 | Kansas by Jennifer Knapp
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.75 This is Jennifer Knapp's best CD in many ways. It is optimistic, but real.
|
 | Mere Christianity/The Screwtape Letters (Collector's Box Set) by C. S. Lewis
Buy new: $32.64 / Used from: $26.00 Simply the best introduction to Christianity I've found-beyond the Bible of course. Very readable and thought provoking-not to mention humourous in the case of Screwtape
|
 | Sense and Sensibility: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1995 Film)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.00 Particularly if you enjoyed the DVD, this is the CD you can leave on repeat during a quiet afternoon
|
 | Beethoven: Piano Sonatas
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $0.99 This isn't necessarily the best preformance but it has the essential sonatas. Peter Serkin is probably better but unfotunately that CD is rather old and harder to find.
|
 | Paris Combo by Paris Combo
Buy used from: $3.00 I suppose you need to have at least a neutral view of France in order to enjoy this cd, however I find it suits late evening dinner preparations really well.
|
 | Emma (A&E, 1997)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.40 Please, please watch this Kate Beckinsale adaptation rather than the other one. It is so much better and requires only a slightly more sophisticated viewer.
|
 | Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.99 The cast alone is enough. Thompson does an amazing adaptation here and Kate W. is absolutely perfect. Rickman as well. It is ADAPTED but it's quite good.
|
 | Persuasion
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.87 Just watch it a few times and it will be a favorite. The most "real" of all these J.A. adaptations. Amanda Root is brilliant as is Ciaran Hinds.
|
 | French Kiss
Buy used from: $5.42 This is just for fun-if you like to see Paris and enjoy Meg and Kevin Kline-get it.
|
 | French Kiss: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.52 Even if you don't like the movie-this is a very fun sound track.
|
 | Anna Karenina (Modern Library Classics) by Leo Tolstoy
Buy new: $9.31 / Used from: $0.25 Constance Garnett is one of the best translations but it's highly personal. The point is, read the book.
|
![Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina [VHS]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5128M258WGL._SL75_.jpg) | Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina [VHS]
Buy used from: $2.49 And while you're at it, watch this movie. It isn't on DVD yet but it's a visual masterpiece. Just don't depend on it for your exams because they change quite a few things and leave out many chapters
|
 | WHAT OUR MOTHERS DIDN'T TELL US: Why Happiness Eludes the Modern Woman by Danielle Crittenden
Buy new: $11.96 / Used from: $0.01 Essential for any young woman who believes she thinks for herself. Especially annoying to the group-think crowd who will be overly defensive. Sorry about that.
|
 | Emma (Everyman's Library (Cloth)) by Jane Austen
Buy new: $15.00 / Used from: $3.98 A classic for every well-read and slightly romantic person
|
 | Sense and Sensibility (Everyman's Library) by Jane Austen
Buy new: $12.24 / Used from: $0.91 So much more involved than the movie. One really needs to read it.
|
 | Persuasion (Everyman's Library (Cloth)) by Jane Austen
Buy new: $12.92 / Used from: $0.98 The most subtile of Jane Austen's works. Requires some imagination but is deeply rewarding.
|
 | Pride and Prejudice (Everyman's Library) by Jane Austen
Buy new: $13.60 / Used from: $0.07 Everyone's favorite-but for good reason. One of the lighter of her novels.
|
 | A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924 by Professor Orlando Figes
Buy new: $16.50 / Used from: $7.00 One of the most readable books on this crucial period in Russian history. Also see Figes recent work, Natasha's Dance for a popular history of Russian culture.
|
 | Return to Diversity: A Political History of East Central Europe since World War II by Joseph Rothschild
Buy used from: $0.49 The best book on this topic-even if it isn't the newest. Short and memorable.
|
 | Seven Ages of Paris by Alistair Horne
Buy used from: $1.83 A very enjoyable way to refresh your memory-you'll need to supplement the treatment of the 1789 Revolution however.
|
 | The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise
Buy used from: $3.96 An entirely new look at how to approach educating children.
|
 | The Great Game: The Struggle for Empire in Central Asia (Kodansha Globe) by Peter Hopkirk
