1.		The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I recommend this book to anyone that want an inside look at the start of the hippie revolution.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.	[no image]	The Bonfire of the Vanities from Random House Audio Customer Review: I picked this book up on the recommendation of strangers who said that it was one of those must read American novels. I'm always leery of these recommendations as they Ayn Rand usually appears on them and as a someone once told me "Friends don't let friends read Ayn Rand". This was a surprisingly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		I Am Charlotte Simmons: A Novel from Picador Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Great book, fast and easy..... worth discussing with your pre-teen and teenage children	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Right Stuff from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Customer Review: Having seen the movie before reading the book, I expected Wolfe's THE RIGHT STUFF to be good. I was surprised how good it turned out to be in capturing the mood of the America in the late 50s and early 60s. Character, admittedly topped off with a little self-promotion in zorder to rise up the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Look Homeward Angel from Scribner's Customer Review: ... to a book of one's youth. I first read Look Homeward, Angel some 40 years ago, and like a few other reviewers, decided it merited a re-read. In the intervening years I carried the memory of a wonderful book that dazzled in its descriptive passages. In particular, I always remembered that he was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		New York Stories: Landmark Writing from Four Decades of New York Magazine from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $11.56	Click here for more information


7.		A Man in Full from Dial Press Trade Paperback Price: $11.56 Customer Review: I've read this book many times - it's a masterpiece in every sense of the word, like all of Wolfe's other novels. No other writer that I can think of makes his characters come to life the way Wolfe does! I feel like I KNOW the men he's talking about. Like David Mamet, Wolfe's writing always puts... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Painted Word from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Customer Review: This is an unpersuasive essay about the failure of modern art and about how we are all caught up in the falsity and ugliness of modern art. In my opinion, I think Wolfe is writing without much knowledge of modern art. He sounds like an uneducated critic in this book.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Tom Wolfe Carves Wood Spirits and Walking Sticks (Schiffer Book for Woodcarvers) from Schiffer Publishing Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Loved the beauty in this full color, highly instructive book. I bought 4 books to get me into carving the wood spirits of my German ancestors, and this was the most instructive by far. I feel I can really make a carving on my own now.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers from Bantam Price: $11.20 Customer Review: These are disorganized and scattered essays. The first essay is about wealthy New Yorkers who support controversial causes as the stylish thing to do. The second is about the structure of the poverty program and how it encourages violence. I wasn't convinced by either essay, and I didn't enjoy the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk from Palgrave Macmillan Price: $10.17 Customer Review: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Several people in my family, including me, have college degrees. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2005 from an average state university. In addition, I was awarded an associate's degree in 2002 from a school that everyone says is the easiest junior college. Also, my... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		From Bauhaus to Our House from Bantam Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Tom Wolfe is the greatest!!!! This is a hilarious inside view into the world of architecture.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Hooking Up from Picador Price: $11.20 Customer Review: The title implies that this is a book centered on the standard practice for college-age coupling these days--hooking up--and the first essay does focus on this bizarre state of affairs. From there, however, Wolfe expands his survey to an all-encompassing assessment of life at the dawn of the 21st... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby from Bantam Price: $11.56 Customer Review: If you have an interest about our "car culture" and want to know where it sprouted from, this is your book. Maybr Wolfe's best book, right up there with the "Kool Aid Acid Test". Remebering, laughing and learning, all at the same time is pretty cool.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The New Journalism (Picador Books) from Pan Customer Review: This is a wide slice of the mid-century New Journalism epoch. It features charged work from every major player (including Terry Southern and others curiously ignored in Weingarten's overview). The predictions in Wolfe's manifesto haven't panned out as pervasively as he expected - if anything,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Remembering Jack: Intimate and Unseen Photographs of the Kennedys from Bulfinch Customer Review: This book has been one of the best I have come across about John F. Kennedy and his extended family... I absolutely adore it! Jacques Lowe was a very gifted photographer, and I find it is quite sad that many of his negatives were destroyed during the September 11th attacks. I found the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

18.		In Advance of the Landing: Folk Concepts of Outer Space from Abbeville Press Price: $24.85 Customer Review: This is a gem of a book for anyone even remotely interested in American UFOlogy. It gives a nice cross-section, from the more sinister cult-type movements to earnest characters with their own home made mini-SETIs. Its a coffee-table book and the text, whilst complementing the photos, also serves as... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Carving Santas for Today With Tom Wolfe from Schiffer Publishing Price: $10.19 Customer Review: I have never been dissapointed with any of Tom Wolfes books. They always have great ideas and information.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The Pump House Gang from Bantam Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Noted author Wolfe wrote this series of short stories in the mid 60s which describe a changing America, leaving the European framework of class structure and elegance for something different. Something that would evolve in our country even to today where people cared less about systems of status. It... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
