| 1. |  | 2666: A Novel
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $18.00
Customer Review:
This work, by one of a handful of brilliant writers, spans the whole of the imagination. Clearly without equal, the late Robeto Bolano, has made concrete dreams and razor edged light seem commonplace. Pervasive, funny and savage all at the same instant | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I tried and tried and tried and tried to finish this book, and finally did, THREE MONTHS LATER, and I read Moby Dick in 48 hours (college assignment, 48 hours, no sleep, even read it in the tub). I am not a slow reader.
There just wasn't enough to keep you interested in this story, and not... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I had to read this book for my English class. I didn't know anything about it other than it's legendary status. As I read it, I enjoyed it. It took me time to get through it and for me, it was not the kind of book I could sit down and read a page or two during commercials of the TV show I was... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Harper
Price: $17.11
Customer Review:
I was surprise I actually made it through this book especially since its only 244 pages long. It has nothing going for itself since it sets out to do way too many things and ends up not doing any of them well. Read some old Carter Dickson locked room mystery instead. | 3.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Borges: Collected Fictions
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.79
Customer Review:
My first experience with the writing of Borges. I enjoy his ability to bring the reader into the middle of an ongoing experience - that is, to create the sense that the story had been going on long before one starts reading. My only hesitation in this review is that the translation might make his... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I speak both Spanish and English (and lived Argentina) and I can say that these English translations, particularly those of Yates, are some of the best I have come across.
