1.		Fierce Pajamas: An Anthology of Humor Writing from The New Yorker (Modern Library Paperbacks) from Modern Library Price: $12.24 Customer Review: I was expecting this collection to be as funny and engaging as Nobody's Perfect. While the collection does have some highlights, notably Woody Allen and Steve Martin, a good bit of the book is more enjoyable as a historical observation on highbrow humor throughout the great magazine's long run. One... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Wonderful Town: New York Stories from The New Yorker (Modern Library Paperbacks) from Random House Price: $13.60 Customer Review: I'm not a book critic, just a college student and had to read some stories from this book for class. As I said, I haven't ready everything in the world, and don't want to be seen ignorant. But I really didn't enjoy a lot of things here, thought I haven't read all the stories. Some where enjoyable... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Almost No Memory: Stories from Picador Price: $10.40 Customer Review: After having stumbled upon Lydia Davis three years ago, I read every one of her books, and fell quite in love with them. I proceed, as though I am reading a list. Every detail is a full bite. There are no flowers; it is not sentimental. Her prose is simple and clear. When I am finished, there is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Lost in the City from Amistad Price: $11.86 Customer Review: _Lost in the City_ (1992) - a collection of short stories - is Edward P. Jones' first book, followed by the Pulitzer Price winning novel The Known World (2003), and All Aunt Hagar's Children (2006), a second collection of short stories. Both Lost and Aunt Hagar are about blacks in Washington, DC... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Life Stories: Profiles from The New Yorker (Modern Library Paperbacks) from Modern Library Price: $11.56 Customer Review: I very much enjoy profiles of interesting people and had high hopes for this book, but it's awful. In fact, I gave up on about the fourth tape. I managed (with great difficulty) to get through part of the article on Richard Pryor but the vulgar language made me stop. Granted, that might... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Park City: New and Selected Stories from Vintage Price: $11.25 Customer Review: Reading Ann Beattie is an odd experience. She's not a good writer, but not a bad writer either. She's that most forgettable of all writers: barely competent, dull, and uninspired. She is perhaps the best living practitioner of the classic New Yorker formula tale about upper crust New Yorkers who... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		I Sailed with Magellan from Picador Price: $11.25 Customer Review: I suppose I would love this book even if I weren't a Chicagoan. The characters are so richly crafted, and the action poignant yet well paced. Perhaps the most heartbreaking story is "Blue Boy," with its message in the final paragraph so lushly written I took a sharp intake of breath before reading... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink from Random House Price: $19.80 Customer Review: As a foodie, New Yorker fan, and lover of good writing (I'm a professional journalist/writer), this turned out to be one of my favorite books of ALL TIME. This book represented so many different eras in food and culture. A masterful collection of the best food essays and articles ever written.

9.		Christmas at The New Yorker: Stories, Poems, Humor, and Art from Modern Library Price: $11.56 Customer Review: With all the hoopla that comes with the Christmas shopping season, everybody needs a short respite. What better way to do it than to pick up a book, or better yet, give a book that reflects the holiday season? The New Yorker partners with Random House with CHRISTMAS AT THE NEW YORKER: STORIES,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Fun of It: Stories from The Talk of the Town (Modern Library Paperbacks) from Modern Library Price: $27.00 Customer Review: Or maybe airplane reading. For those not familiar with The Talk of the Town feature in the New Yorker, it is a short, 1000 word-or-so essay on some feature of the current NY scene. The writing is often clever(rarely, too clever eg Garrison Keillor, but this could be predicted) and many great writers... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
