1.		Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: "For any writer, the ability to look at a sentence and see what's superflous, what can be altered, revised, expanded or especially cut is essential." Good books help your writing. This book is stuffed full of terrific snippets from great books, Francine Prose teaches an entire course on writing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Goldengrove: A Novel from Harper Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Thirteen-year-old Nico admires her older sister, Margaret. Margaret is beautiful, mysterious, and charming. She has a biting wit and atypical sense of humor. Margaret likes old movies, finding the irony in love songs, and can see through the banality of everyday things. She has a boyfriend, Aaron,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Blue Angel: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: "Blue Angel" is a story about Ted Swenson, a middle-aged creative writing professor at a small New England college. Unable to make much progress with his own novel, Swenson becomes captivated by the writing of one of his students, the punk, tattooed, excessively pierced Angela Argo. At first Swenson... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Italy: The Best Travel Writing from the New York Times from Harry N. Abrams Price: $31.50 Customer Review: THis book arrived in the condition specified in the advert. I would order from this source again.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		A High Wind in Jamaica (New York Review Books Classics) from NYRB Classics Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Another Eng comp reading assignment - but easily liked and read. Following all of the children - but especially the god-monster child, Emily - makes this book so strong and hard to put down. I was in between stories at time - I definitely picked up 'Wizard of Oz' - 'Peter Pan' - moments. Having read... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Cousin Bette (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Balzac is often cited as the father of realism and I would have to agree, though I think Flaubert and Tolstoy took the form to new heights. This immensely rich novel begins with a devastating scene of psychological rape; M. Crevel has entered the home of the Baron Hulot and he has ransomed his wife... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Lives of the Muses: Nine Women & the Artists They Inspired from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Prose's writing here is, as always, enjoyable, but despite all the awards this book has garnered, for the most part it just seems to go round and round, pretty much telling the same story 9 times: the tale of a woman who serves as inspiration to a self-centered male artistic genius of one sort or... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		After from HarperTeen Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Before I praise After, I will admit that I did have two issues with the book. The first was that you never learn exactly WHAT happens at Camp Turn-a-round, which is where they send the "bad" kids that won't conform. I mean there are some clues, but I would have liked it if we had been able to see... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The O. Henry Prize Stories 2006: The Best Stories of the Year from Anchor Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: As in her two previous volumes (2003, 2005 - there was no O. Henry Prize volume dated 2004, forever throwing a kink into the collection on my bookshelf), series editor Laura Furman has gravitated toward subject matter that can only be described as dark and depressing. Yet the stories are so well... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Bullyville from HarperTeen Price: $6.99 Customer Review: When Bart Rangely's absentee father is caught in the North Tower and killed on September 11th, he thinks that life can't get much worse. Unfortunately, he thinks too soon. Because of the public nature of his tragedy, Bart is offered a scholarship to the exclusive Baileywell Academy, an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		A Changed Man: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $11.96 Customer Review: So much said already - but in the end: It's a great book (at least in the audio-edition), one that continues to resonate after it's finished (snippets of dialogue or inner monologue coming back to mind, the perspective that's sharp but compassionate at the same time, hope for and questions about the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Women Who Write from Merrell Price: $16.47 Customer Review: At first glance, Women Who Write appears to be a gorgeous coffee table book full of beautiful photos, drawings and images of women writers. However, if you begin with the compelling, thought-provoking foreward by Francine Prose, and work your way through the book in the chronological order in which... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Gluttony: The Seven Deadly Sins from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $11.24 Customer Review: This book is really cute and little, but deals with a serious and deadly subject: gluttony and obesity. Really fascinating insights and it is so easy and fast to read. I digested every page and didn't gain a single pound - Amazing! Great read!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		A Scrap of Time and Other Stories (Jewish Lives) from Northwestern University Press Price: $14.40 Customer Review: Though the concentration camps are never mentioned, these 23 short stories are a haunting collection about life in Poland at the time of the Holocaust. The theme of the anthology is on the excruciating agony of life in a broken world. These are stories of resistance, submission, betrayal, hope,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.	[no image]	Hell Hath No Fury: Women's Letters from the End of the Affair from Carroll & Graf Customer Review: Hell Hath No Fury is a collection of letters written by women and the end of a relationship. The letters are grouped by themes starting with the fantastically gritty "tell-off" letter, some of these got very nasty. Two categories I thought stood out were the autopsy letter (the letter where we... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		New Grub Street (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $12.48 Customer Review: Poor Gissing! I suspect his miserable, self-destructive life fuelled his wonderful novels much as (we now know) Dickens's traumatic "blacking-factory" experience explains so much of the nightmare world of those gargantuan fictions. Gissing greatly admired Dickens, and like Dostoyevsky, seems to have... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		A House and Its Head (New York Review Books Classics) from NYRB Classics Price: $11.21 Customer Review: I'm beginning to become addicted to these little neglected treasures that the NYRB Press is reissuing. Not only are the editions themselves little marvels (with beautiful and well-chosen color covers and gorgeous paper stock), but whoever is making the choices for which books are reissued has... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Fools of Fortune (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $11.70 Customer Review: It's hard to add to what the other reviewers have already said. A breathtaking achievement, with not a single false note in the entire book (although there were a couple of typos--the editors' fault, not Trevor's). I plan to read everything this man has ever written.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Household Saints: A Novel from Harper Perennial Price: $12.55 Customer Review: After reading Francine Prose's highly entertaining and well written novel, "Blue Angel," I felt compelled to order a number of her other novels which I've decided to read by order of publication. "Household Saints," (published in 1981) did not disapoint. Although the first and second half of the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The Journey from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $21.00 Customer Review: The Journey (1992), written by Ida Fink, is a historical novel depicting two Jewish sisters attempting to escape from Poland into Germany to avoid Nazi persecution during the 1940's. Translated from Yiddish by Joanna Weschler and Francine Prose, the story conveys the truth about the Holocaust... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
