 | The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino
Buy new: $9.36 / Used from: $1.45 I could not put this book down. The ending is perfect and satisfying. Maybe the best thing I read this summer.
|
 | Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Buy new: $9.10 / Used from: $0.01 This book is often spoken of in the same breath as "Ulysses." While it is a fine example of stream-of-consciousness writing, I found it an easy read--but still very good.

 | The Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts
Buy used from: $0.01 The novel itself isn't that great, but the story of how Gates found it and proved its authenticity is fascinating.
|
 | Blood and Guts in High School: A Novel (Acker, Kathy) by Kathy Acker
Buy new: $10.14 / Used from: $3.21 Best Kathy Acker book I've read so far. Pornographic and profound.
|
 | The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $0.69 I find it repulsive that there is already a "Cliffs Notes" available for this. This is a book that one must READ, not read about!
|
 | HERmione by Hilda Doolittle
Buy new: $17.95 / Used from: $0.13 A great psychological autobiography. I liked the young Ezra Pound.
|
 | Despair by Vladimir Nabokov
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $4.99 Is Hermann Hermann a madman or just an idiot? You decide.
|
 | On with the Story: Stories by John Barth
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $0.01 A kind of sequel to "Lost in the Funhouse," but a much more mature work.

Listmania!
