| 1. |  | Atlas Shrugged
from Highbridge Audio
Price: $23.07
Customer Review:
I'm torn with this one. I was disappointed that Eddie didn't get to go to the gully. I was disappointed that Dangy ended up with John, Hank would have made sense, Frisco even more but I didn't get the John thing. I agree with the basic meaning of the book although it enforced it too much. At times I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Slaughterhouse-Five (or The Children's Crusade: A Duty Dance with Death)
from Caedmon
Price: $21.27
Customer Review:
Slaughterhouse five is one of those great anti-war books in the 60's that is really hard to describe, so I'll make it quick. It tells about Billy Pilgrim, who 'time travels' to many points of his life, including the bombing of Dresden. He also gets kidnapped by aliens and learns about their way of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Tantor Media
Customer Review:
Always heard about the man and the book but it was difficult trying to follow and understand. Gave up three quarters of the way through. Did learn a little something though. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | To Kill a Mockingbird
from Caedmon
Price: $32.97
Customer Review:
Her voices for the various characters and her southern accent are enchanting. She was a pleasure to listen to. The story is told by Scout, the daughter of Atticus, an attorney defending a black man accused of rape. The story illustrates the ugliness of racial inequalities in the South which hurts.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $13.95
Customer Review:
While a good read with strong themes, I struggle to grasp why this book is considered such a "classic" by so many. I'll admit - I am no one to judge what a "classic" is, but it would be nice if someone could explain it to me - as there are other books out there that drive at similar points but are... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Pride & Prejudice
from Blackstone Audiobooks
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
After seeing a number of adaptations, I finally decided to read all of
Austen's novels. Northanger Abbey was not bad, and Sense and Sensibility
is excellent. However, this is the best so far. While there is a lot of
insightful comment on the custom of English society of the time,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The Fountainhead
from Highbridge Audio
Price: $23.07
Customer Review:
Ayn Rand's talent as a writer is manifest primarily in her characterizations, and her ability to write dialogue. She is also a master of analogy, though it is an over employed technique.
Although my familiarity with her philosophy is limited to The Fountainhead, it certainly is capsulized in... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from BBC Audiobooks America
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
I did not like this book. It had a few interesting elements but the concepts are a little "out there." I would not recommend this book to anyone unless they had nothing else to read. I did not even finish the book. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Catch-22 CD
from Caedmon
Price: $32.64
Customer Review:
MASH is definetly the one word to describe this book. I can't imagine that the sitcom, MASH, wasn't inspired by this book. You can even pick out certain characters although they are sometimes blended together or split apart. Although, MASH would have been limited to Cinemax if it was an accurate... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
