1.		The Broken Estate: Essays on Literature and Belief (Modern Library Paperbacks) from Modern Library Price: $17.10 Customer Review: not what i was hoping for in a work of fiction criticism. 'meaty' reading and hard going, but i am persistant. very fine prose composition & worth the effort.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Netherland: A Novel from Pantheon Price: $16.29 Customer Review: A significant work about an emotionally bleak post-9/11 that is at once invigorating and reflective. The great tragedy of that day is a shadow that falls over the characters and the events, but it wisely never takes over the novel. This is a reasonably suspenseful, well-paced book,even with some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Indignation from Houghton Mifflin Price: $15.61 Customer Review: I LOVE Philip Roth, but this is hardly the great book that some people on here have made it out to be. The characters in this book are extremely weakly drawn, especially the father who is supposed to have a crucial role in the plot, but who lacks nuance completely. The love interest, Oliva, seems... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Home: A Novel from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $16.50 Customer Review: I was very disappointed in Home. Very slow and almost boring. I read the reviews prior to purchasing this book and most were favorable. Sorry, but I did not think so. I did finish it but it felt like a struggle!	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Irresponsible Self: On Laughter and the Novel from Picador Price: $10.88 Customer Review: "Comedy, like death and sex, is often awarded the prize of ineffability." So says James Wood, perhaps the finest living critic of literature. Just as he has prefaced, the art of comedy is often impossible to describe, and Wood falls victim to this perpetual difficulty. This collection of essays does... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62) from Ecco Price: $14.27 Customer Review: The first review allows this "debut author" "gutsy" for the Hamlet parody--I'd say he's gutsy for trying to sell his "debut" on Kindle for $2 more than everything else. No thanks. (ps--I didn't read this, and won't because of the Kindle price--but I had to mark the rating to make a... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		2666: A Novel from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $18.00 Customer Review: Bolaño has managed to destroy the novel as people have done in the past. Critics have compared him to Joyce, Kafka,and Cortazar but he is an entirely different beast. Bolaño manages to conquer and dissipate the novel viscerally, through silence, allegory, dreams, and horror, rather... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Nothing to Be Frightened Of from Knopf Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Barnes is bright, entertaining, reflective, and knowledgable and all those positives come together in this discursive treatise on death and many other not totally aligned subjects. I enjoyed my time with him but I kept expecting just a little bit more insight into the main subject: death or rather... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals from Doubleday Price: $18.15 Customer Review: One of the best books on the thinking of the Bush Administration, and their misguided journey into torture and imprisonment. Ms. Mayer does a wonderful job of documenting the twists and turns of the decision making process, and capturing the damage done not only to the victims and the aggressors,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The White Tiger: A Novel (Man Booker Prize) from Free Press Price: $8.40 Customer Review: It's a good book. I don't know whether all the hype is justified though. I like how it's structured as a series of letters to the Chinese Premier. It's a novel way to write a... novel. The main character is an interesting guy/sociopath with a penchant for learning from his "masters" and he learns... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
