| 1. |  | Netherland (Readers Circle)
from Center Point Large Print
Price: $32.95
Customer Review:
"Netherland" is a very good read. Hans van den Broek, Joseph O'Neill's protagonist and narrator is of four worlds: childhood in The Hague; pre-9/11 London; 9/11-era New York City; and post-9/11 London. O'Neill's tale weaves together van den Broek's recollections interrupted by reveries of these four... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I liked the first book Into The Woods. Loved the follow up The Likeness. The writer puts you in a small town in Ireland. Really interesting characters, you will want to live in "the house". You can read other reviews about the story i just wanted to give it a rave "cant put it down" review. This... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | In the Woods
from Penguin Audio
Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
While I enjoyed much of this book, as it became clearer and clearer towards the end that the most compelling reason to keep reading (a 20 yr old murder mystery) would not even be explained, I truly was incredulous. The reader is given many hints as to the who, what, and how of this 20 year old case,... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Viking Adult
Price: $15.33
Customer Review:
With the exception of my re-reading J.P. Donleavy's The Ginger Man, The Secret Scripture was the best book I read in 2008. I couldn't put it down. A must-have for your library. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Gathering: A Novel
from Grove Press
Price: $16.32
Customer Review:
Anne Enright has written a book that will (and has) spark debates for years to come. Admittedly, this book is not for everyone and more often than not the reader will have to re read it to fully understand what this book is about. I, for one, enjoyed this grim tale of Veronica Hegarty. The backdrop... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Ulysses (Modern Library)
from Modern Library
Price: $16.29
Customer Review:
This is one of those novels that in actuality heralded the end of the novel as it was known (and still is for those of us who still enjoy a story for story's sake, and by that I mean all the ingredients).
I first attempted to read this during my days in the army since I'd heard so much about... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
After reading several reviews, I decided to purchase both this book and An Irish Country Christmas as gifts for a member of my family.

from Chelsea House Publications
Customer Review:
I'm not quite sure what to say. Every time I wanted to pick up this book I had to force myself. However, as soon as I started reading it was not a chore. This book contains some of the most beautiful prose I have ever read. I think Joyce captured a young man's journey from childhood into adulthood... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Heart and Soul
from Knopf
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
It's something comforting about Maeve Binchy's books. The cliché about a book being like a good friend, is so very right in her case. Of course, one is interested in finding out what happens to the characters, but there is no hurry. In the case of this book, it is much more preferable to sit... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
