read this book in High School. I was impressed but 8 years later re-read the book to my younger sister for a class she was taking. She wasn't getting much from the book. But as I read it to her, I realized how supreme this book is among American Lit.
Dillard's book is the result of... more info
