| | 3. |  | The Guns of August
from Presidio Press
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I didn't even bother to finish this book because, although i tried to read it and fell asleep on pretty much every other page, the writing was convoluted and stuffy, the "action" (was there any?) was slow, and I just couldn't bring myself to care about anything this author had to say.

| | 5. |  | Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph
from Anchor
Price: $14.28
Customer Review:
Rightfully regarded as a modern classic, this book is nevertheless not light reading.

| | 10. |  | Storm of Steel (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
STORM OF STEEL offers WWI from a German soldier's point of view, but Erich Maria Remarque it ain't. All told, author Ernst Junger was shot multiple times, yet would live not only to write this book (and many others) but to celebrate his 103rd birthday (attended by an unusually patient Grim... more info
