| | 2. |  | The Man Who Was Thursday
from Waking Lion Press
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
Chesterton once described this early work as a bit of moonshine, but a lot of readers clearly think it is more than that.

| | 3. |  | Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bible!
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $8.25
Customer Review:
I had incredibly high hopes after reading this book's hysterically funny preface. Unfortunately, the rest of the book did not come close to the preface in either its wit or its descriptive power.

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $4.48
Customer Review:
You Only Live Twice is possibly Fleming's best Bond novel, if only because it's so radically different from its predecessors.

Chimamanda is a very accessible writer. She presents a beautiful collection of tales, with African women, especially Igbo women, at the centre of the tales.
Her style is free-flowing, highly redolent of one who has mastered the art of story telling.Her diction is not too facile or... more info
