 | Crime and Punishment (Bantam Classics) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.95 A classic from a consummate Russian writer. A tragic story about how we can fall so far when we think ourselves as better than another and act on it. Raskolnikov is the perfect protagonist/antagonist figure rolled into one.

 | Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.46 A jewel of a first novel. Superbly written, extraordinary in detail, spiritually meaningful, exceptionally imaginative. Warning: keep an open mind about the ending. Reality is not always what it seems.

 | The Hour I first Believed by Wally(Author) Lamb
Buy used from: $6.88 Terrific book by Lamb. A story that weaves the Columbine High school tragedy in with several other stories about love, grief, family secrets, and a women's prison in New Hampshire. Nicely done, and the Columbine events are historically accurate.

 | Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
Buy new: $10.19 / Used from: $5.86 Christopher Moore always entertains, never fails to amuse, and rarely disappoints. His wacky writing style is evident in this novel about Jesus' childhood. If you are an open-minded Christian with a good sense of humor, you will love this book. If you are fundamentalist, stay away.
